Chapter 719
The two women were shocked into silence. Mrs. Gamble's face waspale, as if she had been slapped countless times by Harold himself.She stared at Christian in disbelief. "Christian, is everything yourbrother said true? If this MI6 energy partnership falls through... youwon't just get a slap from your brother, you'll be sitting behind bars!"Both old Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Gamble looked disappointed inChristian. He was the youngest son of the family and always spoiled byeveryone, unlike his older brother who ran things for the Gamble family.But now he had made such a mistake...
Christian clenched his fists so tightly that he almost broke his ownfingers. He couldn't speak; he never thought Chaz would do somethinglike this.
In the end, it hurt not only him but also his brother and their entirefamily.
He just wanted to make some money - he thought there was no usekeeping that Trojan horse on his computer all day long when it could beexchanged for cash instead...
It was that simple.
Even though they pampered him so much, even the old Mrs. Gamblecouldn't help but get angry at him now; she picked up her cane and hitChristian with it hard. "What's wrong with you? Tell me! Why did you dosuch a thing? Are you stupid?"
What did they rely on to have their current status as part of the Gamblefamily?
Wasn't it because Harold knew Chad?
But before Christian could finish speaking, there suddenly came a loudnoise from outside, mixed with urgent footsteps from their butler alongwith other voices. "Excuse us! What are you doing here? Let me informMr. Gamble!"
"Why are you barging in like this?! Ow!" There came another sound -as if someone fell down outside.
Harold couldn't help walking towards where all these sounds werecoming from. He saw Raul sitting on the ground looking disheveled andhurt; he then quickly went over to help him up and asked, "Raul, areyou alright?"
“I'm fine."
Harold turned around angrily towards these policemen who had bargedinto their home without any warning or permission whatsoever!
"What do you want?" Harold demanded an answer while one policecaptain showed them an arrest warrant against Christian for hackinginto computer systems illegally!
"Mr. Gamble," The captain spoke directly towards Harold. "I'm sorry wehave to take Christian away right now."
Christian never expected the police to show up. He was pale with fear,and he scrambled behind Harold, pleading for help. “Harold... I don'twant to go to jail. Please save me!"
Even though old Mrs. Gamble was furious, she had no choice but tocare about her grandson. "Mr. Jett, my Christian is just a child whodidn't understand the severity of the situation and had no ill intentionswhen he sold that Trojan horse to Chaz."
"Can't we work something out? Considering all that my family has donefor you in the past, can you let Christian go?"
"Old Mrs. Gamble, everyone is equal before the law," Mr. Jett saidsternly.
Harold didn't expect Mr. Jett to be so harsh either; he took a deepbreath and tried his best to remain calm as he spoke up, "Mr. Jett, wehave always been on good terms with each other; while it's true thatChristian made a mistake here today, but does it really warrant anarrest?"
"Don't blame me for not helping you on this matter,” Mr. Jett repliedcoldly. "If both Chaz and Tucker were caught except him, it would makepeople suspicious of the fair legal treatment.”
Mrs. Gamble quickly pulled out a bank card from her purse and handedit over with an apologetic expression. "Mr. Jett, please let Christian goconsidering our long-standing friendship between our two families; he'sstill young and doesn't know any better yet. I'll scold him properly later."However, Mr. Jett pushed her hand away directly while looking at hermockingly, "Young age? Is this really about being young or ignorant?This is clearly breaking the law! Besides, he's already an adult mannow. How can someone like that still claim ignorance? That wouldmake them nothing more than giant babies!"
After hearing Mr. Jetts' sarcastic words, Mrs. Gamble almost faintedfrom anger. She was used being treated like royalty among other highsociety ladies, but nobody ever dared talk down upon her like thisbefore.
But, the police did not give them any more time. They signaled theirmen behind them, and they went ahead arresting Christian. Christiancouldn't help struggling as they came closer, "Harold, save me, saveme!" But no matter how much he struggled, it was useless againstseveral policemen who quickly apprehended him. He even gothandcuffed too!
Old Mrs. Gamble watched in heartbreak as her beloved grandson wastaken away by the police. She was nearly fainting and shouted withgreat emotion, "What gives you the right to arrest him? Let me tell you,the Gamble family is not one to be messed with. If you want to take himaway, you'll have to step over me first."
She stood in front of several police officers with her cane, ready for ashowdown.
