Son In Law Madness novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Speaking Of Power

As soon as Kevin hung up his phone, he looked over at the couch across from him where Jennifer spoke to their mother, Linda Stern.

“Is Donald really working as a bodyguard?” asked Linda.

Jennifer nodded.

Instantly, Linda snarled through gritted teeth, “That loser! He even closed down his company because of his damned grandfather. This won’t do. The two of you must file a divorce at once!”

Jennifer retorted helplessly, “Mom, I’m already married to him. How can you ask me to divorce him so easily?”

“I must have been blind back then for letting you marry a loser like him. He doesn’t stand a chance when compared to Harrison! The latter has money, power, and social connections. Look at Donald! What does he have? I don’t know why you married him! Ugh, I’m so pissed!” complained Linda with her hands on her waist.

All Jennifer could manage was a sigh.

“Jennifer, I have something to tell you,” Kevin said suddenly. He had his back facing Jennifer while he poured a cup of water and dropped in a white sleeping pill that dissolved instantly. Then, he walked over and handed the water to her.

After sighing once more, Jennifer spoke to him. “Kev, promise me that you’ll work hard from here on. Stop gambling, okay?”

Kevin flashed a stern expression and responded, “I promise you, Jennifer. Now, have some water. I have something important to tell you.”

Jennifer was a little confused but still drank half of the water in the cup without noticing anything wrong.

She then asked, “What’s up?”

“Donald might be cheating on you,” said Kevin seriously.

Jennifer’s face darkened as soon as she heard that. “Impossible. I know him well enough to know that he would never do that.”

Then, Kevin pulled out his phone and showed her a picture of Donald standing beside Wynter a few days ago. The picture was a little blurry as it got taken from a distance with bad lighting. Wynter’s face seemed blurry, but Jennifer could recognize Donald’s face anywhere.

Right away, a lump formed in her throat as tears trickled down her cheeks. She held the cup in her hands and sunk into the couch. “How can he do this to me? I like him so much. How can this be?”

She felt so helpless at that moment. Soon, her head began to spin while her eyelids felt heavy.

“Mom, how could he do this to me?” she cried out between sobs.

Linda looked at Jennifer with a pained look and consoled, “It’s okay, Jennifer. Stop crying. He’s a cheater. Just go and get a divorce with him tomorrow.”

“Jennifer, Donald is not the man for you. Divorcing him would be wiser, and it’s best for everyone,” Kevin chimed in.

At that moment, Jennifer felt dizzy, and her whole body was weak. It was as though all her strength had drained.

“Jenny, what’s wrong. Don’t scare me!” Linda was shocked to see Jennifer in that state, so she quickly rushed to support the latter.

However, Kevin stepped in and held Linda back.

Linda looked over at him with confusion and saw him smiling eerily. He eventually admitted, “I did it. Harrison is on his way.”

Linda was stunned, but she understood what was going on immediately. She hesitated for a moment, but she stayed rooted to the spot in the end.

Meanwhile, Jennifer could barely keep her eyes open anymore. “Kev, w-what did you give me?”

She looked behind her with difficulty and saw the door was open. Then, Harrison entered in a white suit while he stared at Jennifer with a predatory gaze.

“Mom, Ms. Sawyer invited you for a game of poker. You should get Dad too,” said Kevin as he looked at his mother.

Linda knew immediately what was going on.

She hesitated again but clenched her teeth in the end and looked at Harrison. “Be nice and gentle with my daughter. Don’t hurt her.”
