The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 23

Immediately Kevin turned with eyes wide open and stared at Donald in disbelief. “Wow, a Bentley Continental GT costs more than six million. Did you win the lottery or something?”

Skylar touched the side of the car reverently, envy blazing in her eyes.

“Get in,” Donald repeated with a frown.

Kevin hurriedly opened the door to the passenger seat and slid in, his fingertips grazing every detail of the vehicle's plush interior as he made awed noises.

“Keep your hands to yourself. The money you lost is nearly sufficient to purchase this car,” Donald ordered in a deadpanned voice.

That made Kevin stiffen at once. “I wasn't the only one who lost the money...”

Donald didn't respond.

“How did you get this car?” Skylar piped up.

“I borrowed it.”

Kevin pouted. “Who would be so rich to lend you a luxury car?”

“Lana Collins,” Donald replied.

Upon hearing that, Skylar's eyes rounded with shock. “What's your relationship with her? Why would she loan this car to you?”

“I'm her bodyguard.”

Skylar promptly lost interest after hearing that nugget of information and sagged in her seat. A look of distaste showed on her face as she snidely commented, “So you're a bodyguard now?”

A sigh came from Kevin. “I don't want to meddle, but isn't there nothing left between you and Jennifer? Why don’t you let her go? If you love her, you should do free her from your marriage. She will only suffer being with you. Besides, Harrison likes her, and more importantly, he's rich enough to provide her with a better life.”

Donald shot an inscrutable glance at Kevin.

Instantly, Kevin felt chills run down his spine as he stopped talking

altogether. What's with Donald? He's devoid of emotions like a zombie. At the same time, it seems like he's arrogant and looks down on others.

With a mocking sigh, Skylar added, “It's not a good idea to make comparisons. After all, Harrison is the heir to Pollerton Pharma while you're merely a bodyguard.”

At the same time, she held back from uttering her thoughts. Besides, Harry gave me a million without even asking me why I needed the money. See how generous he is? How can you compare to him?

“One more word from you, and I'll kick you out of the car,” Donald warned coldly.

Skylar gave a condescending chuckle and started taking selfies with her phone. Then, she typed up a message that read, Harry, thank you for today. We should meet up when you're free. I'll give you anything you desire.

A heavily edited selfie that had gone through several rounds of filters was attached before she sent the message to Harrison.

Ten seconds later, the phone in Donald's pocket chirped with an incoming notification, and he narrowed his eyes.

Skylar's gaze instantly snapped over to him as she eyed him warily. Suspicion flashed across her mind for a second before she dismissed it. It must be a coincidence.

Soon after, they arrived in front of Pollerton Pharma to find Jennifer on her knees, her eyes red and swollen. She had clearly been crying for some time now.

Donald got out of the car and handed her a tissue while soothing her, “Everything's okay now. Don't cry.”

She raised her head, and joy shone in her eyes before she dissolved into more tears. She sprang to her feet, lept into his arms, and buried her face against his chest. “Why am I being subjected to such humiliation? Harrison was right. A poor couple can never be happy. I wouldn't have to put up with this if you were a little more accomplished than you are now.”

Tears and snot ran down her face as she held on tightly to Donald's waist.

Meanwhile, Donald inhaled the fragrance of her hair and ran his fingers through the silky strands. “It's all over now. I got Kevin and Skylar back.”

“Really? Where?” She exclaimed in wonder. “How did you do it?”
