Chapter 30 Forced To Divorce
A news presenter reported: “For the first time in Pollerton’s history, Pollerton Pharma has encountered a disruption to its capital flow. After retiring for fifteen years, Louis Queen has also received a jail sentence. Harrison Queen’s body has been found. Police suspect that he took his own life to escape punishment.”
As the news reports flooded in, Linda and Kevin were dumbstruck.
Harrison’s dead? Pollerton Pharma is gone?
Jennifer froze, an unfathomable expression on her face. In all fairness, Harrison had always treated her well. Although his methods had been a little too extreme, she could not deny that he genuinely liked her.
After staring blankly into space for a long time, Linda burst into tears. “It’s over! We’re left with nothing now!”
As for Kevin, he was shaking like a leaf.
Harrison is dead. I’ve lost my investor. My ten million… My Ferrari… I’ve lost everything!
Kevin felt as though his whole world had come crashing down around him, and he lunged toward Donald. “It’s all your fault! You did this! If you hadn’t interfered, I would’ve already gotten that ten million from Harrison!”
When Donald rose to his feet abruptly, Jennifer called out, “Donald! He’s my brother, so don’t even think about it. And you, Kevin. You’d better stop that too!”
However, Kevin ignored her completely and charged at Donald.
With a swift kick, Donald sent Kevin flying backward onto the couch.
His forehead happened to catch on a sharp edge, leaving a deep gash. Crimson blood began to flow from the wound at once. Kevin wiped one hand over his bloodied face and shot Donald a malicious glare. “Look at what he’s done, Jennifer! He kicked me! He dared to strike me!”
Seeing that, Linda went berserk and rushed toward Donald. “Donald Campbell, have you gone mad?”
A look of impatience appeared on Donald’s face.
Jennifer quickly grabbed his arm. “Don’t hit them… That’s my mother and brother…”
But at that moment, Linda leaped forward to grab Donald’s right arm and sank her teeth into his arm.
Donald furrowed his brows and jerked his arm. A burst of energy flowed through his arm, causing Linda to stagger backward and collapse onto the floor.
Sprawled on the floor with her hair disheveled, she began flailing her legs and howling like a madwoman. “I don’t want to live anymore! Jennifer, if you don’t divorce this man, I’m better off dead! Just look at what he did to me! He attacked me!”
“Donald! Didn’t I just tell you not to do that?” Jennifer yelled, enraged.
“Should I have allowed her to hit me without retaliating?” Donald replied, a little disappointed at Jennifer’s response. Meeting her gaze, he asked, “Would any mother ever treat her daughter as a commodity? Even I was shocked at such extreme measures.”
His tone gradually became indifferent as he continued, “Even though Kevin is your brother, he drugged you and nearly ruined your reputation. Why would a brother do something like that?”
