Chapter 26 Bow to Me

“But I don’t love him.” Doreen looked up at Gerald. When she said that, her beautiful eyes were calm.

Gerald frowned and said, “If you don’t like him, don’t marry him.”

Doreen sighed and shook her head. “I have no other choices. Something was wrong with my family’s company. Coincidentally, Henley’s family could help us, and they requested I marry him. I wanted to refuse but couldn’t.”

Something like that always happened in wealthy families.

Gerald frowned and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”

Doreen shook her head and said, “What can you do to help me? If that hadn’t happened to you, your performance would be good, and you would be valued by the Kenneth family. Then, you could help me.”

Gerald was speechless.

In fact, he had never treated the Zumthor family seriously.

Gerald had the Diamond Card of New Bank. During the six years of being a Watchman, he had terrifying connections. He had many companies inside and outside the country and was backed by the Night Watch.

Although Gerald had not returned to Los Angeles, his parents had been properly taken care of by him.

“Maybe… I can help you.” Gerald touched his nose.

Doreen frowned and said, “Gerald, you know I have few male friends because of my personality. You used to be one. Nine years have passed, so I don’t want to mention what happened back then. My cousin has gotten married, and you have finally come out of prison. Last night, I told Audrey to help you find a job in her company. Be a good person.”

Gerald burst into laughter. Obviously, Doreen didn’t believe he had been wronged.

Gerald twitched his mouth and said, “Is that what you want to say to me?”

Doreen said, “I have said I have few male friends. I haven’t seen you for nine years and want to see you and talk to you

alone. Henley was here yesterday. He would be unhappy if I told you this.”

Gerald was touched. He looked up at Doreen.

Nine years had passed, but Doreen’s personality had not changed. She was still proud and elegant.

Doreen saw Gerald looking at her and blushed.

“Do you want to marry Henley?” Gerald asked again.

Doreen said, “So what if I don’t? I’m engaged. If I don’t marry him, my family will suffer a great loss. They will not

allow me to do that.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Gerald smiled and said, “I see.”

Doreen frowned and shook her head when she heard Gerald’s words.

She did not think Gerald could do anything. She shook her head and said toward the door, “Audrey, come in.”

Audrey walked in. She said with a smile, “Your chatting is so brief.”

Doreen nodded and stood up. “We have to go back. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Henley knows.”

Gerald thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright. I’ll send you off.”

Audrey went to pay the bill. The three of them walked toward the parking lot.

Suddenly, Gerald raised his eyebrow because he realized someone was following him.

After Audrey and Doreen left, Gerald patted his forehead and said, “I forgot to ask them why they were in Los

Angeles.”

At the same time, two people walked toward him from behind. One of them stepped forward and patted Gerald on the

shoulder.

“What is the matter?” Gerald asked calmly.

The man looked at Gerald and said peacefully, “Mr. McHale wants to see you.”

Mr. McHale? Fletcher?

Gerald remembered Audrey taking him as a shield.

Gerald had asked Valery about Fletcher the day before and found Fletcher’s family was extraordinary. Bradley was

known as the richest man in Los Angeles, and the McHale family was as rich as Bradley.

The McHale family and the Herman family competed with each other in business, so their relationship was not close.

With similar family backgrounds and ages, Fletcher and Audrey had known each other since they were young. And they studied at the same university. After entering university, Fletcher began to pursue Audrey.

Fletcher also graduated from California State University in Sacramento, the best university in the country. Many rich people sent their children there.

“I am free now, so I can go with you to solve the problem.” Gerald touched his nose and looked at the two men. “Show me the way.”

His words made the two men stunned.

They thought Gerald would refuse them and that they had to threaten him.

However, Gerald agreed. The two men didn’t need to show their means. One of them said coldly, “Come with us.”

With that, the man pushed Gerald.

Gerald smiled and followed them to get into a car.

After starting the car, one of the men sneered, “You are bold. How dare you want to have a relationship with Audrey? She will be Mr. McHale’s wife.”

Gerald smiled and ignored the man.

“When you meet Mr. McHale, you will cry,” the man said ruthlessly.

The words had not threatened Gerald. He felt happy because he could take a car back to the downtown area for free.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped at a garage. Several luxury cars were at its entrance. After Gerald got out of the car, one of the men pushed him and said, “Go in.”

Gerald walked into the garage and found it was quite large. It looked like a garage outside, but there was everything inside.

There was a tennis court, a small basketball court, and a loft. Gerald glanced around and saw more than ten luxury cars in the hall.

There was a large open space with many sofas. Nearly twenty young men and women were sitting on them. Gerald looked at them and found several acquaintances.

Fletcher had blue hair, and Henley was sitting next to Fletcher. They were the most eye–catching ones.

Gerald did not expect Henley to be there. A beautiful girl in sexy clothes was sitting beside Henley, and Henley’s arm was around her waist.

Gerald frowned when he saw that.

Henley was surprised when he saw Gerald.

Apart from Henley, there were other acquaintances, such as Matthew and Adriel. The wounds on their faces hadn’t healed. Gerald also saw some other men he had met at the gathering of wealthy young men.

When Gerald went in, Fletcher was bragging. “Henley, I have spent a lot of money on this base. Few shops could do better than mine in terms of modifying cars. Many friends have gotten their cars modified here.”

“Mr. McHale, Gerald is here,” said the two men who brought Gerald in.

Gerald was pushed to stand before the group of people. Henley looked at Gerald and said with a smile, “Is he Audrey’s boyfriend?”

Fletcher was stunned. He looked at Henley and asked, “Henley, do you know him?”

Henley said with a smile, “Yes, I know him. However, you can deal with him however you like. He and I are not friends, and I even have a grudge against him.”

Fletcher got relieved. He crossed his legs and sat there casually. He looked up at Gerald and said indifferently, “Bow to

me first.”

Nearly twenty people fixed their eyes on Gerald. Most of the girls were pretty and in sexy clothes. They looked at Gerald as if they were watching a show.

Matthew and Adriel sat there and looked at Gerald with malicious pleasure.

Fletcher said gloomily, “Do you think I’m afraid of you just because Bradley protects you? I’m not a coward like Decker. I have told you to bow to me. Don’t you understand?“.

After Fletcher finished his words, some people beside him held baseball bats, steel pipes, and tennis rackets and took a

few steps forward.

Gerald touched his nose and smiled. He glanced at Fletcher and said, “Don’t bark at me like a dog.”
