Slumdog billionaire husband novel (Gerald Kenneth) novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 One Month

Mason felt a little helpless and was amused.

In the years when Gerald was imprisoned, Mason was almost at the end of his rope. If Gerald hadn’t made al name for himself in Night Watch and taken down Universe Group and given Mason a job, Mason would have had a really tough time.

Apart from Yazmin’s family, all his friends left him.

Mason used to think that Manuel and Kirk were his good friends. But when he was at his bottom, they became estranged from him. When Mason was short on money and tried to borrow some cash from them, all of them turned him down.

Seeing that Gerald became famous and powerful now, they came to knock on his door, claiming that they were good friends before and that it was just a small thing for Gerald to give the green light to their kids’ enrollment.

Mason didn’t want to be stingy. These men used to be his good friends. At least in his heart, Mason always believed so. Although it was an unhappy time when they turned Mason down, Mason still wanted to see their friendships come back.

But their words made Mason frown.

Gerald noticed the change in Mason’s expression. He rubbed his chin, then looked at Manuel and Kirk and said, “You said that you are my father’s good friends. But I heard that when I was in jail, my father had been through a quite difficult time after he left the Kenneth family. You two alienated him and turned him down when he came to you for help.”

Manuel and Kirk were stunned.

Manuel revealed an awkward expression and said, “We dared not to go against the Kenneth family. We are too small to offend that family. If the Kenneth family targeted us, we would be doomed!”

“But my mother’s family have always been in contact with us, and nothing had happened to them so far,” Gerald said as he waved his hand. “It’s okay if you want to reconnect with my father. He did not have many friends. It’s lucky enough for him that he wasn’t betrayed by his so-called friends.

“As for you want your children to join the Night Watch, that’s not my call. We have rules to recruit Watchmen and to be honest, it’s not difficult to get in if they are clean. Since they were rejected by Night Watch, it only meant that things were serious about what they had done. Moreover, don’t think that you will get rich after you become a Watchman. I earned my properties by accomplishing missions. Some rich clients would give me their shares after I finished the escort job. And some properties I earned belonged to the Night Watch before, but I exchanged them with my feat. In other words, I earned everything I have by dancing on the razor’s edge every day,” Gerald said calmly.

Manuel frowned. He looked at Mason beside him and said, “Mason, your son is really something. Is he lecturing us now?”

Mason wanted to say something, but Gerald glanced at the two and said, “If so, Manuel, I’m afraid you have

to get out of here.”

right.” Mason felt great when he saw them being talked back by Gerald and he said with a smile,

“What Gerald said makes sense. It is not for him to decide. Let’s get downstairs to have lunch.”

“No need.” Manuel snorted and said, “He wants to chase me out. Why should I stay? Kirk, let’s go!”

After that, he turned and left.

Mason saw them leave and sighed, “Some people will leave you in the end.”

“Don’t sigh, dad. You don’t have to make friends with people like them. He thought that we would ask them to stay if he left. Seriously, I don’t give a shit about them.” Gerald curled his lips and said, “Dad, you are still young. You should make more friends with your colleagues in the company. Or you can take walks around this neighborhood to meet some new people.”

Mason laughed out loud. “Don’t worry. I’m not upset. I’ve seen through it after all these years.”

Gerald stayed in Sacramento for a while. During this period of time, everything seemed peaceful and smooth. Occasionally, he would hear some news of Elite Ghost landing, but most of them would land in the North. They left their tracks all over the world, including Sacramento. They had landed here twice. But now, Sacramento was different. This place was full of experts now.

Not to mention the Night Watch squad, just the more than 1,600 people coming from Sin City would be able to put down every ordinary Elite Ghost in Sacramento.

These people from Sin City had slowly integrated into society. They had also opened several martial arts clubs in Sacramento and allocated shares according to each person’s strength. Gerald had a stack of twenty percent in the martial arts club.

Now that there had been an atmosphere of martial-artist-learning in this city, the business of the martial arts club was extremely good. Gerald and Valery had arranged some jobs for these people, and gradually, they successfully settled in Sacramento.

They were used to punching their way out when they were in Sin City. In this peaceful society, they cherished their lives very much. What’s more, Scar was still here and had been keeping an eye on them, so they dared not to mess around and had quite an easy life.
