Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 208 To Help Adriana

Cassidy had never thought that Gerald would appear in this place.

It was Washington. Cassidy was shocked to meet Gerald on the street.

The young man, who had stopped Adriana, walked over and looked at Gerald with a forced smile. “Are

you Gerald? Let me introduce myself. My name is Cassius Tucker. I am the successor of the Tucker

family in Washington.”

Gerald looked up at him and said flatly, “The Tucker family? What’s it?”

Cassius was stunned and then sneered, “You bumpkin! Although the Tucker family is not as huge and

wealthy as the Lam family and the Maddox family in Washington, it can handle the Kenneth family in

Sacramento without difficulty. Do you understand?”

“It has nothing to do with the Kenneth family, okay?” Gerald curled his lips. Then, he turned to look at

Cassidy and said, “What are you doing here? Have you forgotten the last lesson?”

“She is my woman. I won’t allow you to bully her anymore.” Cassius gave a mocking smile.

Gerald looked at Cassius with a faint smile. “Then, do you know Cassidy’s relationship with Kerr and

other men? It seems that she has been together with many other men before.”

“How dare you!” Cassius’s face clouded over.

Gerald chuckled. Then, he held Adriana’s arm and said softly, “Let’s go. Cassidy has two faces. She is

untruthful. You’d better ignore her when you meet her again in the future. It is not worth you kneeling

before her.”

Adriana nodded.

Gerald turned to look at Cassidy and said in a flat voice, “You probably have no idea how ordinary people

live. No matter how hard they work, they probably don’t have enough money to raise their families. They

might even be despised by their families, relatives, and friends.

“Well, I shouldn’t have said those words. After all, you are such a selfish and shallow woman. You sell

your body to live a good life and are not ashamed of yourself at all. Instead, you use the money and

power you get to bully other people. Last time, I gave Kerr a face. He said that he only fired you and did

not stop you from joining other companies. Who is more powerful? Kerr? Or your new boyfriend? I’m

curious about how competent your new boyfriend is.”

Cassidy’s expression suddenly changed. She shouted, “Gerald, what are you going to do?”

Gerald chuckled. He looked at Cassidy and said, “I don’t know what happened between you and

Adriana. I only see how you bullied her. Keep what I said just now in your mind. Didn’t you want Adriana

to kneel before you? I won’t let you off this time. Otherwise, you kneel before Adriana.”

Cassius sneered, “Don’t put on airs!”

“You can have a try.” Gerald wore a calm expression.

After that, he said to Adriana, “Let’s go.”

He walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi.

Cassidy watched him leave with her eyes full of worry. She stared at Cassius and asked, “What

should I do?”

Cassius gave a titter and replied, “Take it easy. If it were Kerr, maybe I would be a little afraid.

Gerald is only an employee of Universe Group. Even though he is on good terms with Mr. Lam, the

latter won’t help him all the time. He is just a useless man. You don’t need to take his words

seriously.”

Cassidy was extremely worried.

She didn’t expect to meet Gerald here. She wondered, what bad luck it is!

Gerald didn’t care about Cassidy’s thoughts. The latter changed his opinion about beautiful women.

Cassidy was hypocritical and cunning. No matter how beautiful she was, she was disgusting.

In the taxi, Gerald looked at Adriana next to him and frowned. “It’s midnight. You are a celebrity. How

could you come out like this?”

Adriana’s body trembled slightly, and then she began to sob.

With his brows knitted, Gerald looked at Adriana and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened? Since we

have known each other, I don’t mind giving you a hand. If you have any problems, you can tell me. I will

do my best to help you.”

After a while, Adriana finally calmed herself down.

She took off her sunglasses. With her mask on, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and

said to Gerald, “I received a call from Universe Group before. They wanted me to play a role in the file

they invested in.”

Gerald had heard about it.

Adriana smiled bitterly and continued, “It has been a few years since I last acted in a film. It’s a good

chance for me to appear in public once again. So, I agreed. Everything went smoothly at the beginning.

The director is nice.”

As she said, she let out a sigh. “The deputy director called me and asked me to come to the hotel today.

He said there were some problems with the script and wanted to discuss them with me, so I

came over.

“In the beginning, we indeed talked about the script. However, the deputy director sent the others away

two hours later. I wanted to leave as well, but he … stopped me. He…” Adriana’s eyes turned

red again.

Gerald’s expression turned cold as he asked, “Did he take advantage of you?”

Adriana said, “He tried to do so, but I ran out after hitting his head with the ashtray. Not long after I left

the hotel, I met Cassidy. According to her, Cassius was behind the matter. He wanted to take a picture of

me being intimate with the deputy director and then put it on the Internet. He was meant to destroy me.”

Gerald was dumbfounded. He knew some people in the entertainment industry were shameless, but he

seemed to underestimate how shameless they were.

“What is the name of the deputy director?” Gerald asked.

Adriana pursed her lips and said, “I really appreciate you for saving me. I don’t want to put you in

trouble.”

“The film is invested by Universe Group. It is not difficult for me to fire a deputy director. No one will

offend me because of such a trifle in the group. You don’t need to worry about me,” Gerald said

indifferently.

“His name is Zane Dobson,” Adriana said as a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes.

Gerald rubbed his nose and then muttered, “Zane Dobson? Alright, I got it.”

“Gerald, you help me a lot. Thank you so much.” Adriana pursed her lips gently under the mask.

Gerald said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about it.”

The taxi stopped at the entrance of a neighborhood about 20 minutes later. After getting out of the car,

Adriana blushed and asked, “How about having a drink at my home?”

Gerald’s heartbeat quickened.

He cast a glance at Adriana’s red face. Obviously, her words had some hidden meaning.

Looking at Adriana, Gerald also felt a little excited.

All of a sudden, the people at his home occurred to him. If he went back too late, Valery probably would

be angry.

He cleared his throat and said, “Well, I have something else to do. I’m leaving.”

Then, he said to the driver, “Let’s go.”

Watching the car disappear, Adriana pursed her lips and said, “It makes sense. You are able and

powerful. It’s natural that you don’t like me.

When Gerald returned home, it was one o’clock in the morning.

Valery and others seemed to have fallen asleep. Gerald quietly washed up and then lay on the sofa.

He recollected the things that had happened recently and wondered what he needed to do next.

The most urgent thing was to ensure the safety of Ingrid and handle Blood Lotus.

Perrin’s face suddenly appeared in Gerald’s mind. If he wanted to take revenge, he had to become

stronger.

Although he was basically the most powerful person in the underground world now, he wasn’t sure if he

could defeat those super experts who had rarely come out.

As the first person who won the Medal of Star Glory, Perrin was strong.

Gerald pondered and muttered, “Both the Lam family and the Frey family have been attacked by Blood

Lotus. They might have those strange bones as well. I have to ask them tomorrow.”

As he considered, Gerald slowly fell asleep.
