Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Divorce

At a construction site in Los Angeles.

Gerald Kenneth looked a little embarrassed. He was wearing a vest, revealing his skin that was a little tanned, and his strong muscles. He was carrying around five bags of cement on his shoulder.

It was his mission this morning. He could get paid 64 dollars if he moved the whole truckload of cement from the construction site’s gate to the designated spot.

Beside him was a hot short–haired woman. She was gesticulating with her hands and explaining something to him

patiently.

“Mr. Kenneth, please believe me. I am not a liar. You are indeed the ace of our mysterious army ‘Night Watch‘. You are our strongest weapon. Three years ago, you disappeared on a special mission. Now it seems that you were badly injured on that mission and that you have lost your memory, so you remember nothing.”

Gerald looked relaxed as he carried the cement, which was about 440 pounds. He stopped and glanced at the woman. “Don’t keep me from my work, OK?”

The woman was right. Gerald only had three years of memory. He could not remember anything before that.

The mysterious woman was stunned. Looking at Gerald, who was carrying cement, she felt that her nose was a little sour. Gerald used to be famous in the world and was known as the strongest combat force of Night Watch. Someone called him Slaughterer. And now, he was a worker at some construction site!

“Mr. Kenneth, as long as you come back with me, we will find a way to help you remember everything. And you have to work here. You will have countless wealth…”

Gerald didn’t bother talking to her. He got back to work!

don’t

The beautiful woman pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. “Mr. Kenneth, think about it again. I will come here again

tomorrow!”

Ignoring the beautiful woman, Gerald moved the cement to the designated place and threw it on the ground. Countless dust splashed and fell on his body, making him look even dirtier.

Yet he was long used to it. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and planned to continue walking toward the door. Meanwhile, a car stopped not far away. A middle–aged woman in gorgeous clothes got out of the car and walked towards him. She wore a mask and walked carefully with every step as if she was afraid of dirtying her black shoes!

“Mom!” Seeing her, Gerald was somehow nervous.

It was his mother–in–law, Mary Bennett!

“I’m not your mom!” Mary looked at the dirty Gerald with disgust and then took out a document from her bag. “This is your divorce agreement with Irene. Sign it now!”

Gerald’s expression changed slightly. “Why… Why?”

When he lost his memory, he was saved by Shelton Everett, Irene Everett’s father, Mary’s husband. Under Shelton’s direction, he married Irene. Yet three months after their marriage, Shelton passed away.

For the past three years, Mary and Irene looked down upon Gerald all the time!

They had no jobs and relied on Gerald to work and earn money at the construction site, yet they still had a lot of dissatisfaction with him and felt that he was a loser.

“Why? No reason. You can’t offer us the life we want. Tell me, what else do you have besides brute force?” Mary rolled

her eyes at Gerald and said. “Irene’s new boyfriend is rich. See my bag? It’s worth 5,000 dollars! It’s from my new son–in–law. And he is going to send a BMW to Irene today. What about you? How much money do you get from being dirty every day? We can’t even buy a more expensive bag…”

Anger rose in Gerald’s heart. Over the past three years, he had worked hard and given every penny he earned to Mary and Irene, but… They still despised him! In three years of marriage, he had not even touched Irene’s finger once.

“Cut the crap and sign it!” Mary sneered. “After that, we are done with you. I have packed your things and sent them to the security booth at the gate of the construction site. You can get them yourself!”

“I have given you all my money. I don’t have any money on me now. And you’re kicking me out now?” Gerald pulled a long face.

“That house is ours. You are not allowed to live there after the divorce,” Mary said with disgust.

Gerald gritted his teeth and said, “But I put a down payment on the house with the money I earned!”
