Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 News From Sin City

At noon, the banquet officially began.

People who came gave money as a gift. It was Leila who was taking notes. Of course, those people couldn’t afford to give much money. Guests with better family conditions would offer one hundred dollars. Those from ordinary families would just give 20 to 30 dollars.

However, Wesley now didn’t care too much.

Gerald sat aside and heard many voices!

“What exactly has Wesley done? He suddenly affords to hold a banquet in this five–star hotel.”

“He owed a lot of money. He was so struggling that he borrowed money from me two days ago.”

“Did he do anything illegal?”

All sorts of discussions were going on!

Behind Gerald and the others, there were also people discussing things.

Someone said gingerly, “Have you heard it? Two days ago, when Wesley came to me, he said that he was moving to Washington with Leila.”

“Moving to Washington?” Someone asked in surprise.

“Yes, I even suspect that Wesley is crazy. Where did he get the money?”

“Wasn’t Raiden arrested?”

“Raiden was arrested, but he didn’t have any money. Every inch of ground in Washington values a lot. Ordinary people cannot afford to live there. I suspect that Wesley has done something.”

“Who cares? As long as he has money, I will borrow some money from him. My daughter is getting

married.”

“It’s human nature!” Beside him, Valery muttered and shook her head.

Gerald had long seen through human nature.

After Gerald and Irene got married, he didn’t live so well.

At that time, Gerald understood that in this world, money talked.

If one had money, he would be highly respected. If one was poor, he would be disdained.

Now all of this was just a repeat for him!

Wesley and Leila were constantly entertaining guests. Many people who were unwilling to contact them before took the initiative to toast Wesley!

Wesley was very happy. On this day, he drank until he was dead drunk. Maybe it was because he was relieved, or maybe his relatives and friends contacted him.

The banquet was held in the daytime. At night, all guests rested in booked rooms in a hot spring hotel. Valery paid all the expenses. So, they could soak in the hot spring or do something else.

Gerald saw the smile on Wesley’s and Leila’s faces, which relieved him. After all, he owed them a

life.

“Beep…”

At that moment, Valery’s phone rang. Valery took out her headphones and picked up the phone!

The scene was too noisy, and it was impossible to hear clearly without headphones.

Valery spent about five or six minutes on the phone and then frowned. After hanging up, she looked at Gerald and said, “Let’s go out and talk!”

Gerald knew that there must be a mission or something on Night Watch.

He followed Valery outside of the banquet and found a quiet place to sit down. After sitting down, Gerald asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Two things. One piece of good news and one bad!” Valery said.

“The good news first!” Gerald said.
