Ch 139

[Chapter 139]

Gerald and Mila were successfully rescued without suffering any mishaps. As for Nigel, he was taken away and handed over to the authorities.

Downstairs.

Quinton and Howard had already driven everyone with them to the scene.

They were all even more shocked when they saw what unfolded before them.

All they could do was stand still on the spot.

Was this Mr. Crawford's power?

Twenty dozen helicopters!

"Zack, what do you mean by that? You last act of service for me?"

Gerald was completely taken aback by Zack's last sentence.

He wanted to find out more about his own family but it seemed as though Zack was already bidding farewell to him.

"Yes, Mr. Crawford. This machine is a special support grade instrument that is used to support the family. I was worried about you today and that is the reason why I made use of the special resources. Even though all of those helicopters were all quite a distance away from Nigel, as long as he tried to do something, he would have been subdued immediately. This group of team members have already formulated and came up with no less than ten solutions for your current situation!"

"But because I activated the special resources, this also means that I have been seriously negligent! Therefore, I will be forced to hand in my resignation!"

Zack said dejectedly.

However, there were no signs of regret on his face at all.

Gerald felt extremely bad about this entire situation.

After all, putting everything into account, all of this started because of him.

What his sister said at the beginning was right. If he were to trample on someone, then he would have to trample on the person to the point that he would not even be able to stand up again.

He did not understand this at that time.

However, this incident was the best proof.

He did not completely resolve the matter involving Nigel. After Nigel found out about his identity, he began to retaliate against him by acting irrationally.

Although the matter involving Nigel has already been resolved now, he still felt a little traumatized when he thought about it. If he had not been able to stall some time, then Mila would have suffered an innocent death because of him!

No matter what it was, Zack still got implicated in this matter and he had been forced to resign.

"Zack, it is okay, I will talk to my sister about this!"

Gerald replied.

Coincidentally as he was speaking, Gerald suddenly received a phone call from his sister, Jessica.

"Brother, how are you? You must be extremely shocked!" Jessica's concerned voice pierced through the other end.

"Sister, how did you find out about this matter so soon?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have already called for the special support so how can I possibly not know about this? You should be more careful and cautious when you handle your affairs in future!"

"I got it. By the way, sis, can Zack be allowed to stay? After all, he was only trying to save me."

Gerald immediately asked.

"Impossible! He did not complete the task that I assigned to him. According to the rules of the family, he would have to resign and leave immediately! He has the responsibility to save you, even if he has to give up his life to do so!"

Jessica replied in a hostile tone.

Zack, who was standing by the side, could hear Gerald's conversation. While he was very grateful towards Gerald, he was not angry hearing Jessica's words and was still very respectful towards him.

Yes. Everything that he has today was given to him by the Crawford family. Moreover, the Crawford family were also the ones who saved his life in the past and brought him up to where he is today.

Even so, he did not fully fulfill the responsibility of protecting the young master of the Crawford family.

He did not fully eliminate all the potential threats.

This was a serious breach of responsibility on Zack's part.

"Well, even if I cannot use Zack anymore, if you are willing to take him in, you will be able to get him to work for you directly then.

The family rules do not state that you can't rehire a person!"

Jessica seemed to understand the guilt her younger brother felt because Zack was going to lose his job because of him. Hence, she came up with an idea for him right away.

"Really?!"

Gerald was ecstatic to hear this.

"Yes, but the premise is that you will have to be running your own business. Otherwise, he will not be able to come back to work for the Crawford family! After you set up your own company, you will be able to ask Zack to stay and work for you or help you if you want him to!"

"That's perfect!"

Gerald finally resolved the feeling of self-blame and guilt that was clogged inside.

At the same time, Zack was feeling exceptionally grateful towards Gerald.

"Mr. Crawford…"

He had so much that he wanted to say, but only two words could come out. Nevertheless, Zack meant it from the bottom of his heart!

Mr. Crawford really did not have to do this. It was not necessary at all, but Mr. Crawford was actually going all out for someone like himself.

Zack really did not know how he would be able to repay this debt!

From now onwards, Gerald would be Zack's direct boss!

As Zack trailed behind Gerald, he started telling him about some of his family matters.

"Gerald, there are some people who were snooping around downstairs. We have already caught them. What should we do now?"

A man clad in black came over.

"Alright then. Let's go over there and take a look!"

Gerald nodded.

Downstairs.

"Let us go! We are Gerald's classmates. You cannot kill us!"

Nathaniel cried as he pleaded out loud.
