hapter 255 This Woman Is Too Noisy

At Hawkins Manor, Geraldine was pacing back and forth with her phone in hand, looking á little anxious. There were drops of sweat on her nose.

The clock on the wall was already pointing to 11:00 pm, but there was still no news from that bunch of young gangsters.

Geraldine had completely lost patience and was about to change her shoes to go out. At that moment, she heard the sound of motorcycles from outside.

Looking pleased, she hurriedly opened the door.

“Tiger, how did things go?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tiger was the lead gangster. He took off his helmet and looked expressionlessly at Geraldine before saying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Geraldine.”

Geraldine was lost for a moment and asked quickly, “Why are you apologizing? Didn’t it go well? That’s impossible! There’s so many of you, and you couldn’t deal with a single, frail woman?”

Tiger was lost for words. “Ms. Geraldine, are you sure that you didn’t get the wrong information?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Geraldine. I’ll return the 200 thousand dollars to you, but I need you to come with me now.”

Geraldine didn’t understand. “What do you mean by that?”

Tiger spread his hands and explained, “Taking people’s money means helping them with their business. We’re working according to the rules.”

When he finished, the gangsters behind him came forward and grabbed hold of Geraldine.

“Tiger, what are you doing? Did you take money from that b*tch, Grace? How much did she give you? I’ll give you more!”

Tiger replied, “Ms. Geraldine, this isn’t about money.” Then, he tied her up.

“What are you doing? Let go of me right now! I’m from the Hawkins family, and if you do this, then the Hawkins will never let you get away with it!”

No matter how much Geraldine yelled and shouted, the gangsters showed no mercy.

Finally, Tiger could stand it no longer and said, “This woman is too noisy. Tape up her mouth.

“Tiger, you can’t do this! Tiger-”

Geraldine hadn’t finished speaking when her mouth was taped shut with transparent tape.

Then, the gangsters took her to the police station, where Tiger personally handed over the security footage to the police.

Grace’s lawyer also went with them.

Finally, Geraldine was accused of stealing corporate secrets and was locked up at once.

When the Hawkins received the news, it was already the next day.

Benjamin had just come home from overseas and was still suffering from jet lag when he was cornered at home by his uncle and Geraldine’s father, Titus Hawkins.

In the living room, Benjamin sat on the couch as he sipped coffee to refresh himself. Titus and Olivia were sitting on either side of him, sobbing as they c

“Benjamin, I’m begging you. Please save Geraldine …‘

“I heard that Grace was the one who sued her and claimed that she had stolen Amirate’s

internal data. Geraldine and Grace rarely interacted, and it’s impossible that she would do something like that! There must be a misunderstanding.

“You and Grace were once husband and wife, so let’s just settle this privately. Don’t let your cousin get sued.”

Benjamin was speechless.

As he finished his cup of coffee, he looked less exhausted. Yet he remained impassive, as if this had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Titus had no choice but to change tracks. He went upstairs to look for Elizabeth. Elizabeth had been meditating. She was furious upon hearing the news.
