Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654 A Great Honor

The entire room was filled with people. There were no empty seats in the audience. On the television screen, Rachel had already started the introduction.

There were also some girls who held neon plates that were written with “Hero” in their hands.

“Are they here for Gerald? Is Gerald an icon now?” Jadon asked in surprise.

Jolie shook her head and said, “I don’t know. But recently, many of my former classmates began to ask me for Gerald’s autograph when they found out that Gerald was my brother.”

The others also laughed.

When Gerald came out with Theo and Carolyn in Watchman’s uniform, people shouted and cheered.

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

It was just like what Gerald and Valery had encountered when they were in a Northern European country before. But now they were in a room and shooting, the audience was not as crazy as they had met before.

Gerald and the other two then sat down with a smile.

“Look at Gerald, he is so nervous!” Yazmin teased him with a smile.

“Maybe it’s because he hasn’t been on TV before.” Mason also laughed.

A middle-aged man with glasses next to them sighed and said, “Your son is so promising now!”

He was Manuel Backman, one of Mason’s childhood friends and also Mason’s classmate, just like Gerald to Doreen. They had been in the same school from kindergarten to college.

When Gerald was little, the two families were quite close to each other.

When Mason was down, he would go to Manuel’s place for a drink.

However, after Gerald got into trouble, Manuel and Mason intentionally distanced themselves from each other.

Recently, Manuel took the initiative to contact Mason. He also brought his wife and a schoolfellow called Kirk Britton to visit Mason.

“None of us had expected it either!” Mason smiled and said, “He was framed and imprisoned and was even sentenced to life imprisonment back then. We had never thought that he would be recruited into Night. Watch!”

The tone of his voice sounded a bit strange.

When Mason was young, he always thought that Manuel and Kirk were more than good friends to him since they had grown up together. Mason thought that no matter what happened, Manuel and Kirk would definitely support him.

But when that day really came and Mason lost the support of the Kenneth family, Manuel and Kirk also left him.

During those nine years, Gerald experienced a lot, and so did Mason and Yazmin. They also witnessed how the relationships between them and their friends turned sour.

Mason treated Yazmin’s family well until now mainly because in those few years, although Yazmin’s family also taunted him, they had never cut off contact with him.

It was also why Gerald was willing to help Jolie before, and why he didn’t say anything when the others moved here.

That guy who has been talking all the time is Theo Roach. You know, Theo is funny and cute. It’s just that hooking up with girls is one of his hobbies.” Jolie spent some time with them and introduced them to each other.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Jolie, go answer the door,” Jolie’s mother, Lilia, said.

“No! I want to watch the show.” Jolie mumbled, but she still ran out to open the door. But when she saw it was Gerald, she asked in surprise, “Gerald, you’re back? Have you finished your business?”
