Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 546 Won’t See Anyone From Universe Group

After dinner, Gerald looked at Carolyn and asked, “Where is Mr. Dominic? I will go meet him. I have to

tell him that I need some more time. Only after the wedding will Mr. Dominic and I go to Sin

City.”

Carolyn nodded. “Okay. Mr. Dominic brought Jacob and Erik back and wanted them to join our team.

Erik is fine. His strength is acceptable as he is a top expert. But this Jacob is just at primary level and

he is not talented.”

Gerald said with a smile, “Let them join. Jacob is smart. His value is not in his strength. Just look at

Zackary. He has not reached the primary level, but he is the brain of Night Watch! Jacob is just like

him.”

“Okay, but Jacob has been with his family recently. Do you want to see him?” Carolyn asked.

Gerald shook his head. “No. Let him be with his family for a while. When I come back from Sin City, ask

him to come back. We won’t do any missions for the time being. Besides, Claude and Aleen have just

got married. Give them some time for their honeymoon. At the very least, they can have a

baby.”

Valery grinned. “I will be the baby’s godmother.”

Gerald’s eyes lit up as he said, “You already knew that I intended to be the godfather?”

“Get lost!” Valery glared at Gerald.

As they chatted, they walked out of the restaurant. Jolie said, “I won’t go visit Mr. Dominic. I will ask for

a leave and go to the South with you.”

Gerald nodded. “Alright. Tell Leandro that I will find him when I am back.”

Since Gerald was going to get Universe Group out of trouble, he had to get files from Leandro.

Jolie nodded. “Okay!”

After that, she got in the car and rushed to Universe Group. Gerald and the other four also drove to

the base of Night Watch!

Those people in Sin City had been handled with the least disruption. Now that they had stable jobs,

they did not cause any trouble. Some had their companies in the city and went back to doing

business.

For the top experts like Malcolm, Valery would offer high positions with little work to do.

In other words, the group was like private soldiers financed by Team 11762.

Scar enjoyed a lot of leisure time thanks to the arrangement.

The base of Night Watch was returned to Dennis. However, Dennis did not stay in the base for long

during this period. The residents of Sin City flooded into other cities. Some flocked into

Sacramento, leading to chaos. Therefore, Dennis was pretty busy.

However, thanks to the help from Lightbringers, Scar felt his pressure eased a lot.

When Gerald and his followers arrived at Night Watch, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

Dennis was not in the base. A few people could be seen. After greeting them, Gerald found Charles in

a building.

At the sight of Gerald, Charles put on a cheerful expression, stood up, and said, “Let’s go!”

Gerald quickly said, “Please wait for a second, Mr. Dominic. Don’t be in such a hurry. How about giving

me five days? A team member is going to get married. I have to attend his wedding. He’s my

best friend.”

Charles said with a frown, “We should get rid of Davis as soon as possible.”

Gerald agreed, “I know. But going there alone to face so many people in the underground world of Sin

City is risky. What if Davis mobilized a large group of people to kill us? If we are outnumbered, our lives

are at their mercy. So we have to think twice before we leap!”

Charles said coolly, “They don’t dare to attack us. But it doesn’t matter if we push it back for five days.

Since you need to attend a wedding, come to the Quadrity in Washington after you are done.”

Gerald said, “Okay!”

Gerald was curious about what Charles had written in Kaven’s letter. However, he suppressed the urge

to ask seeing that Charles did not want to talk about it.

After leaving Night Watch, Gerald went to Universe Group’s office and got some files that might come

in handy. Gerald returned home at night.

Gerald had told his parents in advance that he was going back. So when he went home, dinner was

ready.

The moment Gerald saw his parents, he finally realized what had happened.

He once again almost died.

After dinner, Gerald chatted with his parents for a while. Then he went back to his bedroom on the

second floor and lay down on the reclining chair on the balcony.

He looked down at the neighborhood.

When Gerald lay down, he saw the man next door talking on the phone while walking the dog. Gerald

overheard it. It seemed that the man was still on the phone with his mistress.

“The man is so scheming. It has been more than a month, but his wife knows nothing about it.”

Gerald found it amusing.

At night, Yazmin asked Gerald to bring Audrey back home. Gerald could only agree and promise to

take Audrey back when they celebrated the New Year.

Once again, Gerald had to ask Audrey to pretend to be her girlfriend. As Night Watch had few training

missions during the New Year period, Gerald could give her a vacation and take her back

home.

Three months after Audrey joined Night Watch, she had already advanced from the intermediate to the

advanced level.

Gerald had not expected that Night Watch would accidentally recruit someone as talented and

persevered as Audrey.

Audrey advanced as quickly as Gerald and Carolyn had once done. Now Audrey was already an adult.

If she had joined Night Watch when she was a teenager, she would probably have advanced faster.

Gerald lay on the reclining chair, enjoying the rare peaceful moment. Gradually, he fell asleep on

the balcony.

In a daze, he felt that someone put covers on him. Knowing it must be his family, Gerald did not open

his eyes and stayed asleep.

When Gerald woke up, it was already the next morning.

Mason had gone out to work. Gerald went downstairs and told Yazmin while eating breakfast, “Mom,

Mr. Hanson asked me to go on a business trip. This time, I will go to the South!”

Yazmin muttered, “Mr. Hanson is so hard on you. Why is it always you who go on business trips? Every

time you come back, you only stay for one.”

“Yeah. He is hard on me. But I don’t have a choice, do I?” Gerald was gloating while talking to

Yazmin.

“Well, but it is not all doom and gloom. Work hard and make more money. Save for your marriage and

your wife. Don’t splurge!” Yazmin nagged as most moms did.

“I know. I’m saving money!” Gerald said cheerfully.

Beside him, Jolie said, grinning, “I will go with Gerald. We will complete this project together.”

Gerald put up Jolie’s name in the project again.

Unlike Jolie, Mason often slacked off at work, whereas Jolie was young and driven. Therefore, Gerald

planned to give the credit to her, so that she could get a promotion in Universe Group.

The five of them gathered at the Sacramento Airport. Two hours later, Gerald and his fellow teammates

walked out of the airport in the South with suitcases.

Claude and Aleen were standing outside with two cars by the side.

“You’re finally here. Theo has already arrived. I’ll take you to the hotel!” Claude said, walking to

them.

Gerald patted Claude on the shoulder. “You’re quite amazing! I won’t go to the hotel. I have to get

something done first. When I’m done, I’ll find you.”

Claude became serious. “Are you on a mission again?”

“No. It’s a business matter. You won’t understand it.” Gerald patted him on the shoulder.

“Come off it. You don’t know better.” Valery was blunt.

Gerald cleared his throat and dragged Jolie into another car. Claude handed the key to Gerald, who

drove to his destination.

The destination was a company named Prosplin Group.

After an hour, the car stopped at a building in the most prosperous area of the South.

Gerald and Jolie walked into the building.

A beautiful receptionist at the front desk asked with a polite smile, “Who are you looking for?”

Jolie had folders in her arms. Gerald said calmly, “We are from the Universe Group. We have

collaboration with you and want to see your president Mr. Barry!”

Surprised, the receptionist shook her head. “Mr. Barry has told us that he won’t see anyone from the

Universe Group. I am sorry, sir. I’m afraid you have to go back!”
