Instantly, Kevin lost all his strength. His eyes reddened as he questioned, “Why is it pink? It could have been red!”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s pink,” Skylar whispered.
Kevin was confused. “What do you mean?”
Skylar tapped his head forcefully with a finger. “Are you silly? I can drive it!”
Realization dawned on Kevin. The next moment, he felt demotivated again. “But Jennifer does not want to gift it to me.”
Skylar pouted her lips. “I don’t care. I want this car as my betrothal gift! Otherwise, I won’t agree to marry you.”
“Let me think of a way,” replied Kevin as he gritted his teeth.
“Did you do all these to please me?” Jennifer whispered at Donald.
The man nodded. “Do you like it?”
Jennifer nodded her head earnestly. “I do. I really do. Can you tell me what’s going on, though?”
Before Donald could speak, Leonard and Linda started gossiping in a hushed tone on the side.
“I don’t think these gifts are from Donald. I’m sure someone else is behind this. Maybe it’s Tristan or Lord Campbell,” Leonard guessed.
“The arrival of these guests is rather unusual. Lord Campbell is in love with Ysabel, and Ysabel is Jennifer’s cousin. On top of that, Jennifer won the bid for Lord Campbell Avenue. So… I’m guessing these people wanted to establish relationships with Jennifer,” he continued with confidence. Leonard was pretty sure he had the correct assumption.
Even though his voice was low, many guests heard his words.
Linda peered at Donald. “It’s true. The happenings of today are rather abnormal. I think you have a point.”
She paused before clapping her hands together as if a thought had just flashed across her mind. “That’s right. You are right. Tristan is in love with Jennifer. That’s why he arranged everything!”
Hearing her words, Kevin’s and Skylar’s hope and anticipation for Donald instantly dissipated.
That’s right. Donald is just a loser. He doesn’t have the capability to arrange for today’s events. It must have been because of the collaboration between Tristan and Lord Campbell. That’s why Yund Group decided to do them this favor.
Meanwhile, Peterson and Brandon regained their confidence after listening to the conversation between Linda and Leonard. They, too, believed that the elderly couple’s speculations were accurate.
After all, both of them knew about Lord Campbell’s fondness for Ysabel and that Lord Campbell would treat Jennifer like family because she was Ysabel’s cousin.
Even nobodies like them had the thoughts in mind, so evidently, the big bosses of Pollerton would be thinking the same thing too.
Peterson laughed. “I thought an abandoned child of the Campbell clan like you had struck the jackpot. It turns out you’re just basking in the glory of Lord Campbell!”
Basking in the glory?
Zayne and Ethan gave Peterson odd looks upon hearing his words.
Idiot! Does he know who the man standing before him is? That’s Lord Campbell! One of the most talented and dazzling fearsome men on the international stage! The man behind everything!
However, both of them didn’t dare to speak before Donald did. They merely observed the unfolding event with interest.
Jennifer asked, “Donald, is it true?”
“How would you feel about it if it’s true?”
He wanted to see how Jennifer would react to it.
“I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just thrilled that you took the initiative to ask me out today. I don’t care whether you are basking in the glory of Lord Campbell or not,” Jennifer explained.
The truth was that Jennifer didn’t believe they were Donald’s doing too. These gifts were exorbitant to her and were not something an ordinary wealthy family could afford.
The crowd decided not to probe the matter further while Kevin and Skylar snatched the car plate before heading out to install it on the vehicle.
“That car is a gift to you. Don’t simply give it to someone else,” Donald ordered.
Kevin turned his head around abruptly. “What does that have to do with you? You are not the one who gifted it to her. It’s a present given to Jennifer by Lord Campbell! He has taken a liking to Jennifer and is using it to get on her good side!”
