Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Negotiation

After parking the car, Gerald got out of the car with Jessica. The tall gate of the Thornton’s house was in front of them, and several people were standing at the gate.

Seeing Gerald and Jessica approaching, they were very polite this time. One of them stepped forward, showed respect to the two, and said, “The Thornton family is already waiting for you inside. Please follow us.”

Gerald was slightly surprised. He did not expect that this time, the other party was so

polite.

And he wasn’t sure if those guys could keep polite after he entered the house.

Gerald didn’t care. He hoped that the Thornton family would take the initiative to find trouble with him. When the time came, it would be best for Dylan to run out and fight

with him.

But Gerald was not very clear about Dylan’s strength. Dylan had been on the super level for many years. Many people thought that Dylan was dead, so he didn’t appear on the current Sun List. It was hard to say how strong he was.

It was still the same building as before. After Gerald was brought to the door, Gerald saw two rows of people. There were about ten of them. Unsurprisingly, these dozen people were of the top level.

“Go in soon. You are wanted inside,” the person who brought Gerald over showed respect again and said.

At that time, Jessica seemed to be a little worried. What happened yesterday left her

with some fear.

Although she was very tough, she knew the dirty tricks of the Thornton family. This time, the Thornton family seemed to have prepared soundly, and she only came with

Gerald,

She subconsciously tugged at the corner of Gerald’s clothes.

Gerald looked at her in shock.

At that time, Jessica felt that it wasn’t proper for her to do that. So she quickly let go, and her face turned slightly flushed.

Although Jessica looked young, she was already an old lady. She revealed the appearance of a girl. Gerald did not expect that.

“Let’s go,” Gerald said. “Don’t worry. With me here, they won’t dare say anything.”

Jessica let out a breath, and then the two walked up the stairs. Gerald pushed open the

door.

In the room, there was a table. On one side of the table, Jared, Edric, Cale, and Vernon

were sitting there.

After seeing Gerald walk in, Cale sneered, “Jessica, what a surprise. How can you find such a young boyfriend?”

Jessica blushed and said, “Cale, don’t talk nonsense. Gerald is just my friend.”

Cale chuckled and said, “Really? Would a friend offend our family for you? That’s right,

a woman like you can only rely on men for the rest of your life. In the past, you relied on

But now you rely on Gerald, this little trash.”

Jessica’s expression changed slightly. Gerald patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Gerald knew what Cale was thinking.

Since it was a negotiation, then from the beginning, Cale wanted to worsen Jessica’s

mentality. When the time came to negotiate, Jessica might not be so active.

Gerald walked to the table and pulled out a chair. After Jessica sat down, he also pulled

out a chair and sat down. His gaze slowly swept over the four people in front of him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Jared’s face. He nodded thoughtfully and said, “As expected, it

hasn’t swollen up in a day. You’re truly on the top level.”

The expressions of Jared and the others darkened.

Jared sneered and said, “Gerald, stop pretending.”

As he spoke, he threw a set of materials on the table and sneered, “Your background is

all here.”

Gerald did not look at the materials. He did not think that the Thornton family could find out his identity as a Watchman. He looked at Jared indifferently and said, “So? I came here alone today. Are you going to make a move on me?”

Jared looked at Gerald with a cold smile and did not give a direct answer.

The fact was that they were a little afraid.

According to their investigation, Gerald did not have much background. And Gerald’s
