Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 142 Take Audrey Home

Holden had thick dark circles under his eyes.

As the current in-charge person of the Kenneth Group, Holden had not slept much for nearly four days,

so he looked exhausted.

He worked all out to negotiate with various parties and discuss countermeasures.

However, the various parties were all very determined and had no hint of easing the tension.

No matter how hard he tried, Holden couldn’t stop the falling stock price of the Kenneth farmily

Hearing Caspian called out his name, Holden took a deep breath. His gaze swept across the

others and said, “Everyone should have known about this matter Starting from Monday, with the

lead of Universe Group and New Bank, many banks joined together and conducted all-around

attacks on us, almost taking over all the industries of our family. We have communicated with

many of them, but they either refused or had a tough attitude

Speaking of this, he sighed and then said, “As for the specific reason, we still don’t have a clue

Everyone from the Kenneth family fell into silence

Holden said, “I don’t know how long this process will last Everyone is suffering a loss. Now, it is nothing

more than throwing money to see who cannot hang on longer

Justin sat in a corner calmly His hand was still wrapped in bandages.

His hand was injured by the broken glass at the seafood restaurant, and it had not healed yet

Justin did not show much interest in what Holden said.

Justin knew that there was no way for him to inherit the family. He was the second her in name, but he

was aware that Cole was the one who had the control power of the family

Therefore, Justin did not care too much about it but just sat there and watched calmly

Holden continued, “We guess that Universe Group worked together with the various banks and did this.

The conflicts between Universe Group and us always exist Some companies that have cooperated with

us are also helping in this couple of days

“Is Leandro crazy?” On Holden’s left, a member of the Kenneth family frowned and said. “It doesn’t do

any good to Universe Group. Its market value has been falling recently

“I wonder what he is thinking,” Holden said, “but I have a bold idea. ”

“Huh?” Everyone looked at him.

Holden said, “I know that it is close to impossible, but I have to think about it this way. Leandro has some

connections with Mason, who was driven out of the family by us. It was not until Leandro took charge of

Universe Group that Mason started working at Universe Group. Gerald, who committed a crime of rape

nine years ago, returned to Sacramento and successfully worked int Universe Group

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and then said, “So I suspect that this matter has something

to do with Mason and Gerald

“That’s impossible!” Beside Holden, another member of the Kenneth family sneered and said, “We all

know what Mason and Gerald are Mason was quite good in our family back then, but that’s all. We are

fully aware of his background. As for Gerald, he had been in prison for nine years. He could work at

Universe Group probably because of Mason. How can Leandro lose the entire Universe Group for

Mason and Gerald?”

Another person said, “Yeah, I think so. Also, Leandro is in no position to do so. It seems that he

doesn’t have shares in Universe Group, right?”

“This is what we are puzzled about as well. So it is just a guess.” Holden said, “Other than that, I

can’t think of the reason why Leandro took action against us.”

“What about New Bank?” Someone else asked.

“Well, we don’t have any idea,” Holden said, “After this incident, we contacted Sterling, but Sterling

did not care about it at all. Yesterday, we asked for help from Mr Dobbin, the head of the Dobbin

family, hoping to leverage the Diamond Card to stop New Bank from targeting us. But it was

rejected by New Bank.”

None of the news that came out of Holden’s mouth was good.

With this news, everyone was a little depressed.

They were on the Kenneth family’s boat. If the Kenneth family’s estate shrank, they would be

affected as well.

Just then, Caspian let out a breath and said, “In short, what happened has already happened. Now, we

have two options. One is to shrink our estate. Give up some less important industries and sell them to

protect the most important industries. Two, fight against Universe Group to the end. However, option two

might result in a loss-loss situation. Currently, Leandro looks like a mad dog. He doesn’t care about

anything at all. So, let’s vote”

Everyone’s expressions became gloomy Most of them chose to shrink and give up something that was

not so important.

“Okay. The resolution is passed.” Holden let out a breath and said, “The next thing is about the

end-of-year meeting that is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, whether it should be held as scheduled

or not. Most of the invitations have been sent out.”

Caspian said calmly. “Naturally, it should be held as scheduled. This is the image of the Kenneth family.

Let those guys in Sacramento think it over that even so, the Kenneth family is still stable as

usual.

Another day passed by quietly At 6:00 pm on Friday. Gerald waited for Audrey to come

downstairs from Keira s apartment

He had to take Audrey home to deal with his parents

Soon, Gerald saw Audrey come over from afar When he saw her Gerald was slightly stunned.

Audrey, who rarely put on makeup, was carefully dressed up. She put on light makeup, which made her

delicate face flawless. The hemline of her dress reached her knees, revealing her fair calves.

She held a handbag with two small boxes in her hand

When Audrey saw Gerald, she smiled slightly She walked in front of Gerald, turned around, and asked,

“How do I look like? I’m pretty, right?”

Gerald’s Adam’s apple rolled. He said, “Sure, you are pretty Don’t give yourself away later”

“Don’t worry “As Audrey spoke, she handed the two small boxes to Gerald Then she held Gerald’s

arm and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go to see my future parents-in-law

Gerald wondered, shit! She is in character so quickly

He took the two wooden boxes and frowned. “What are these?”

“These are gifts for your parents. A necklace for your mother and a watch for your father” Speaking of

this, Audrey’s heart ached, and she said, “They cost me tens of thousands of dollars!”

“That much?” Gerald asked in surprise

“Well, just take it as a favor in return.” Audrey curled her lips and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to

make it more realistic? This is generous enough, isn’t it?”

Gerald smiled and said, “Absolutely

He stopped a tax, and then they headed for the Kenneth’s house

When they reached the door of the Kenneths house. Gerald paused for a moment. Then, a strange

expression appeared on his face

He heard that there were many people in the house.

“Why hasn’t he come yet?” Mason’s voice was heard from the inside.

“Come on, Mason. Why are you so anxious? Didn’t he just call and say that he was on the way

home?”

This was Gerald’s grandmother’s voice

Other than that, Gerald also heard Jolie, Lilia. There were at least seven or eight people in the

house

He was going crazy

Gerald had thought that he was just bringing Audrey to meet his parents. He had not expected his

parents to bring most of their relatives over

“What’s up? I am not even shy, but you are ” Audrey saw Gerald stopping his footsteps and asked in

surprise

Gerald looked at Audrey and said, “This is too difficult. My home There seem to be many people

inside”

Audrey curled her lips and said, “So what? It is not like I am not presentable Just go in openly”

With that, Audrey became serious and then revealed a hint of a smile. Thus, she had changed from a

mischievous girl to a gentle and virtuous lady

Gerald was slack-jawed

When he first met Audrey. Audrey was reticent, like a cold goddess.

After contacting her in private, he found that Audrey was completely different from before She

was a little mischievous and quick-witted.

Now she came to meet Gerald’s parents, and she turned into a soft and virtuous lady

Gerald sighed in his heart, it is a pity that you are not an actress. Then he took a deep breath.

Gerald led Audrey to walk toward the door of his house

He opened the door with the key When the door was pushed open, it suddenly fell silent inside

Everyone inside looked toward the door, including Yazmin, who was busy in the kitchen.

When they saw Audrey, who held Gerald’s arm, entering the house, everyone was stunned.

“She is so beautiful,” Jolie murmured.
