324 Gerry Is in a Difficult Position


    Joseph left. Gerry got a chair for Ste and put it at the door. “Have a rest, Ste. I’ll tell you when the crab is in the steamer.”


    “Gerry...”


    Gerry was ready to leave, but Ste suddenly pulled his sleeve.


    Gerry turned around and was stunned. “Ste, how can I help?”


    “I want to ask you something...”


    Ste raised her head and looked at Gerry. Her eyes were so watery that her pupils were like ck pearls that had been soaked in water. They were wet, beautiful, and charming.


    Ste’s appearance when she was sad was really beautiful, it was very moving, and it made people feel pity for her in their hearts.


    She really deserved to be the best Chinese actress in Hollywood. Her beauty was iparable.


    Gerry was also a man with desire. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses. “Just tell me if you need any help. I’ll definitely help as long as I can..”


    .....


    “Can you...”


    “Can you stop looking into the messages Joseph got that night?” Ste suddenly lowered her head and wept.


    Gerry paused for a moment, then realized what she meant, “Did you delete the call that night?”


    Ste instantly burst into tears. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t think too much at that time. I regret it now. I’m afraid that Joseph would know about this.”


    “But that night when Miss Isabe went to the West City District, she was almost taken away by the human traffickers there. Mr. Joseph thought that she was kidnapped and vited. He almost went crazy.”


    Although Gerry’s tone was t, his words still showed his anxiety at that time. “That was her life-saving call. Why didn’t you tell Mr. Joseph? This concerns Miss Isabe’s life!”


    “I didn’t know that she was in danger! I had no idea!”


    Ste gripped Gerry’s sleeve, “You know howte it was when she called, and Joseph took care of me sote. He sat beside me and fell asleep. When I saw the phone call, I thought that Isabe was bothering Joseph, so I hung up. I didn’t know it would end up like that!”


    Gerry frowned. “Then why didn’t you tell Mr. Joseph the next day? Mr. Joseph went crazy looking for Miss Isabe. I’m sure you knew about it.”


    Ste’s tears fell on Gerry’s hands. “I was afraid...”


    “Afraid?”


    “Gerry...”


    Ste almost knelt on the ground. She raised her head and looked at Gerry. “You know, there are too many misunderstandings between me and Joseph. I can’t endure any more suffering. Back then, I was together with Kason, so Joseph hated my guts. For so many years, I’ve tried to fix our rtionship but I failed...”


    Ste blinked back her tears and said, “I feel very bitter in my heart. I know that Joseph and I will never be able to return to those innocent and romantic times. But I don’t want him to misunderstand me or hate me even more ... I didn’t mean it... I really didn’t mean it...”


    Gerry pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.


    He had never betrayed Joseph and he didn’t want to betray him either.


    Although it was Joseph who had casually asked him to investigate, he had always listened to Joseph’s orders very much. A betrayal would leave all his loyalty in ruins.


    “Sorry.”


    “Ste, I can’t help you. If I go to the telmunicationspany and find nothing, I will keep my mouth shut. But if I find records of the two calls, I will report to Mr. Joseph. And it’s his decision to choose whether to believe you or not. I will not betray him.”


    “Gerry...”


    Ste looked at Gerry and said with tears on her face, “If it wasn’t for me back then, how could you have lived to this day? You only wanted to be loyal to Joseph and repay him with your lifelong loyalty. But I saved your life too, when have you ever repaid me?”


    ...


    In the afternoon.


    On the white rectangr table in the cabin, everyone sat around and started lunch.


    As the host, Joseph sat in the middle. Next to him were Doris and Ste. Isabe and Cedric sat together, while Zachary and Jayden sat on the other side, and the rest of the beauties surrounded Zachary and Jayden, leaving Isabe’s side a bit lonely.


    The waiters started to serve.


    Everyone was served steamed crab, but only Isabe had fried crabs that were cut into pieces.


    Cedric saw the crab on Isabe’s te was different. She asked in confusion, “Why do you have fried ones? We all have steamed crabs.”


    Isabe giggled, “Maybe I’m lucky.”


    Gerry said respectfully, “Because this crab grabbed Miss Isabe’s finger, so Miss Isabe wants to take her revenge.”


    Cedric burst outughing.


    “You really know how to be calctive. So your finger was hurt by the crab. You still hid it from me and said it was cut.”


    Isabe smiled. “Actually, I don’t want to beughed at. I always feel that this kind of thing is very stupid.”


    “I’ll finish one piece for you.”


    Cedric happily reached out her fork and directly got one piece from Isabe’s te. Then, she lifted the shell of her steamed crab and brought it to Isabe’s mouth. “Try this crab roe. It’s very delicious. In fact, fresh steamed crabs are more delicious.”


    Isabe smiled, opened her mouth, and ate the crab roe.


    “Oh!”


    Zachary shook his head and sighed, “Cedric, the two of you are really good at showing off your affection. We are damn single and jealous!.”


    Isabe looked at the beauties beside Zachary and rolled her eyes, “Are you saying you are single? Don’t forget your girlfriend Doris...”


    As soon as Isabe finished, she saw Joseph open his mouth and ask Doris to feed him.


    “...”


    Zachary’s girlfriend fed Joseph, it was really...


    Zachary was so generous as if he didn’t mind at all. He even giggled, “Joseph, you should ask Ste to feed you. Doris is my girl.”


    “Isn’t yours mine?”


    Joseph smiled evilly. He reached out to hold Doris’s waist so that she could sit on hisp. Then, he nced at Isabe.


    Isabe immediately shivered and choked.


    Cedric patted her gently with hisrge palm and smiled, “Don’t be afraid. I am different from them. I will not share my girls with anyone.”


    Isabe smiled awkwardly.


    “Miss Isabe, your fried crab looks good. Mind if I take one piece?”


    Perhaps Cedric’s words had provoked Joseph, or it was his actions that made Joseph very unhappy. Joseph suddenly stood up and walked toward Isabe, “Can I?”


    Cedric refused and smiled, “Joseph, don’t joke around. Just ask the chef to fry some more for you if you want. Or do you hate to see us being lovey-dovey here?”


    Joseph shook her head, but his gaze was fixed on Isabe. “There are no crabs left. The batch that was fished up has all been cooked, so there is no more.”
