Xyla seemed to have found something which she could rant on and on about.
Vincy only shook her head slightly in resignation.
Currently, she wanted to give Gerald a call and ask him where he had gone. But after seeing how infuriated Lennard appeared, she refrained from making that call.
Gerald finally knew about the theme of Chairman Gordon’s party that day when Chairman Gordon mentioned Mountain Top Villa in Mayberry.
He was afraid that things would get awkward if he lingered around there any longer.
It would be bad if the others recognized him.
Especially in front of Xyla.
Gerald walked out of the hall before crap hit the fan.
After all, he went there to have some fun at Vincy’s request.
But he still had a lot of things which he needed to deal with, which was partly why he couldn’t stay there for very long.
He was about to return to his room when he received a call from one of his subordinates.
“Mr. Crawford, it’s our fault. At first, we found where that maid was, so we rushed there quickly. But at last… At last, that old maid was picked up by someone else before us!”
Since they had obtained the clues, it became easy for them to pinpoint where that maid was.
But it was beyond Gerald’s expectation that someone else would beat them to it despite how careful he had been acting. He even sent his subordinates out swiftly after they received the news.
Resentment filled Gerald’s heart.
“Who picked her up?” Gerald asked.
“We’re still investigating at the moment. But we’re sure that there’s another group of people who were competing with us to locate where this maid is!”
“Alright, I see. I’ll send more men over quickly. Hurry up and investigate it!”
Gerald hung up the phone. He was now put in a rather difficult position.
‘Why is it so hard to track down a single person!?”
“Gerald?”
