Jennifer broke free from Kevin. She ran toward Donald happily. “You’re finally here!”
Donald grabbed Jennifer’s hand and did not even bother to look at the group of people in the house. “Mm. Come with me.”
“Stay right there!” Leonard shouted.
Linda also yelled, “Jennifer! If you exit the gates of this house, then don’t you dare come back!”
Donald glared at them. “If she can’t come back, then so be it. I’ll buy a house for Jennifer.”
Peterson’s expression darkened, causing him to look intimidating. He stated nonchalantly, “Stay right there.”
Although his voice was not loud, it sounded authoritative. Linda and Kevin, who were arguing, instantly fell silent. Peterson would never let Jennifer go.
There was a reason for that.
Jennifer, Lana, and Reina were the most promising young entrepreneurs in Pollerton.
The reason why was because Donald planned to promote his controlled fusion technology in Pollerton. If he managed to do that, Pollerton would become the new hub for commercial and business activities.
Moreover, Jennifer was the one responsible for the Lord Campbell Avenue project. There was a high chance that she would be the first to get her hands on that technology.
The question of whether Donald was in love with Jennifer or not was a no-brainer.
It was simply not possible because everyone in Pollerton heard that Ysabel was the woman Donald loved.
That was why a lot of people had their desires stirred. Since they did not dare to pursue Ysabel, they believed that Jennifer was the next best thing.
Jennifer and Ysabel were cousins, after all.
Whoever pursued Jennifer would be able to interfere with Lord Campbell’s affairs. That person could get Jennifer to negotiate with Ysabel. It would become much easier for the person to win the bids of one or two projects from Lord Campbell.
Peterson had also come here because he received orders from a big shot.
This was what a broker did, after all.
Donald stopped and looked at Peterson when he saw the latter opening his mouth.
Peterson said, “You must be Donald. I remember now. You’re the character in The Abandoned Children Of The Campbell Clan, right?”
Donald remained silent. He simply looked at Peterson indifferently, waiting for the man to speak again.
“You and Jennifer are already divorced. I also heard that you have a short lifespan. Stop bothering Jennifer, okay? What can you even offer her? Money? A house, or maybe a car?” Peterson said all of that with an arrogant expression on his face.
“Love,” Donald responded casually.
Peterson looked extremely disdainful. “Can love put food on the table?”
Brandon lifted his hand mid-air slightly. Noticing that, his son instantly shut his mouth. The elder then proceeded to say, “Donald. Since today is Jennifer’s birthday, we’ve booked thirty tables at Grand Laurel. All the guests there are big shots. Even the top dog of Terrandya Provincial Center will attend the banquet. Therefore, Jennifer has to come with us today.”
“That’s right. Also, you know what Grand Laurel is like. The average person is expected to spend ten thousand there. Since we booked thirty tables today, the banquet will cost millions. Would you be able to afford that?” Peterson’s mother chimed in.
Brandon continued, “I have no idea where the place you booked is at. Also, how many people will be there?”
A snarky smirk appeared on Donald’s face. “It’s at South Light Street. Jennifer and I will be the only ones there.”
Peterson laughed out loud. “South Light Street? What high-end restaurants exist there? Could you be referring to a small food street? Hahaha!”
Kevin intentionally mocked Donald by saying, “Oh! Sky Garden is at South Light Street, then! Did you also buy the whole place?”
When the group heard that, they all started laughing out loud.
They thought it was absurd!
The seats at Sky Garden were fully booked for well over a month, after all. The official website of Sky Garden also showed that some wealthy people, as well as influential figures of Pollerton had made reservations there.
Donald stated in a serious tone, “Indeed. The venue is Sky Garden.”
The group looked at each other. Then, all of them began laughing once again.
“Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter! Donald, you really do love to joke!” Kevin guffawed.
