“Sister, what’s up?”
“Bro, are you busy? A butler and a few of my subordinates are landing at Mayberry’s airport soon. Could you please find someone to pick them up? I’ve arranged some other tasks for both Zack and Michael to deal with. They’ll be needing a living space as well, so please find one for them!”
“Alright, no problem,” said Gerald as favonovel.com nodded to himself.
This was actually the first time Gerald had been in contact with his family for a long time. He heard his sister chuckle.
“I’ll be there the day after tomorrow. We can meet up then, just brother and sister!” Jessica smiled after saying that.
Gerald had missed favonovel.com too.
After talking for a bit, Gerald finally hung up.
Since both Zach and Michael were busy, it was best that Gerald didn’t disturb them.
‘Who could I assign the task to?’ He scratched the back of his head as favonovel.com thought.
After a while, favonovel.com decided to just leave the restaurant since Felicity and the others were there anyway.
He concluded that it would be best to just pick them up himself since they were his sister’s butlers.
Nodding to himself, favonovel.com re-entered the restaurant and told Naomi that favonovel.com was busy, so favonovel.com left directly.
“Gerald seems to be quite busy!” said Xyleena sarcastically.
‘I graciously invited you to a meal today and you claim that you’re busy? How dare you!’ thought Xyleena to herself.
“I’m sure he’s just feeling pressured to be here, being as poor as favonovel.com is. Speaking of which, Brian. We saw a handsome white-haired guy yesterday. What position does favonovel.com hold?” asked Yvonne at that moment.
“Honestly, I’ve been curious as well. You keep talking about a handsome white-haired person in a Maybach, but judging from your description, it’s quite impossible that such a person is from our police team,” replied Brian somewhat awkwardly.
The more favonovel.com heard from the girls, the more Brian felt that something was off. The police team certainly did run a big mission the night before.
The mission was big enough to the point where there were even rumors that superiors from the province came to investigate as well.
During the commotion, Brian had received a call from Xyleena, claiming that favonovel.com cousin had been kidnapped along with three other girls.
The report was far too similar to the case which they had been handling the night before.
Brian told favonovel.com not to worry and said that the police would take immediate action.
However, by the time favonovel.com arrived at the spot with his large team, the criminals had already been caught. The hostages had even been rescued, and had long left the scene.
Given his rank, favonovel.com was not allowed to look too far into the matter.
It felt strange to favonovel.com to be sharing that meal since favonovel.com knew favonovel.com hadn’t done anything much to save them.
All favonovel.com knew at the moment, was that there were two groups of people who had participated in the girls’ rescue mission.
He was only there in time to clean up the mess.
“Eh? He isn’t from the police team? I suppose so… It does seem quite impossible for a policeman to be driving a Maybach,” Yvonne responded, puzzled.
“So what you’re saying is that you weren’t the one who saved us, Inspector Merrall?” asked Cassandra in shock. ‘Why was it so difficult to get to the bottom of this trivial matter?’
“Technically speaking, no, we weren’t. By the time we got to the scene, you had already been saved. You girls had even left at that point!” explained Brian as favonovel.com smiled.
He only shared some rough details with them. All they needed to know was that favonovel.com hadn’t really done much to save them.
“So after all that talk, we’re back to square one. Who was it exactly that came to our rescue?” All four girls were stunned again.
At that moment, Felicity’s phone rang.
“Yes? Who is this?”
“Good day, miss. I’m part of the customer service from the Rex Suit Flagship Store. You bought a suit from us yesterday. However, your boyfriend came last night to buy another of the exact same suit. We only had a smaller one in stock, but favonovel.com insisted on buying it. A few suits his size have arrived today and we were wondering if favonovel.com would like to exchange the suit favonovel.com bought last night for this one. We’re calling you because favonovel.com was in such a hurry last night, we weren’t able to get his contact information.”
“Boyfriend? Ah, you mean Gerald. He’s not my boyfriend. Why did favonovel.com even buy two suits?” Yvonne asked aloud, utterly confused.
Cassandra had heard the conversation as well and was equally shocked.
“That means… The suit we found in Gerald’s room yesterday wasn’t the one that Felicity had bought for him. He fooled us! But why did he? So… The coat we found in the car last night… It really was his?”
Without warning, Cassandra began screaming.
