Donald yawned and said, “All right, that's enough. It seems like all the weird things happening on the construction site are just products of your imagination. I'm going to head home and sleep. You should get some rest as well.”
After urging Filbert to go home, Donald hailed a taxi and returned to the mansion.
As soon as Donald arrived at the main entrance of the mansion, he heard a middle-aged woman speaking loudly in the living room.
“Leonard, I'm your sister, and I don't mean to offend you. However, you're a member of the Wilson family. You're born with the talent to do business! Look what you're doing right now! Why are you selling vegetables and reading the newspapers? You don't have the dignity of a man representing the Wilson family!” the middle-aged woman mocked.
“It's not that, Tracy. We're just not meant to do business...” Leonard responded.
“Is that up to you to decide? Why aren't you listening to me? Take my husband as an example. Before he met me, he said he couldn't do business. Take a look at him now!” The middle-aged woman, Tracy Wilson, put her hand on her husband's shoulder and uttered smugly, “He's now the general agent of Schlaufen in South Chanaea! He's in charge of all the matters concerning the brand.”
Tracy kept boasting in front of Jennifer and her parents, while the family of three merely listened quietly.
Sick of Tracy's haughty attitude, he closed the door and entered the mansion.
Jennifer, who was exhausted, instantly perked up when she saw Donald. “You're finally home, Darling!”
Jennifer rose to her feet and threw herself at Donald.
Donald lifted her up and spun around with her in his arms before putting her back down.
“I thought you weren't coming home tonight?” Jennifer asked.
“I'm done with the matters at the construction site, so I came back immediately. I was worried that you might be too scared to sleep alone tonight,” Donald replied.
