Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 51 Frame

Phillip and Matthew stood up from their seats and walked out of the banquet hall.

When they arrived at a place with no one around, Phillip looked at Matthew and said, “What’s wrong with

that brat? Didn’t the rumor say that he was a laborer? How did he manage to take out 200 thousand

dollars?”

“What the hell do I know? He is strange,” Matthew cursed from the side. “Didn’t you ask why he

provoked Fletcher and was still safe and sound? In fact, Fletcher did take revenge on him.”

“Huh? Did he escape?” Phillip raised his eyebrows and asked. “Or was he saved by Audrey?”

“That day, he was caught in Fletcher’s workshop. In front of over 20 people, he almost beat Fletcher to

death,” Matthew swallowed his saliva and said.

“You mean… Fletcher was beaten by him?” Phillip asked, stunned.

“Yes, he is vicious and merciless. His fighting skills aren’t bad. He smashed Fletcher’s head with a bottle

and then poured a glass of wine on him. Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end,” Matthew

gritted his teeth and said.

Phillip shivered when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, “How dare he hurt Fletcher? Is that

brat a rich and powerful person?”

“Not really. He is indeed a laborer. This can be proven by Adriel’s previous girlfriend, but that brat is

ruthless. If we really piss him off, I’m afraid he’ll do something bad to us. I don’t wanna fight with him as I

know I’ll be the one who suffers,” Matthew said.

Phillip’s expression suddenly became a bit gloomy and uncertain.

He pulled Matthew out to ask Gerald’s background, and then he would play dirty tricks on Gerald.

But now, hearing what Matthew said, he began to panic.

“And he is like the plague or something,” Matthew looked at the banquet hall and whispered. “The first to

provoke

him was me and Adriel, and then we were beaten up by Decker.

“Then Decker provoked him. It was said that he was beaten up badly in some place yesterday. He’s still

in the intensive

care unit now, and I don’t know if he can be saved.

“After that, it was Fletcher. He was also beaten up. Besides, this morning, I was in his factory. He then

received a call

from his father, and his expression was very gloomy. He even asked us who was willing to take over his

factory. I

suspect that something might have happened to Fletcher’s family,” Matthew said in a low voice.

Phillip’s expression changed. After a while, he snorted and said, “I don’t believe in these things. As long

as he has no background, it is fine. Moreover, my father is the leader of New Bank in Los Angeles.

Maybe he is not as rich as you

guys, but his status is completely different.”

As he spoke, his face flashed with pride.

Although Matthew did not want to admit it, he had to admit that Phillip’s father, the leader of New Bank in

Los Angeles, enjoyed high social status.

Phillip asked in a low voice, “How do you think he got 200 thousand dollars? Did he use more money

after he took out

200 thousand dollars?”

Matthew shook his head. “The money is not his. Adriel’s ex–girlfriend said that when Gerald divorced, he

was poor. However, he seems to be very close to Audrey recently. I think he borrowed 200 thousand

dollars from Audrey.”

“It’s good that he doesn’t have money. I’ll torture him to death later,” Phillip licked his lips and said. “I

remember

that there are three very expensive bottles of red wine sealed in Glory Club!”

Inside the banquet hall, Gerald sat calmly in his seat. He did not chat with others at the table. At this

time, many people in the banquet hall were discussing the matter of him buying a bracelet for Keira.

200 thousand dollars were much beyond their reach.

Behind Gerald was the table where Audrey and Henley were sitting. Their conversation could be heard

clearly by

Gerald.

They did not talk about the bracelet. Henley seemed to feel a little embarrassed and took the initiative to

change the topic. “Right, you probably don’t know yet. Something happened to Fletcher’s family.”

“What?” Audrey’s eyes flashed as she asked. “What is it?”

Fletcher’s family was her family’s main competitor in Los Angeles.

Henley let out a breath and said, “I was with Fletcher this morning. He asked me to support him. It seems

that his family suddenly has cash–flow problems. Several partners would rather break the contract to

stop cooperation with them. The major banks cut off loans at the same time, so they don’t have money to

continue several projects. The funds are completely insufficient. It is estimated that they will be declared

bankrupt in a few days.”

“Damn, all of a sudden?” a person on the table asked in surprise.

In Los Angeles, the McHale family was the real top family on par with Bradley.

This news came as quite a shock.

Audrey was also stunned. She could not help but glance at Gerald. For some reason, she felt that this

matter might be

related to Gerald.

A smile appeared on Gerald’s lips. For a Watchman, the McHale family was no match for him.

He did not care too much about it. The McHale family would do anything to do the business. It could be

seen from the injury on Kaven’s hand.

Moreover, Fletcher was also a hector in Los Angeles. They only had themselves to blame for their

bankruptcy.

When Fletcher’s family was rich, he bullied countless people. On the day of bankruptcy, no one knew

how many people would deal with him. He could not continue to harass Gerald.

As Gerald was thinking, Matthew and Phillip returned to their seats. When Matthew saw Gerald, he

shrank his neck slightly. There was still a trace of fear in his eyes!

As for Phillip, a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

Nothing happened when they dined. After eating, they went to Glory Club to have fun.

Of course, there was a small group of people who chose to leave, such as Matthew.

After eating, he left without even saying goodbye to Keira.

There were about 25 people left, each driving toward Glory Club.

In a luxurious private room of Glory Club, a large group of people sat down. Countless snacks and beer

began to be served in the private room.

As a person who often went to nightclubs, Hazel was the key to liven things up. With her, the atmosphere

in the room

soon began to be lively.

Audrey was pulled by Doreen and the others to play games over there and drink some wine.

Keira was constantly chatting with her friends.

As for Gerald, he was not very familiar with the others. He found a place to sit down, then picked up a

bottle of wine and a glass, and drank it.

Not far away, Phillip looked at Gerald, licked his lips, and laughed sinisterly.

When the atmosphere began to heat up, Phillip walked out, closed the door, took out his phone, and

made a call.

A few minutes later, a waiter carrying a bottle of wine with a tray carefully walked over. He walked to the

door of the private room and saw Phillip. He said, “Mr. Nielsen, this is the wine you ordered, Silent Boat.”

Phillip licked his lips and said, “Didn’t David explain it to you? Did you see the person sitting there?”

He pointed at Gerald.

Then, he whispered something into the waiter’s ear. After the waiter heard this, he nodded and said, “Got

it.”

Then, he pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Everyone was having fun, singing and playing games. They did not notice the waiter coming in at all. The

waiter walked up to Gerald and placed the wine in front of Gerald. “Sir, Silent Boat, the wine you ordered,

is very expensive, so you have to pay immediately. It is a total of 318 thousand dollars. Today is your

birthday. Our boss wanted to give you a discount, so it will be 316 thousand dollars. Are you paying by

card?”

Gerald raised his eyebrows and looked at the waiter doubtfully. He said calmly, “You must be mistaken.”

Just as the waiter was about to speak, a sound came from the microphone.

Phillip had walked into the room. He held the microphone in his hand and exclaimed, “This is the 1907

Piper–Heidsieck, Silent Boat. It is the treasure of Glory Club. Gerald, you are really generous. You are

actually willing to open a bottle for Keira’s birthday. This is the world’s top wine worth nearly 320

thousand dollars!”
