Audrey was at her office at Forever Group, pissed off. “Gerald has no manners at all. It’s already past 10, and he is still not here. He doesn’t want this job!”

As she gathered up the files, Audrey complained, “Humph, I thought about taking him to Sacramento. Now that he is late, I will rule out that possibility.”

With that, she slumped into the sofa. “But he has a Diamond Card from New Bank. He seems richer than me and doesn’t care about the job at all.”

The thought made her irritated.

The door was pushed open. Then, Bradley came in, looked at her with a smile, and said, “Are you mad at Gerald because he doesn’t come? Do you have a crush on Gerald?”

Audrey froze. The next moment, her face turned red as she said in a sweet voice, “Dad, don’t be ridiculous!”

“You will get married one day. Gerald is a good man. If you are interested in him, be more proactive. If a woman chases a man, the chances of them going into a relationship are much higher. Plus, you are so beautiful. Gerald will fall for you,” Bradley said.

“I’m not talking to you.” Audrey turned around, blushing.

“Alright, no more jokes. How is the handover?” Bradley asked.

“It’s almost done.” Audrey nodded.

Bradley pondered, walked to Audrey, and said, “When you attend Doreen’s engagement, stay away from their entanglements and the struggle between the wealthy families in Sacramento. Do you understand?”

“I know. You have been nagging at me for the past few days.” Audrey pouted.

Bradley said, “Another thing is about Gerald. Don’t pry into his business. As you can see, Gerald is rather low–key. He hates unwanted attention and doesn’t want others to know about what he did in Los Angeles. When you are in Sacramento, don’t tell anyone, including Doreen.”

“Come on. I won’t be bothered. Plus, he has a bad reputation in Sacramento. If I say that he is my assistant, I will probably be looked down upon,” Audrey said.

“Okay. Be safe on the way,” Bradley urged.

“I know, I know. I’m leaving. Hazel and Keira are waiting for me downstairs,” Audrey said.

Gerald appeared on the sixth floor of Glory World.

The security guard at the entrance greeted him politely, “Boss!”

Gerald nodded at him before walking into the company. He went straight to the general manager’s office.

He knocked on the door and pushed it open. Tyrone was in there, pacing back and forth.

Gerald asked, “What’s wrong?”

Tyrone said, letting out a breath, “Two things. First, your mother–in–law has made quite a scene in the company. I asked the security guards to send her away, but today she came again with a lawyer!”

Gerald was lost for words. Mary was so stubborn.

Gerald knew that Trevon would talk about what happened in the company at home. But Gerald didn’t think it was a big deal as he was not affected.

To his surprise, Mary was so shameless that she hired a lawyer to divide the shares of Glory World.

In fact, Gerald would have given them shares if they hadn’t done so many bad things to him and forced him into a dead end in divorce.

He would have been willing to give Glory World to them.

Gerald was never stingy.

However, Mary and her daughter were way out of line. He didn’t think it was worthwhile to give the company to them.

“What about the second thing?” Gerald rubbed his nose as he asked. He was not in a hurry to go over to see Mary.

“The second thing is that the company has run into a huge problem,” Tyrone said with a sigh.

Gerald asked with a frown, “Didn’t the company take over Forever Group? It should be booming.”

Tyrone explained, “It is booming, but we are a logistics company. Although our services are national, the main business lines include Los Angeles and Sacramento. But yesterday, the rent of Sacramento’s warehouse tripled. That will push us out of business.”

Gerald didn’t know much about rent. A frown marred his features. “If the increase is nonnegotiable, just move to

another location.”

“But I contacted many large logistics companies over there. They don’t want to collaborate with us. It is difficult to find other warehouses in a short time. I know the reason. Bradley has had a partnership with the largest logistics company there. Now that he thinks that we are stealing his business, he and the logistics company work together against us.”

Gerald frowned, and then muttered, “I plan to go to Sacramento. Send me the information about the company we are cooperating with. I’ll get this done.”

Tyrone was stunned, but then nodded, “Okay, you go to Sacramento, and I’ll get someone there to support you.”

Gerald nodded, stood up, and said, “Alright. Let’s go see Mary now!”

Tyrone sighed, “You are so down on your luck to have such a mother–in–law and ex–wife.”

Gerald smiled without saying anything. He walked towards the meeting room.

Apart from Mary, Irene and Vivian were both there. There was a middle–aged man, who carried a briefcase and wore a pair of glasses. He must be the lawyer hired by Irene and Mary.

When Mary saw Gerald, resentment flashed through her eyes.

But Gerald did not care. He walked to the opposite side and sat down, looking at the four people in front of them.

Irene was haggard due to sleep deprivation.

The divorce occurred just a few days ago. But Irene had turned from an energetic woman into someone worn out by daily hassles.

It felt entirely different.

The man looked at Gerald and said proudly, “Hello, Mr. Kenneth. I am Aaron Green, the acting lawyer hired by Irene. We suspect that you have secretly accumulated huge wealth, which is supposed to be the common property. This is the demand letter. Take a look. please.”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Gerald. “Mr. Kenneth, I know you used to work at a construction site and may not know much about laws. I am good at divorce cases, and I can tell you plaintiffs usually get more compensation than expected. So, I suggest you should settle it privately and give half of the shares to Ms. Irene

Everett.”

“Are you crazy?” Gerald interrupted him.

Aaron frowned. “Mr. Kenneth, watch your mouth.”

Gerald looked at him with disdain. “Glory World is my pre–marital asset. It has nothing to do with them. If you are going to take me to court, talk to the legal department of Glory World. I don’t want to waste time with you.”

With that, he got up and planned to walk out.

Gerald hated Mary and Irene so much that he didn’t want to see them again.

“Gerald, do we have to be like this?” Irene said as she looked at Gerald with tears streaming down her face.

Gerald chuckled as he turned to look at her. There was no sympathy in his eyes. “Have you never thought about why we got to this point? If you were not so mean and cruel when you divorced me, I would give the Glory World to you.”

Gerald sneered, “Glory World is not a big deal to me. I don’t care about it. I bought it because I was bored. I just bought it for fun.

“If you have any dignity, do not come to the company again. I have done my best to leave you a way out and give you that house.”
