The Son-In-Law Shot To Fame Chapter 203
Son-In-Law Madness
Her tone when she called him was affectionate as ever.
With a frosty look on her face, Beatrice walked over and grabbed Ysabelâs right arm. âCome back here!â
When Jennifer walked over, Ysabel immediately let go of her arms in fear. Then, she looked at Jennifer panickily, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
âJennifer, if you donât want him anymore, canât you give him to me?â she said softly.
Jennifer froze for a second before feeling amused and baffled by her words.
Meanwhile, Donald was speechless, too.
As Jennifer looked at Donald, she asked, âArenât you going to give me an explanation about what happened today?â
After giving it some thought, Donald answered, âThereâs nothing to say anyway. You donât need to know the details.â
Jennifer nodded. âThey all came for the sake of Old Mr. Campbell, right? He is a fortune teller, and so far, his fortune-telling is accurate. The people that came tonight were all from the underground. They must have had their fortunes and geomancy read by Old Mr. Campbell, and they wholeheartedly trust the readings they got from Old Mr. Campbell. Am I right?â
Donaldâs expression remained impassive as he answered, âYou can say that.â
Jenniferâs eyes widened as realization dawned on her. âI knew it. However, I have advice for you.
Donald, you have to live your life conscientiously. Both Zayne and Jasonâs hands are dirty. Moreover, theyâre ruthless and cruel people. What if Old Mr. Campbellâs readings become inaccurate one day? Iâm afraid the first thing theyâll do is go after you.â
Donald stayed silent. He did not know how to react to her words.
Linda sneered. âI thought you have something up your sleeve, but it turns out itâs just some old charlatan doing fortune-telling, and the funny thing is, they all believed it!â
Kevin mocked him too. âYouâre such a loser. Stay away from us, Donald. Youâre the abandoned one of the Campbell clan, and your story is also made into a book! If the Campbell clan had some free time on their hands, the first one theyâll go for will be you!â
Leonard nodded his head as he agreed with what Kevin said. âThatâs right! Youâre already divorced from Jennifer. Sheâs currently the CEO of Jennard Construction, and her company won a project bid of two billion. Sheâs in the prime of her life. Please donât sabotage her. I donât want what happened to Raymond ten years ago to happen to her!â
Christian snorted. âInitially, I thought you were something, but in the end, youâre just a loser! Youâre a good-for-nothing who relies on fortune-telling to con people.â
Donald chuckled dryly.
This was human nature. It was interesting if one thought about it.
Then, he looked at Jennifer and awaited her response.
Will she defend me?
No. She wonât.
Jennifer still stared at him in disappointment.
At that moment, he became listless, turned, and walked outside.
His retreating back looked exceptionally lonely and sorrowful.
Sometimes, when the path in front was dark and stormy winds hindered oneâs way, one would still need to walk alone. Hence, this was what Donald should do.
âDonald! Wait for me! Please wait!â Ysabel broke free from Beatriceâs grip and ran after Donald âYou little brat! If you go there, donât you ever come back again!â Beatrice screamed shrilly at the back.
âMom, Iâll explain it to you later!â Ysabel turned around and waved at her mother.
Her smile was dazzling and emanated a youthful aura.
On the other side, Christian was seen talking to Jennifer. âJennifer, letâs continue where weâve left off.
Do you want to discuss the equity financing proposal?â
Jennifer shook her head and said, âForget it. I suddenly donât feel like doing it anymore. Iâll think of something on my own.â
When Donald had just exited Rivebale Hotel, Ysabel caught up with him. âPlease wait for me, Donald!
Wait!â
âWhy are you chasing after me?â Donald turned around to look at her.
Ysabel clung on Donald. âI want to be with you!â
Sighing, Donald replied, âPlease stop messing around. Your mom told you to stay away from me.â
âHmph! Sheâs just obstinate!â Ysabel snorted before continuing, âI still think youâre the coolest and most handsome guy in the world!â
