Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 268 Something We Don’t Know

As Gerald released his power, the entire room fell silent. Everyone looked at Gerald in

shock.

“Super level!”

“You’re actually at the super level!”

“How’s that possible!”

All sorts of voices rushed into Gerald’s ears at this moment.

Gerald smiled. He looked at Dylan indifferently and said, “Let’s fight? Let’s see how many of your

grandsons and sons can survive today.”

Dylan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gerald from head to toe. He gradually withdrew his power and

sat down with a gloomy expression.

Gerald also put away his power and sat down beside Jessica.

Jessica was a little confused. She didn’t know what the thing they were talking about meant, but she

could see that Gerald had shown amazing power and shocked all the people in the Thornton family.

The first time she met Gerald was because she was framed for selling fake paintings in

Los Angeles.

At that time, an antique shop owner looked down upon Gerald and thought he was a

porter.

But now, Gerald had single-handedly made the Thornton family, one of the largest families in

Washington, feel helpless and fearful. The huge shift in his status gave mixed feelings.

“Kid, who the hell are you?” Dylan looked at Gerald and asked with a burning gaze. “It’s impossible for

you to reach the super level so quickly just relying on the years in

prison.”

“Let’s not make this about me. You invited us here today to negotiate. This is your turf. Now I’m here,

don’t try to threaten me. If you want to talk, let’s talk. Jessica has said

what she wants. Eight billion dollars. If it’s negotiable for you, let’s negotiate. If it’s

not, then forget it. Then they will decide what to do with the lode, and you’ll just wait

for the dividends,” Gerald said calmly.

“Eight billion dollars? Impossible!” Edric gritted his teeth and said, “Although the lode is worth a lot,

there is no way to figure out the exact number of its worth. It is hard to say whether it is worth 8 billion

dollars or not. Don’t be greedy.”

Gerald shrugged and said, “So it’s not negotiable, right? Then we don’t have a deal!”

After that, he looked at Jessica and said, “Alright, then let’s have the lode to ourselves. And Cale will

have 20 percent of the shares, and we’ll just give him the dividends he

deserves.”

Jessica nodded. “Sure!”

“You!” Jared gritted his teeth and said, “Gerald, you are going too far. The Goldsun Group is funded by

the Thornton family!”

Gerald didn’t want to waste time arguing with him. He looked at them and said, “Let’s move on from

this matter. I have something else to discuss with you.”

Everyone looked at Gerald. They didn’t know what Gerald was up to.

Gerald touched his nose and said with a smile, “I heard that the Thornton family has three Dragon

Bones?”

Dylan’s expression changed, and he said in his old voice, “Who told you that?”

“This is not important,” Gerald said. “Can we trade three Dragon Bones? I’ll give you something else in

exchange!”

Dylan looked at Gerald with a half-smile and said, “Dragon Bones? So, the bones you absorbed are

Dragon Bones?”

Gerald did not deny it and nodded.

Dylan looked gloomy for a while. After a moment, he said, “Like it is possible.”

“Well, I know it is unlikely. Then that’s all.” Gerald waved his hand and said, “Let’s go!”

With that, he stood up.

Beside him, Jessica also stood up.

“Stop!” When Edric saw that Gerald and Jessica were really leaving, he hurriedly growled!

“Why?” Gerald asked, “If we don’t accept your offer, you’re not going to let us leave?”

“Let them go!” Dylan said.

Edric’s expression changed a few times, but he did not refute it. Gerald sneered and walked out with

Jessica.

Outside the door, Gerald noticed that Dave and Riley were standing not far away and looking

expectantly at this small building. When he saw Gerald and Jessica walk out safely, Dave was stunned.

He looked at Gerald and Jessica in shock, having no idea what

was going on.

In Dave’s opinion, even if Jessica was willing to sign this contract, it was impossible for Gerald to walk

out safely. After all, they had closed the door, which meant they were taking action against Gerald.

Dave knew this.

Gerald and Jessica saw Dave and Riley. When they walked past the two men, Gerald

smiled at Dave.

Dave was about to explode with anger. When Gerald and Jessica were far from him, Dave gritted his

teeth and rushed to the small building and asked, “Great-grandfather, grandfather, what is going on?

Why did Gerald leave safe and sound?”

“He is at the super level!” Jared said indifferently.

Dave’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.

“He is at the super level? For sure? How… How is that possible? He looks so young!” Dave asked, “Is

there something we don’t know?”

Jared looked at him indifferently, then looked at Dylan and asked, “Dad, are we just letting him leave

like that?”

Dylan revealed a look of excitement in his eyes. “He can leave just like that. But we must

have this guy. I don’t care who he is. He must be ours. He is able to absorb the Dragon

Bones!”

“Hmm?” Everyone looked at Dylan in confusion.

They couldn’t understand Dylan’s words because they weren’t at the super level.

Dylan seemed to be talking to himself. “Dragon Bone. Dragon Bone! I’ve longed for

them for so many years! Finally, I met this guy. I must catch him and exchange blood

with him!”

As he said this, he looked at Jared and said, “Go, get Gordon here!”

Jared’s eyes lit up. He said, “You are fighting against Gerald together with him?”

Dylan nodded!

Edric sneered, “If you two join hands, no matter how powerful Gerald is, he won’t stand a chance.

When Jessica loses Gerald, who has her back, she will have to give the Goldsun Company to us.’

Gerald and Jessica walked out of the Thornton family’s courtyard. They drove towards the Maddox

family again. In the car, Gerald smiled at Jessica and said, “If the Thornton family asks to talk with you

again, just turn them down and start mining directly!”

Jessica frowned and said, “But words are easy. After I return to Sacramento, you will not be with us. If

the Thornton family does anything to me, I do not…”

Gerald smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry. They won’t do anything to you.”

He added in his heart, the Thornton family … is going to decline!

The Thornton family had such a high position in Washington mainly because most people were not

sure whether Dylan was dead. In addition, the Thornton family had a terrifying amount of wealth.

However, everyone was waiting for its fall!

When Dylan died, the Thornton family would also be finished. At that time, when the news of Dylan’s

death went out, the Thornton family would be in a panic.

Hearing Gerald’s confident words, Jessica felt very secure for some reason.

She turned to look at Gerald, her heart pounding. Then she quickly turned her head and said in her

heart, Jessica, oh Jessica, it seems that you have really been lonely for too long. Such a young man

who is more than ten years younger than you actually made your heart beat faster.

The car moved slowly, and soon, they stopped at the door of Ingrid’s home.

They knocked on the door, and Ingrid came over and opened the door for them. However, Ingrid looked

glum.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing her like this, Gerald asked.

“Leo is here,” Ingrid said with an unhappy expression. “He brought his family here to propose

marriage.”

Gerald was stunned for a moment and said, “Propose marriage? This is too soon. Aren’t you still a

college student?”

“Fuck!” Ingrid did not answer Gerald’s words. She stomped her feet and seemed to be extremely angry.
