The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 76

-What are you doing here? – Gerard’s question comes out between clenched teeth and in an icy tone, which makes Georgia tremble to the girdle —

-Come to the engagement party…

– You didn’t get an invitation.

“But I do and Darcy is my escort,” Georgia says.

-Then the two of them are going, now,

“You don’t want a scandal at your engagement party,” Darcy tells her, pointing with his mouth at the few guests who are showing up.

Gerard goes to say something, but Luz touches his arm and he takes it back, she shakes her head, takes his hand and pulls him.

-Let them see that we are in love and that not even they can do anything to make us bitter.

She gives her fiancé a soft kiss on the lips and they return to the party, but they don’t even look at them. Luz is careful not to leave Charlize alone at any time, because the truth is that nothing the witches say or do will be good, especially against her princess. “I thought you vetoed it,” Dan tells her, watching Darcy play nice with some of the guests.

-He’s here only because of my mother and because Luz didn’t let me run them. Maybe it’s a good idea after all, so they stop thinking that what I have with my beautiful wife is going to end.

Dan’s phone rings and he apologizes as the happy couple chats with some guests.

-Gerard told us that he wants to study law – Abraham tells him -,

-Yes, he was supposed to help me, but he only leaves reading assignments. The funny thing is that he is a very bad teacher-Gerard pretends to be offended and everyone laughs-. He is not able to correct my mistakes. I believed that, like the Latin system, our judicial system was based on the Roman…

“But that’s not like that,” James tells him.

“It’s not like that,” she replies. It turns out that our judicial system is based on English, which in turn is derived from other systems. The Roman influence was present until the 5th century, after that England was invaded by barbarian tribes and from there another system was formed.

“And me wanting to go to Rome, precisely for that reason.

-Then I take you to England and you forgive me for not wanting to correct my beautiful wife.

Everyone laughs, which draws Darcy’s attention, who drinks annoyed. She needs to find a way for Luz to find out what she already knows, that will surely make her run away from her and give her the option to get rid of both of her hindrances.

She sees Dan arrive, who whispers something to Gerard, he apologizes and they leave the room passing close to her, she only manages to hear “tell Luz” and that leads her to follow them.

He excuses himself to go to the bathroom, but heads to Gerard’s office, looks around and puts his ear to the door. She does not hear perfectly, but some of her words make her deduce that they are talking about the dead fly.

He leaves there, to find a way for Luz to go to the office, or listen to the conversation, whatever. While in the office, Gerard is happy because only a few pieces of evidence are missing to disrupt all of Bowman’s operations, Rickon has sang like a bird and best of all, he himself begged to be taken to the police, because Alpha’s men intimidated him. so much so that he preferred to feel more protected .

Dan negotiated a deal with the prosecutor, now he’s the one who’s taking care of the rat, the complaint for repeated violations is already under investigation, the distribution of the drug too, and all without the damn Bowman knowing about it. “This is… magnificent,” Gerard says with some regret. Though it looks like I won’t get married. -You will, I assure you. Gerard takes off the mask and looks at her with a thousand mixed feelings. Dan encourages her and takes a deep breath.

We are finally going to end all of this.

-Papers?

-In my safe, as soon as all this becomes a troubled river, your children and your wife are insured.

-You are clear that the buffet…

-Yes, I will take care of him like a treasure, he is our baby, nothing will happen to him.

-Well – they stare at the mask, not realizing that the door opens, until a muffled cry catches their attention – Arriving at the room, Darcy heard Luz say that she would go for Gerard, the perfect opportunity to help him discover that truth.

– I saw them go into the office – he said kindly, Luz only nodded and thanked him – Luz now walks towards the office, raises her hand to knock, but regrets it. She just turns the knob and opens the door, but nothing prepared her for what she has in front of her eyes. She stifles a scream, drawing the attention of the men and chaos breaks out at once in that house. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
