Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Can You Afford It?

Returning to Elliot’s shop, Audrey still said with a shocked look, “Gerald, I didn’t expect you to know antiques. How did you see that the thing was fake?”

Elliot was also clear about what happened. He looked at Gerald and said, “I thought you were just a strong guy, didn’t expect you to know antiques either.”

and I

Gerald smiled. He did know a bit about antiques. As a Watchman, he had to dabble in all aspects of knowledge.

He smiled. Then, he looked at Audrey and said, “Come and choose one first!”

“I have prepared some things here. You can take a look at them and choose whichever you prefer!” Elliot looked deeply

at Gerald and then said to Audrey.

Audrey was still in shock at Gerald exposing Donovan. After hearing Elliot’s words, she came back to her senses. Then she looked curiously at Gerald and said, “Then I’ll go to choose first.”

Gerald looked at Elliot and said, “While she is choosing, may I take a look around the store?”

Elliot frowned. Although Gerald had exposed Donovan’s trick, in his heart, Gerald was still the strong farmer that had

come to work for him. However, for the sake of Audrey, he nodded and said, “It doesn’t matter if you just take a look

around the store casually, but you must not touch the things in the store. If you accidentally break any of the things,

I’m afraid that you can’t afford to pay for the damage.”

Gerald smiled and didn’t mind what Elliot said. Audrey then followed Elliot to choose one for herself.

Since Bradley was Audrey’s father, Gerald wasn’t worried that Audrey would be cheated!

As for himself, Gerald began to take a look around the store.

There were many things in the store, including porcelains and jades which were placed on the shelves. Gerald walked around for a while and found that there were real antiques there, but there were also many fake things.

Gerald didn’t know what he should buy for Keira. He was not a stingy person. Moreover, he took Keira’s kindness to

him in his heart.

Just as he was taking a look around, a slightly pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Gerald’s ears.

“Sir, excuse me.”

Gerald turned around and found that the mother and daughter who had been blackmailed just now were standing behind him.

“Is there anything I can help with?” Gerald asked.

Gerald was sure that they were not as simple as they looked, and he could tell this from their accent. At this time, Gerald noticed the huge drawing board on the girl’s back. She might have studied painting.

“Thank you for helping us just now. Otherwise, we would really be cheated by that profiteer,” the beautiful woman said. “We came here to travel and also give my child a chance to sketch from nature. I’m very interested in antiques, so when I heard that there was an authentic work of that Ancient Master Artist, I quickly came here to have a look. I didn’t expect that I would be cheated.”

Gerald waved his hand and said, “Don’t take it to heart. It’s not a big deal. I just tried to help.”

“There were so many people at the time, but you were the only one who dared to stand out to help us. Of course, we should thank you properly,” the beautiful woman said.

Gerald looked at the two of them, and he thought in his heart secretly, how will they thank me properly?

At this time, the beautiful woman said, “I want to treat you to lunch. Please don’t mind it.”

Gerald was speechless. He found that he thought wrong. He coughed and said, “Hmm, I’m afraid I can’t go have lunch with you. I still have things to do all day today.”

The beautiful woman pondered for a moment and then took out her mobile phone as she said, “Then let me add you as a friend on Line. When you are free, I’ll ask you for lunch again.”

Gerald didn’t refuse her suggestion. He took out his mobile phone and added both the mother and daughter as friends on Line. At this time, the beautiful woman introduced herself, “By the way, what’s your name? I’m Jessica Lange. This is my daughter, Daphne Lange.”

Daphne Lange? It seems that Jessica’s a single rich widow!

If I can get her appreciation, I won’t need to work hard anymore!
