Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 The Competition

A sickbed showed itself from the ICU of Sacramento General Hospital, on which was Henley.

Corbin was accompanying Henley, who looked grieved and desperate.

Beside Corbin was Henley’s mother. She was a middle-aged woman whose eyes had been red and swollen for

cry.

They followed Henley’s sickbed until it reached the ward.

After days of treatment, Henley finally came out of the ICU and could be transferred to an ordinary ward.

After a while, when they were settled down, Henley opened his eyes and saw Corbin and the middle-aged

woman. He looked at them and asked weakly, “Mom, Dad… What happened?”

Corbin sighed and then answered, “Henley, our family is finished!”

“What?” Henley, who had just recovered from the fatal injury, felt like being hit again.

“The other party is not willing to support us anymore. We lose the source of capital, and the banks keep

urging us to pay the debts, and so do many shareholders,” said Corbin with a tired expression, “We may go

bankrupt within a month under such a situation.”

“How is it possible? How is it possible?” Henley felt his brain was going to explode.

Henley was the top among those from wealthy families. However, by that moment, he was just awake from a

great injury and was told his family was going to be bankrupt.

He had just woken up from the great injury and didn’t make the time to check about his car accident, not to

say revenge on the one who caused the car accident.

Bankruptcy meant that he would become a poor man, and the people he had offended would take revenge on

him crazily.

And he would never get Doreen.

Henley was going to break under the burden of all those thoughts.

“Dad, you must be kidding me!” said Henley, who quickly shook his head.

“I managed to convert some assets into cash. You and your mother should go abroad in the next two days, although your injury has not fully recovered yet…” Corbin said, and his face was covered by endless

exhaustion.

Henley lay on the bed, and his mind was in a mess!

At the same time, a very remote greasy restaurant in Sacramento enjoyed a different atmosphere. It was noisy and lively with many guests there.

A middle-aged man with gloves and a windbreaker was sitting in the middle of the restaurant. A few plates of

dishes were placed in front of him, but he didn’t have anything.

There was a deep scar on his face, and he looked threatening.

He held a pocket watch in his hand. After a while, a man and two women walked over and sat down in front

of him.

“Quite on time!” said the man as he put the pocket watch away, “I thought you have lived in this city for too long and forgotten who you are!”

There was a hint of nervousness on the faces of the three people and they did not dare to say anything!

The middle-aged man looked at the three people and said calmly, “I have received news that Ingrid will leave

Sacramento tomorrow morning. If she returns to Washington, it will be difficult for us to get her. As a result,

you must make a move tonight.”

“But… the Maddox family brings many men who are very good at martial arts with them. And there are many

Watchmen in Sacramento,” said the man, frowning.

“It’s your business,” said the middle-aged man indifferently, “In addition, Watchman No. 0, who is no longer a

Watchman, is also in Sacramento. I met him last night.”

“Did you fight with him?” asked a woman.

“No!” said the middle-aged man embarrassedly, “He went to kill Sean Dempsey yesterday. When I heard Sean

Dempsey, I couldn’t help but run away!”

Three people were speechless.

“Then did you see what he looked like?” Another person asked.

“I didn’t dare to look!” said the middle-aged man as he let out a breath, “You must make sure you are safe

before you make the move. But I don’t think he would do anything. The former Watchman No. 2 was injured

by me. He should be taking care of her!”

“What about you?” asked the man.

“I will leave first for something. If you get Ingrid, take her to Washington overnight. I will give you the address

later!” said the middle-aged man.

Kidnapping Ingrid should have been his task, but… after he knew about Gerald, the middle-aged man decided

to run away first.

Gerald did not know what was happening. Because at the same time, he looked at the man in front of him in shock and said, “The agreed time is seven. I am not late.”

*Then you are the last to arrive,” said a handsome man with a smile, “So many ladies have arrived before you. Don’t you express your apologies? Moreover… Many people are watching my live stream!”
