Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 A Storm Is Brewing

“Remember my name. My name is Dave!” Dave patted Gerald on the shoulder as he wore a

half–smile on his face.

Dave’s eyes were full of threat and coldness.

Leana sneered and said, “Dave, don’t take yourself too seriously!”

Dave smiled at her and said, “I have told my parents that I will go to your place tomorrow to propose marriage.”

“My grandfather will say no!” Leana gnashed her teeth and said.

Dave was not angry. He glanced coldly at Gerald and took the number. Then he walked to a place far away from Gerald and sat down. After sitting down, he asked Riley, “What is Gerald’s background?”

“It was said that Gerald got to know Ingrid through Daphne in Sacramento. As for how he knew Daphne, I am not clear,” Riley said, “I have investigated him. He had drawn some attention in Sacramento previously. He was a collateral member of the Kenneth family in Sacramento who was framed by Holden and therefore put to jail for nine years. After that, Leandro took him out. From then on, he became a pawn for Leandro to deal with the Kenneth family.”

“Is he working at Leandro’s place?” Dave asked.

“Yeah. He is Leandro’s assistant or something. I was going to teach him a lesson in Sacramento. He was the one who caused the chaos on the Internet. This guy is a fucking heavy drinker. I can’t even

win against him,” Riley scolded.

At this time, a surprised expression appeared on Dave’s face.

“While I have no idea about what happened after he came to Washington. I don’t know how he met Leana,” Riley said. “But this boy is good at hooking up with girls. From Daphne to Ingrid, now even

Leana has invited him to dinner.”

Dave couldn’t help but put on a gloomy face. He snorted coldly and said, “I got it!”

“Is he rich?” Dave asked.

“He probably doesn’t have much money on his own, but he might have gotten a lot of benefits from

following Leandro,” Riley explained.

Dave touched his chin. After a while, he said, “Okay, since he is in Washington, let me play a good host!”

Although Gerald was far away from them, he caught what they said clearly. At the same time, Gerald saw that Valery, who was not far away, slightly said something. Along with Valery’s slightly cold voice, he heard, “Good at hooking up with girls? Gerald, good for you!”

Gerald paused. But at the moment, he was sitting beside Ingrid and Leana. So he could not explain anything. He could only smile bitterly right on the spot!

“No. 067, please come in for the meal!” At this time, a broadcast voice suddenly rang in their ears.

Ingrid looked at the number ticket in her hand and said, “It’s our turn. Let’s go!”

Gerald nodded and smiled at Valery. Then he followed Ingrid into the restaurant.

Just as they walked in, a figure walked over from the side of the road. He took the number ticket and said calmly, “Boss, they have gotten into Harmony Restaurant!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down in the seat that Gerald had just sat in!

What he did not know was that in front of them, Valery and Carolyn had heard what he said. Both of them curled the corners of their lips into smiles.

At the same time, Gerald and the other two were taken to the third floor of the restaurant. After being taken to a seat by the waiter, Ingrid said, “I want the most expensive one.”

Leana smiled and said, “I have to drive, so I am not going to drink. If you guys want it, you can have

some.”

“I still have to go to work in the afternoon. Not this time!” Ingrid said with a smile.

After ordering, Gerald turned to Ingrid and said, “Is Dave one of the Thornton family?”

“Well, one of the successors of the Thornton family,” Ingrid said. “Putting aside his character, he

is quite capable. Now he has taken over a lot of business of Kiloud Group. Among the third generation of the Thornton family, no one can be his match.”

“What’s wrong with his character?” Gerald asked.

“Well…” Ingrid blushed slightly and said, “He’s a super playboy. That almost everyone in Washington knows it. But because he can’t get along with my brother, he is not in our circle.”

“No wonder Mr. Jackson doesn’t want Leana to be with him,” Gerald ridiculed.

“He’s not my cup of tea! Even if he is not a playboy!” Leana coldly snorted, “I don’t like people who are less smart than me!”

Ingrid said happily, “That’s why you invited Gerald to dinner because Gerald is smarter than you, right?”
