Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 243 A Storm Is Brewing

“Remember my name. My name is Dave!” Dave patted Gerald on the shoulder as he wore a

half–smile on his face.

Dave’s eyes were full of threat and coldness.

Leana sneered and said, “Dave, don’t take yourself too seriously!”

Dave smiled at her and said, “I have told my parents that I will go to your place tomorrow to propose

marriage.”

“My grandfather will say no!” Leana gnashed her teeth and said.

Dave was not angry. He glanced coldly at Gerald and took the number. Then he walked to a place far

away from Gerald and sat down. After sitting down, he asked Riley, “What is Gerald’s background?”

“It was said that Gerald got to know Ingrid through Daphne in Sacramento. As for how he knew Daphne,

I am not clear,” Riley said, “I have investigated him. He had drawn some attention in Sacramento

previously. He was a collateral member of the Kenneth family in Sacramento who was framed by Holden

and therefore put to jail for nine years. After that, Leandro took him out. From then on, he became a

pawn for Leandro to deal with the Kenneth family.”

“Is he working at Leandro’s place?” Dave asked.

“Yeah. He is Leandro’s assistant or something. I was going to teach him a lesson in Sacramento. He was

the one who caused the chaos on the Internet. This guy is a fucking heavy drinker. I can’t even

win against him,” Riley scolded.

At this time, a surprised expression appeared on Dave’s face.

“While I have no idea about what happened after he came to Washington. I don’t know how he met

Leana,” Riley said. “But this boy is good at hooking up with girls. From Daphne to Ingrid, now even

Leana has invited him to dinner.”

Dave couldn’t help but put on a gloomy face. He snorted coldly and said, “I got it!”

“Is he rich?” Dave asked.

“He probably doesn’t have much money on his own, but he might have gotten a lot of benefits from

following Leandro,” Riley explained.

Dave touched his chin. After a while, he said, “Okay, since he is in Washington, let me play a good host!”

Although Gerald was far away from them, he caught what they said clearly. At the same time, Gerald

saw that Valery, who was not far away, slightly said something. Along with Valery’s slightly cold voice, he

heard, “Good at hooking up with girls? Gerald, good for you!”

Gerald paused. But at the moment, he was sitting beside Ingrid and Leana. So he could not explain

anything. He could only smile bitterly right on the spot!

“No. 067, please come in for the meal!” At this time, a broadcast voice suddenly rang in their ears.

Ingrid looked at the number ticket in her hand and said, “It’s our turn. Let’s go!”

Gerald nodded and smiled at Valery. Then he followed Ingrid into the restaurant.

Just as they walked in, a figure walked over from the side of the road. He took the number ticket and said

calmly, “Boss, they have gotten into Harmony Restaurant!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down in the seat that Gerald had just sat in!

What he did not know was that in front of them, Valery and Carolyn had heard what he said. Both of

them curled the corners of their lips into smiles.

At the same time, Gerald and the other two were taken to the third floor of the restaurant. After being

taken to a seat by the waiter, Ingrid said, “I want the most expensive one.”

Leana smiled and said, “I have to drive, so I am not going to drink. If you guys want it, you can have

some.”

“I still have to go to work in the afternoon. Not this time!” Ingrid said with a smile.

After ordering, Gerald turned to Ingrid and said, “Is Dave one of the Thornton family?”

“Well, one of the successors of the Thornton family,” Ingrid said. “Putting aside his character, he

is quite capable. Now he has taken over a lot of business of Kiloud Group. Among the third generation of

the Thornton family, no one can be his match.”

“What’s wrong with his character?” Gerald asked.

“Well…” Ingrid blushed slightly and said, “He’s a super playboy. That almost everyone in Washington

knows it. But because he can’t get along with my brother, he is not in our circle.”

“No wonder Mr. Jackson doesn’t want Leana to be with him,” Gerald ridiculed.

“He’s not my cup of tea! Even if he is not a playboy!” Leana coldly snorted, “I don’t like people who are

less smart than me!”

Ingrid said happily, “That’s why you invited Gerald to dinner because Gerald is smarter than you, right?”

“Bullshit!” Leana blushed and hurriedly explained, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

During the conversation, Gerald’s phone vibrated a few times. He took the phone and glanced at it. It

was a message from Valery.

2/4

“They are indeed planning to make a move. Be careful and protect Ingrid.”

Gerald silently put away his phone and smiled.

In fact, he hated acting like a bodyguard.

He was restrained!

As they talked, the food was served.

Gerald took a few bites, from which he was a little surprised.

It had to be admitted that Harmony Restaurant was famous for a reason. Its food was indeed

delicious. It was even much better and cheaper than that from Splendor Restaurant.

Of course, it was also different from the market that the two restaurants targeted. Harmony

Restaurant held a relatively affordable price.

Nothing special happened while they ate. After eating, Leana paid the bill and they walked down from

upstairs.

Gerald touched his nose and said, “Let me drive.”

Leana was stunned. She didn’t know why Gerald suddenly wanted to drive, but she didn’t think too

much and threw the key at Gerald.

Harmony Restaurant was located in a relatively rural area of Washington. It was a little far away

from downtown. At this time, on the way back to Washington, they were going through a rather

empty area.

Of course, there were many cars on the road.

At this time, at a three–way junction on the main road, there was a huge truck parking on an empty

road on one side.

The truck was filled with heavy loads. Besides it, Saul was making an order to someone else, “Drive

out later and force the car to stop. Do you understand?”

“Okay!” The person beside Saul replied.

Saul let out a sigh of relief. Then, he ran towards the back of the road. He walked to a car parked by the

roadside. In the car, there were a few blond foreigners. They were none other than Flory and his

people.

Seeing Saul walk over, Flory frowned and said, “It’s so unnecessary for such a lineup, isn’t it? Dark

Phantom, Blood Lotus, and us… We have nearly 20 top experts to go against Ingrid. Such a lineup…”

“It’s daytime!” Saul let out a breath and said. “Moreover, this might be a trap set up by Night

Watch!”

“Didn’t you investigate it? That person is just an ordinary guy,” Flory refuted.

“Aren’t the Watchmen best at disguising themselves as ordinary people?” Saul snorted. “If that person is

Triston, we will not be able to bear the consequences.”

“With this lineup, even if Triston was here, he would have to raise the white flag,” Flory said. “Dax is still

sitting at the back!”

Saul nodded. “Dax won’t do anything. He only wants to see us take down Ingrid. This is the key to

whether we can get him and Harland into our group!”

Flory nodded and said, “Understood! But first thing first, if this is indeed a trap set up by Night Watch, we

won’t make a move!”

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Then what about that girl from the

Jackson family? Derick…”

Saul’s expression changed slightly. “Get her too. If we can pull Derick in, it will also be good for

us!”

“Play it by ear when we start later. I will talk to Dax first!” Saul let out a breath.
