Chapter 118 Black Gold Membership Card

In fact, Gerald had no intention of responding to Holden’s requests at all.

Holden wanted him to drop his investigation.

Why should he?

Holden threatened him. However, Gerald had been threatened by those big families several times, and

he took none of them seriously. The assets Gerald now owned worldwide were no less than that of the

Kenneth family

What was more, Gerald had Night Watch as his backup.

As for the second thing Holden mentioned, it was essentially his pleading for Mason’s help, since the

competition between Universe Group and the Kenneth family had become too much for the Kenneth

family. Yet Holden made it sound like he was doing Mason a favor.

And all Gerald and Mason got was the right to become part of the Kenneth family again.

How ridiculous!

Someone set Gerald up nine years ago, which was the reason why Gerald got locked up. If he had.

not joined Night Watch, he would have been imprisoned forever.

Mason was kicked out of the family. What was more, when he was trying to find a job in

Sacramento after that, the Kenneth family interfered. They knew how capable Mason was, and

they were worried that Mason would start his own business and affect them.

Those were not the best years for Mason. He was only doing better until Gerald owned Universe

Group.

Therefore, Gerald was not interested in being part of the Kenneth family again at all. Quite

contrarily, Gerald hated the Kenneth family’s guts.

He didn’t bother to talk to those from the Kenneth family anymore, since any words would be

unnecessary Therefore, he asked Mason to leave with him.

Mason was slightly stunned. Yet he knew what Gerald was thinking judging from Gerald’s words. Though

he was worried, he preferred to let Gerald make the decision. After all, Gerald wanted to clear his name,

and that was what Mason wanted as well.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Cole slapped the table abruptly. Then he said, “Gerald,

remember, we are in Sacramento!”

Gerald raised his head, looked at Cole, and then looked at Holden and Stephen next to them. He

said indifferently, “You don’t want me to look into it. Are you feeling guilty about something?”

“Guilty?” Holden smiled and said. “There is nothing to be guilty about. The matter had already happened,

and you were sentenced. There’s nothing you can do to undo it. We just figure that it has been nine

years, and you’ve been released. The Cousy family wants you to drop it as well for Bree’s sake. Of

course, you may choose to continue. However, you should bear the consequences

in mind.”

Gerald chuckled.

He thought, consequences? I’ve heard threats like this all my life.

I don’t even bother to talk back. Anyway, whatever you people from the Kenneth family are

planning, just come at me. I won’t show mercy.

I don’t want to waste my time on you. I’m not here to negotiate with you. The only reason I’m here

is that I’m worried about Dad. I have to bring him back.

“Dad, let’s go,” Gerald said with a smile.

Mason nodded and stood up.

Cole sneered, “Gerald, we’ve already ordered the food for you. The bottle of wine here costs 50

thousand dollars. Along with those dishes, the meal today will be roughly 64 thousand dollars.

Since you don’t appreciate our good intentions, pay the bill for you and your father before you go!”

Cole waved his hand and said, “Waitress!”

A beautiful waitress who served them specifically at the door came in and asked, “What can I do for

you?”

“We go Dutch for this meal. Those two people here are leaving. Do the math and charge them,” Cole

said calmly.

Mason turned to look at them.

64 thousand dollars was nothing to Cole and the others. Cole only did this, because he wanted to upset

Mason and Gerald.

Mason frowned.

Cole sneered, “Mason, don’t tell me you don’t even have 16 thousand dollars.”

The waitress looked embarrassed, but she still looked at Gerald and Mason and said, “It will be 70

thousand dollars in total. Since Mr. Holden is a Platinum member here, you can get a 30% discount in

total.”

“The card is for us, not them. Deduct their part,” Cole said.

Mason pulled a long face. He did nothing but show up, and he never touched the food on the table.

However, those from the Kenneth family were asking him and Gerald to pay 16 thousand dollars.

How unreasonable was that?

Gerald looked at the waitress and then looked at Cole next to him. Then he took out a black card with

gold linings from his pocket and calmly placed it in front of the beautiful waitress.

The beautiful waitress was stunned and then quickly said, “This way, please!”

Gerald put away the card and walked out with Mason.

Since Gerald had his back to the others, they did not get to see what had happened. Seeing that Gerald

and Mason left without paying, Cole hurriedly shouted, “Why are you letting them go? I told you. We will

go Dutch for this meal. Are you going to let us pay for them?”

The waitress quickly said, “They have the Black Gold Membership Card issued by our restaurant,

which means they don’t have to pay.”

“The Black Gold Membership Card?” Cole was stunned. “How could he have that? Aren’t you going

to verify?”

The others were stunned as well. They even felt like dreaming.

Gerald and Cole had the Black Gold Membership Card issued by Splendor Restaurant.

None of them had that

Next to them, Holden frowned and said, “It should be Leandro’s. Leandro is friends with Harper, the

restaurant’s owner Everyone knows Leandro has a Black Gold Membership Card from here.”

Cole snorted coldly. He was quite unhappy to see Gerald and Mason leaving so easily.

Bree gritted her teeth and looked at Armand. She said, “Armand, I’ll excuse myself for a while.”

Armand sighed and did not say anything. Bree got up and walked out.

Seeing Bree leave, Stephen shook his wine glass and looked at Holden beside him. He said, “He has

been in prison for nine years. Of course, he is holding some grudge. So…”

Holden let out a breath and looked at Armand. He said indifferently, “Armand, go out for a while.”

Armand frowned.

Holden smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We have promised to cooperate with you, and we will not go

back on our word. With this project, I’m sure your family can survive the crisis.”

“Thank you, Holden.” As Armand spoke, he stood up and left the room.

The world was full of changes. The Cousy family used to be prestigious in Sacramento. Yet after nine

years, they now had to make compromises. They wanted to become relatives with the Zumthor family

through marriage at first However, the Zumthor family was also in trouble. Therefore, they had no choice

but to cooperate with the Kenneth family

After seeing Armand leave, Holden glanced at Stephen and said indifferently, “Make it clean. Leave

no traces.”

“Don’t worry “Holden shook the wine glass in his hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly

raised, revealing a sinister smile

Gerald and Mason walked towards the first floor. Mason frowned as he asked, “Gerald, how could

you have the Black Gold Membership Card here?”

“Well. Leandro gave it to me. Everyone here knows him, and it’s of no use to him. He gets to eat here for

free just by showing up. So, he gave the card to me, saying that I can eat here with my

friends,” Gerald said.

Gerald figured that he could always use Leandro as an excuse anyway

Mason glanced at Gerald suspiciously.

As they talked, they walked to the door. Gerald frowned and said, “Dad, don’t talk to the Kenneth

family from now on. Whatever they say, or whenever they invite you to a meal, or something else, just

ignore them. I have my plans. With Leandro here, they dare not do anything to me.”

Mason nodded and sighed, “I’m still a bit worried. That’s why I’m here today”

He said, pressing the key, “Let’s go home.”

Gerald nodded. Suddenly, a voice came from behind Gerald. “Gerald!”

Gerald turned around and found Bree standing at the door, dressed in a knee-length black dress.

She was like a goddess, calling his name.

Gerald’s expression changed slightly He looked at Mason and said, “Dad, you may go ahead. I’ll

take a taxi myself later.”

Mason nodded, got into the car, and started the car.

After Mason left, Bree walked to Gerald. Her eyes were full of complex emotions. She pursed her

lips and said, “Let’s go somewhere and talk.”
