Chapter 26 Bow to Me
“But I don’t love him.” Doreen looked up at Gerald. When she said that, her beautiful eyes were calm.
Gerald frowned and said, “If you don’t like him, don’t marry him.”
Doreen sighed and shook her head. “I have no other choices. Something was wrong with my family’s company. Coincidentally, Henley’s family could help us, and they requested I marry him. I wanted to refuse but couldn’t.”
Something like that always happened in wealthy families.
Gerald frowned and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”
Doreen shook her head and said, “What can you do to help me? If that hadn’t happened to you, your performance would be good, and you would be valued by the Kenneth family. Then, you could help me.”
Gerald was speechless.
In fact, he had never treated the Zumthor family seriously.
Gerald had the Diamond Card of New Bank. During the six years of being a Watchman, he had terrifying connections. He had many companies inside and outside the country and was backed by the Night Watch.
Although Gerald had not returned to Los Angeles, his parents had been properly taken care of by him.
“Maybe… I can help you.” Gerald touched his nose.
Doreen frowned and said, “Gerald, you know I have few male friends because of my personality. You used to be one. Nine years have passed, so I don’t want to mention what happened back then. My cousin has gotten married, and you have finally come out of prison. Last night, I told Audrey to help you find a job in her company. Be a good person.”
Gerald burst into laughter. Obviously, Doreen didn’t believe he had been wronged.
Gerald twitched his mouth and said, “Is that what you want to say to me?”
Doreen said, “I have said I have few male friends. I haven’t seen you for nine years and want to see you and talk to you
alone. Henley was here yesterday. He would be unhappy if I told you this.”
Gerald was touched. He looked up at Doreen.
Nine years had passed, but Doreen’s personality had not changed. She was still proud and elegant.
Doreen saw Gerald looking at her and blushed.
“Do you want to marry Henley?” Gerald asked again.
Doreen said, “So what if I don’t? I’m engaged. If I don’t marry him, my family will suffer a great loss. They will not
allow me to do that.”
Gerald smiled and said, “I see.”
Doreen frowned and shook her head when she heard Gerald’s words.
She did not think Gerald could do anything. She shook her head and said toward the door, “Audrey, come in.”
Audrey walked in. She said with a smile, “Your chatting is so brief.”
Doreen nodded and stood up. “We have to go back. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Henley knows.”
Gerald thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright. I’ll send you off.”
Audrey went to pay the bill. The three of them walked toward the parking lot.
Suddenly, Gerald raised his eyebrow because he realized someone was following him.
After Audrey and Doreen left, Gerald patted his forehead and said, “I forgot to ask them why they were in Los
Angeles.”
At the same time, two people walked toward him from behind. One of them stepped forward and patted Gerald on the
shoulder.
“What is the matter?” Gerald asked calmly.
The man looked at Gerald and said peacefully, “Mr. McHale wants to see you.”
Mr. McHale? Fletcher?
