The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer)

Chapter 29

“It's okay. I have enough confidence to lift us out of our current state,” Donald reassured.

Jennifer did not say anything further.

A knock sounded on the door at five o'clock, followed by Kevin's voice. “Harrison, are you still here?”

Even though they were separated by a door, Donald and Jennifer could still feel the excitement in Kevin's tone.

Indeed, Kevin was eager to know the outcome of things. After all, Harrison had promised to hand over his Ferrari and buy Kevin a house after their plan succeeded.

Outside, Kevin rubbed his hands excitedly while Linda stood next to him with an equally keen expression.

He said, “I thought about it, and I think I'll ask Harrison for five million since I'm doing him this favor.”

A series of chuckles came from Linda as she boldly stated, “Five million? We have to at least ask for ten million!”

Kevin gave her a thumbs up. He then took out a key and opened the door but was shocked to see Jennifer snuggling in Donald's arms on the couch.

“Huh? Why are you here? Where's Harrison?” Kevin was a little unhappy that Harrison was not around, but he also felt slightly pitiful for Donald.

He thought that Harrison had succeeded in sleeping with Jennifer behind Donald's back.

“I chased him away. Also, let me clarify that I kicked him out before he could do anything, so Jennifer is still mine,” said Donald with an indifferent expression and an icy tone.

Hearing that, both Kevin and Linda were shocked.

“Donald, what do you think you're doing? Why did you chase Harrison away?” Linda snarled.

It enraged her that the ten million she could have earned from letting Harrison sleep with her daughter had slipped through her fingers.

Because Donald had got in the way, she was now empty-handed.

Even Kevin's eyes turned red as the sudden twist enraged him. He rushed over to hit Donald as he barked, “Give me my ten million back!”

As Donald looked at the mother-son duo, all sense of rage within him imploded.

He had never experienced such humiliation in his life.

How dare Kevin help out with Harrison's dirty trick by spiking Jennifer's drink? Iflhadn't strategically placed a lot of informants around Jennifer, she would have been in danger!

Donald rose to his feet slowly. “How shameless can you be? You're willing to sell your daughter for the sake of money?”

Then, he picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and shook it in front of Kevin. “These intense sleeping pills aren't even available on the market. I suppose you got them from Harrison?”

He stared at Kevin and had an urge to chop the latter's head off.

However, he would never do it; He knew that Jennifer would hate him forever if he did.

She was his most treasured person and his weakness at the same time.

“That's none of your business. Do you think you're better than Harrison? He loves my sister very much. My sister will only suffer if she's with you!” Kevin raised his voice angrily.

“Get out of my house! Jennifer, you have to divorce Donald today! If not, I’ll end myself in front of you!” Linda shouted, feeling slightly out of breath as anger overwhelmed her.

“Mom, can't you think about how I feel? Donald treats me really well!” Tears gushed down from Jennifer's eyes again.

“So? Does he have enough money to give you a good life? Seriously! You're pissing me off!” Linda scowled.

She then strode forward, trying to grab Jennifer away from Donald. “Let's go. You're coming with me to find Harrison right now!”

Kevin immediately chimed in, “Yes! It's not too late to go and apologize to Harrison. Jennifer, come with us! As for you, Donald, I'll get a hundred people to chop you into pieces if you get in our way!”

“No! I'm not going!” shrilled Jennifer.

Slap!

It was then that Linda's palm struck Jennifer's face, leaving a bright red palm print behind.

Donald's face turned cold. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Linda in response.

Everyone was taken aback.

Linda glowered at Donald with disbelief. “Did you just slap me? How dare you!”

“Look at him. Jennifer, look at him! Is this the person that you've chosen to marry? He just slapped me! How dare he slap his mother-in-law?” Linda's face became distorted with sizzling fury.

“Damn you!” Kevin picked up a cup from the coffee table and was prepared to smash it on Donald.

However, Donald did not even bat an eyelash as his palm landed on Kevin's cheek at lightning speed.

The force of that slap caused the latter to become dumbstruck as he twirled on the spot.

No one noticed a red dot flickering between Kevin's eyebrows at this moment.

That was from the sniper, whose job was to protect Donald.

Before anyone noticed, Donald quickly made a hand signal, and the red dot disappeared.

“How dare you, Donald! Did you see that, Jennifer? He hit me too!” Kevin whined as he glared at Jennifer.

Donald picked up a piece of tissue and wiped his right hand, feeling disgusted.

Then, he pointed at the television. “Have a look! Your biggest financial backer is done for now.”

Linda and Kevin were both stunned as they looked at the television screen.

A piece of breaking news had gotten broadcasted.

Garrett, the Chairman of Pollerton Pharma, got arrested for suspected production and selling of fake vaccines. He would soon face the death penalty for his crimes. It also showed that Harrison, one of the directors of Pollerton Pharma, faced five to six charges, including illegal fundraising and drug smuggling. Moreover, the news stated that he had absconded, so no one knew his current whereabouts.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
