Chapter 80 A Disaster to Befall
After hanging up the phone, Gerald put up a sneer.
This was his biggest strategy to prevent Henley and Doreen from getting engaged.
The reason why the Cousy family wanted Doreen and Henley to get married was that they wanted to use Henley’s family
business.
There were some problems with the Cousy family’s business.
Or rather, the Zumthor family was competing with them. The Cousy family had no choice but to cooperate with the Zumthor family, so marriage was the best solution.
When the Zumthor family was busy with their own industries
and there was a huge problem with the cooperation between
them and the bank, would they still have the mood to hold this
engagement banquet? The answer was obviously no.
As for how the Cousy family looked for a way out, it was none
of Gerald’s business.
Now that Gerald had done all this, he was only waiting for the Zumthor family to be in a mess overnight. Would they still have the mood to hold the engagement banquet tomorrow?
It would probably be temporarily canceled. After a period of time, the Cousy family would find that there was a huge
problem with the Zumthor family, then they would not marry Doreen to Henley.
Unfortunately, Gerald could not see Henley’s flustered look.
But Gerald was not in a hurry. Since Henley’s family had a certain relationship with Blood Lotus, Blood Lotus would not watch the Zumthor family fall. Gerald would definitely participate in places with Blood Lotus. There were a lot of dealings with the Zumthor family.
Gerald touched his nose and a smile appeared on his lips. He now had two most important things. Searching for information about Watchman No. 2 and proving his innocence.
Just as Gerald was about to leave the school, suddenly, a group
of nine people was walking toward Gerald.
Most of them were wearing the uniform of security guards,
while the other was a bald man with glasses. He looked to be in
his forties or fifties.
“Sir, it was this guy who was fighting on the playground just
now,” a security guard pointed at Gerald and said.
Gerald was stunned for a moment and cursed in his heart.
Doreen and the others drove away smoothly. Now, Gerald was caught alone.
The principal of the school was no longer the same person. He
looked Gerald up and down and said in a low voice, “Who are you? Why are you coming to our school? Put your hands up, or I will call the police!”
“Sir, I am here to relive my old days. And I am the one who was bullied just now. It has nothing to do with me,” Gerald spread
his hands and said.
“Catch him and send him to the constabulary!” The principal
said in a low voice.
The security guards did not say anything and directly pounced
toward Gerald.
Gerald was extremely troubled. He could not do anything to
these people. He sighed and fled the scene.
His speed was so fast that in almost an instant, he passed
through the crowd. The security guards did not even touch his hair. Gerald ran over, turned around, and said, “Principal, the
one who hit me just now is called Armand. You should
investigate him. It is best to capture him and put him in jail for a few days.”
After that, Gerald turned and ran away again.
“How can this person run so fast?” The principal looked at Gerald’s back and cursed.
The principal heard Armand’s name, and his expression
changed. Then he looked at the security guard and said, “Go and check if the school lost anything. Also, don’t spread this
matter.”
The Cousy family was not someone he could afford to offend.
Gerald ran out of the school gate and stopped at the entrance. Suddenly, he saw a stall next to him and his expression
changed slightly.
“This stall is still open?” Gerald was slightly surprised!
This stall was very small. It was a stall selling pancakes. It had
been here since Gerald entered high school. At that time, it was
40 cents for one. Gerald would come to buy one every noon.
He didn’t expect that after nine years, the stall was still here!
Because it was already afternoon and the students were in
class, there was no one at the stall!
Gerald walked over, and a middle-aged woman was sitting there playing with her phone.
“How much is one pancake?” Gerald asked.
“40 cents.” She did not look up and looked at her phone.
