The Son-In-Law Shot To Fame Chapter 86

Conner tapped his finger on the stone table and uttered, “The source of the news is unreliable, and it’s purely your own guess. What if you’re wrong? Land reclamation isn’t difficult. The hardest part is getting approval. Even if I head over to Jadeborough myself, I won’t be able to get it. Besides, you don’t even know when and how they will reclaim the land.”

Jennifer remained silent.

The next moment, Conner continued, “However, it’s a good thing to have the upper hand. It’s remarkable that you can think of this.”

“I want to take a gamble,” said Jennifer.

“Go for it. Even if it’s a loss, we’ll only lose a few hundred million. However, if you guess wrongly, your family will be done for.”

It was Conner’s way of warning her that if she failed, her family could never return to the main branch of the Wilson family, and they would have to fend for themselves.

Taking a deep breath, she replied, “I understand.”

Later, the old man waved his hand. “All right. Go ahead and rest.”

Immediately, Jennifer left.

As Conner looked at her retreating figure, his gaze darkened. “Colby, is this your granddaughter? She better not let me down.”

Jennifer’s biological grandfather, Colby Wilson, had warned Jennifer’s father to treat Donald well. He passed away three years ago, and Donald also attended the funeral.

“I heard it. She’s guessing that there’ll be land reclamation?” grumbled an old woman with a cane as soon as Jennifer left, staring at her back for a long time.

Tapping the ground with her cane, she exclaimed, “Nonsense!”

Shortly afterward, Conner lifted the teapot from the table. “You installed a listening device on the teapot. I’m still alive, but you’re already so impatient?”

Having said that, he yanked the listening device from the bottom of the teapot and crushed it.

His wife did not bother to explain and walked away with a sneer. “There are still three days until your birthday banquet. I’m looking forward to seeing what gifts she has prepared for you. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll send her back to Pollerton!”

“What a shallow woman.” The old man poured himself a cup of tea, unconcerned.

In the jungle several kilometers away, a mysterious figure disappeared. Shortly after, the entire conversation record was sent to Donald’s phone.

Curling the corner of his lips into a sneer, Donald muttered, “Conner’s wife, Sylvia Yeager, wants Jennifer to make a fool of herself?”

Immediately afterward, he called Charles and instructed, “Charlie, bring me a copy of the reclamation approval document and send it to the main Wilson family branch in the name of Horizon Group three days later, Kill everyone who dares to offend Jennifer, no matter who they are or what their background is! Jennifer is always mine! I’m not afraid of her family!”

Listening to the orders, Charles could feel himself burning with righteous indignation.

As expected of Lord Campbell. What a domineering and amazing man!

After that, Donald gave Lana a call. “Where are you?”

“What a surprise! Why did you call me?” The woman on the other end of the line chuckled, and her voice was mellow.

“Previously, you kept asking me to meet Lilith. I’m free now.”

“Okay, wait for my call.” Since it was serious business, she stopped making jokes.

On the surface, Lilith was a top international designer of high-end luxury goods. In particular, the necklace that she designed herself, Eternal Love, was priced at ten million internationally and was still in high demand. In fact, Eternal Love was not her proudest work. The item she was most satisfied with was A Midsummer Night’s Dream. There was only one piece in the world, with an auction price of thirty million.

The entire fashion industry went into a frenzy when she unveiled the gown at the West Epea Fashion Expo a month ago.

However, that was not why Donald wanted to meet her.

She had another identity – the chief engineer of the Four Symbols Project.
