Slumdog billionaire husband novel (Gerald Kenneth)

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Dad, I’m Back

Sacramento was Gerald’s hometown. Gerald had lived here for eighteen years.

Now Gerald was 27 years old. He had been away from Sacramento for 9 years.

Many things had happened to Gerald in the past nine years. Sometimes Gerald felt grateful to those

people who had set him up nine years ago. Without them, Gerald would not have joined Night Watch or

become who he was now.

Hearing Gerald, Jessica smiled and said, “Are you a local here?”

Gerald smiled. “Yes, I was born here. However, I have been away for a long, long time.”

“Really?” Daphne, who carried a drawing board, glanced at Gerald with curiosity and asked, “Why did

you come back this time? To visit your relatives and friends here? To work?”

Gerald thought, to visit my relatives?

Is that so? In Sacramento, I don’t think I have any relatives, apart from my parents.

Gerald thought for a moment and said, “Both.”

With a faint smile, Jessica said, “By the way, Mr. Kenneth, what do you do?”

Gerald rubbed his nose and said, “Well, I haven’t found a job yet. Unemployed.”

This answer took both Jessica and Daphne by surprise. Right then, a middle–aged man came over and

said to Jessica,

“Ms. Lange.”

Speaking, the middle–aged man took the suitcases from both Jessica and Daphne. “The car is waiting

outside. Shall we leave for the company?”

Jessica shook her head and said, “I will treat my friend to dinner first.”

The middle–aged man was surprised. Then, he quickly said, “Ms. Lange, the company has been in a

mess after you left. The whole company knew that you would come back to Sacramento today. They

are waiting for you to set things

right.”

Jessica frowned. Gerald smiled and said, “Never mind. Work comes first. I will stay in Sacramento for a

long time and may settle here. We may dine together when it’s convenient. Moreover, what I did was a

trifle. Don’t take it to heart.”

Jessica became embarrassed as she said, “I am terribly sorry. How about tomorrow? Let’s dine

together tomorrow

night.”

Gerald nodded and said, “No problem.”

“Okay. I will contact you on Line later,” Jessica said.

Gerald nodded. After watching Jessica and Daphne leave, Gerald turned around and left to hail a taxi.

Behind Gerald, Tyrone stood not far away with a mask. With a gloomy face, Tyrone looked at Gerald’s

back. After a moment, a voice sounded, “Tyrone!”

Tyrone looked over, saw Henley in the crowd, and quickly walked over. “Henley.”

“Tsk tsk, how is my task for you?” Henley asked.

“Done,” Tyrone said proudly.

“Great.” Henley nodded with satisfaction. Then, he said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the beauties of

Los Angeles.

Don’t forget yourself. You are a celebrity anyway.”

“Henley, come on. There are so many beauties in Los Angeles. I met two beautiful women on the

plane, but a killjoy appeared. Screw him!” Tyrone pointed to Gerald, who was far away.

Henley looked at Gerald and frowned. “Hey, he looks like Gerald.”

Then, he shook his head again.

Henley didn’t think that Gerald had the guts to come back to Sacramento. In his opinion, Gerald must

feel lucky to find a decent job in Los Angeles.

Gerald has a bad reputation in Sacramento. He will humiliate himself if he comes back here. Henley

thought.

“Let’s go!” Henley put his arm around Tyrone’s shoulder and said, “Damn it! You are a man. Why do

you wear makeup? It disgusts me!”

“Come on! The little girls love me in this way. With this attire, I can hit on any girl,” Tyrone said proudly.

“It can help me attract female fans.”

Gerald lined up and soon got in a taxi. In the car, he said, “Happiness Neighborhood, please.”

Happiness Neighborhood was the name of a community where Gerald’s parents lived.

Gerald kept an eye on his parents when he was still on Night Watch.

After Gerald got into trouble, the Kenneth family disowned his parents, drove them out of the family

company, and

confiscated their house.

The Kenneth family was influential in Sacramento, so it was difficult for Gerald’s father to find a job at

first.

After Gerald became a Watchman, things changed. Gerald’s father was headhunted by one company

and got a handsome salary. After that, the life of Gerald’s parents was back on the right track.

Gerald couldn’t tell his parents that he was a Watchman, so his parents still thought that Gerald was in

prison. Therefore, Gerald felt bad.

One hour later, the taxi stopped at the destination, and Gerald paid the fare. Gerald stood at the

entrance of the neighborhood with agitation and excitement.

Gerald hadn’t seen his parents for 9 years.

After a deep breath, Gerald walked into the neighborhood. He asked the security guard for directions,

then held his backpack tightly, and walked forward.

Room 504, Building 5. Gerald thought. He walked out of the elevator and looked at the door of Room

504. Upon his approach, Gerald found that the door of Room 504 was ajar, and a voice came out of the

room.

“Mason Kenneth, how could you say that?” A voice came from the inside. “Your surname is Kenneth

anyway. You are the vice president of Universe Group, so you have the right to sign the contract.

Moreover, this cooperation will benefit your company too!”

Mason was the name of Gerald’s father.

“Sorry that I can’t.” Mason sighed. “Moreover, the Kenneth family disowned us…”

This voice sounded tired, so Gerald felt sad.

“We did so because Gerald raped a girl.” There came a sneer. “Mason, I tried to be nice. You had NôvelDrama.Org © content.

better sign this contract. If you are stubborn, I promise that you can’t lead a peaceful life in

Sacramento. You will get harassed every

day!”

Gerald knew who this visitor at his home was. This visitor was Kyrie Kenneth, who had proposed to the

Kenneth family to disown Gerald and his parents back then.

Kyrie was a distant relative to Gerald. Back then, Kyrie worked for Mason. He was the biggest

beneficiary after the fall of Mason. Kyrie took over the company that Mason had been in charge of.

Kyrie said after a sneer, “Without the annual performance assessment, I wouldn’t ask for your help. I do

want to be nice to you, but you don’t know what is good for you.”

Mason sighed and then said, “Kyrie, don’t go too far. In the past nine years, I stayed away from you. I

am not a member of the Kenneth family now. Why are you still so ruthless?”

“Cut that crap. Will you sign the contract or not?” Kyrie became a little impatient. He sneered and said,

“If you don’t sign, I can guarantee that neither you nor your wife can have a good life. I remember that

your wife has asthma…”

“You!” There was a hint of anger in Mason’s voice.

“He won’t sign!” Gerald appeared at the door, and his voice was chilling cold.

The people in the living room looked at the door at the same time.

“Gerald!” Mason trembled violently.

Gerald looked at his father and thought, his hair became gray. He must have suffered great psychological pressure during the past nine years.

However, he still hangs in there.

Looking at the wrinkles on his father’s face, Gerald ignored Kyrie, put down his backpack, and trembled

slightly. Facing Mason, Gerald slowly said, “Dad… I’m back!”

Mason’s eyes instantly became moist. Mason forgot Kyrie, and his eyes became red. Then, tears

flowed down Mason’s

face.

Mason walked to Gerald, wiped his tears, and patted Gerald on the shoulder. Then, Mason said, “Good

to have you back. Good to have you back.”

“Hey, weren’t you sentenced to life imprisonment? Why are you here? Did you escape from prison?”

Kyrie, who still sat on the sofa in the living room, asked.

Then, Kyrie remembered something. He looked at Gerald and asked with a sneer, “Did you just tell

your father not to sign the contract?”

Gerald wiped his wet eyes, looked at Kyrie, and said word by word, “I heard you threaten my father,

didn’t you?”
