1137 Do You Dare to Make a Bet

“Mr.

Gray, Im really sorry.

My mother is very stubborn, especially when it comes to her designs.

She refuses to allow anyone to make even minor changes.

Please forgive her if shes offended you in any way,” Paul said to Lucas apologetically.

Lucas said with a smile, “No, not at all.

Professor Crawford is a talented person who is serious and passionate about her work.

Its my honor to have her help me with the design and planning of Stardust City.

How could I possibly blame her”

“Thank you for your understanding.” Paul sighed and shook his head.

“Speaking of which, Ive really underestimated my mothers persistence.

I thought that I could persuade her to stay at home to recuperate and visit the construction site once every few days.

But given her temperament, Im afraid she wont listen to me at all.”

Lucas agreed.

More than half an hour had passed from the moment Flynn received Pauls call for help to when the two of them arrived at the hospital.

During this half an hour or so, Paul had been trying to convince his mother, but his efforts were obviously futile.

Since even Gemmas own son couldnt persuade her, Lucas naturally didnt think thatoutsiders like him and Flynn could convince her.

After thinking about it, Paul sighed again and said, “Since I cant persuade her to stay at home, Ill just follow her wishes and let her go to the construction site to inspect.

However, Mr.

Gray, I hope that you can send more people to protect my mother from any further mishaps.

“After all, my mother is already advanced in years, and she has a weak heart.

In case she gets agitated and collapses again, we dont know if shell be so lucky next time and be rescued in time.”

Lucas could sense Pauls concern for Gemma.

So he said, “In that case, I will send more and stronger people to protect Professor Crawford.

The same thing wont happen again.

Dont worry!”

“Okay, Ill have to trouble you then, Mr.

Gray,” Paul said to Lucas gratefully.

In the end, under Gemmas strong insistence, Paul had no choice but to help her get discharged in advance.

But after being discharged from the hospital, Gemma headed straight to the construction site of Stardust City in the eastern suburbs of DC without even going back home.

It left Paul, Lucas, and the others feeling helpless.

Lucas and Flynn also rushed to the construction site and dispatched the new head of security of the Stardust Corporation to arrange enough manpower to protect Gemma.

After arranging everything, Lucas instructed Flynn, “Keep a close eye on this matter.

No matter what, we must protect Professor Crawford well this time and prevent any mishaps from happening again.

“Also, instruct the construction department to carry out all construction in strict accordance with Professor Crawfords design drawings.”

“Okay, Lucas!” Flynn also agreed immediately.

“Hey, youre here too!”

While Lucas and Flynn were talking, a clear and crisp female voice suddenly came from the side.

The two of them turned around and saw Leila, Gemmas granddaughter, walking toward them.

It turned out that Leila was worried about her grandmother coming to the construction site, so she tagged along.

After looking at Gemma giving instructions on the construction site, as well as the people around her, she said, “It seems you didnt go back on your word this time, and youve really arranged for bodyguards to protect my grandmother.

Hmm… there are six bodyguards around.

Theyre quite attentive about my grandmother.”

Lucas said with a smile, “In fact, we are even more attentive than you think.

We have arranged more than six bodyguards for Professor Crawford, and many of them are hiding in stealth.

You just havent discovered them.”

Hearing this, Leila immediately became very interested.

She scanned the surroundings and asked doubtfully, “Really But I only see six bodyguards.

Where are the others”

Her action revealed some childishness, which was much better than her feistiness when she threw a fit at Lucas in the hospital yesterday.

Lucas chuckles.

“Since they are bodyguards hiding in the shadows, they naturally wont let you find them.”

Leila frowned.

“Dont underestimate me! Isnt it just the other bodyguards hiding in the crowd You have to agree to a request of mine if I can find all of them.

Do you dare to accept the challenge”

Flynn smiled.

“Leila, Professor Crawford seems to be calling you.

I dont know what its about.

Why dont we go over to take a look”

Leila ignored Flynn and instead stared at Lucas with a gleaming gaze.

“Do you dare to bet with me”

Seeing Leilas rare and childish side, Lucas laughed and nodded.

“Why not I can make the conditions simpler too.

Ive arranged twenty-three bodyguards to guard Professor Crawford in secret.

If you can find one, you win.”

The bodyguards Lucas had arranged on the construction site were all experts Joe had brought from Orange County.

Although their skills were not comparable to the top experts of some powerful families, they were definitely not weak.

It was likely impossible for a young lady like Leila to find all these bodyguards among the thousands of people at the construction site.

“Alright, Ill hold you to your word!” Leila winked with a triumphant smile and left to look for the bodyguards.

Just as she walked away, Flynn sighed and said to Lucas, “Lucas, it seems youre going to lose this bet.”

“Oh, is that so Why do you say so” Lucas looked at Flynn in slight surprise.

Flynn smiled wryly.

“I know Leila.

She comes from a family of intellectuals.

Shes a star student of Georgetown University herself, and shes all but guaranteed a PhD.

Her IQ is quite high.

“Furthermore, she has excellent observation skills.

She can often make many accurate conjectures just with some tiny clues.

Shes even helped the police crack some major cases before!

“Her observation and reasoning abilities are quite strong, so I think shell definitely find Joes subordinates.

Besides, you said that she only needs to find one of them to win, so I think shes probably won by now.”

Hearing this, even Lucas showed a look of surprise.

He didnt expect that the girl who had yelled at him in the hospital and behaved childishly just now would have such amazing abilities.

“Since you knew about it, why didnt you remind me” Lucas asked, feigning resentment.

Flynn said innocently, “When Leila made the bet just now, I tried to interrupt her by changing the subject, but unfortunately, it didnt work.

Then you agreed to it…”

Lucas immediately remembered Flynn interrupting them by saying that Gemma had something to say to Leila and laughed.

“It seems I was indeed negligent!”
