Donald knew what Hannah felt for him, but he already had Jennifer. He could not bring himself to be a heartless man to betray Jennifer.
Just as Donald was in a fix, Shadow appeared behind Hannah out of nowhere and knocked her out before she could even react.
Not sure if he should laugh or cry, Donald commented, “You're really merciless.”
Shadow snapped, “She would probably be a corpse by now if it weren't for the fact that you wouldn't allow it.”
Donald could only let out a sigh. “All right, they've had enough fun already. Come on. Give me a hand and take them to the room.”
Seeing that Shadow was going to lift Hannah, Donald said hurriedly, “You take Jennifer. I'll take her.”
Donald knew Shadow too well.
If Shadow were to carry Hannah upstairs, she might do something to her that would leave a side effect.
No matter what, they were friends. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
After settling the three drunk women, Donald lazed in the garden, smoking his cigarette while thinking of Hannah and Geraldine.
Hannah's not too bad. She'll go back when she feels better after staying here for a few days. Geraldine's the more troublesome one. It would be tricky if I were to help her regain the power in the Harper family.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Donald asked without turning around, “What's the progress of the investigation on the Harper family? Any news from Billy?”
Shadow said nothing and simply stared at Donald.
Right when Donald turned around in confusion, Shadow removed her mask and pressed her lips against his.
“I want whatever that woman gets.”
Donald was already having a headache from witnessing the three women's crazy behavior in the mansion earlier.
He never expected Shadow to be restless as well.
What put Donald in a difficult position was that he had a special relationship with Shadow.
Like her code name, she was Donald's shadow, and Donald was her everything.
