Slumdog billionaire husband novel (Gerald Kenneth)

Chapter 102 Slander?

As the car drove on, Yazmin was still a little worried.

This was Gerald's grandmother's 80th birthday, so a lot of relatives would definitely come

In fact, they could feel that since Gerald had an accident, many people had bad attitudes toward them, of course, except when borrowing money

The Kenneth family had almost cut off ties with them. Yazmin's relatives were slightly better, but

they were also quite unsatisfied

Because Mason was the president of Universe Group, many relatives wanted to get their children into Universe Group. After Mason refused, they were not happy, including Lilia and Jolie Although they did not say anything, they must be upset in their hearts.

Now that Gerald came back, his matter would inevitably be mentioned by others.

Mason and Yazmin were worried that Gerald would not be able to stand it and would quarrel with

others in anger

"Whatever they say, you just need to ignore them," Yazmin continued.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm already an adult," Gerald said with a smile

Yazmin nodded. Then she thought of something and said, "By the way, when we go over this time,

your uncle will introduce a girl to you. You can try to get along with her, okay?"

Gerald was stunned and said, "Well I don't want to."

Gerald did not tell his parents about his marriage. He chose to hide everything in Los Angeles. If he

told them, they would be more worried.

"Come on, you won't lose anything by meeting her," Yazmin said. "Maybe the girl is a good person. You should take the initiative. That girl is your aunt's relative. I have seen her once. She is quite

beautiful."

Gerald was vexed, but he understood his parents.

He was 27 In his parents' eyes, he had been in prison for nine years, so it was not easy for him to find a girlfriend.

So they just wanted Gerald to find a wife early.

Gerald thought that he should let Keira or Audrey pretend to be his girlfriend.

Otherwise, after dealing with this girl, there would definitely be a next one.

He touched his nose.

At around eleven o'clock, they arrived at the entrance of the hotel on time. Because it was early. there were not many people at the entrance.

At the entrance, there was a line of words

"Congratulations to Rayne Rowe for her 80th birthday

At the door. Jadon, Gerald's uncle, was standing there. When he saw Gerald and the others coming over, he smiled and greeted them. Jadon patted Gerald on the shoulder and said, "Gerald, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are getting stronger and stronger

Gerald smiled, "Hello, Jadon."

Jadon was obviously a person with a high EQ. In front of Gerald, he didn't mention anything. He smiled and said, "Go in and see your grandmother. She has been talking about you for a long time." Gerald nodded with a smile and walked into the hotel with his parents.

On the second floor, there were already many people sitting inside, including Lilia and her family They were sitting at a table, surrounded by an old woman with grey hair. She was Rayne, Gerald's grandmother

Jolie, her family, Kyler Cope, and Norah Cope were all there. Kyler and Norah were Jadon s children

and Gerald's cousins.

In addition, Drake was also present, and they were talking and laughing.

Gerald walked up to Rayne with a smile. Then he lowered his head and said softly, "Grandma, I'm

back."

The crowd that was originally chatting happily suddenly quieted down.

Some people looked at Gerald.

Rayne's wrinkled face instantly froze. As she looked at the smiling Gerald, her eyes began to turn red. Trembling, she stood up and grabbed Gerald's hand, saying, "Let Grandma take a closer look at you."

Gerald was somewhat moved.

He was a person who valued relationships. He would definitely repay those who treated him well.

His grandmother had once been very kind to him, and Gerald had always remembered it in his

heart He smiled and said, I'm sorry for making you worry about me"

Rayne was in tears. She pulled Gerald's hand and said, "It s good that you're back. I'm so happy Now, our family is intact

Kyler pursed his lips and snorted coldly.

"Please sit," Gerald hurriedly said.

Rayne sat down, but she kept holding Gerald's hand, unwilling to let go of it

Old people were like this. Gerald had disappeared for nine years before returning. It was as if she

was afraid that Gerald would run away again.

Gerald smiled, looked at Kyler and Norah, and said, "Hello, Kyler and Norah."

Norah, who had a strange expression, said with sarcasm, "Gerald, luckily, your dad is capable and

rich, so my dad is willing to introduce a girl to you. If your family background were a little worse, you would be finished. It's good that you're back now Be a good person and don't do those illegal things again."

