Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 186 I Let You Marry Audrey

A black car was running along the road slowly.

A man with no shirt on was driving the car. A pretty woman was sitting in the passenger seat. Blushed,

Audrey pursed her lips and looked out the window.

Audrey wasn’t thinking straight. Perhaps it was because Audrey was so emotional that she couldn’t help

but kiss Gerald.

The air was filled with awkwardness.

Gerald coughed with embarrassment and said, “Are you still interested in the Night Watch and

Watchman No. o? Do you wanna know how I saved your father? I can tell you the answer now.”

Generally speaking, the Night Watch and Gerald’s identity were top secrets that couldn’t be known by

ordinary people.

After what Audrey had been through, Audrey already knew what kind of organization Blood Lotus was.

She also knew Gerald killed people. Gerald thought it would be all right to tell Audrey

everything.

However, Gerald changed the topic too abruptly.

Audrey looked at Gerald curiously.

In fact, Audrey was curious about everything about Gerald.

At first, Audrey just thought Gerald was an interesting man. After some time, Audrey desperately

wanted to know more about him.

Gerald hurriedly nodded and continued, “I was framed by Holden and went to prison when I was in

Sacramento. You know that, right? At that time, I was hopeless because I had been charged with a

serious crime. When I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life in prison, an old man came to

me and asked me if I would go with him. He promised to get me out of there.”

Gerald told Audrey about his experiences and what the Night Watch was. As for the confidential

information about the Night Watch, Gerald still kept it from Audrey.

Gerald wouldn’t tell Audrey all about the Night Watch unless she became one of them.

Nevertheless, Gerald’s words didn’t sound convincing to Audrey.

When Gerald finished speaking, Audrey subconsciously asked, “Is… is this some kind of joke?”

“Come on. Why would I lie to you?” Gerald complained.

“Humph, I still remember that Carolyn and you said the Night Watch is some kind of a security firm. Liar!”

Audrey snorted.

Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle, “Aw, the fewer who know about our existence, the better. Bradley found

out my real identity only after I had rescued him. As for my Diamond Card of New Bank, I got it after I

saved the real boss of the bank.”

Audrey was silent for a moment. Then she looked at Gerald and asked, “What should I do to become

one of you?”

“Seriously?” Gerald blurted it out. “Being a Watchman isn’t as easy as you think, especially in the early

stage. Even if you’re lucky enough to pass an early test, you’re gonna be put into a squad for missions.

And in the worst case, you’ll get killed. I think you’d better keep this secret and continue

to live a city life as always.”

“If Hazel can do that, I’m sure I can do that too. We’re best friends. I wanna go to Hazel!” she

insisted.

As they talked, Gerald drove into the neighborhood where Audrey lived. Gerald called Bradley ahead of

time. Therefore, Bradley didn’t go to work and waited for them at home.

When Gerald and Audrey walked into the house, Bradley surprisingly found Gerald shirtless. A few

seconds later, Bradley ran to Audrey and held her in his arms. “Audrey, you have me worried sick!”

Bradley cried.

When Audrey saw Bradley, she burst into tears.

After Bradley and Audrey were done catching up, Bradley let go of Audrey and looked at her. “Go wash

up and have a rest. You didn’t sleep well last night, did you?” he uttered.

Audrey nodded and looked at Gerald. “Dad, can you let someone bring some clothes for Gerald? I

don’t have any shirts for him.”

Bradley instantly pulled out his phone and made a call. After that, Audrey went upstairs to take a

shower.

Flop! Bradley got down on his knees as soon as Audrey left.

Bradley knelt down to Gerald and said, “Thank you, Gerald. Thank you for saving Audrey’s life and mine.

I owe you solid!”

Gerald hurriedly helped Bradley up and replied, “You didn’t have to do that, Mr. Herman. This is

something I should do for a friend of mine. Even if Audrey isn’t my friend, I’ll still come to her

rescue.”

Gerald helped Bradley sit down. Bradley looked at Gerald and said, “How do I thank you? How about… I

let you marry Audrey?”

Gerald was speechless.

