Slumdog Billionaire Husband

Chapter 225 Poor Catherine
Gerald got up early the next morning and went to work as usual!
When he arrived at Wisdom Group, he was surprised to find that Catherine, who was usually very punctual and even came early,
did not come to the company.
When Gerald got to Sales Team Two, he frowned and asked, “Where is Catherine? Is she not here?”
“She is not here today.” At this time, the team leader of Sales Team Two said, “I don’t know what
happened.”
“What?” Gerald frowned. “Didn’t you call her?”
“No!” Nick shook his head and said, “It’s quite strange. Logically speaking, she should always be the first to come to the
company. She is very punctual. I don’t know what happened to her today. She just didn’t come.”
Gerald frowned. He took out his phone and called Catherine.
But Catherine didn’t answer Gerald’s phone call!
Gerald felt something was wrong.
According to Catherine’s personality, she wouldn’t just disappear like this.
With Catherine’s mild personality, she would have made a call or sent a Line message to them even
if she was sick.
But until now, there was no message from her. Gerald thought that something might have happened to Catherine.
He frowned, looked at Nick, and asked, “Do you know Catherine’s address?”
“We don’t know about this, but the HR department should know it,” Nick hurriedly said.
Gerald nodded and said, “I got it!”
After that, Gerald took out his mobile phone and called Marty. Then he went to the HR department

to find Catherine’s information. After confirming Catherine’s address, he left Wisdom Group and
drove to Catherine’s house.
They did not confirm the time every time they went to Ingrid’s studio.
After the navigation was turned on, Gerald frowned slightly!
Catherine’s house was quite far away from the company. In a situation where there was no traffic
jam, it would take nearly an hour to drive there. Fortunately, Catherine had a car now. Gerald couldn’t imagine what time she had
to get up every day when she didn’t have the car.
Chapter 225 Door Catherina
She was just an ordinary girl who was working hard.
Gerald breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to speed up as much as possible. After nearly 40 minutes, he arrived at the address
that Catherine had offered to the company!
As soon as he got out of the car, he frowned slightly.
A place like that was hard to find in Washington.
The floors of this place were all a bit old and worn out. People who lived there could be considered the poorest in Washington.
However, Gerald was clear that Catherine had to provide a large amount of money for her mother to cure the disease previously,
so it was normal for her to live in such a place.
In a place like Washington, the price of a house downtown was quite high.
Gerald arrived at the floor according to the address!
After confirming the door number, he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, a sound came from inside.
“Catherine, remember this. You’re my daughter!” Gerald heard a slightly harsh voice. At the same time, there was the sound of a
bottle smashing.

“32 thousand dollars! Give me 32 thousand dollars, and I will never come to you and your mother!”
The harsh voice sounded.
“No, I don’t have a single cent!” Catherine gritted her teeth and said, “I spent all the money on the
disease!”
“You can afford 64 thousand dollars for the medical expenses, so you can also give me 32 thousand
dollars. Give me now!” The harsh voice came again.
At the same time, there were the sounds of crying and rapid breathing!
“Mom! Mom!” Catherine said anxiously.
“You don’t want to give me, right? Then you cannot get out of here today!” The man’s voice came
again.
“You have a mistress outside, abandoning me and my mother, and now you come to us for money. You bastard!” Another
extremely angry cry sounded.
“It is reasonable for me to ask my daughter for money!” Behind the door, the man still insisted!
Gerald stood at the door and frowned tightly.
Catherine’s life experience did not seem to be so smooth.
However, she did not show it at the company. Her mother suffered from a tumor. Her choice was to abandon the stable work and
to do sales, just to earn more money to treat her mother’s illness!
Before that, her father seemed to have abandoned them.
However, she usually looked very outgoing and hardworking!
“Ronin Jones, I will not give you a penny no matter what you will do to us!”
For the first time, Gerald heard Catherine’s unyielding tone. He guessed that Ronin must be

Catherine’s father.
“Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?” Ronin roared, and at the same time, there was the sound of
something falling.
At first, Gerald did not knock on the door. He felt that this was her family affairs.
But now, he felt that something was wrong. So he immediately knocked on the door!
“Who is it?” Ronin shouted impatiently.
Gerald did not reply and continued to knock on the door heavily!
Soon, the door opened, and a bearded old man appeared. He was reeking of alcohol. When he saw Gerald, he was stunned and
asked, “Who are you?”
Gerald glanced at him, pushed the door, and walked into the room.
At that time, the room was a mess, and there were many pieces of glass on the ground. Many of the
things made of glass were broken.
Not far away, a middle–aged woman sat on the ground with tears falling down her face. Catherine was protecting her, her eyes
red, but she did not shed a single tear.
Seeing Gerald, Catherine was slightly stunned, and then said, “Gerald! Why are you here?”
“Are you alright?” Gerald walked to Catherine and asked softly. Then, he supported the middle–aged woman and said, “Please
get up first!”
“Gerald?” At that time, Ronin, who was standing behind Gerald, looked at Gerald suspiciously and asked, “You are Catherine’s
boyfriend, right?”
Gerald looked at him and then said calmly, “Get out!”
“Get out? Do you know who I am? I am her father!” Ronin sneered and said, “If you want to marry

her, you have to get my permission first!”
Then Ronin sneered, “If you want to get Catherine, it’s very simple. You just need to give me 160 thousand dollars. Catherine’s
figure and appearance are not bad. She is worthy of 160 thousand
dollars!”
Gerald frowned!
Catherine was so angry that she was trembling!
Gerald didn’t expect that there would be such a father in this world.
“Can you afford it?” Ronin asked.
Gerald touched his chin and said indifferently, “Yes, I can even afford 1.6 million dollars. Even 16 million dollars is just a piece of
cake in my eyes.”
“What?” Ronin chuckled, “Fortunately, Catherine’s beauty works at the moment. Alright, now the price has increased. You have
to pay me 1.6 million dollars, or you have to leave my daughter!”
“I have money, but it has nothing to do with you.” At that time, Gerald said coldly, “I don’t care who you are. Now, get out of this
house!”
