Chapter 237 She Goes Back on Her Own Gerald was driving the car on the highway.
Gerald didnât want to talk to Leana anymore as he was a little angry.
After all, Gerald had risked his life to save Leana, but she still threatened to expose his secret unless he agreed to bring her into Night Watch. This was really... too much!
Even though he knew that Leana wanted to avenge her parents, he still felt a little annoyed in his heart. He simply didnât pay attention to her.
âDo you agree or not?â Leana sat in the passenger seat and asked Gerald.
âWell,â Gerald said, âI saved your life. Instead of thanking me, you threatened me. Itâs unfair, right?â
Leana said indifferently, âI know Iâm being a jerk, but I have no other choice. I have to go to Night Watch. My parents were Watchmen but got killed by insiders. I have to take revenge!â
âSaul did it, right?â Gerald asked, âMr. Jackson told me that my mission is to kill him. I promise you that I will kill him for you one day. Is that okay?â
âNo, I must kill him personally to avenge my parents,â Leana said stubbornly.
âDonât be a child,â Gerald said.
âAnyway, if you donât bring me into Night Watch, I will expose you. I donât care!â Leana said willfully.
Gerald turned on the emergency flashers and pull in on the emergency lane.
Gerald turned around and said to Leana, âGet down!â
âWhat?â Leana was stunned for a moment. âWhat do you mean?â
âI only promised Mr. Jackson to save you, but you repaid my kindness with ingratitude. I am not your grandfather, so I wonât spoil you. Now that I have rescued you, there is no need to take you back to Washington,â Gerald said.
Leana was stunned. She glared at Gerald and said, âThis is the highway. How can I go back?â
Gerald curled his lips and said, âOn foot!â
âYou...â Leanaâwas speechless. She looked at Gerald in surprise and said, âYou... you donât have the slightest manner of being a gentleman!â
âDamn!â Gerald scolded, âI fucking saved you, and then youâre cursing me. Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get down.â
âI...â Leana was dumbfounded. She did not expect Gerald to ask her to get out of the car.
Leana seemed to have lost her temper. She got out of the car and said through gritted teeth, âAlright. You have to bring me into Night Watch. Otherwise, I will expose you. Give me your phone. I will call someone to pick me up!â
She heard a sound at this moment.
The window was winded up.
Then, the engine roared.
The car suddenly rushed out in front of Leanaâs eyes.
Leana stood there dumbfounded.
She thought that Gerald was just scaring her.
But Gerald... really left her on the highway and drove away by himself.
âGerald, bastard!â Leana stomped her feet in anger.
It was almost midnight.
Gerald drove the car and curled his lips.
Gerald understood Leanaâs thoughts, but he was a bit annoyed. Leana was so naïve that she thought that her requirements would be unconditionally met.
Gerald wasnât worried because Leana was at the top level. Although it was fifty miles far, she could still be able to run back.
Gerald was in a good mood. After all, he had dealt with Darrell and Mark properly.
He stepped on the gas pedal. About an hour later, he returned to his apartment.
In the room, Valery and the other two girls had not slept yet. After seeing Gerald, Carolyn hurriedly, asked, âHow is it? Has it been settled?â
Gerald nodded and said, âYes, I have solved the problems.â
âThatâs good!â Valery heaved a sigh of relief and said, âOtherwise, I wouldnât be able to report to Mr. Jackson. Well, you sent Leana back, right?â
âI left her on the highway.â Gerald shrugged his shoulders.
âWhat?â The three girls were stunned. They all looked at Gerald. Macy stammered, âYou... you left her on the highway?â
âThatâs right. I saved her. She even threatened me and asked me to bring her into Night Watch. If I didnât, she would expose me. I was so angry that I left her on the road and asked her to run back,â
Gerald said.
Carolyn, Valery, and Macy were stunned.
âYou left a girl on the highway at midnight. Gerald, you are a bastard,â Valery said.
âBut that girl is really silly,â Carolyn said, âShe seems to be at the top level. She should be fine.â
up âShe is. Derick spoils her too much,â Gérald curled his lips and said, âIâm going to wash and sleep. I still have work tomorrow.â
He walked to the bathroom.
â1 When they heard the sound of water in the bathroom, Macy looked at Valery and said, âGerald... will always be single, right?â
âI suppose so!â Valery pouted.
Carolyn giggled. âItâs best if heâs single. If he canât find a wife, Iâll marry Valery glanced at her and then lowered her head without saying anything.
him!â
On the highway from Baltimore to Washington.
A big truck was running with many goods loaded. At the back of the truck, a slim figure was hanging on the tail of the truck! Her hands were holding onto the railing of the truck.
The wind howled, blowing up all her short hair.
She was Leana.
As a topâlevel expert, she could easily cling to a truck on the highway.
âDamn Gerald! Damn!â
Leana kicked the truckâs cover and cursed, âHe left me on the highway. I am a beautiful woman with a good figure. He left me on the highway. Is he still a man?â
She had never been treated like this in her life. She looked quite embarrassed at this time.
The truck slowly stopped in the traffic jam. Leana gritted her teeth and jumped out of the car. She walked towards Washington.
She used her phone for payment, so she didnât bring her phone. Without money in her hands, she could only walk back home.
After walking for half an hour, she reached her home.
When she walked to the door, she saw Derick waiting anxiously.
For a moment, she felt her nose sour, and tears immediately flowed down.
She cried.
Even when she was rescued by Gerald, she still wore an arrogant look. However, Gerald left her on the highway, causing her to hang on a truck in the wind for more than an hour. When she returned home, she felt so bitter and broke into tears.
âIâm glad to see you are fine!â Derick ran up and hugged Leana. âIf something happens to you, donât know how to explain it to your parents!â
âGrandpa! Iâm sorry.â Leana sniffed.
âThis time, we have to thank Gerald. Tomorrow, we will treat him to a meal,â Derick said.
Leana gritted her teeth and said, âGrandpa, I want to treat him to a meal alone. Iâll go find him tomorrow!â
