Chapter 83 How Could It Be Her?
Gerald was speechless. What he wanted to say was also what Gerald wanted to say.
At Justin’s side, Tyrone was also there. Tyrone was like a dog at the side of these top rich young guys in
Sacramento. And he seemed to be proud of being the dog of these rich people!
Justin wore a faint smile on his face. He looked at Gerald with disdain, and then said to Daphne,
“Daphne, how do you know such a person? This guy is a rapist, and he even uses drugs. You have to
stay away from him!”
When she heard this, Daphne did not change her expression much. She just pouted her lips and said to
Justin, “Who I am with has nothing to do with you!”
“You have quite a big temper. I said that for your good. You should thank me for that,” Tyrone sighed and
said.
Gerald, who was at the side, was slightly surprised.
When Tyrone mentioned that information, Daphne remained calm, as if she had already
known about it.
In the past, when people, including Audrey, heard Gerald was a rapist, their expressions would change.
They looked very uneasy. In a short period of time, they did not even
know how to communicate with Gerald!
Daphne was not like this. She seemed to have already known.
Justin said with a smile, “Don’t always be sarcastic when you talk to me. After all, we
almost got married. Why don’t you reconsider it? Look, I like you. My father also likes your mother. What
a happy family!”
“Piss off!” Daphne was obviously angry, and her face flickered with anger as she roared.
Gerald frowned slightly and was just about to speak. At this time, a cold voice sounded,
“Justin, don’t go too far.”
The person who spoke was Jessica. She had just walked in from the door!
Jessica had light makeup on and was dressed professionally. She was mature and intellectual. There
seemed to be no trace of time on her face. It seemed that she was just in her early thirties. She was
carrying a bag in her hand, and there was a trace of
coldness on her face!
Justin turned around and looked at her. There was a trace of fear on his face. Then he chuckled and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid, “Jessica, what I said is the truth. You see, you are a single mother. Although you are not short of
money, it is very difficult for you to raise a child alone. Everyone knows that my father has feelings for
you. Moreover…’
Speaking of this, his expression changed slightly, and he continued, “And this way, it can also solve the
problem of your company. You married my father, and let me date Daphne. We’ll become a family. In
business, of course, we can work together.”
Jessica didn’t want to talk with him anymore. She directly took out her mobile phone!
“Come on! I am sorry, okay?” Justin saw her take out the mobile phone and said quickly.
Then, he looked at Gerald and said, “Jessica, let me remind you. Gerald is a guy who seduced Bree nine
years ago. It’s better for you to stay away from him!”
Gerald frowned, and Jessica sneered, “I know better than you what kind of person he is. Hurry up and
get out of here, or I will call your father immediately!”
Justin’s face was glum. He looked at Gerald and said with a gloomy gaze, “Gerald, very
good. We had plenty of time. You are in Sacramento. I will take my time to play with you
slowly!”
Gerald shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Seeing Gerald’s appearance, Justin became even angrier. Justin glanced at Tyrone and said, “Let’s go!”
After they left, Jessica sat down in front of Gerald and frowned. “Gerald, you should stay
away from those rich guys in the future. He is notorious in Sacramento.”
Gerald waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.
Since someone in the Kenneth family had set his father up. And it was an important
reason for Gerald’s imprisonment. Then there was no way to peacefully settle things
between him and the Kenneth family.
Therefore, whether Justin provoked Gerald or not was not that important. It was just that Gerald might
teach Justin a lesson anyway.
Gerald said, “It’s you guys. Just now, Justin said that there is a business competition
between you and the Kenneth family?”
Daphne gnashed her teeth and said, “It is Justin and his father who are doing this. Justin is chasing after
me. And his father is chasing after my mother. We do not agree. They put pressure on us.”
Gerald was stunned. This was really a fucking weird father and son!
However, when Justin saw a beauty, no matter if he could get her or not, he wanted to
give it a try.
Jessica glared at Daphne and said, “Daphne, don’t talk nonsense!”
Then Jessica looked at Gerald and said, “Let’s not talk about work today. We invited you
to dinner mainly to thank you.”
“Do you know what happened nine years ago?” Gerald asked.
Jessica looked at Daphne again. Daphne hurriedly shook her head and said, “Mom, I
didn’t say anything this time!”
Gerald explained, “Justin said this just now. You two didn’t look very surprised. You are so calm that you
seem to know it. Am I right?”
Jessica looked at Gerald in surprise. She did not expect that Gerald could actually think of so many
things through these details.
However, Jessica still nodded and said, “Indeed, I know. Before at the airport, you said
that you were from Sacramento. You have not returned for several years. Daphne is a
little curious about you, so she went online to check your information and found the
previous news.”
Speaking of this, she frowned and said, “But I’m good at reading people. Back then,
when you were willing to help us, I felt that you were not someone who could do such a
thing. Of course, I was just guessing. Moreover, it has been nine years. I did not take it
seriously.”
Gerald was surprised!
Since he returned to Sacramento, anyone who knew about his past would be biased!
Jessica and her daughter were the only people who had no prejudice against him except Jacob.
Ín Gerald’s heart, his good impression of the two people increased again.
Gerald explained, “I was framed. I came back to Sacramento this time to prove my innocence. In fact, I
don’t care much about this now. I just don’t want my parents to be looked down upon by relatives and
friends!”
Jessica was stunned. She pursed her red lips and said, “I have some connections in Sacramento. If you
need my help, call me at any time.”
Gerald nodded!
At the same time, in an office building in Sacramento, there was a huge conference room. Twenty to
thirty people were sitting in the conference room!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenley was also among them.
However, she sat at the back of the table.
The people sitting in this conference room were the mainstays of the Kenneth family or
some of the upper echelons of the Zumthor family’s companies!
In the main seat, there was an old man sitting in a wheelchair. Even though he was
sitting in a wheelchair, he still had a sense of dignity.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man. The man looked dignified, and he was the
current leader of the Zumthor family. He was also Henley’s father, Corbin Zumthor!
His gaze slowly swept over everyone. Then there came a sound.
He slammed a document on the table and looked around at everyone. “All of you think
carefully about who offended Leandro, that bastard! And who offended the people from
New Bank? Think about it now!
“All five of our big projects have been taken away by Universe Group. We can’t accept
the price they offered. Moreover, the New Bank has suddenly terminated cooperation
with us.” He glared and roared, “Do you know how much we will lose?”
Below, Henley’s expression suddenly changed!
The news came too suddenly.
Of course, Henley did not think about how much damage this would bring to his family. He was thinking
now that such a huge change had occurred in his family business, would his engagement party with
Doreen be able to proceed smoothly tomorrow?
As for the crisis that his family had encountered, he believed that his family would definitely be able to
survive.
Henley did not expect that the one who brought such a huge crisis to his family was
himself!
At this time, a person stood up and said, “I’ll ask the people inside New Bank about it. The manager of
New Bank is called Keira. She just transferred from Los Angeles. The one who proposed to terminate
our cooperation is a diamond card user of New Bank, but he did not show up. I don’t know who it is!”
“Keira? How could it be her?” When Henley heard this, his face changed slightly.
Corbin looked at him and asked, “Do you know her?”
“She is Doreen’s best friend!” Henley quickly said.
