Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 257 He Will Protect Me

Seeing Gerald walk in, many people in the Sales Department looked at him.

In the current Sales Department, many people were quite grateful to Gerald. Without Gerald’s large-

scale reduction of staff, most of them would not have had the chance to be promoted!

Catherine saw Gerald come over, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Then she picked up the

information on the table and smiled at Gerald, “You are late again today. Let’s go!”

Gerald did not say much. He followed Catherine downstairs. After walking out of the company, he

stopped in front of the car and said, “Catherine, I’m afraid you have to go alone today.”

“Huh?” Catherine looked at Gerald in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you have anything?”

“No, I have already resigned. You will be in charge of the Maddox family’s matter in the future,”

Gerald said with a smile.

Catherine looked at Gerald with a confused face and asked, “You quit? Why did you quit?”

“I don’t like working.” Gerald smiled and said, “In short, work hard. I told Marty and he would take good

care of you. I will also be in Washington in the future. If your father harasses you, call me. I will help

you beat him up!”

Catherine felt a little upset for no reason. This was too sudden. She looked at Gerald blankly. After a

while, she smiled bitterly and said, “Well, it was too sudden. I’m not prepared!”

Gerald smiled and rubbed her head and said, “It’s okay. Go to Ingrid. They won’t make things difficult

for you. Work hard on what you are doing now. You can be promoted to management in the

company soon.”

Catherine nodded.

Then she smiled sweetly at Gerald and said, “Then I’ll get in the car first. It’s a bit late!”

“Okay!” Gerald said with a smile.

Catherine turned around, got in the car, and started the car.

At this time, the smile on her face disappeared all of a sudden, replaced by sadness!

Although she had only worked with Gerald for a short time, she felt that Gerald had changed too much

of her fate. She did not know when it started, but she felt that she had some dependence on

Gerald.

After watching her leave, Gerald smiled and did not care too much. He got into his own car and

turned on his phone to take a look. Nova had already sent the address to him. She chose a restaurant

that was relatively expensive in Washington.

Gerald drove to the restaurant. When he arrived at a private room, he pushed open the door and found

Nova sitting there.

Her long black hair was casually scattered behind her back, and she was still wearing a long dress,

fully showing her perfect figure.

Gerald was slightly stunned.

“Does it look good?” Nova noticed Gerald’s gaze and seemed to be very satisfied with Gerald’s

reaction. She even stood up and walked around Gerald.

Gerald coughed and said, “Not bad!”

Nova chuckled, then sat down and said, “I have already ordered the dishes. You don’t have any

objections, right?”

“No, I am not picky!” Gerald smiled and said, “Tell me more about the Dragon Bone!”

Nova smiled and shook her head. “There is no need to rush. I want to ask you something. Yesterday,

Saul died and all the Dark Phantom experts were killed. The Dark Phantom was almost destroyed.

Does it have anything to do with you?”

Gerald frowned and looked at her.

Not many people knew about this. Other than the Watchmen, only Leana and Ingrid knew.

Of course, Dax also knew it, but Gerald estimated that Dax should not talk about it.

Leana and Ingrid would definitely report this matter to the family, but… Nova got the news too

suddenly.

He smiled and said, “I guess so. Why are you concerned about them?”

“I was just asking,” Nova smiled and said. “As for the Dragon Bones, they are in Washington.

According to the news, there are a total of six pieces!”

Gerald’s expression slightly changed.

Six pieces! This was a lot.

“Are you sure they are all Dragon Bones?” Gerald asked.

Nova nodded and said, “Abraham had one. Other than that, the Thornton family in Washington has

three pieces: The Frey family has one piece, and the owner of Quadrity has two pieces. The other

three pieces will be a little troublesome to find.”

Gerald’s expression slightly changed. The one in the Frey family might be easier to get. After all, he

knew the Frey family.

The most important thing was that he did not expect that the Thornton family had three pieces in their

hands!

The Thornton family could be regarded as the number one family in Washington. Moreover, after the

last time, Gerald had a lot of trouble with them. It might not be easy to get these three pieces

from them.

“What do you mean it’s a little troublesome to find the other three pieces?” Gerald asked.

“Those people might have been rich in the past, but after a few generations, they have declined. Now,

they have become ordinary people, and we are not sure where the Dragon Bones are now,” Nova said.

“The families I mentioned are ages ago.”

Gerald was speechless, then nodded and said, “Alright. It should be enough after I get the pieces from

them. Thank you!”

“You are welcome. We’re just helping each other. Don’t forget what you promised my grandfather,”

Nova said. “In this life, you have to protect me!”

Gerald was speechless. He found that Nova’s character was somewhat similar to Red Rose. He

suspected that there was some relationship between the two.

She was always flirting, and she was so beautiful. How could a man reject her?

“Bang!”

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

Gerald turned around and found a young man in a suit with a bouquet of flowers in his hand at the

door. After seeing Nova, he looked at Gerald and said with an ugly face, “Nova, who is this? Is he your

boyfriend? What did you mean by asking him to protect you for the rest of your life?”

Gerald looked at this person and frowned slightly.

He didn’t want to continue to be the scapegoat. He quickly said, “Bro, don’t misunderstand. I have

nothing to do with Nova.”

However, the young man who was holding the flowers did not pay attention to Gerald at all. He stared

at Nova and said, “Nova, I got off the plane after returning home. I didn’t even go home and bought

flowers to see you. We have been together since childhood. When you were a child, you said that you

would marry me when you grew up. Tell me who he is!”

Nova glanced at him and then looked at Gerald. She smiled and said, “As you can see, he is the man

who will protect me for a lifetime!”

“Shit!” Gerald cursed in his heart.
