“It's okay. I have enough confidence to lift us out of our current state,” Donald reassured.
Jennifer did not say anything further.
A knock sounded on the door at five o'clock, followed by Kevin's voice. “Harrison, are you still here?”
Even though they were separated by a door, Donald and Jennifer could still feel the excitement in Kevin's tone.
Indeed, Kevin was eager to know the outcome of things. After all, Harrison had promised to hand over his Ferrari and buy Kevin a house after their plan succeeded.
Outside, Kevin rubbed his hands excitedly while Linda stood next to him with an equally keen expression.
He said, “I thought about it, and I think I'll ask Harrison for five million since I'm doing him this favor.”
A series of chuckles came from Linda as she boldly stated, “Five million? We have to at least ask for ten million!”
Kevin gave her a thumbs up. He then took out a key and opened the door but was shocked to see Jennifer snuggling in Donald's arms on the couch.
“Huh? Why are you here? Where's Harrison?” Kevin was a little unhappy that Harrison was not around, but he also felt slightly pitiful for Donald.
He thought that Harrison had succeeded in sleeping with Jennifer behind Donald's back.
“I chased him away. Also, let me clarify that I kicked him out before he could do anything, so Jennifer is still mine,” said Donald with an indifferent expression and an icy tone.
Hearing that, both Kevin and Linda were shocked.
“Donald, what do you think you're doing? Why did you chase Harrison away?” Linda snarled.
It enraged her that the ten million she could have earned from letting Harrison sleep with her daughter had slipped through her fingers.
Because Donald had got in the way, she was now empty-handed.
Even Kevin's eyes turned red as the sudden twist enraged him. He rushed over to hit Donald as he barked, “Give me my ten million back!”
As Donald looked at the mother-son duo, all sense of rage within him imploded.
He had never experienced such humiliation in his life.
How dare Kevin help out with Harrison's dirty trick by spiking Jennifer's drink? Iflhadn't strategically placed a lot of informants around Jennifer, she would have been in danger!
Donald rose to his feet slowly. “How shameless can you be? You're willing to sell your daughter for the sake of money?”
Then, he picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and shook it in front of Kevin. “These intense sleeping pills aren't even available on the market. I suppose you got them from Harrison?”
He stared at Kevin and had an urge to chop the latter's head off.
However, he would never do it; He knew that Jennifer would hate him forever if he did.
She was his most treasured person and his weakness at the same time.
