The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 100

Heaving a sigh, Conner nodded and said, “No. The Campbell clan's too scary. Do you know how much money and connections they have? That, I have no idea. I've only met the Campbells once, but I know right away that's what a true aristocratic family looks like.”

Nigel's eyes burned with resolution as he said, “I'm still young. Hence, it's still possible for me to make the Wilson family of Tayhaven a world-renowned, affluent family.”

He paused before leaving the room, then walked to the “goldfish bowl” and scanned his surroundings. “There's still half an hour left until the banquet begins. You all should get changed in the room next door.”

Only then did the crowd disperse, rushing to their respective pre-arranged rooms.

Everyone had an individual changing room to themselves, where each was cleaned till spick and span earlier.

Jennifer was feeling troubled.

Upon seeing that, Linda asked, “Jenny, what's the matter?”

Jennifer replied softly, “I didn't know the rules, so I don't have a gown with me.”

“Can you make it in time if you buy one now?” Linda asked. She was worried when she arrived at that idea.

Jennifer shook her head in response. “I'll look around and find a fitting one.”

Nigel strode toward her as she spoke.

Jennifer stopped dead in her tracks and gazed at Nigel, casting a complex expression.

Although Nigel treated her well, she was displeased with his decision. She felt like she had let him down, thus feeling remorse at that moment.

Nonetheless, Nigel was his usual self.

Putting on a usual, nonchalant look, he said calmly, “If you didn't bring a gown, I can arrange someone to get one for you. I think we have all the sizes.”

It was then that a tall usherette appeared behind him, intending to take Jennifer somewhere to choose her gown.

Jennifer pondered for a moment before declining, “It's fine. I think I have one with me.

Her father and mother were throwing glances at her, gesturing at her to accept the offer.

To their dismay, Nigel had already faked a smile while shaking his head. His last bit of affection toward Jennifer had vanished at that moment. With that, he turned and slunk away.

His eyes darkened as he turned away as if a storm was brewing in the dark orbs. He had made up his mind that he would get Jennifer into his bed by any means and tear down her last defenses.
