Slumdog Billionaire Husband

Chapter 249 Daphne Is in Trouble
Hearing Gerald’s words, Ingrid seemed to have recovered a little. She curled her lips and said, “You
wish!”
“Pervert!” Leana also curled her lips and said.
Gerald was speechless. He just intended to enliven the atmosphere. Gerald thought Leana and Ingrid were too anxious now, and
they had rarely faced such things.
Gerald took the initiative to change the topic and said to Leana, “Well, now your enemy is dead. Although you didn’t kill him
personally, it can be regarded as revenge. So just forget about becoming a Watchman. It is really not as good as you believe to
be a Watchman. And so is Ingrid. From now on, just mind your studio!”
As Gerald said this, he cursed, “Fuck! With money, one really can do whatever he wants. You’re still in your first year of
university, Ingrid, but you are going to have your own brand soon!”
As Gerald changed the topic, Ingrid and Leana’s moods gradually improved a lot. Although Ingrid and Leana’s voices still
sounded a little shaky, they had calmed down at least.
After about half an hour, the three of them arrived at Ingrid’s studio. Before getting out of the car, Gerald touched his nose and
said, “By the way, check who didn’t come to your company this afternoon. That person is a traitor. See who this person often
hangs out with at the office. Although the head has been dealt with, there are still some small potatoes left.”
Then Gerald thought for a moment and told Ingrid a license plate number.
Ingrid nodded.
After Leana arrived, she took out her mobile phone and called Derick, telling him what had
happened.
Gerald did not care about that because Derick was the person in charge of the Dark Net, and Gerald believed Derick probably
had already known everything.

On the other hand, Gerald walked into the studio with Ingrid. On the sofa at the door, Eddie sat there. Seeing Gerald and Ingrid
walk in, Eddie sniffed. Then Eddie got up and walked to Gerald’s side. Eddie asked softly, “Did you fight with anyone at noon?”
Gerald nodded and said, “The matter is almost settled. Saul is dead! Dax escaped.”
Eddie couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.
Eddie had heard about Saul and Dax and knew they were from Dark Phantom, a group second only to Blood Lotus. Eddie
thought, the head of Dark Phantom, Saul, who is ranked first on the Moon
List, is dead!
Dax, who is ranked seventh, escaped?
The shadow that shrouded the Maddox family during this period of time seemed to have been
resolved.
Eddie could not help but look at Gerald and ask, “What... What is going on?”
“This is not a good place to talk. You can ask Ingrid about that when you are back!” Gerald said.
Eddie looked around and quickly shut his mouth. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said to Ingrid, “By the way,
Ingrid, your best friend Daphne is here. She is now in your office. She seemed to have some trouble and came crying.”
Ingrid’s face darkened. At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened before and quickly rushed
toward the office.
Gerald was also stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
Gerald had a pretty good relationship with Daphne, and Jessica had also helped him a lot before.
Soon, after arriving at the office, Gerald and Ingrid found Daphne sitting there, holding tissues in her hand, sobbing slightly.
Seeing Ingrid come in, Daphne raised her red eyes, looked at Ingrid with tears in her eyes, and said, “Ingrid...”
“Dear, what’s wrong!” Ingrid hurriedly walked over.
Daphne hugged Ingrid and began to cry.

“It’s alright. Tell me what happened. Did some guy bully you? I will ask my brother to beat him up together with the Washington
Great Four,” Ingrid hurriedly said.
Daphne sobbed for four or five minutes and finally calmed down. Then she sat down on the sofa with Ingrid and said, “My
mother... My mother was beaten. I... I was also slapped.”
“Who did it?” Ingrid took a closer look at Daphne and found that Daphne’s face was indeed a little
red.
Previously, because Daphne was crying, Gerald did not pay much attention. When he heard Daphne’s words, Gerald’s
expression could not help but change slightly.
“It’s... It’s my father’s new lover. Today, that woman came to my mom and me at the hotel with
from some people. She asked us to give up the assets of the Goldsun Group and told us to stay away my father. My mother
argued with that woman. The people the woman brought beat my mother. I went up to help and that woman slapped me,”
Daphne said and began to feel aggrieved again.
“What? This woman is fucking crazy. Who is this woman?” Ingrid was so angry that she swore.
“It seems to be an Internet celebrity,” Daphne said.
“Your father is also a jerk. At such an old age, how can he be with an Internet celebrity? Doesn’t he feel ashamed?” Ingrid
scolded, “What is the name of that woman? Tell me. My brother is very familiar with those Internet celebrities. I will ask my
brother to stand up for you!”
Gerald frowned and asked, “Where is your mother?”
“My mother... was brought to the Thornton’s place by them,” Daphne said and in an instant, her
face was full of worry.
Gerald frowned slightly.
Gerald really could not understand the grudges between these rich and powerful families.

The Goldsun Group could be considered a large company. Before, it was completely run by Jessica. Cale actually ran to
Sacramento to beg Jessica to get back together with him.
When Cale found a new lover, he actually wanted to take back the entire Goldsun Group and did not even want to give Jessica
anything. What was more, Cale even wanted to remove Daphne from the Thornton family, which made Gerald really not
understand what was going on.
“Jessica was taken to the Thornton’s place?” Ingrid’s expression changed slightly.
Daphne nodded and said, “I really don’t know what to do now. In Washington, you are the only
person who can help me. I...”
“Don’t worry.” Although Ingrid said that, there was also some anxiety in her eyes.
The Thornton family was very influential in Washington. This was not only in terms of money. The assets the Thornton family
owned were no less than that of New Bank. And it was the richest family
in the country.
In addition, the Thornton family was an ancient martial arts family, and there was once a super
expert in the Thornton family.
In one word, the Thornton family had quite a high status in Washington.
In this regard, the Thornton family was not inferior to the Jackson family. From a certain point of view, it was reasonable to say
that the Thornton family was the first family in Washington.
Ingrid was also afraid.
However, what Gerald did not understand was why such a rich and powerful family would care about the Goldsun Group so
much.
Gerald wondered, it was fine before. Why does the Thornton family suddenly want to take the Goldsun Group back now? And
they even want to remove Daphne from their family?

Gerald pondered, and believed there was probably something secret behind that.
Looking at Ingrid, who seemed to be in a dilemma, Gerald looked at Daphne and said, “Don’t worry too much. Those guys must
have brought your mother there to let your mother sign the agreement to transfer the company to them. There should be no
danger. Of course, you can’t be slapped by an Internet celebrity for no reason. This must be settled!”
Hearing Gerald’s words, Ingrid was delighted in her heart. That’s right. Gerald is a Watchman, an omnipotent Watchman. With
Gerald there, there is nothing to worry about! Ingrid thought.
Daphne also subconsciously looked at Gerald and asked, “But I am worried about my mother.”
“How about this!” Gerald touched his nose and said, “I’ll go with you to the Thornton’s place first. No matter what, let’s make sure
your mother is safe first. I’ll contact Kerr and ask him to come with me. Ingrid, contact your brother and ask him to take the other
two of the Washington Great Four
with him. the Thornton family should have some fear for the Washington Great Four.”
Ingrid looked happy and said, “Okay, I will call my brother right now!”
Daphne glanced at Gerald, pursed her lips, and said, “You... You will go with me? Will that work?”
Although Daphne knew that Gerald had a Diamond Card from New Bank, this was nothing in the
face of the Thornton family.
“You will know whether it will work or not when we get there.” Gerald smiled at Daphne. “Let’s go.
I’ll drive you there first!”
