Chapter 171 Abraham Lam
Looking at the check in her hand and then at Gerald’s back, Catherine was astonished.
All people in the company had no idea how to deal with the debt, but Gerald settled the problem so
easily,
which made her stunned.
It was the first deal that she had made since she came to the Wisdom Group. And it was such a big deal.
The commission was 200 thousand dollars. Even if she gave Gerald half of the commission, she could
get
100 thousand dollars.
The problem in her family could be solved.
Thinking about how Jeff treated Gerald in the morning, and how polite Kerr was to Gerald just now, she
felt curious about Gerald’s background.
She hurried to take a taxi to the company.
Half an hour later, she returned to the company with the check.
In Sales Team Two, Nick and the other colleagues were stunned when they saw her. One colleague went
over
and asked, “Where is Gerald?”
Nick sneered and said, “Where can he be? He must be in the hospital now. I told him not to go there, but
he insisted on doing so!”
Hearing what they said, Catherine shook her head and said, “Gerald has other things to do. I got the
money.
This is a check.”
“What?”
Suddenly, all her colleagues looked at her. Nick asked in a daze, “What did you say? You got the
money?”
Catherine nodded and said, “It was Gerald who negotiated with them. I didn’t say anything…”
“You said… you took back the money?” Nick said in shock.
Just now, he was complaining that Gerald was reckless, but now… Catherine told him that she took back
the
money.
“Yes, this is the check!” Catherine handed the check over.
Nick rushed to take it and looked at it. Then, he sat down on the chair in surprise. The office also fell into
silence.

Gerald didn’t know what happened in the company. He called Carolyn and then took her to Abraham’s
residence.
It was Gerald who drove the car. After all, Kerr had drunk alcohol.
Gerald had been to Abraham’s residence once, but he had not come into contact with other members of
the
Lam family.
Abraham lived in a country mansion. The courtyard was very large. In Washington, the value of this
country
mansion was at least several hundred million dollars.
Kerr called Abraham in advance and said that he would come home with Gerald and Carolyn. Abraham
was
very happy. He asked all the housekeepers to leave and only kept two chefs.
When Gerald arrived, Abraham was leaning on a cane. A twenty–seven–year–old woman stood beside
him. She
was Stacey Lam, Abraham’s granddaughter, and Kerr’s sister.
Seeing Gerald coming over, Abraham was very excited. He didn’t shake hands with Gerald. Instead, he
pointed his cane at Kerr and scolded, “You dare to come back! You even dare to speak rudely to Gerald.
I
must teach you a lesson!”
Kerr got nervous and tried to run away. He said, “Stacey, help me.”
Stacey glared at him and said, “You deserve it!”
“Gerald!” Kerr hid beside Gerald.
“Mr. Lam, never mind.” Gerald said, “Kerr didn’t know me. After you told him, he was very polite to me.”
“He has been spoiled by his parents and has been causing trouble outside every day. Gerald, don’t help
him.”
Abraham glared at Kerr and said, “He still smelled of alcohol. It’s noon and he went out to drink again.
Today,
not only will I break your legs, but I will also break your bank card.”
When Kerr heard Abraham’s words, he felt scared.
Gerald tried to stop Abraham and said, “Mr. Lam, he helped me a lot. I was asked to take a sum of
money
back for my company. Without Kerr, I can’t make it.”
Hearing Gerald’s words, Abraham glared at Kerr and scolded, “For Gerald’s sake, I will spare you this
time. Get
out of the room. I have something to talk about with Gerald.”
“Okay, I’m going away right now.” Kerr rushed to his room.
“Kerr has been spoiled.” Abraham scolded.
Gerald didn’t think so.
Kerr was not a bad guy. At least he was filial.
“Let’s go in and talk!” Abraham looked at Gerald and said, “It has been years since you come to see me
last
time.”
“Something happened. In the past three years, Carolyn and I had been in trouble. It involves the secret
of Night Watch. It’s not convenient to explain it to you,” Gerald said.
Abraham didn’t ask about it. He said, “Why did you work for the Wisdom Group? If you need an identity
for a
mission, you can come to New Bank, where you don’t have to go to work.”
Gerald shook his head and said, “It was Dr. Manning who arranged for me to do this job. I guess I can
use
this job to know those people or things related to my tasks.”
Although Valery didn’t make it clear, Gerald thought that Valery must have her consideration.
“Alright!” Abraham walked to a hall and sat down. He said, “By the way, when Dr. Manning came to
check my body, she said that you were married.”
Stacey also looked at Gerald curiously.
Gerald was surprised and said, “Why did she tell you about this?”
“Last month, she came to Washington for a mission. So she came to check my body.” Abraham said,
“She
just mentioned that you were bullied by your mother–in–law.”
Gerald didn’t know what to say.
“I lost my memory in the past three years. It was an accident to get married.” Gerald said, “But I’m
divorced
now.”
Abraham and Stacey were excited to hear that. Abraham said, “It’s good that you’re divorced.”
Gerald was confused.
Then, Abraham said, “Stacey has been waiting for you. Why don’t you marry Stacey?”
Stacey blushed slightly, but she didn’t speak.
She sat next to Abraham and didn’t speak much. She seemed to be very quiet.

“I’m not joking. I like you. I want to marry my granddaughter to you. There is nothing to be embarrassed
about,” Abraham said, stamping his cane.
Then he looked at Carolyn and said, “Carolyn, why don’t you consider Kerr? Although he is a little
naughty, he is not a bad guy!”
Gerald was holding a cup of coffee and was ready to take a sip. Hearing this, he almost choked.
Stacey said, “Grandpa, don’t talk nonsense. Otherwise, Gerald and Carolyn will be scared away!”
“Alright!” Abraham smiled and continued to chat with them.
During the conversation, Gerald found that Abraham seemed to be not very healthy. After he said a few
words, he would cough.
After chatting for a while, they stopped talking immediately when they heard the sound of footsteps
outside.
Then, a young man in a suit walked in. He was carrying a medicine chest. When he saw Carolyn and
Gerald, He was slightly stunned.
Stacey said, “This is Chad Kempton, Abraham’s physiotherapy doctor.”
Then she said to Chad, “This is Gerald and Carolyn. They are my friends.”
“Nice to meet you.” Chad seemed to be indifferent. Then he said, “Let’s begin today’s physiotherapy.”
Chad didn’t seem to have much to say. He walked up to Abraham and put down the medicine chest.
Abraham frowned and glanced at Chad. Then he said to Gerald, “Gerald, what I said is true. Stacey likes
you. I also like you. You should consider it.”
Hearing Abraham’s words, Chad glanced at Stacey and then looked at Gerald. There was a cold light in
his
eyes for a moment.
Chad didn’t express his emotions. He helped Abraham up and made Abraham lie down on the sofa. He
began to give Abraham a full–body massage.
Stacey smiled bitterly. She looked at Gerald and said, “Don’t mind what my grandpa said. Chad has been
chasing me. Abraham doesn’t like him. Just now, he just wanted to annoy Chad. But Chad is a great
doctor and very famous in Washington.”
Gerald and Carolyn were speechless. He looked at Chad.
After a moment, he frowned. He looked at Stacey and asked, “Stacey, when did Abraham start
coughing?”
“About half a month ago.” Stacey said, “After Dr. Manning checked Abraham’s body, she said that he
needed a physiotherapy doctor. Then we found Chad. Every time Chad came, Abraham would be in
stable condition. But after several days, he would start coughing again…”
Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked at Chad. Then, he got up and walked over, grabbing Chad’s
shoulder.
