Chapter 3409 He's Really Scared

Hera let out a cold sneer, feeling that Gerald's apology was not sincere.

Hera did not want to press the issue at the moment. She gave him a sharp look. "Come with me."

Gerald knew that Hera was up to something again. If it were a normal order, she would have just said it in the living room.

Whenever she called him aside, it meant whatever she had to say could not be overheard by others.

Reluctantly, Gerald followed her out.

It was midday, and as soon as Hera stepped out of the living room, a wave of heat hit her face.

The intense warmth made her feel uncomfortable.

Hera got straight to the point, turning to Gerald. "What did Luca say to you just now?"

"She just asked me to help keep an eye on the volunteer," Gerald answered honestly. This was not something that needed to be kept secret.

Hera frowned. "Is she going out"

Gerald hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say anything.

"I'm talking to you, not the wall. Are you mute?" Hera threatened. "If you lie to me, I'll tell your boss you're bullying me."

Gerald's expression grew frantic. "Ms. Sanchez, please, if the boss believes you, I'm done for."

"Scared? Then tell me what's going on! And don't think I'm joking when I say bullying. It's not the kind of bullying you think it is. It's more like..." Hera tugged at her clothes, emphasizing her point.

Gerald stepped back in fear, turning his head away. "Yes, Ms. Craw is going out." "Where's she going?" asked Hera.

"She didn't say, I don't know," replied Gerald, still too afraid to look at her. The scene before him was too tempting, and he feared that if he looked even once, Abel would have his eyes removed.

He remembered what he had heard yesterday when the man who had dragged the doctor away told him about it.

The doctor had been tortured by the boss for hours, and still, he had the nerve to threaten him.

Now the man was dead, dumped into the sea.

Despite being a wanted fugitive, Gerald valued his life.

He did not want to end up crippled or worse-dead.
