Furious, Jennifer said, “I should've listened to Donald and washed my hands off you.”
Kevin responded coldly, “Donald? What's so great about him? Can he compare to Harrison or Nigel? Besides, ten or twenty million is nothing to you. If you had slept with Harrison back then, he would've given it to you. But you refused! Nigel had also wanted to sleep with you, but once again, you refused! And how about that mysterious person who gave you tens of millions, clothes, and jewelry? Why didn't you make the most of it? Any of these three men would've gladly given you all the money you wanted as long as you agreed to sleep with them. Even so, what did you do?”
Jennifer stared at him in utter disbelief. “Kevin Wilson! I'm your sister!”
Leaning in, Kevin continued, “You're also a woman. It's just sex. Why are you making such a big fuss? I don't understand why you had to fall for Donald! What does he have? What can he offer you? Tell me! He doesn't even have six hundred thousand, and he's only working as a security guard. After all
these years, what has he ever given me?”
Jennifer slapped Kevin hard across his face, then bolted out of the room.
Kevin spat on the floor, his gaze turning stone-cold. He muttered, “This makes things much easier. As long as Donald is out of the way, everything will be fine.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer saw her parents standing outside as soon as she walked out of the house.
While Leonard remained silent, Linda put her hands on her hips and said, “Kev is right. Why did you have to slap him?”
Those words left Jennifer suddenly feeling weary and too drained to explain herself. She flagged down a passing taxi, thinking of going somewhere far away when she heard Linda call out behind her.
“Jennifer! You'd better help to solve this matter tonight! Otherwise, all three of us will end ourselves right before your very eyes!"
Jennifer turned toward her with reddened eyes. “Will you only be happy after pushing
me off the edge?”
Leonard finally spoke. “He's your only younger brother. We raised you all those years and sent you off to university. But now that you've gotten somewhere in life, are you going to forget about us? No wonder people say that having daughters isn't a blessing. One can't rely on one's daughters.”
Trembling with rage, Jennifer got into the taxi without saying a word and headed straight for Supreme Nona Hotel.
