Chapter 144 The Night Before the Banquet

Audrey looked at Gerald with disbelief in her eyes.

She knew the value of Desert Star This necklace was one of the most expensive necklaces in the world. Every diamond on it was priceless.

"You. Do you give it to me?" Audrey swallowed her saliva and asked.

She was the daughter of the richest man in Los Angeles. Her family was not short of money, but it

was impossible to buy such a valuable necklace with 24 million dollars at once

She never expected that Gerald would give this to her

For a moment, many thoughts emerged in her mind.

"Of course Anyway, it is useless to leave it with me," Gerald shrugged gently and said.

He did not think much of these things.

Audrey pursed her lips.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

Then Yazmin said, "Can I come in?"

Audrey closed the box. Gerald smiled and said, "You can come in."

Yazmin pushed open the room and then said to Audrey, "Audrey, come here for a moment. I have

something to tell you in private."

Audrey looked at Gerald Gerald said with a smile, "Go"

Audrey let out a breath, then put away the box of Desert Star, and followed Yazmin out

Gerald also walked into the living room. He did not know what Yazmin and Audrey had said. But when he saw them come out of the room, Audrey's face was flushed, and there was another box in Audrey's hand

He could guess that it was a gift from Yazmin, so he did not ask.

He stayed at home until ten o'clock. Lilia and Jolie also left one after another. Audrey stood

bid farewell to Gerald's parents.

up

and

When Gerald saw that Audrey was about to leave, he hurriedly stood and said, "I will send her off."

"Good, be careful," Lilia nodded and said.

Gerald's nerves had been taut the entire time when they were on the way out. It was only after Gerald entered the elevator that he let out a long breath and said, "Oh, my word. I finally managed to fool them." Audrey's gentle and virtuous temperament immediately disappeared. She looked smugly at Gerald and said, "Of course. Don't you know who I am? I guarantee that your family will be very satisfied." Gerald coughed and looked at the box in Audrey's hand. He asked, "What did my mother give you? I saw you come out with a flushed face"

Audrey hurriedly put the box away and said, "You don't want to take it back, do you?"

Gerald said speechlessly, "I have given you Desert Star Why would I care about this little gift? I am Just curious."

Audrey pouted and said, "I won't show it to you. But if you tell me who you are You still haven't told me what you and Carolyn said about Night Watch. Who exactly are you? Hurry up and explain

it to me

Gerald spread out his hands and said, "Fine then. I don't want to know what's inside the box"

Audrey snorted At that time, the elevator had arrived downstairs. The two walked out of the elevator Gerald drove his father's car. After sending Audrey to Keira's home, he slowly went back home.

When he returned home, he saw that Yazmin and Mason were extremely happy. He had seen with his own eyes what it meant to be grinning from ear to ear

After seeing Gerald return, Yazmin hurriedly said, "Gerald, our family likes your girlfriend very much. You have to treat her well. Also, you are almost at the age where you should get married. Since the relationship has been confirmed, and you have been in a relationship for so long. Find a time to let us meet her parents and then set a date for you to get married."

Gerald was dumbfounded. He hurriedly coughed and said, "Well, no rush."

"Why not?" Mason said. "It is not easy to replace such a good girl like Audrey. There must be a lot of people pursuing her You should get married early." Gerald didn't know how to answer

He coughed and said, "I will discuss this with Audrey Dad, Mom. I will move out tomorrow."

"Well, don't come back easily. It's better if Audrey gets pregnant. Oh, no, you two should get married as soon as possible," Yazmin said.

Gerald couldn't help but roll his eyes. He knew his mother well.

Mason nodded and said, "By the way, Gerald, tomorrow is the Kenneth family's end-of-year

meeting. Our company has been invited. Mr. Hanson asked me to go with him. Did he call you?"

Gerald nodded and said, "Yes, he did. I will go with him tomorrow

Mason muttered, "The Kenneth family's end-of-year meeting will attract the majority of celebrities

in Sacramento. When the time comes, control your emotions. You represent Universe Group If there is a conflict with the Kenneth family at the banquet, it will affect Universe Group's reputation. Now, Universe Group and the Kenneth family are in an irreconcilable relationship. Today, the market value of both companies plummeted again. This week, the Kenneth family's overall fall was close to a quarter "They They have had a big loss."

Although Mason was worried that something was wrong with Universe Group, there was an

unconcealable look of excitement in his eyes.

That was right It was impossible to say that there was no resentment in his heart for everything that happened nine years ago.

If the Kenneth family were to suffer, he would naturally feel good.

Gerald exposed the truth nine years ago at the Kenneth family's end-of-year meeting banquet, but

he did not mention it to Mason.

After hearing Mason's words, Gerald smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about me. I

know what to do.

"Good," Mason nodded and said. "Then go rest early

When Gerald returned to his room to rest, the Cousy family in Sacramento.

Doreen sat in front of the window A cup of coffee was on the table. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and held a book in her hand. She sat there calmly

"Doreen."

At that moment, a sound came from the door behind her

Doreen closed the book and turned to look at the door. She asked Armand, "What's the matter?"

"I will represent our family to attend the Kenneth family's end-of-year meeting banquet Bree has

already said that she will go with me. Do you

want to go?" Armand asked.

Doreen was slightly stunned, then she nodded and said, "I am willing to go, and I must go."

Yes, Doreen must go, because Gerald said that he will prove his innocence tomorrow.

Doreen must be there

"Okay, then we three will go," Armand said.

In Sacramento, Jessica and Daphne were at home Jessica looked ahead. A man with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined appearance sat in front of her

"Why are you coming for me?" Jessica's voice was somewhat cold.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled slightly and said, "Jessica, don't be so angry There was nothing I could do when I divorced you. I left such a big company for you. Jessica snorted and said, "Go back to Washington yourself I don't welcome you here. If you want.

to take this company back, take it back quickly. I have no interest in running it

"Come on. I was only invited to attend the annual meeting of the Kenneth family The Kenneth family is in turmoil now, and it is also a business opportunity I plan to come over and talk about cooperation with them," the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said. "I also want to come and see you and the child."

He then looked at Jessica and said, "You are also invited. I will stay here at night and then go with you tomorrow How about that?"

"Get out You are not welcome here, and Daphne does not have you as a father. Remember this. Her surname is Lange" Jessica's tone was somewhat agitated.

The man sighed, "All right Don't get too agitated. I'll leave We'll meet at the banquet tomorrow

At the same time, some of the big companies and celebrities in Sacramento were sending people.

to participate

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Gerald. He walked to the balcony of the room and lit at cigarette for himself. Then he looked at Sacramento, which looked somewhat prosperous.

Nine years..

In these nine years, he stood at the top of the world. But what happened nine years ago was still

lingering in his heart

"Tomorrow "He took a deep breath and extinguished the cigarette. His expression looked horrible