Gerald's expression changed slightly. He did not argue with Norah and sat down next to Rayne

Gradually, there were more people in the hotel. Most of them were relatives. Because they had not

seen each other for a long time, many people did not know Gerald. However, most people knew him. After all, the things that happened nine years ago caused an uproar When they saw Gerald, they began to privately discuss him. Gerald could naturally hear these rumors, but he did not care

too much.

He sat at the table and chatted with his grandmother

After a while, Rayne pointed at Drake and said, "You don't know him, right? He is Jolie's boyfriend."

Gerald touched his nose and said, "Grandma, I already know him.”

Drake chuckled and said in a mocking tone, "Yes, not only do we know each other, but Gerald also

made me lose a deal worth more than 16 million dollars."

"Eh?" At the table, everyone looked at Drake.

Jolie pulled the corner of Drake's clothes, yet Drake ignored it. He smiled, "A few days ago, I went. to Gerald's house with Jolie and Lilia. After knowing that I was doing business, maybe Gerald was. jealous. He didn't want my business to grow, so he ruined my cooperation with Ms. Lange of

Goldsun Group.

"Gerald seems to be close to Ms. Lange," Drake continued. "He called Ms. Lange and told her not

to cooperate with me"

Gerald frowned.

Beside him, Jolie s face was sullen. She was about to say something, but Lilia broke in

sarcastically. "Gerald has just come out of jail, so he probably won't make much money in his life Seeing Jolie find such a good boyfriend, Gerald must be jealous

Rayne was stunned and looked at Gerald

Kyler looked at Gerald and said, "Gerald, you are a little unkind."

Drake waved his hand and said, "It's okay It's just worth tens of millions of dollars. As long as I

have this project, it's easy to find a partner I just want to say that it's really not good for you to do

this, Gerald."

"Really?" Rayne frowned and looked at Gerald.

Gerald knitted his brows and looked at Drake "Drake, today is my grandma's 80th birthday I don't want to have any arguments with you. There are some things you shouldn't say in front of the elders. I'm afraid you will embarrass yourself Moreover, your lousy company is not qualified to make me jealous."

Norah sneered, "What? You've done bad things, but you don't allow others to mention them? Nine years ago, you made your family lose face. Jolie finally found a rich boyfriend. Maybe our whole. family will get some benefits. So you can't bear to see it? Lousy company? Aren't you relying on Mason? Can you find a job on your own?"

Gerald touched his nose

This entire family sided with outsiders. This was something that Gerald had not expected. Perhaps Jolie's family had received a lot of benefits since Jolie and Drake started dating Although Gerald was their cousin, the incident nine years ago had completely ruined their

impressions of him.

Gerald pursed his lips and looked meaningfully at Drake and Lilia. Then Gerald took out his phone.

from his pocket

At this time, Jolie said, "Drake, Mom, stop it. Back then, Drake and I were able to meet Jessica

because of Gerald"

"Huh?" Lilia and Drake were both stunned. Obviously, they did not expect Jolie to speak up

Gerald

Drake's expression was somewhat ugly. He stared at Jolie.

for

Jolie pursed her lips and said, "When Drake and I went to see Jessica that day, she mentioned this. Maybe Drake was thinking about the project and didn't hear it. Rayne suddenly looked at Lilia and Drake and then said, "Gerald helped you, but you still falsely. accused him. How could you do that?"

Drake and Lilia's faces were full of embarrassment.

Lilia quickly pulled Jolie and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Be rational." Jolie shook her head and said, "Gerald did help us with this matter. We can't slander

him."

Her confirmation made the atmosphere a little awkward again.

Kyler quickly said, "Alright, alright, since you've made things clear, there's no need to continue this

topic Today is Grandma's 80th birthday. Don't talk about these unhappy things. By the way. Grandma, this is the birthday present I prepared for you."

Gerald was upset but could do nothing about it. Just now, when Drake mentioned this matter, Kyler

even helped to ridicule Gerald. Now that the situation was reversed, Kyler took the initiative to

change the topic

Sure enough, the prejudice is still too strong, Gerald sighed silently in his heart.
