“If I hear you speak another word, I'll tell Kingsley to break off the partnership with you. Do you want to guess if Kingsley will do my bidding?” asked Donald.
Instantly, Kevin and his family shut their mouths.
Looking at the current state of things, it was highly possible that Kingsley would listen to Donald.
At that moment, Donald's phone rang. It was Ysabel. “Donald, where are you? My mom has encountered a bit of trouble. Can you come over?” Ysabel was Jennifer's cousin. In addition, she was also Linda’s niece.
“I'm not free,” Donald rejected without hesitation.
Ysabel's mother, Beatrice, and Jennifer's mother, Linda, were sisters. However, Linda was not willing to keep in contact with the former.
There was a reason for that.
Beatrice was a university lecturer. She was not only highly educated but also had a high income. She was a capable woman. Back then, Ysabel's father was also a lecturer at Pollerton University. As for Linda, she was merely a country bumpkin. She married Leonard, an average man.
Therefore, Linda had always been jealous of Beatrice.
Despite the fact that Ysabel's father passed away early on, she still continued to be jealous of Beatrice.
Linda's parents were still alive, but she had never taken up her responsibility to care for them. All along, Beatrice had been the one to do so.
Linda had always hoped that Jennifer would become successful, and they could then return to the Stern family and flaunt to them. However, her dream never came true.
The Stern family was not a prominent family in Pollerton. Most of its members were mediocre and unambitious.
However, they managed to raise two very capable businessmen.
One of them was called Jeremiah Stern, while the other was called Adrian Stern. Both of them were Jennifer's distant relatives, her uncles.
Jeremiah opened a few gas stations near the toll stations and service areas. As for Adrian, he was the general manager of sixteen toll stations along Pollerton's highway. He was a talented businessman.
