Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 A Trouble of the Manning Family

When they arrived downstairs, Ciara jumped over. She was no longer angry and said to Gerald with a smile, “Gerald, they are my classmates. Can they take a picture with you?”

Gerald looked over and found that it was a few young girls. Unlike the previous people, they were shyer and more excited.

“Can, can I?” A little girl said with a red face.

“No problem.” Gerald smiled and stood up. “Who will be the first one?”

A girl ran over and said, “I will!”

After that, she asked with some embarrassment, “Can I hold your arm?”

Gerald extended her arm to her. She looked happy and held Gerald’s arm. Then, she tiptoed and made a peace sign.

The other girls were envious.

Beside Gerald, Valery smiled. It could be seen that these girls liked Gerald very much.

Ever since the Elite Ghosts invaded, the media had been reporting about Night Watch. These little girls had their new heroes.

Everyone in Team 11762 became well-known and Gerald became a national hero.

However, Gerald did not like the feeling of being a celebrity that much.

Being low-key was something that was engraved in the minds of Watchmen.

Gerald fulfilled the requirements of these girls. After taking photos, Julien said, “That’s enough. We have to eat out.”

Ciara looked at her classmates proudly and said, “You go home then. I will go eat with them.”

The girls looked at Ciara with envy. It seemed that because Ciara would eat with Gerald, they were jealous.

They looked at Gerald reluctantly and left.

Gerald and the other three got into the car. This time, Colten drove the car. They found a quiet restaurant.

Colten said, “Dishes in small restaurants here are authentic.”

Valery nodded. “Where is my aunt?”

“She went back to her mother’s home,” Julien said. “She’ll come back tomorrow.”

As they ate, Julien asked about Gerald. Most of the questions were about Gerald’s marriage, and they talked about Valery’s childhood.

The meal was peaceful. Julien was quite satisfied with Gerald.

After dinner, it was around ten o’clock. Gerald and the others drove back home. Just as they arrived at the door, Gerald’s eyebrows twitched. He looked at the door and frowned.

Colten said angrily, “These guys are here again.”

Valery frowned and said, “Who are you talking about?”

“A local developer who wants to take our house,” Colten said. “The piece of land near our old residence is ours. They wanted the area behind us, but they felt that it would be better to include our land, so they came to talk to us.

“This is our heirloom, so we can’t give it to them. The price they offered is ridiculously low, so we refused,” Colten said with displeasure. “But after these bastards saw that we refused, they harassed us from time to time, and even the police were involved. It has been six months.”

Julien frowned and said, “Why are you telling them these things?”

“They even went to my school to stop me from entering. At this time, Ciara added.

Valery’s expression changed. She looked at Julien and asked, “Uncle, why didn’t you tell me about this?”

“This…” Julien said awkwardly. “You have been fighting hard recently. You must be busy, so I didn’t tell you. And in the past two months, because of the invasion of the Elite Ghosts, they behaved themselves.”

Before the invasion of the Elite Ghosts, everyone was in a panic, and no one had the mood to do these things.

But after the Night Watch announced that the future would be peaceful, these people began to cause trouble again.
