Slumdog Billionaire Husband

Chapter 70 The Past

Gerald and Jacob were standing at the huge entrance of Universe Group.

Opposite them, seven or eight security guards looked over curiously. They saw the CEO and the current highest executive of Universe Group standing in front of Gerald and Jacob with his body trembling and tears flowing down his

face.

To the people of Universe Group, Leandro was not the boss of the company. He was only the executor.

However, the real boss of the company had never shown up. They did not even know what the boss of the company looked like. Therefore, to the people of Universe Group, Leandro was the most powerful one in the company.

And now, Leandro was facing a young man, making a standard military salute. At the same time, Leandro murmured, "For every being who is breathing..."

Gerald smiled slightly, then grinned and said together with Leandro, "We devote ourselves to the future we want!" Then the two of them paused at the same time and said at the same time, "We shall never give up!"

This was the slogan of Night Watch. Before they carried out their tasks, before going to war, and in training, they would shout out the slogan!

Watchman hid in the dark, guarding the peace of this world.

After saying that, the smile on Gerald's face became even brighter. Leandro rushed over and hugged Gerald tightly. Leandro shouted in a low voice, "I knew it. I knew you wouldn't die like this. You are the worst person I have ever met. I know you won't die so easily!"

Gerald chuckled.

Beside him, Jacob was shocked. He opened his mouth widely. He couldn't believe what he had heard.

He thought, what was going on?

Jacob was surprised that Gerald knew Leandro and that they had a good relationship.

"Let's go to your office first. I have something to talk to you about," Gerald said. "Okay!" Leandro said.

As he spoke, he looked at Jacob and asked, "Who is this?"

Gerald said, "My friend who grew up with me. I asked him to come here to work. I promised him that the annual salary would be 800 thousand dollars. We can talk about the specific work later. Let's go up first.' "Anyway, this company is yours. You can do whatever you want," Leandro smiled.

Jacob was about to faint.

Jacob thought, what the hell is going on?

Universe Group is one of the largest companies in Sacramento. It is comparable to the top family industries. But Leandro just said that the company belonged to Gerald! Wasn't Gerald arrested and sent to jail?

Moreover, in the past, Gerald didn't have much relation with the Kenneth family. Gerald's life was only a bit better than ordinary people's.

'Don't just stand there. Let's go to the company first," Gerald said.

Jacob was pulled by Gerald and walked into Leandro's office in a daze.

After sitting down, Gerald said, "There's an employee called Kian Hobson, right?"

Leandro nodded. "Yeah. He seems to be the marketing supervisor of the marketing department. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Jacob's title should be two levels higher than Kian's. You can do this, right?" Gerald said.

Leandro nodded and looked at Jacob. He said, "No problem."

At this time, Jacob finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. Gerald, what exactly is going on? How can you be the boss of Universe Group? My brain is in a mess." Leandro laughed.

He knew that for ordinary people, this situation was indeed very difficult to understand.

Gerald let out a breath, looked at Jacob, and said, "I told you before that I have not been in prison for nine years. Instead, I have entered a secret organization. This organization protects the peace of this world I am..."

"Gerald!" At this time, Leandro coughed.

Night Watch was very secretive. Ordinary people did not know it. And they should not know it.

Gerald smiled and said, "It's okay. I plan to make him a Watchman."

Leandro was slightly stunned at first, then looked at Jacob with a trace of envy.

Gerald intended to bring Jacob into Night Watch, even though he was a bit old.

Gerald also had the same plan for Trevon. But Trevon had a child, and Liam was still studying. Trevon had a lot of attachments.

But Jacob was different. Jacob did not have a child now, so his concern was relatively less.

In the next half an hour, Gerald and Leandro told Jacob about Night Watch. After listening to it, Jacob still didn't understand what Gerald had said. After all, what Gerald said was too shocking for him. Jacob felt that there were no such kinds of people in this world.

At last, when Gerald picked up an iron from Leandro's office and broke it with his bare hands, Jacob completely believed what Gerald said.

However, he was still in a daze.

Gerald knew that Jacob needed time to understand it. He patted Jacob on the shoulder and said, "Do not mention these things to anyone, including your parents and the people closest to you."

"I know, but it's still too unbelievable," Jacob said with a sigh.

Gerald nodded. "It's fine. Go back and think about it first. Come back next Monday. I have something to discuss with Leandro now."

Jacob nodded and said, "Alright. Then I'll go back first. Damn it. All of this seems like a dream."

Gerald touched his nose.

After Jacob left, Gerald looked at Leandro and said, "Did you replace anything in the past three years?"

Gerald had always wanted to prove his innocence. After Leandro came to Sacramento to take over Universe Group,

Gerald asked Leandro to investigate. However, in the past three years, Gerald had lost his memory and disappeared.

Leandro could not contact Gerald.

"I haven't found any concrete evidence, but according to my investigation, I am afraid it is related to your father." Leandro exhaled and added, "When your father was in the Kenneth family, he was quite capable. However, he was born into a branch family, and there were people in the Kenneth family who did not want him to get power. After the company that your father was in charge of purchasing an asset of the Zumthor family, you were framed..."

Gerald rolled his eyes and said, "So it means that someone wanted my father to die, and I was involved, right?"

"This is just my speculation from my investigation. Several families were involved in it. The matter is complicated, and I have no evidence." Leandro spread his hands and added, "By the way, if you want to investigate deeper, be careful. In the past few years, the Zumthor family has developed very quickly. I suspect that they have connections with Blood

Lotus."

Gerald let out a breath and said, "Understood!"

"There is one more thing. Does Universe Group have any dealings with the Zumthor family?" Gerald asked.

Leandro muttered, "We used to have. However, after I realized that they might have a connection with Blood Lotus, I stopped our cooperation. Now, they're one of our competitors."

Gerald licked his lips and said, "That's good. In a day or two, compete with them, including some of the projects they

are still doing. I don't care if we earn money. I just want them to lose money."

Leandro shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay. The company is yours anyway."

Gerald smiled, "By the way, don't let my dad know that this company is mine."

"Got it," Leandro said with a smile.

Gerald nodded. "Alright. I'll leave first. I'll call you if there's anything else I want to tell you."

Walking out of Universe Group, Gerald looked around. Then, he let out a breath and began to recall what had happened

back then.

It happened during the winter vacation in the first semester of his first year of university.

He clearly remembered that afternoon, it happened to be a gathering of the Kenneth family. The entire family was there. During that gathering, he drank wine and then felt a little dizzy. Logically speaking, with Gerald's alcohol tolerance, it was impossible for him to get drunk just because of that little bit of wine. He thought that someone must have drugged him.

When Gerald woke up, he and Bree were lying on the bed of a hotel, and it was very clear that the two had sex.

In fact, up until today, Gerald felt aggrieved.

It was his first time having sex. He didn't feel anything at all.

At that time, Bree had already woken up. After putting on her clothes, she cried and rushed out of the room.

After Gerald put on his clothes, Bree found a knife somewhere and rushed back to the room. She chased Gerald and

wanted to kill him.

The matter was widely spread. Someone called the police to control Bree. Next, the Cousy family was furious. Gerald was sued, and then he was imprisoned!
