“That’s what you wanted. I don't want to live a life like that!” Jennifer said.
“Fine. Since you don't want a life like this, then tell me, what kind of life do you want?” Kevin's voice was trembling, and his eyes widened as if he wanted to eat Jennifer up.
It’s our closest chance to become part of the Campbell clan!
There was deep sorrow in Jennifer's eyes. “I once had the best life, but it was destroyed by you people!”
Smack!
Linda slapped Jennifer's face. “B*tch! You're still thinking of Donald, aren't you? Tell you what? Don't you even think about it as long as I'm still alive! Both of them might have the same surname but just look at the difference between them. What can Donald give you? Huh? Tell me! Besides, Tyrone might just end Donald when he's got nothing to do during his trip to Pollcrton. So, you'd better behave yourself.”
“Whoever wants to marry him can go ahead. I'm not marrying him.” Jennifer touched her face.
“This is so frustrating! Do you really want to make me die of anger?” Linda asked.
A trace of sadness flashed past Jennifer's eyes. “I'm just a tool to you guys, anyway. A tool for you to gain power and wealth. Then again, tools have feelings too. I get heartbroken too, you know? Have you forgotten what your attitude was like at the chemical plant in the western suburbs?”
“I don't care. You've got to marry him. If you don't, I'll jump down from this floor now!” Linda threatened while standing by the balcony, sticking out half of her body. “Are you going to marry him or not?”
Jennifer immediately felt panicked.
If Linda were to actually jump from there, Jennifer would feel guilty about it for the rest of her life.
Leonard said solemnly, “Jenny, it hasn't been easy to raise you up since you were young. We might not be capable people, but we never let you suffer when you were young, right?”
Kevin chimed in, “Jennifer, if you make another big mistake, then let's just cut ties. In the future, we’ll go on our own paths.”
