Below the stage, shocked expressions appeared on the faces of Linda and Leonard as well.
“What did Donald just say?” Linda asked.
“I think he's gifting a company to Jennifer, and it sounds like a valuable company.”
Linda rolled her eyes at Leonard. “What does that mean? How much is it worth? Did you not listen carefully earlier?”
Leonard scratched his head awkwardly. “I thought Donald was spouting nonsense, so I didn't really pay attention to him.”
After Donald's speech, there were barely any highlights left at the Supreme Gala. Most of them were Pollerton's media outlets, who were present to hold interviews with the bosses in the business industry and were merely using the event to enhance the image.
Getting off the main stage, Jennifer furrowed her brows as she said to Donald, “How can you make a decision for me so casually? I'm not fit to be a CEO.”
Shrugging, Donald replied, “How do you know you aren't up to it when you have never been one? Besides, what's there to be afraid of with me by your side?”
“But I—”
“No buts,” Donald interrupted with a solemn expression. “The Dragon Fide Project isn't only my dream; it's my grandpa's too. We're getting remarried, and you're soon the daughter-in-law of the Campbell family. Don't tell me you want me to shoulder this huge responsibility myself?”
“Who's the daughter-in-law of the Campbell family? I haven't agreed to it.”
Despite saying so, she could not contain her embarrassment.
Just then, Linda and Leonard made their way over.
Catching a glimpse of the gown on Jennifer, Linda was briefly stumped before she asked, “Jenny, where did you get this gown? It looks pretty nice.”
“Donald bought it for me.”
“He did?”
Leaning in to take a closer look at the diamonds on Jennifer's gown, Linda furrowed her brows.
