The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 401

The first thing Donald did after he woke up was to go and check on Ysabel.

Members of the Stern family were crowded outside the ward, each of them bustling about and behaving ingratiatingly.

Many strangers and a few entrepreneurs had also started coming to the hospital to visit Ysabel, uttering all sorts of flattering remarks.

“Ms. Zimmerman, please put in a good word for me when Lord Campbell returns.”

“Get lots of rest, Ms. Zimmerman. You'll only have the energy to meet with Lord Campbell once you recover.”

“You're so fortunate to have earned Lord Campbell's affections.”

Even Beatrice's social status seemed to have risen due to others holding Ysabel in such high esteem.

Although Ysabel still looked pale after regaining consciousness, she would be fine after resting for some time.

As soon as Donald arrived at the hospital, the Stern family swarmed forward to block his path.

The first person to stop him was Linda. “What do you think you're doing?”

She narrowed her eyes at him, looking utterly displeased. “I'm telling you, regardless of whether it's Ysabel or Jennifer, you can't have either of them. Lord Campbell likes Ysabel, and Tristan likes Jennifer. As for you, you don't hold a candle to either of those men. Don't meet with Ysabel and Jennifer in the future. Do you think you'll be able to take responsibility if you offend Tristan and Lord Campbell?”

Donald was stunned for a long while.

There's a saying that goes, "Repeat a lie enough, and it becomes the truth. "Is this the terrifying power of rumors?

One of the Stern family's elders said solemnly, “Donald, you're seven years older than Ysabel. She's still young, so don't pester her anymore. It wouldn’t do for Lord Campbell to misunderstand the situation.”

Ysabel heard the commotion from inside the ward. Upon learning that Donald had arrived, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lord Campbell? The person standing in front of all of you is Lord Campbell himself! Doesn't anyone among you know who he is?

Nonetheless, she dared not say anything. All she could say was, “Let Donald come in.”

All the Stern family members objected immediately, and Ysabel rolled her eyes. “If you don't let him in, I'll make sure Lord Campbell hears about this.”

Only then did the Stern family give in.

When Donald walked in, Ysabel broke into a smile. She looked exceptionally happy.

“Mason was the one who sent the assassin,” he told her.

She shook her head. “I guessed as much. However, I don't particularly feel like pursuing the matter.”

“That's all right. I’ll pursue the matter further,” came Donald's reply.
