NovelEnglishChapter 719 The two women were shocked into silence. Mrs. Gamble's face was pale, as if she had been slapped countless times by Harold himself.
She stared at Christian in disbelief. "Christian, is everything your brother said true? If this MI6 energy partnership falls through...
you won't just get a slap from your brother, you'll be sitting behind bars!" Both old Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Gamble looked disappointed in Christian. He was the youngest son of the family and always spoiled by everyone, unlike his older brother who ran things for the Gamble family.

Christian clenched his fists so tightly that he almost broke his own fingers. He couldn't speak; he never thought Chaz would do something like this.
In the end, it hurt not only him but also his brother and their entire family.
He just wanted to make some money - he thought there was no use keeping that Trojan horse on his computer all day long when it could be exchanged for cash instead...
It was that simple.
Even though they pampered him so much, even the old Mrs. Gamble couldn't help but get angry at him now; she picked up her cane and hit Christian with it hard. "What's wrong with you? Tell me! Why did you do such a thing? Are you stupid?" What did they rely on to have their current status as part of the Gamble family? Wasn't it because Harold knew Chad? But before Christian could finish speaking, there suddenly came a loud noise from outside, mixed with urgent footsteps from their butler along with other voices. "Excuse us! What are you doing here? Let me inform Mr. 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 were coming from. He saw Raul sitting on the ground looking disheveled and hurt; he then quickly went over to help him up and asked, "Raul, are you alright?" "I'm fine." Harold turned around angrily towards these policemen who had barged into their home without any warning or permission whatsoever! "What do you want?" Harold demanded an answer while one police captain showed them an arrest warrant against Christian for hacking into computer systems illegally! "Mr. Gamble," The captain spoke directly towards Harold. "I'm sorry we have 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... | don't want to go to jail. Please save me!" Even though old Mrs. Gamble was furious, she had no choice but to care about her grandson. "Mr. Jett, my Christian is just a child who didn't understand the severity of the situation and had no ill intentions when he sold that Trojan horse to Chaz." "Can't we work something out? Considering all that my family has done for you in the past, can you let Christian go?" "Old Mrs. Gamble, everyone is equal before the law," Mr. Jett said sternly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarold didn't expect Mr. Jett to be so harsh either; he took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm as he spoke up, "Mr.
Jett, we have always been on good terms with each other; while it's true that Christian made a mistake here today, but does it really warrant an arrest?" "Don't blame me for not helping you on this matter,” Mr. Jett replied coldly. "If both Chaz and Tucker were caught except him, it would make people suspicious of the fair legal treatment.” Mrs. Gamble quickly pulled out a bank card from her purse and handed it over with an apologetic expression. "Mr. Jett, please let Christian go considering our long-standing friendship between our two families; he's still 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 her mockingly, "Young age? Is this really about being young or ignorant? This is clearly breaking the law! Besides, he's already an adult man now. How can someone like that still claim ignorance? That would make them nothing more than giant babies!" After hearing Mr. Jetts' sarcastic words, Mrs. Gamble almost fainted from anger. She was used being treated like royalty among other high society ladies, but nobody ever dared talk down upon her like this before.
But, the police did not give them any more time. They signaled their men behind them, and they went ahead arresting Christian.
Christian couldn't help struggling as they came closer, "Harold, save me, save me!" But no matter how much he struggled, it was useless against several policemen who quickly apprehended him. He even got handcuffed too! Old Mrs. Gamble watched in heartbreak as her beloved grandson was taken away by the police. She was nearly fainting and shouted with great 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 him away, you'll have to step over me first." She stood in front of several police officers with her cane, ready for a showdown.
