“Call her then!” ordered Gerald.
He had to meet up and deal with Xavia as soon as he could. Gerald couldn’t have her troubling him all the time.
‘If I’ve done anything wrong to you, take your revenge on me! Your mistake was hurting those close to me,’ Gerald thought to himself. He just couldn’t stand people like that.
As Natasha reached for her phone, she kept signaling to her subordinates—using her eyes—to take down Gerald and the duo. However, none of the guards even dared to move. They all knew how strong Gerald’s people were so they didn’t do anything. Only people like Scorpion would be able to deal with Tyson and Drake.
Understanding that they weren’t going to act, Natasha could only hand over her phone to Gerald in defeat.
Gerald quickly found Xavia’s number and called her. He soon found out, however, that Xavia’s phone had been turned off.
“Why is her phone turned off?”
“H-how should I know?”
“If you aren’t going to be honest with me, maybe this will make you more willing to comply. Tyson!”
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!” He then pulled out another silver needle and brought it close to her neck.
“W-wait!” At that moment, Natasha began crying before she said, “I-I’m telling the truth! That really is my sister’s number!” replied Natasha between wails.
No matter how much Tyson threatened to bring the needle closer to her, she kept repeating the same thing.
Tyson looked at Gerald. Gerald frowned before waving his hand. Tyson then immediately let go of her after seeing the gesture.
Gerald was just trying to scare her into telling the truth, but apparently she hadn’t lied in the first place. Even if he really wanted to beat Natasha up, he knew he could never bring himself to actually do it.
After all, he was the reason why Xavia dropped out. It was the only reason why he had taken the slap earlier. He saw it as returning a favor to Xavia.
Knowing that it was no use staying here, Gerald continued to frown as he walked out of the room.
