Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Vivian and Irene Are Families Indeed

At the door of the construction site, Gerald went back to the security booth and took back his things from the security guard.

Trevon stood next to Gerald with a bitter face and said, “Well, Gerald, you are too impulsive. There aren’t as many people in the construction field as you think. Simeon knows a lot of contractors. Now that we offend him, I don’t think we can continue to earn a living in Los Angeles. Besides, we won’t get our money back. Liam is still waiting for the money for his chemo, and you have to give the money to your wife and your mother–in–law, or they will scold you again.”

“Irene and I have already divorced.” Gerald let out a breath.

“What?” Trevon was stunned. “You guys have divorced?”

“Yes. To be precise, she and her mother kicked me out. I signed the papers this morning. They packed my things and threw them out.” Gerald gave a wry smile and lifted the garbage bag in his hand.

“Well…” Trevon smiled bitterly. “I told you to put down your name on the deed back then, and you said it was fine… “Forget it. I have enough on my plate. Liam will have a chemo tomorrow…” Trevon became sad again. He looked at Gerald and said, “Now that they kicked you out, you don’t have a place to live, right? You can go to my place for a

while!”

Gerald’s heart warmed slightly.

He thought, so far, Trevon hasn’t blamed me. He hasn’t quarreled with me, since we can’t get our money back What’s more, he offers to take me in!

He is indeed a friend worth making.

“Don’t worry.

confidently.

Simeon will be back in less than five minutes. He will beg us to give us the money back,” Gerald smiled

Trevon curled his lips and said, “Yeah, right. I know you, OK? That’s enough talking. We have lost our jobs anyway. Let’s go back to my place now!”

“No rush!” A confident smile appeared on Gerald’s face.

Meanwhile, Simeon walked towards the construction site and smiled disdainfully. “Two losers. How dare you quarrel with me? Who gave you the nerve? I will make your lives in Los Angeles miserable!”

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Suddenly, his phone rang. He took out his phone and glanced at the screen, and then his expression changed slightly. He quickly picked up the phone. Although he couldn’t see the other party’s face, he still smiled flatteringly, “Hello, Mr. Hawthorne! What can I do for you? Rest assured! I will complete the project on time, and the quality will be guaranteed!”

“You don’t have to do it anymore,” a cold voice said on the other end of the line.

“What?” Simeon’s expression changed slightly. “What did you say?”

Aidan Hawthorne said calmly, “I said, you may step down. We have already found someone else to do the job. In addition, we found that you’ve cut corners a lot in your previous projects. We have already joined forces with several other real estate companies to sye you. You will receive the lawyer’s letter tomorrow! Be prepared to lose everything.”

Simeon’s expression changed drastically. He quickly said, “Mr. Hawthorne, is there a misunderstanding here?”

“Misunderstanding? Gerald… You know him, right?” Aidan’s voice on the phone became even colder.

“Gerald? He works for me. He is just a loser! He…” Suddenly, Simeon thought of the call Gerald made just now, and his

face twitched.

“Blame yourself for messing with the wrong person!” After Aidan finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone!

Simeon was stunned, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The image of Gerald, who wore a worn vest all year round, appeared in his mind. He was on the verge of collapsing!

At the door of the construction site, Trevon looked at Gerald and said, “Why are you still standing here? Let’s go!”

“Tinkle!”

Suddenly, Trevon’s phone rang. He picked up the phone and glanced at the screen. “Huh?”

He received a transfer from Simeon. It was a full 3,200 dollars, which was 500 dollars more than his salary deducted

by Simeon.

At the same time, he saw a chubby figure not far away running madly toward them. Who else could it be but Simeon?

For a moment, Trevon was stunned. He glanced at Simeon and then looked at Gerald next to him. He swallowed his

saliva and felt his mind was a mess.

Meanwhile, Simeon had already run to Gerald and Trevon. Simeon’s fat face was full of sweat, which was probably because of tiredness or fear. He trembled, took out a box of cigarettes, opened it, and handed a cigarette to Gerald, saying, “Gerald… Gerald, have one!”
