The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer)

Chapter 24

“Arrange for me to meet with the messenger,” said Donald.

“All right. He'll be waiting for you at Highplane Curve,” replied Bradley.

Donald ended the call after confirming the meeting. He then started his car, revved up the engine, and disappeared.

A little over ten minutes later, he arrived at Highplane Curve. It was a famous curved road among racers for its ninety degrees turn. At that moment, there were two modified luxury cars racing each other.

One was a Lamborghini, while the other was an Audi RS7. Both slowed down when they were approaching the ninety degrees turn, as one might fall off the cliff if they were not careful at the turn.

However, Donald boldly drifted at the ninety degrees turn without slowing down.

“Damn!” The drivers from the other two cars exclaimed in shock, impressed by the mad skills Donald had.

They even felt that he could surpass Zaden Dunn, the king of car racing.

By the time the two drivers completed the turn, Donald's Bentley Continental was long gone.

Donald got out of the car when he arrived at the top of a mountain. A car was already waiting a distance away. In front of it was a young man in a military uniform. The man excitedly bowed upon seeing Donald.

It turned out that the man was Hannah's older brother, Ryan Nixon.

He was the youngest major-general in all of Pollerton and an outstanding figure among the younger generations of the Nixon family.

“Lord Campbell,” Ryan respectfully and enthusiastically greeted. This man is the legendary Lord Campbell! He fought in the Holy War, where he singlehandedly turned the tables and became victorious!

“Please rise,” said Donald.

Ryan did as told before announcing with a cautious tone, “Chiliad Avion contacted me

to deploy your mission.”

Donald nodded. Ever since he activated Polaris System, he knew his peaceful life was over and had already prepared himself for the worst.

Ryan brought over a stack of documents and said, “The Parasite has returned to Pollerton. To think that he had tied like a coward back then, but it turned out he had left some of his men here in Pollerton. As soon as he's back, these men will rise again. Lilith Snowden, also known as Professor Snowden, will be in Lab No. 1 at this crucial time to work on the final stage of her experiment. Thus, Chiliad Avion would like us to protect Lilith so that she can complete the experiment and eradicate the Parasite and all of his men that are hiding in the dark.”

“Okay. I'm guessing Mark is one of the Parasite's men?” Donald asked as he took the documents from Ryan.

Ryan was a little taken aback but quickly answered, “Yes. However, Mark has since pledged his allegiance to the Collins family.”

“We'll start with him then,” said Donald as he flipped through the documents.

From the pages, Donald learned that Lilith was in her thirties and was about to enter Pollerton soon to carry out a military scientific research project as the chief engineer. Besides that, Donald also discovered that the Parasite fled fifteen years ago after suffering from a huge blow. He had since been hiding outside of the borders. Now that he was back in Pollerton, trouble was bound to happen.

If the Parasite had remained in Pollerton all this while, Charles and Lana would not have become who they were today. Instead, Parasite himself would have been the uncrowned king of Pollerton.

“The mission is simple. Protect Ms. Snowden and get rid of Parasite, is that right?” asked Donald.

Ryan bitterly smiled as he replied, “Yes. The Parasite's identity is rather sensitive. It's a little difficult for us to step in.”

Donald nodded. “I get it. Tell Chiliad Avion to leave it to me.”

Subsequently, Ryan saluted and answered, “Yes, Lord Campbell.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

With all of that sorted, Donald departed in his expensive car. Relief washed over Ryan as he watched the former drive away. Lord Campbell might look friendly, but he emits an overwhelming and pressuring aura to people around him. Even though he's younger than me, there's a weariness in his gaze that shows he has experienced many things. When Ryan first stood in front of Donald earlier, he initially felt honored to get graced by the latter's presence. However, that feeling soon turned to pressure as he wanted to do well before the latter.

Meanwhile, Donald had arrived back at the building where Lana was to return her car.

“Can you accompany me to see someone?” Lana asked with a smile when she saw him.

Donald looked at the time and thought of the dinner date he had arranged with Hannah in the morning. He estimated that there were another four to five hours to go since it was only one o’clock

at the time.

“Sure. But I need to leave at five,” replied Donald.

“Okay,” said Lana.

“Ms. Collins, do you need me to join you?” asked Mark.

He was looking down, yet a flicker of bloodlust flashed in his eyes as he side-eyed Donald.

Lana shook her head. “I'll be fine with Donald.”

“You're a high-profile figure. Plus, things in Pollerton have been in a state of disorder lately, so it's best for me to accompany you,” Mark insisted.

Lana's gaze turned cold instantly at his words. “Get lost now!”

Finally, Mark backed down and left. The whole time, Donald was watching with amusement. He could not help but think that there must be a reason why both Mark and Blade Alliance, which once worked for the Parasite, suddenly pledged their allegiance to the Collins family.

“The person we're meeting today is a world-renowned luxury designer. The necklace named Eternal Love is one of her creations,” said Lana.

Donald had heard about Eternal Love before.

Not only was Eternal Love from a top luxury designer brand, but it was currently selling at a staggering ten million as there were only two of its kind in the whole world. One was in South Epea, while the other in the hands of the designer herself.

“Her name is Lilith Snowden,” Lana added.

Donald's eyes narrowed at the mention of that name.

It struck him that Lilith was the same person he had gotten assigned to protect. Lilith had two identities; She was more commonly known as a world-renowned luxury designer. However, her true identity was the chief engineer of Rising Dragon Project.

Meanwhile, Harrison was flipping through his phone when he noticed Jennifer had sent him a thank you text.

Although clueless as to why she had sent that, he did not bother about it. Instead, he planned to strike while the iron was hot and tackle Jennifer that day. He was going to get her into bed with him. He felt that things would be easier once he went all the way. After all, what was done could not be undone.

He pondered with that thought for a moment before he finally called Kevin.

“Hey, Harrison,” Kevin answered the call excitedly.

Harrison was shocked to hear the former's voice. Did he make it out alive? Who got him out of Blade Alliance's captivity?

“You made it out?” asked Harrison.

“Yeah. All thanks to you. There's no saying what I'd have suffered if it wasn't for that one million you provided and the firm reminder to that nasty Jerald,” explained Kevin.

Again, Harrison was stunned.

He was confused as he had not given Kevin and Skylar a million, much less remind Jerald anything.

After all, Jerald was a nasty guy. Even if Harrison's father, Garrett, had stepped in, there was still no guarantee that Jerald would give in.

“What did Jerald say?” asked Harrison with a frown.

“He said he would have let me go if I had just told him that I was Mr. Queen's acquaintance. I've got to say. You're quite incredible, Harrison,” Kevin recounted and laughed.

On the other hand, Harrison's brows furrowed deeper. At that moment, he could sense that something was amiss, yet he could not pinpoint what exactly. He quickly dismissed those thoughts and asked, “When are you returning the money you owe me?”

Kevin paused for a moment on the other end of the call. Then, he stuttered, “W-Well, you see...”

“It's alright if you don't pay. However, you haven't exactly shown any gratitude, despite me buying you all those luxury goods,” Harrison stated as he narrowed his eyes.

Kevin was not as naive as Jennifer. Hence, he immediately understood what Harrison was implying and replied, “Give me a time, and I'll get it done, Harrison.”

“In an hour.” Harrison was thrilled.

“No problem. Come to my house in 10 minutes. I've already prepared the sleeping pills, so it'll undoubtedly be the best time of your life.”
