“Uh, can you let go of me first?” Donald stated helplessly. I shouldn’t have come to Sky Garden. She’s as persistent as gum. It’ll be challenging to shake her off!
When Eleanor studied abroad back then, she was abducted by Leviathan, the Sea Monster, when she passed through the straits of Musbane.
If it were not for Donald, she would have fallen into Leviathan’s grasp.
Leviathan was bold as he commanded a private naval force. The Yund family tried negotiating with him many times, but Leviathan ignored them.
In the end, Donald appeared and broke through Leviathan’s force by himself, delivering a heavy blow to the latter.
Ever since that incident, like a god of war descending from the heavens, Donald left a deep impression on Eleanor’s mind.
During these few years, Eleanor always compared the talented young men she met with Donald, yet she realized no one could be as good as Donald.
In truth, other than Neil and Yves, Eleanor was the only member of the Yund family who knew of Donald’s identity.
Eleanor had never told anyone about the incident that occurred in the straits of Musbane.
Donald smiled bitterly once more. “Can I reserve Sky Garden tomorrow then?”
Eleanor seemed quite troubled. “Let me give my brother a call. If he disagrees, I’ll pull down his pants!”
Donald was bemused by her words. She’s truly a witch.
Neil answered Eleanor’s call soon. After all, this was a rule set by the Yund family, and Eleanor had no right to change it.
After Neil finished hearing her, he also did not know what to do. “This is the rule set by the first heir. I’m afraid this is quite difficult.”
“I don’t care. I want it changed!” Eleanor huffed.
“Who is that person? What’s their name?” Neil questioned.
Donald nodded and said, “Pass the phone to me.”
He took over the phone and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Yund. I am Donald, and the thing is—”
Before Donald could finish, Neil instantly interrupted, “Oh, it’s you, Mr. Campbell. If that’s so, there’s no problem at all. We won’t even charge you for anything.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll pay for the cost. Thank you, Mr. Yund,” Donald thanked him and returned the phone to Eleanor.
“You’re still as respectable as always. By the way, whose birthday are you celebrating?” Eleanor asked happily.
“My ex-wife,” Donald replied.
Eleanor promptly became displeased as she pouted. “I knew she was a sly seductress.”
“How is my ex-wife a seductress?” Donald asked.
“Well, she is,” Eleanor claimed.
Donald was too lazy to debate this problem.
Afterward, Eleanor looked at her phone again and spoke apologetically. “Sorry, Donald. The meeting with the board of directors is about to start. I’ll have to get to work.”
“Off you go, then.” Donald nodded.
“All of you better be more respectful and give better service,” Eleanor ordered as she pointed at Selina and the others.
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Selina lowered her head as she had not regained her composure.
“Swipe this.” Donald passed a card to Melantha.
The young receptionist’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Donald. Then, she rushed over excitingly, took the card, and swiped away fifty million.
Selina’s heart pounded against her chest as she watched, but she felt utterly envious later.
“Organize to your heart’s content. If you need more staffing, let me handle that,” Donald offered.
“Okay,” Melantha responded animatedly.
Bradley walked over as they spoke.
Nigel looked to the door, and he perked up abruptly.
About two thousand people were outside and had begun to clear the space. They wore security guard uniforms and were armed with electric batons as they surrounded Sky Garden.
“You won’t be able to get out of Sky Garden today, Donald!” Nigel threatened sinisterly.
