Slumdog billionaire husband

Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Prejudices

Facing such a kind of thing, Jacob was angry.

He had spent six years, but in the end, he had lost to reality. The girl had just said that he was out of

her league before, but now as he got 800 thousand dollars, she wanted to get back with him.

Jacob found it so ridiculous. At this moment, he finally figured out who these people were.

He looked at Kelly calmly and said, “We have already broken up. Give me back my phone. We will go

our separate ways from now on.”

Kelly’s expression changed slightly. She had thought that Jacob would listen to her all the time. As long

as she said a word, Jacob would return to her obediently.

Hearing this, she looked at Jacob and said, “You really don’t love me.”

Jacob smiled and shook his head. He went forward and snatched his phone back. Then, he let out a

sigh and said, “I don’t love you. Over the past six years, I have loved you sincerely. You asked me to

add your name to the house’s title deed and I agreed. You asked for 160 thousand dollars to buy your

brother a house. I really couldn’t afford it. Under that circumstance, you didn’t give in at all and I just

couldn’t afford it at all.”

“Now you can afford it,” Kelly said, “Jacob, let’s get married!”

Jacob laughed. Tears streamed down his face.

He looked at Kelly and said lightly, “Just now, I was utterly disappointed. You don’t wanna marry me,

but money!”

With that, he turned around.

Kelly still wanted to say something, but Gerald frowned and said, “All right. Just leave. Now, you are not

worthy of my

buddy.”

Derek and Kelly changed their expressions slightly. Gerald put his arms around Jacob’s shoulder and

said, “Ignore these people. Let’s go!”

As he spoke, he directly took Jacob away from the gate of the compound!

The two of them walked to a place where no one was around. Jacob exhaled and said, “Gerald, thank

you for just now, but I’ve figured it out. After what happened just now, I feel much better.”

Gerald patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be bound by a woman. It’s good that you can see her

through!”

“Yes!” Jacob wiped his tearful eyes. It could be seen that he had invested a lot in this relationship. He

took out his phone and said, “Give me your bank account. I will transfer the money to you.”

Gerald smiled and said, “What are you thinking? Do you think I am joking? What I said is true. I will

take you to work

tomorrow.”

“You… really have a company?” Jacob asked in surprise.

Gerald nodded and said, “Why would I lie to you? And I didn’t lie to you just now. I haven’t been in

prison for the past few years.”

Jacob looked suspicious and felt shocked.

Gerald knew that it would be difficult for him to accept it for the moment. It would be a pie in the sky for

an ordinary person to have 800 thousand dollars all of a sudden.

He looked at Jacob with a smile and said, “Don’t think too much. Add me on Line and then give me

your number. I still

have something to do and can’t keep you company now. I will contact you tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay.” Jacob took out his phone!

After Gerald left his number and Line ID, he smiled and looked at Jacob, who was dumbfounded. Then

he turned and walked toward the compound.

Jacob needed to take a moment alone.

Back in the compound, he went straight to his aunt’s house.

When he arrived at the door of his house, his father especially left the door open for him.

Obviously, there were a lot of people in his aunt’s house. At this time, it was noisy.

“Hey, Mason, actually, no offense. It’s just that Gerald committed a crime back then. It’s a bit

shameless. You should call him and tell him not to come here. So many people in our family are here.”

The one who spoke was Jadon Cope, Gerald’s uncle. Gerald’s mother had three sisters in her family.

His mother was Yazmin Cope, the second eldest sister. She had a younger sister, Lilia Cope, who was

also Gerald’s aunt.

The one who spoke just now was Gerald’s eldest uncle.

“Yes, Yazmin,” Lilia also said, “You know, back then, I liked Gerald the most. We didn’t expect that he

would commit a crime. Today is my birthday again, and our family members are all here. It’s a good

thing that Gerald got out of prison, but if he comes here, how should we get along with him?”

“Lilia.” At this time, a haggard voice sounded, “Gerald must have been wronged. We all know him well.

How could he

do that…”

The door was slammed shut with a bang all of a sudden.

Jadon said again, “Yazmin, Mason, we are indeed a bit biased. Yet, what Gerald did made some

trouble for us back then. That matter made quite a big sensation in Sacramento. At that time, we had

something to do with Gerald, making me lose my salary at that time. You know that it is a good thing

that Gerald came back now, but it may not be for us. In short, you should call him and tell him not to

come here.”

“Yes, he brought great shame on us back then…”

Various voices came from inside.

Gerald stood there and frowned slightly!

He had thought that when he returned to Sacramento, his relatives and friends would all be biased

against him! It was just that he had not expected that they would be so biased against him after nine

years.

“Gerald was really wronged, and even if he did make a mistake, it has been nine years. Can’t you give

him a chance to

turn on a new leaf?” Mason said.

“Mason, take a look at everyone’s attitude. We’re not just saying it. He did something wrong,” Jadon

said again.

Lilia frowned and said, “Yazmin, just call him. Here is the thing. Many family members are here today.

This is indeed inappropriate. How about this? I will visit him personally tomorrow and introduce him to a

job. What do you think? Mason is a president, but he does not have any power over personnel…”

Outside the door, Gerald listened to their discussion with a complicated expression on his face.

After a while, under their persuasion, his phone finally rang. He let out a breath and said with a smile

on his face,

“Hello, Dad!”

“Gerald.” Mason’s voice was a little melancholic.

“Dad, well, I may not be able to make it today. Just now, I met my childhood friend Jacob, the one I

knew in kindergarten. He insists on treating me to a meal. I can’t refuse him,” Gerald said with a smile.

He did not want to pressure Mason.

When Mason heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “All right, come home early after dinner. I’ll

eat at your aunt’s place later and bring your mother back. You know what, your mother was thrilled to

hear that you were back.”

Gerald nodded and said, “Okay. I have got to go.”

With that, he hung up the phone!

Looking at the door, he sighed and turned to walk to the elevator.

After leaving the compound, Gerald walked down the street. In Sacramento, he didn’t know where to

go for the

moment.

“I have to hurry up. Otherwise, these prejudices will keep haunting me,” Gerald said.

He didn’t care about his uncle and the others looking down on him, but he didn’t want his parents to

bear the

pressure.

He stopped a taxi and said, “Go to a bar!”

The driver asked, “Which bar?”

“Just pick one randomly,” Gerald said.

The driver acted as if he got Gerald and started the car.

Half an hour later, the car stopped on the bar street in Sacramento. The driver pointed outside with a

smile and said, “This should be one of the best bars in Sacramento.”

Gerald glanced at it. The name of the bar was Flame Bar. Gerald paid the taxi fare, got out of the car,

and walked into the bar.

However, it was just over seven o’clock in the evening. There were not many people in the bar. Gerald

walked in and asked for a booth. Then he sat down, ordered a lot of wine, and drank alone.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
