Her tone when she called him was affectionate as ever.
With a frosty look on her face, Beatrice walked over and grabbed Ysabel's right arm. “Come back here!”
When Jennifer walked over, Ysabel immediately let go of her arms in fear. Then, she looked at Jennifer panickily, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
“Jennifer, if you don't want him anymore, can't you give him to me?” she said softly.
Jennifer froze for a second before feeling amused and baffled by her words.
Meanwhile, Donald was speechless, too.
As Jennifer looked at Donald, she asked, “Aren't you going to give me an explanation about what happened today?”
After giving it some thought, Donald answered, “There's nothing to say anyway. You don't need to know the details.”
Jennifer nodded. “They all came for the sake of Old Mr. Campbell, right?
He is a fortune teller, and so far, his fortune-telling is accurate. The people that came tonight were all from the underground. They must have had their fortunes and geomancy read by Old Mr. Campbell, and they wholeheartedly trust the readings they got from Old Mr. Campbell. Am I right?”
Donald's expression remained impassive as he answered, “You can say that.”
Jennifer's eyes widened as realization dawned on her. “I knew it. However, I have advice for you. Donald, you have to live your life conscientiously. Both Zayne and Jason's hands are dirty.
Moreover, they're ruthless and cruel people. What if Old Mr. Campbell’s readings become inaccurate one day? I'm afraid the first thing they'll do is go after you.”
Donald stayed silent. He did not know how to react to her words.
Linda sneered. “I thought you have something up your sleeve, but it turns out it's just some old charlatan doing fortune-telling. And the funny thing is, they all believed it!”
Kevin mocked him too. “You're such a loser. Stay away from us, Donald.
You're the abandoned one of the Campbell clan, and your story is also made into a book! If the Campbell clan had some free time on their hands, the first one they'll go for will be you!”
Leonard nodded his head as he agreed with what Kevin said. “That's right! You're already divorced from Jennifer. She's currently the CEO of Jennard Construction, and her company won a project bid of two billion. She's in the prime of her life. Please don't sabotage her. I don't want what happened to Raymond ten years ago to happen to her!”
Christian snorted. “Initially, I thought you were something, but in the end, you're just a loser! You're a good-for-nothing who relies on fortune-telling to con people.”
Donald chuckled dryly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
This was human nature. It was interesting if one thought about it.
Then, he looked at Jennifer and awaited her response.
Will she defend me?
No. She won’t.
Jennifer still stared at him in
disappointment.
At that moment, he became listless, turned, and walked outside.
His retreating back looked exceptionally lonely and sorrowful.
Sometimes, when the path in front was dark and stormy winds hindered one's way, one would still need to walk alone. Hence, this was what Donald should do.
“Donald! Wait for me! Please wait!” Ysabel broke free from Beatrice’s grip and ran after Donald.
“You little brat! If you go there, don't you ever come back again!” Beatrice screamed shrilly at the back.
“Mom, I'll explain it to you later!” Ysabel turned around and waved at her mother.
Her smile was dazzling and emanated a youthful aura.
On the other side, Christian was seen talking to Jennifer. “Jennifer, let's continue where we've left off. Do you want to discuss the equity financing proposal?”
Jennifer shook her head and said, “Forget it. I suddenly don't feel like doing it anymore. I'll think of something on my own.”
When Donald had just exited
Rivebale Hotel, Ysabel caught up with him. “Please wait for me, Donald! Wait!”
“Why are you chasing after me?” Donald turned around to look at her.
Ysabel clung on Donald. “I want to be with you!”
Sighing, Donald replied, “Please stop messing around. Your mom told you to stay away from me.”
“Hmph! She's just obstinate!” Ysabel snorted before continuing, “I still think you're the coolest and most handsome guy in the world!”
