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

Chapter 30

A news presenter reported: “For the first time in Pollerton's history, Pollerton Pharma has encountered a disruption to its capital flow. After retiring for fifteen years, Louis Queen has also received a jail sentence. Harrison Queen's body has been found. Police suspect that he took his own life to escape punishment.”

As the news reports flooded in, Linda and Kevin were dumbstruck.

Harrison's dead? Pollerton Pharma is gone?

Jennifer froze, an unfathomable expression on her face. In all fairness, Harrison had always treated her well. Although his methods had been a little too extreme, she could not deny that he genuinely liked her.

After staring blankly into space for a long time, Linda burst into tears. “It's over! We're left with nothing now!”

As for Kevin, he was shaking like a leaf.

Harrison is dead. I've lost my investor. My ten million... My Ferrari... I've lost everything! This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Kevin felt as though his whole world had come crashing down around him, and he lunged toward Donald. “It's all your fault! You did this! If you hadn't interfered, I would've already gotten that ten million from Harrison!”

When Donald rose to his feet abruptly, Jennifer called out, “Donald! He's my brother, so don't even think about it. And you, Kevin. You'd better stop that too!”

However, Kevin ignored her completely and charged at Donald.

With a swift kick, Donald sent Kevin flying backward onto the couch.

His forehead happened to catch on a sharp edge, leaving a deep gash. Crimson blood began to flow from the wound at once. Kevin wiped one hand over his bloodied face and shot Donald a malicious glare. “Look at what he's done, Jennifer! He kicked me! He dared to strike me!”

Seeing that, Linda went berserk and rushed toward Donald. “Donald Campbell, have you gone mad?”

A look of impatience appeared on Donald's

face.

Jennifer quickly grabbed his arm. “Don't hit them... That's my mother and brother...”

But at that moment, Linda leaped forward to grab Donald's right arm and sank her teeth into his arm.

Donald furrowed his brows and jerked his arm. A burst of energy flowed through his arm, causing Linda to stagger backward and collapse onto the floor.

Sprawled on the floor with her hair disheveled, she began flailing her legs and howling like a madwoman. “I don't want to live anymore! Jennifer, if you don't divorce this man, I'm better off dead! Just look at what he did to me! He attacked me!”

“Donald! Didn't I just tell you not to do that?” Jennifer yelled, enraged.

“Should I have allowed her to hit me without retaliating?” Donald replied, a little disappointed at Jennifer's response.

Meeting her gaze, he asked, “Would any mother ever treat her daughter as a commodity? Even I was shocked at such extreme measures.

His tone gradually became indifferent as he continued, “Even though Kevin is your brother, he drugged you and nearly ruined your reputation. Why would a brother do something like that?”

“Even so, you didn't have to be so ruthless. No matter what, they're still my family!” Jennifer retorted.

Meanwhile, Kevin had struggled to his feet. Charging straight at Donald again, he shouted, “I'm going to kill you!”

Donald spun around, grabbed him by his neck, and lifted him off his feet. “If you want to die, I'll grant you your wish.”

At that moment, Donald's steely determination to kill was palpable, and he radiated an intimidating and contemptuous attitude.

Jennifer had never seen Donald like that before, and he suddenly felt like a stranger to her.

Kevin quickly found it hard to breathe, and his face turned bright red. He clawed at Donald's hand to try and pry the latter's fingers from around his neck. However,

Donald's grip was so powerful that it felt as though his hand was forged of steel.

Hence, Kevin could only gasp for breath and kick his legs feebly.

Jennifer threw herself at Donald, wrapping her arms around his waist. “Are you crazy? Do you want to kill him? Stop it!”

Donald took no notice of her plea and continued to fix Kevin with an icy glare. There was no hint of mercy in his eyes.

When Jennifer saw Kevin's breathing weakening and his eyes rolling back into his head, she cried out tearfully, “Donald, I want a divorce!”

Donald loosened his grip at those words, and Kevin slumped to the floor.

“You want a divorce? Just because of this useless piece of trash who nearly destroyed your life, you want to divorce me?” Donald spoke softly with his back toward Jennifer, the expression on his face hidden from view.

“These people are willing to forsake their reputation and morals for money. What's the reason behind your decision to divorce me?” Donald's voice grew even softer that it seemed as if he was muttering to himself.

In truth, Jennifer was overwhelmed with regret as soon as those words fell from her lips.

Just then, Kevin began gasping for air and coughing uncontrollably.

Jennifer had wanted to comfort Donald. But when she saw Kevin in that state, she hurried over to her brother instead. “Kev, are you okay?”

“I nearly died! He tried to kill me, Jennifer! Did you see that?” Kevin coughed and sputtered as he spoke. Blood continued dripping down his already bloodied face from the gash on his forehead, making him a pitiful sight.

With his back still toward Jennifer, Donald raised his head and said, “Fine. Let's get a divorce.”

“That's right. You should get a divorce right now!” Linda shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Jennifer could not stop her tears from falling as she stared at Donald's back with a pained expression.

Linda grabbed a knife and pressed it against her neck. "Jennifer, if you don't get a divorce today, I'll end my life right before your very eyes! So, what will it be? Will you get a divorce or not?”

Tears continued to stream down Jennifer's cheeks, and her lips trembled. “All right. Let's get a divorce.”
