Chapter 119 Friend Me on Line
“Let’s go somewhere and talk,” Bree looked at Gerald and said calmly.
Gerald was a little stunned He stroked his nose.
Both Bree and Doreen were from the Cousy family However, the only thing they had in common was
that they were pretty. Their personalities were worlds apart
Doreen was quiet, while Bree had a bad temper. She had been spoiled since she was a kid.
Nine years ago, when Bree woke up, her first reaction was to go to the hotel kitchen. Then she ran
after Gerald for several blocks with a knife in her hand.
Right now, Bree followed him out Gerald figured that either she cursed him or she beat him made
sense
However, Bree was so gentle, and she wanted to talk.
Gerald had mixed feelings.
He could tell that Bree had changed a lot since what happened nine years ago.
Back then, they were close, since Bree was always with Doreen, and Gerald enjoyed hanging out
with Doreen as well.
“OK.” Gerald nodded.
Bree walked in front, and Gerald followed her Neither of them spoke. They went to a café and
found a table to sit down at
Gerald felt a little awkward. He coughed and said, “I heard that you are married.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Bree nodded.
“Congratulations.” Gerald coughed and scratched his head.
Bree revealed a smile, raised her head, and said, “You are looking into what happened back then?”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes. Believe it or not, I was set up I was drunk that day. I have no idea…”
Gerald paused and said, “I have no idea how we ended up having sex. And I don’t know why the hotel
surveillance showed that it was me who brought you into the hotel either. But I do know one
thing. I don’t want to be framed.”
Bree put her hand on the coffee mug, turned it slightly, and murmured, “I believe you.”
“Huh?” Gerald looked up at Bree.
Bree sighed. She did not explain further. Instead, she said, “I was to be blamed as well. I reacted too
strongly at that time. I chased you down several blocks with a kitchen knife, and that was why the thing
couldn’t go away. If we had dealt with it privately, such as getting married after graduation or
something, maybe it would have been over. None of this would have happened.”
Gerald’s heart skipped a beat
Doreen raised her head and looked at Gerald. Her eyes were a little red “But my family found out about
it, and they felt humiliated. Things got too big to stop.
“Ah…” Bree sighed and smiled bitterly. Then she wiped her moist eyes and said, “Sorry to let you
see me like this.”
Gerald frowned. He was not used to who Bree was now.
“Anyway, I believe you were set up, and if there’s anything I can do for you, I will,” Bree said.
Gerald was speechless. To his surprise, Bree followed him out to offer her help.
“There’s no need. A lot of people might be implicated. Those from the Kenneth family made it clear that
they didn’t want me to look into this further, which means the Kenneth family’s upper echelons might
have had something to do with it as well. There is no need to drag you into this and put you in danger
Besides, I have a clue already,” Gerald said with a smile.
Bree was stunned. She looked at Gerald and then smiled, “You’re much more mature than you
were nine years ago. I’m glad.”
Gerald felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He coughed and said, “Well… If there is nothing
else, I will go home now My folks are waiting for me to eat.”
“Friend me on Line,” Bree said.
Gerald was a bit reluctant
After all, Bree was married, and he had sex with her back then. If he friended her on Line, it would
make him feel that he was the third wheel.
Yet he couldn’t turn Bree down. In any case, Bree was the biggest victim of that incident back then.
Though he was framed, it was also the fact that his imprisonment led him to Night Watch.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it today.
Gerald nodded. “OK.”
After friending Bree on Line, Gerald left the café as fast as he could.
Seeing Gerald’s back, Bree lifted her hair casually A trace of sadness and unwillingness flashed
across her eyebrows. She muttered, “Gerald, you still don’t know anything about women.“
Walking to the side of the road, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief
He preferred fighting with those aged Watchmen to being with Bree alone
When he reached the door, he heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked up the
phone and said, “Hello, Keira, what’s the matter?”
Keira said in a low voice, “Gerald, can you accompany me to an antique auction later?”
Without waiting for Gerald to speak, Keira hurriedly added, “A man is pestering me. He wants to go
with me. I am a bit worried. I’m afraid that he might do something to me
Gerald pondered and nodded. “OK. Send me the address.”
“It’s at Blossom Hotel. I will wait for you at the entrance of the hotel,” Keira hastily said.
Gerald nodded and hung up the phone. Then he called Mason and said, “Dad, I’m going to eat with a
friend. Don’t wait up.”
Mason was stunned for a moment, and then he said in a serious tone, “Gerald, Bree is already married.
You…”
“Dad, come on. She has nothing to do with me now.” Gerald was a bit helpless. After talking to Mason
for a few seconds, he quickly hung up the phone.
Gerald let out a breath, stopped a taxi, and rushed to Blossom Hotel. Soon, he arrived at the
entrance of Blossom Hotel.
Blossom Hotel was a five-star hotel in Sacramento, and it was quite large.
Keira was standing at the entrance Beside her stood a short, chubby man. He was talking to her
flatteringly, “Keira, I know antiques are your thing. If there’s anything you like later, just tell me.”
Keira said with a frown, “Thanks, but there’s no need. I’ll bid myself.
“Don’t turn me down, OK? Since you went back to Sacramento, I have been trying to ask you out
several times, but you never agreed. You are always at work. I have told my parents about you. They
like you a lot in every aspect, including both your job and your family. They even want to invite your
parents out for a meal,” the man said with a smile.
Keira frowned and said, “Reece, I have told you many times already. I don’t like you. Stop pestering
