Chapter 156 You Don't Deserve Her!

After getting out, Gerald took a taxi and rushed to Splendor Restaurant.

Soon, he got out of the car in front of the restaurant. Gerald and Doreen had an appointment at 12 o'clock, and he was about five minutes earlier.

Because it was time for lunch, there were more people in front of Splendor Restaurant.

The manager of Splendor Restaurant saw Gerald standing at the door and walked over to greet him, "Mr.

Kenneth, you're here to eat again!"

Gerald had a Black Gold Membership Card from Splendor Restaurant. People who came to Splendor Restaurant were upscale. Most of them were in suits. Gerald had had a conflict with Koen and the others,

SO

the people of Splendor Restaurant knew him.

Gerald nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Mr. Kenneth, which floor do you plan to go to for dinner? I'll reserve the table for you," The manager said very politely, "Mr. Croft said that you are an honored guest. You can tell us what you need before you come here."

Gerald touched his nose. Since Doreen wanted to eat with him alone, she probably wanted a quiet room.

"I want a private room on any floor," Gerald said.

"Alright. I'll reserve a room on the fifth floor for you," the manager said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Gerald hurriedly said.

"My pleasure!" After the manager finished speaking, he turned around and walked back into Splendor

Restaurant.

People who came and went would look at Gerald curiously.

Many high-class people in Sacramento would come to Splendor Restaurant. Some of them attended the year-end conference of the Kenneth Group yesterday. Gerald was also on the stage. It was not surprising that they knew him.

Gerald did not care about these gazes.

After two minutes, a car stopped at the restaurant. Doreen got out of it. Obviously, she had dressed herself Doreen had applied light makeup on her face and worn a white dress. She looked elegant. Combined with her elegant temperament, Doreen was like a goddess!

She walked to Gerald and smiled. "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Gerald rubbed his nose and said, "I just arrived. Let's go in first!"

They walked into Splendor Restaurant. The manager quickly said, "This way, the private room has been

arranged."

Doreen looked at Gerald in surprise and said, "You booked a table in advance?"

"I got a Black Gold Membership Card from the restaurant, so I can eat here for free. They know me. They booked a table for me when they saw me waiting at the door," Gerald explained in a low voice, "Make yourself at home. Order the most expensive dishes later. Anyway, it's free."

Doreen was shocked!

It wasn't easy to get a Black Gold Membership Card from Splendor Restaurant.

However, when Doreen thought about how Gerald directly brought down the huge Kenneth family, she felt that it was possible for him. They reached the fifth floor and entered the private room. After Doreen ordered some dishes, the waiter left. Gerald asked, "Why do you want to me today?"

Doreen's face turned slightly red. Then she looked at Gerald and bit her lips. "I just want to know what happened to you in the past nine years. I feel that I can't see through you at all. You actually defeated the Kenneth family..."

Gerald was speechless. He could not tell Doreen about Night Watch, but he did not want to deceive her either.

Seeing that Gerald did not speak, Doreen smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it."

At this point, she fiddled with the forks on the table. Doreen looked up at Gerald, her face blushing. She

whispered, "Gerald, do you remember what we said at the school sports field that day?"

Gerald was surprised. Then he looked at Doreen and asked, "What?"

Doreen blinked her eyes. She looked at Gerald and said, "That day, I said that I believed you. I said that... after

these things are over, we can... be together."

At this time, Gerald also recalled it.

Looking at Doreen's pretty face, Gerald was touched.

He once adored this girl.

Those days when Gerald was still a student, he wished to stay with Doreen every day.

But nine years had passed, and this feeling had long been hidden in the depths of Gerald's heart.

And he and Doreen, in the end, had become people of two different worlds. Perhaps they had crossed paths

before, but their lives couldn't be intertwined again.

Doreen liked music and reading, while Gerald was a Watchman. And now he bore hatred. He had to face Blood Lotus, Dark Phantom, and the powerful Dempsey family. He had to face everything unknown. Gerald could die on a mission at any time!

And Doreen was not a woman like Red Rose. If not for the fact that he was afraid that Red Rose would poison him, Gerald would have slept with her.

However, Doreen was different. He couldn't just pull up his pants and run away.

Gerald frowned slightly. He was about to speak when the door was pushed open. Bang.

"Doreen, I knew you had gone out to see him again." A voice rang out from behind Gerald.

He turned around and saw Armand rushing in. He glanced at Gerald and then said to Doreen, "Go home with

me!"

Obviously, he had installed a GPS in Doreen's car again!

"Armand!" Doreen frowned and said, "Gerald isn't a suspect now. Why are you doing this?"

"But he did take advantage of Bree. You can't be with him. And... he doesn't deserve you!" Armand said.

Doreen frowned and said, "I don't deserve him. He can..."

"Doreen, don't be naive. Do you really think that he did all those things? Can't you understand? He is just one of Leandro's tools. Leandro wants to expand Universe Group, so he took Gerald out of prison and used him to destroy the Kenneth family." Armand paused. He looked at Gerald and continued, "His Diamond Card and everything he had were given by Leandro."

Gerald smiled in his heart.

Indeed, most people would probably think this way!

However, this was also what Gerald wanted to see.

He wanted to throw all the blame on Leandro so that he could still keep a low profile.

Doreen was slightly stunned at first. Then she shook her head and said, "Armand, even if he didn't get those things by himself, I still like him. Isn't that enough?"

"Doreen, I won't agree with this matter. The family will not agree either. Anyway, can you be with him after what he did to Bree? What would our relatives and friends think? And what would Bree think?" Armand said,

"Go home with me now!"

As Armand spoke, he looked at Gerald and said, "Gerald, I have really misunderstood you before. I'm grateful to you for the recent matter. But you have to see the gap between you and us. Doreen is not suitable for you, and you should not have such improper thoughts about her. You should keep your distance from now on!"

Gerald was speechless!

He felt that Armand looked down on him despite everything, just like nine years ago.

Gerald shrugged, looking indifferent. After all, it was improper to be with Doreen now.

As Armand spoke, he directly dragged Doreen outside. He was tall and strong. Doreen was a quiet person.

She did not struggle too much and was taken out by Armand.

After the two left, Gerald stood up. He filled a cup with tea and took a sip. "He said that I don't deserve her. Fine. It's a good thing for both her and me."

As Gerald spoke, he calmed himself down and let out a breath. "Now, the matter with the Kenneth family has been solved perfectly. Now it's time for the Zumthor family and the other companies that started it to

pay the price!"

Gerald took out his phone, found Red Rose's phone number, and dialed it.

Soon, the phone was connected, and he heard Red Rose's sexy voice. "Sweetheart, my sweetheart, why did it take so long for you to call me? Why don't you make a video call..."

"Stop!" Gerald had goosebumps all over his body.

Gerald couldn't stand the way she addressed him.

"Hmph. You are so boring," Red Rose mumbled.

"You are in charge of Blood Lotus in Sacramento now. Right?" Gerald asked.

"I guess so," Red Rose said, "What's wrong?"

"Find a way to remove your financial support for the Zumthor family," Gerald said.

Red Rose was stunned and said, "If we withdraw the economic support, the Zumthor family will announce

bankruptcy in less than a month. It does not have a huge foundation like the Kenneth family. It owes the bank a lot of money. Once the capital is cut off, it will be doomed." "That's exactly what I want," Gerald said lightly.

"Wow. You're so ruthless. But I like it!" Red Rose said, "I'll do it later. Oh. Right. There's something I need to tell

you. Let's go out and meet!"
