Chapter 719

Chapter 719

The two women were shocked into silence. Mrs. Gamble's face was

pale, as if she had been slapped countless times by Harold himself.

She stared at Christian in disbelief. "Christian, is everything your

brother said true? If this MI6 energy partnership falls through... you

won't just get a slap from your brother, you'll be sitting behind bars!"

Both old Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Gamble looked disappointed in

Christian. He was the youngest son of the family and always spoiled by

everyone, unlike his older brother who ran things for the Gamble family.

But now he had made such a mistake...

Christian clenched his fists so tightly that he almost broke his own

fingers. He couldn't speak; he never thought Chaz would do something

like this.

In the end, it hurt not only him but also his brother and their entire

family.

He just wanted to make some money - he thought there was no use

keeping that Trojan horse on his computer all day long when it could be

exchanged for cash instead...

It was that simple.

Even though they pampered him so much, even the old Mrs. Gamble

couldn't help but get angry at him now; she picked up her cane and hit

Christian with it hard. "What's wrong with you? Tell me! Why did you do

such a thing? Are you stupid?"

What did they rely on to have their current status as part of the Gamble

family?

Wasn't it because Harold knew Chad?

But before Christian could finish speaking, there suddenly came a loud

noise from outside, mixed with urgent footsteps from their butler along

with other voices. "Excuse us! What are you doing here? Let me inform

Mr. Gamble!"

"Why are you barging in like this?! Ow!" There came another sound -

as if someone fell down outside.

Harold couldn't help walking towards where all these sounds were

coming from. He saw Raul sitting on the ground looking disheveled and

hurt; he then quickly went over to help him up and asked, "Raul, are

you alright?"

“I'm fine."

Harold turned around angrily towards these policemen who had barged

into their home without any warning or permission whatsoever!

"What do you want?" Harold demanded an answer while one police

captain showed them an arrest warrant against Christian for hacking

into computer systems illegally!

"Mr. Gamble," The captain spoke directly towards Harold. "I'm sorry we

have to take Christian away right now."

Christian never expected the police to show up. He was pale with fear,

and he scrambled behind Harold, pleading for help. “Harold... I don't

want to go to jail. Please save me!"

Even though old Mrs. Gamble was furious, she had no choice but to

care about her grandson. "Mr. Jett, my Christian is just a child who

didn't understand the severity of the situation and had no ill intentions

when he sold that Trojan horse to Chaz."

"Can't we work something out? Considering all that my family has done

for you in the past, can you let Christian go?"

"Old Mrs. Gamble, everyone is equal before the law," Mr. Jett said

sternly.

Harold didn't expect Mr. Jett to be so harsh either; he took a deep

breath and tried his best to remain calm as he spoke up, "Mr. Jett, we

have always been on good terms with each other; while it's true that

Christian made a mistake here today, but does it really warrant an

arrest?"

"Don't blame me for not helping you on this matter,” Mr. Jett replied

coldly. "If both Chaz and Tucker were caught except him, it would make

people suspicious of the fair legal treatment.”

Mrs. Gamble quickly pulled out a bank card from her purse and handed

it over with an apologetic expression. "Mr. Jett, please let Christian go

considering our long-standing friendship between our two families; he's

still young and doesn't know any better yet. I'll scold him properly later."

However, Mr. Jett pushed her hand away directly while looking at her

mockingly, "Young age? Is this really about being young or ignorant?

This is clearly breaking the law! Besides, he's already an adult man

now. How can someone like that still claim ignorance? That would

make them nothing more than giant babies!"

After hearing Mr. Jetts' sarcastic words, Mrs. Gamble almost fainted

from anger. She was used being treated like royalty among other high

society ladies, but nobody ever dared talk down upon her like this

before.

But, the police did not give them any more time. They signaled their

men behind them, and they went ahead arresting Christian. Christian

couldn't help struggling as they came closer, "Harold, save me, save

me!" But no matter how much he struggled, it was useless against

several policemen who quickly apprehended him. He even got

handcuffed too!

Old Mrs. Gamble watched in heartbreak as her beloved grandson was

taken away by the police. She was nearly fainting and shouted with

great emotion, "What gives you the right to arrest him? Let me tell you,

the Gamble family is not one to be messed with. If you want to take him

away, you'll have to step over me first."

She stood in front of several police officers with her cane, ready for a

showdown.
