Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 239 Leana’s Visit

After parking the car, Gerald followed Catherine to the studio.

Although this was a studio, to put it bluntly, it was just the design department of Ingrid’s studio. The clerks

who worked here were designers.

After greeting Eddie at the door, Gerald and Catherine walked into the company.

Catherine was responsible for most of the work. Gerald went to Ingrid’s office and found that Ingrid was

reading some documents there.

“Oh, it’s so early today,” Ingrid said with a smile when she saw Gerald walk into the office.

“Go on with your work. Don’t bother to serve me,” Gerald said quickly. He ran to the sofa and sat

down.

Ingrid nodded. She put down the documents in her hands and walked to Gerald’s side. She sat down

and said, “Do you know that something happened to the Lester family yesterday?”

“Huh?” Gerald was slightly astounded. He did not expect Ingrid to know.

Ingrid looked at Gerald and said, “Don’t play dumb. The Lester family had a conflict with you before, and

they were immediately caught by Watchmen. It seems that Landen and his brother were also sent to Sin

City. Did you do it?”

Gerald was silent. Then he touched his nose and said, “I am just surprised that you are so

well–informed. Yes, I did it!”

“Wow, I didn’t guess wrong,” Ingrid said proudly. “This was what my grandfather said yesterday. I

don’t know where he got the news. This family should have been arrested long ago.‘

Obviously, Ingrid did not know the details and did not know what happened yesterday.

This matter involved the issue of Leana’s dignity, and Gerald did not say too much.

Ingrid looked at Gerald and said, “Tell me honestly, what number are you on Night Watch?”

Gerald felt that there was no need to hide it. Anyway, he knew Ingrid very well, and Ingrid was not a big

mouth. He touched his nose and said, “I’m Watchman No. o!”

When Gerald finished speaking, Ingrid was suddenly stunned.

After a moment, Ingrid could not help but pat Gerald and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. Why

are you bragging? Watchman No. 0 is the most powerful one among the Watchmen. If you were the most

powerful Watchman, you would have been sent to various parts of the world to carry out tasks. How

could you have so much free time to idle every day? You even travel from Sacramento to Washington?”

Gerald rubbed his nose and thought to himself, that makes sense!

“It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. I can probably guess it. Based on my and Leana’s understanding of

Watchmen, you are at the same level as Mark. I guess it is between No. 10 and No. 15!” Ingrid said.

Gerald was at a loss for words.

Mark was ranked fourth in the Moon List.

However, there was also a premise, which was that Watchmen were not listed in the Moon List or

the Star List.

As for the Sun List, it was different. There were only 12 people on the Sun List, and these 12 people

were the strongest in the world.

The clothes and weapons of Watchmen were very similar. In addition, Watchmen were relatively low–

key, and most of the time, people could not figure out the number of Watchmen who attacked.

Therefore, Watchmen were not listed in the Moon List.

As for Gerald, he was an exception. When he became Watchman No. 0, he was very impressive.

Especially, the two sabers, Void–breaking and Nameless, were well–known, so his battle achievements

were also known by some people in the underground world except Watchmen.

This was also the reason why Gerald was so famous in the underground world as Watchman No. 0.

Together with Gerald, Carolyn and Terry had greater fame than ordinary people in the underground

world.

In the past three years, Gerald and Carolyn had disappeared, and Terry had died, causing the three of

them to disappear from the Moon List.

Hearing Ingrid’s confident speculation, Gerald sighed in his heart, well, she doesn’t believe me

when I tell the truth.

“Well, you can keep your guess,” Gerald said. “You and Leana know a lot about Watchmen, right?“,

“Of course!” Ingrid said, “The older generation of these martial arts families actually has some

relationship with Watchmen. However, most people know that Watchmen will carry out some dangerous

tasks. Staying in the city is so comfortable that no one is willing to take risks. The younger generation is

also like this, but Leana and I are different. We really want to join Night

Watch!

“But my family does not allow it, and Leana’s grandfather also does not allow her to join,” Ingrid

sighed and said.

Gerald was stunned. These two girls are interesting. However, Gerald could understand their

elders‘ actions. There was no need for two girls to do dangerous work.

In this city, they were rich and powerful, living a comfortable life, and there was no danger in their lives.

Why would they take the risk of being a Watchman?

After the two talked for a while, Ingrid changed the topic and said, “By the way, Daphne seems to be in a

bad situation yesterday.”

“Hmm?” Gerald asked, “What was it?”

“Her mother and the Thornton family are in a very bad situation. They came here this time actually to

make clear the relationship with the Thornton family. Goldsun Group is actually a company that Daphne’s

parents set up together. Then the Thornton family come over and probably want to divide it up,” Ingrid

said. “The Thornton family is not willing to give Daphne’s mother a single cent. Moreover… because

Daphne changed her name, then the Thornton family seems to want to remove her from the genealogy.”

Gerald frowned slightly.

In Washington, the Thornton family was a big family. Their financial resources were not worse

than that of New Bank.

Moreover, there was another difference. The Thornton family was also a martial arts family. Moreover,

the family had produced super experts. It could be said that it was a great family.

“Then Daphne’s mother would definitely not be willing. Now they are all in court,” Ingrid said. “Anyway, it

is quite messy. Daphne is a child. She can’t manage anything. I intend to let her ignore the matter. If her

mother can’t get the property, I will raise her in the future.”

“Ouch!” Gerald looked at Ingrid with a smile and said, “Money gives people confidence!”

“Pooh!” Ingrid glanced at him and said, “You are a person with a Diamond Card from New Bank. Don’t

pretend to be poor!”

Just as they were talking, there was a sudden movement outside the door.

Gerald and Ingrid could not help but look outside through the glass of the office. When they saw the

scene outside, they were stunned.

Outside the office, at this time, almost all the men in the design department stood up. They were stunned

and looked at the door. Over there, there was a tall and slim figure who was slowly walking

toward them!–

She was 5.7 feet. She was curvaceous and sexy, just like a model!

Coupled with her extremely beautiful face, it was enough to attract the attention of any man!

If not for Leana, who else could it be?

“Why did Leana suddenly come to my studio?” Ingrid had a look of joy on her face as she skipped

towards the door. Then, she opened the door and said, “Leana! Why are you here?”

Leana looked very cold. She walked into the office and glanced at Gerald. Then she looked at Ingrid and

said, “Am I not welcome?”

“How could that be!” Ingrid said happily. “I am bored here every day. I set up a studio. I originally thought

that I could design something on my own. As a result, I am reading documents here every day. It is so

boring! By the way, what are you doing here?”

Leana glanced at Gerald and then revealed a sneer. “I came to find Gerald. You don’t know that Gerald

saved my life yesterday!”

“Huh?” Ingrid said in astonishment. “What happened?”
