Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Unlucky

Matthew left the banquet hall. When he left, his face and neck were so red.

He did not dare to disobey Bradley. If he continued to stay here shamelessly, it would only make him more

embarrassed.

When he left, Bradley smiled and said happily, “Let’s continue, everyone. I’m gonna go first as I will not disturb you young people to enjoy yourselves. I will come back and announce something later.”

As he spoke, he looked at Gerald, who had sat down not far away and continued to eat. Then he walked out. Audrey

also stayed.

When he left, the banquet hall returned to liveliness. Audrey was instantly surrounded by a few young people.

Everyone began to talk about their own matters. Of course, they would also talk about Matthew and Gerald!

They seemed to have regained poise. Of course, there were two exceptions.

Irene frowned slightly.

She had been watching from the side. She wanted to see Gerald make a fool of himself. From beginning to end, Matthew was constantly exposing Gerald’s shortcomings, but Gerald’s expression had always been very calm.

In the past, whenever they humiliated Gerald, Gerald would always show a sullen or aggrieved look.

“Something is wrong!” Looking at Gerald, who was sitting not far away, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong?” Adriel looked at Irene and asked.

“Nothing.” Irene shook her head.

Adriel chuckled and said, “I’ve brought you to such a high–end place already. Just sleep with me tonight.”

“Alas,” Irene said coquettishly. “I’ll take a few more photos and post them on my Timeline. I guess my friends will be so envious. Thank you, darling. As for anything else, let’s talk about it later!”

The other one who was still a little strange was Keira.

She was still sitting next to Gerald. Looking at Gerald, who was eating the third portion of food, Keira became more

and more curious.

“He’s really mysterious.” The corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

“How long will this banquet last? It’s too boring. I’m full,” Gerald said.

“When Mr. Herman comes to announce something, it should be over!” Keira leaned against the sofa and smiled sweetly, “Alas, this is the most relaxing banquet for me. Speaking of it, if there is such a dinner party next time, I’ll have to ask you for help!”

Gerald nodded. “No problem. There is good food and drinks. It’s worth it!”

As they talked, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again. Bradley walked into the banquet hall, and there was a microphone in his hand.

“Everyone,” he said. “Everyone here is a genius of Los Angeles‘ younger generation. This time, I have gathered you together. Other than providing everyone a chance to communicate, I have another matter to announce.”

Everyone looked at him. He smiled slightly and his gaze landed on Audrey, who was not far away. “That is my daughter Audrey’s marriage!”

“What?” Everyone was stunned.

“My daughter is already 25 years old and has always been single. As a father, I am anxious. Therefore, there is another thing. I hope that everyone will chase after my daughter boldly if you like her. I will definitely not interfere… I…” Bradley had not finished speaking yet!

A petite figure instantly passed through the crowd and snatched the microphone over. “Dad… Don’t talk nonsense!”

“She’s shy! Shy!” Bradley said happily. “What I said just now definitely counts…”

Audrey’s face suddenly turned red.

Not far away, Gerald was shocked and thought, you’re her father! What are you doing?

“Hehe.” Keira covered her mouth and chuckled. “Mr. Herman is very humorous. However, when he is really fierce, everyone is afraid of him, especially when it comes to business. He is decisive and ruthless. This is also why Matthew was afraid of him just now.”

Gerald smiled. After this farce, the party was close to the end. Gradually, people began to leave.

After half of the people left, Keira also stood up and said, “Let’s go too!”

When they arrived at the door, Keira greeted Bradley. Bradley looked at Gerald and then pursed his lips without saying

anything.

The two of them left the banquet hall smoothly and arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Keira said with a smile, “Where are you going? I’ll drive you there.”

“You can leave first. I still have some things to do. I can just take a taxi,” Gerald said.

Keira did not ask more. She nodded and said, “Okay, thank you for today. If you need anything, just call me.”

Gerald nodded. When Keira left, Gerald arrived at the entrance of the hotel and planned to take a taxi to leave. At this time, a middle–aged man quickly caught up and said, “Mr. Kenneth.”

The man was a middle–aged man in a suit. He introduced himself and said, “I am the secretary of Mr. Herman. This is the business card of Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman asked me to remind you that no matter what, you must call him.”

Gerald calmly took the business card, nodded, and said, “Okay, I got it.”

Then he stopped a taxi and got into the car.

He did not go straight back to Cherry Garden but rushed to Trevon’s house.

Some of his things were still at Trevon’s house.

The most important thing was naturally that iron box!

Three years ago, for this iron box, three Watchmen in the top ten of Night Watch almost died, including him, who was

once Watchman No. 0.

As for what was inside the iron box, he did not know. He had only taken the mission, and no one told him what it was.
