Especially when George and Jennifer appeared together, the more love they showed for each other, the deeper the wound inflicted on Tomas' heart, the colder Tomas became towards her.
And so, Donna grew to hate Jennifer more and more.
Why should Jennifer effortlessly win the love of both brothers and live so happily, outshining her the moment she married into the family?
Why should she endure such hardship.
George and Jennifer’s love shone brightly.
While her own love was dim and shadowed.
Donna continued, “Then there was this old board member who applied for resignation and went back to his hometown to live out his old age. He had been with George ever since he took over the group and was instrumental in helping him establish a foothold. George thought he wanted to retire due to old age, so he gave him a generous reward to ensure his comfortable retirement.”
Donna paused before adding, “But later, George found out that he had actually returned home for a surgery at Mercy Hospital due to health problems. The old man didn’t want to worry them. When George learned of this, he wanted to visit him that very night.”
Donna’s thoughts seemed to drift back to that evening, “At that time, Tomas' loathing for George had peaked, and my resentment towards Jennifer had burrowed deep into my bones. I was aware that Tomas had orchestrated an ambush at the clinic, planning to blow up the entire place upon George’s arrival, taking the old man along with it.”
Because that “old man” had always been a staunch supporter of George, while showing nothing but disdain for Tomas and for her, the two of them had endured him for far too long.
