“Why are you claiming to be my mother-in-law?” Donald questioned while glaring at Linda. “You better show some respect, or else you're going to regret it.”
“Hmph, I think I hear a threat,” said Linda with her hands on her waist. “Haven't you been planning to remarry my daughter? I will be your mother-in-law once you remarry her! Now, Kevin is hospitalized and needs one million for his medical fees. Haven't you established Dragon Fide Corporation, Donald? You can definitely afford one million. Hand it over.”
Before Donald could say a word, Jennifer, who had been standing beside him, rejected her, “I am no longer a part of your family, Linda. Please do not interfere with my family's life ever again.”
“What did you just say?” Linda exclaimed while gawking at Jennifer. “I went through the pain to raise you for more than twenty years! How dare you cut ties with me? What an ungrateful child I've raised!”
Jennifer was unfazed as she watched Linda hollering.
Although she did grow up among the Wilson family, both Linda and Leonard favored their son more. As Kevin's elder sister, Jennifer had always yielded to him. She had even given him all her salary, only for him to waste it all on luxuries.
Before meeting Donald, she never thought anything of it. After all, Kevin was the only son in the family.
It wasn't until after she met Donald that she realized women should also stand up for themselves and have their own opinion.
For the longest time, Jennifer spent her life dictated by Linda, but she no longer felt like remaining under the latter's control.
“Whatever. We're no longer associated with each other. Get out of my way.”
Jennifer stepped forward to shove Linda aside. It was a gentle shove, but Linda staggered backward in an exaggerated manner before slumping onto the floor.
“Jennifer Wilson! She's your biological mother! How dare you treat her like that?”
Despite being pliant while dealing with the debt collectors, Zander showed indignation while in Jennifer's presence.
He raised his hand and was about to slap Jennifer in the face. However, Donald reacted swiftly by kicking him in the stomach and toppling him over onto the floor. Zander struggled to get back up, his hands clutching his stomach.