“Ahem.” It reminded Gerald that Audrey kissed him in the car. Gerald glanced at Bradley with guilt

and said, “To be honest, Mr. Herman, Audrey’s really a nice girl, but… You know my identity. You know

how dangerous it’s for a girl to be with me, don’t you?

“It’s possible that I go on a mission tomorrow and get killed by someone.”

Bradley pondered and then replied, “Then I’ll send Audrey to the Night Watch. She’s young. It’s never too

late for her to join the Night Watch. Audrey’s gonna be your comrade. Problem solved!”

“Are you serious? Let Audrey be a Watchman?” Gerald asked in surprise.

Bradley sighed, “Actually, Audrey’s safety is what matters most to me now. After all this, I’m so afraid that

Audrey will get involved and get hurt. I don’t wanna let that happen again.”

Gerald fell silent. Bradley got a point.

Blood Lotus targeted Bradley for the Dragon Bone. However, the bone was in Gerald’s body now.

Franklin was likely to come after Bradley and Audrey again when he found out that the bone was

fake.

Gerald thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Herman, for the sake of you and Audrey, how about I take

you and Audrey to the Night Watch? After I take care of Blood Lotus, I’ll send you back. As for the

Forever Group, I will ask Mr. Hanson, the president of Universe Group, to send someone over and take

charge of your company in your absence. Rest assured. Everything will go smoothly as

always.”

Bradley said happily, “Good idea!”

Gerald smiled, “It’s settled.”

At this point, Gerald coughed and went on, “There’s one more thing I need to tell you, Mr. Herman.

I accidentally absorbed the bone you gave me.”

Bradley was stunned. He didn’t understand what Gerald meant. Bradley rolled his eyes and said

seriously, “Gerald, the Dragon Bone is the heirloom of the Herman family. And an outsider isn’t allowed

to own it. Now that you’ve absorbed the bone, you’re one of the Herman family. This is destiny. Audrey

and you are meant to be together!”

“What?” Gerald was shocked by Bradley’s words.

However, Gerald didn’t argue with Bradley. After all, it was only a waste of time to reason with Bradley.

Gerald quickly took out his phone and called Valery.

Soon, Valery answered the phone. “What’s the matter?” she asked.

“Franklin showed up,” Gerald said.

“How’s Audrey?” Valery asked.

“I saved her. Audrey’s safe now.” Gerald let out a breath “Franklin knew my identity and ran away. Even

though I failed to kill Franklin, I took Shadow down instead.”

“Are you hurt?” Valery asked.

Gerald said proudly, “Of course not. You should see what Franklin was like when he ran away.

Coward!”

Suddenly, Gerald put on a serious look. He went on, “Franklin and Shadow came to capture Bradley and

Audrey in person for the bone. I suspect that Franklin attacked the Maddox family for the same

reason.”

“I see. We’ll discuss it when you return to Washington,” Valery said.

“Oh right. I need your men to send Audrey and Bradley to the Night Watch. I’m worried that Blood Lotus

will come after them,” Gerald added.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it,” Valery echoed.

About 30 miles from Los Angeles, Franklin was driving on a highway.

“Shadow, hang in there!” Franklin continued anxiously, “I’ll take you to Dax. He certainly can cure

you.”

Shadow didn’t respond. Shadow leaned back with a pale face.

“Kaff kaff.”

Shadow coughed up blood from time to time.

Extremely worried about Shadow, Franklin constantly stepped on the gas with anxiety. Franklin

made a call while driving.

Soon, a hoarse voice sounded on the phone. “What? Didn’t I say not to call me unless something’s

urgent?”

“Dax, Watchman No. O showed up! Gerald’s Watchman No. o,” Franklin roared at the phone.

“I know. What’s more, we spoke on the phone earlier,” Dax said hoarsely.

Franklin was stunned. After a moment, Franklin snapped, “Why didn’t you tell me that Gerald was still

alive? If you told me, I wouldn’t have come out!”

“Why should I? Furthermore… You didn’t ask me,” Dax answered lazily. “Saul knew it too. I told him

when he asked me,” Dax added.

Franklin was dumbfounded. Then he said, “Fine, it doesn’t matter now. I need you to kill Gerald!

He’s in Los Angeles.” Franklin gritted his teeth in anger.

“No.” Dax rejected faintly.
