Chapter 25 Speaking Of Power
As soon as Kevin hung up his phone, he looked over at the couch across from him where Jennifer spoke to their mother, Linda Stern.
“Is Donald really working as a bodyguard?” asked Linda.
Jennifer nodded.
Instantly, Linda snarled through gritted teeth, “That loser! He even closed down his company because of his damned grandfather. This won’t do. The two of you must file a divorce at once!”
Jennifer retorted helplessly, “Mom, I’m already married to him. How can you ask me to divorce him so easily?”
“I must have been blind back then for letting you marry a loser like him. He doesn’t stand a chance when compared to Harrison! The latter has money, power, and social connections. Look at Donald! What does he have? I don’t know why you married him! Ugh, I’m so pissed!” complained Linda with her hands on her waist.
All Jennifer could manage was a sigh.
“Jennifer, I have something to tell you,” Kevin said suddenly. He had his back facing Jennifer while he poured a cup of water and dropped in a white sleeping pill that dissolved instantly. Then, he walked over and handed the water to her.
After sighing once more, Jennifer spoke to him. “Kev, promise me that you’ll work hard from here on. Stop gambling, okay?”
Kevin flashed a stern expression and responded, “I promise you, Jennifer. Now, have some water. I have something important to tell you.”
Jennifer was a little confused but still drank half of the water in the cup without noticing anything wrong.
She then asked, “What’s up?”
“Donald might be cheating on you,” said Kevin seriously.
Jennifer’s face darkened as soon as she heard that. “Impossible. I know him well enough to know that he would never do that.”
Then, Kevin pulled out his phone and showed her a picture of Donald standing beside Wynter a few days ago. The picture was a little blurry as it got taken from a distance with bad lighting. Wynter’s face seemed blurry, but Jennifer could recognize Donald’s face anywhere.
Right away, a lump formed in her throat as tears trickled down her cheeks. She held the cup in her hands and sunk into the couch. “How can he do this to me? I like him so much. How can this be?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
She felt so helpless at that moment. Soon, her head began to spin while her eyelids felt heavy.
“Mom, how could he do this to me?” she cried out between sobs.
Linda looked at Jennifer with a pained look and consoled, “It’s okay, Jennifer. Stop crying. He’s a cheater. Just go and get a divorce with him tomorrow.”
“Jennifer, Donald is not the man for you. Divorcing him would be wiser, and it’s best for everyone,” Kevin chimed in.
At that moment, Jennifer felt dizzy, and her whole body was weak. It was as though all her strength had drained.
“Jenny, what’s wrong. Don’t scare me!” Linda was shocked to see Jennifer in that state, so she quickly rushed to support the latter.
However, Kevin stepped in and held Linda back.
Linda looked over at him with confusion and saw him smiling eerily. He eventually admitted, “I did it. Harrison is on his way.”
Linda was stunned, but she understood what was going on immediately. She hesitated for a moment, but she stayed rooted to the spot in the end.
Meanwhile, Jennifer could barely keep her eyes open anymore. “Kev, w-what did you give me?”
She looked behind her with difficulty and saw the door was open. Then, Harrison entered in a white suit while he stared at Jennifer with a predatory gaze.
“Mom, Ms. Sawyer invited you for a game of poker. You should get Dad too,” said Kevin as he looked at his mother.
Linda knew immediately what was going on.
She hesitated again but clenched her teeth in the end and looked at Harrison. “Be nice and gentle with my daughter. Don’t hurt her.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Wilson. I will,” Harrison answered with a smile.
He was pleased with her reaction.
On the couch, Jennifer had a rough idea of their conversation. She started screaming as soon as she realized what was happening. “No! Mom, don’t go! No, H-Harrison! I beg you. Kev, don’t go!”
“We’ll be back at five, so the two of you can have some privacy,” said Kevin.
Harrison raised his hand and looked at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. There were three hours until five. That’ll be plenty of time for me to enjoy her.
“Mom, let’s go.” Kevin tugged on Linda’s sleeve.
Linda was still hesitating and could not help but look at Harrison. However, when she met his profound gaze, she clenched her teeth and left.
“Mom, please!” Jennifer began to cry again as she started the feel the darkness engulfing her.
Harrison approached her and said gently, “Go to sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up.”
Bam!
The door had closed.
Jennifer was hopeless when she heard that sound. Before she passed out, tears flowed down her cheeks as she mumbled, “Donald, I’m sorry.”
She and Harrison were the only two left in the house.
Harrison perversely ogled her curvy figure and slender legs that got emphasized by her denim jeans. His breathing slowly picked up.
“Jennifer, you have no idea how much effort I put in to have you to myself.” He spoke with a greasy smile while slowly taking off his shirt.
The unconscious Jennifer was still shaking her head as tears kept flowing. She looked utterly pitiful at that moment. Still, she was undoubtedly an attractive woman with her fair skin and curvy figure.
After all, Donald was a man with exquisite taste. It was no wonder that he only associated himself with exceedingly gorgeous women.
“Your husband hasn’t even touched you yet. That means I’ll be the first to lay claim on your virginity.” Harrison had taken off his jacket as he eyed Jennifer lustily. He then reached out to take off her blouse.
All of a sudden, there was a loud bang, and the metal door flung open. There was even a one-inch-deep imprint of a fist on the door.
A tall figure soon walked in on the two.
It was Donald.
He entered with a murderous aura and glared daggers at Harrison, hinting that the latter was a dead man.
Donald’s eyes were devoid of any emotion, and it even seemed as though there was a flicker of bloodlust in his orbs. Harrison must die!
“You’ve got some nerve, Harrison!” Donald walked over one step at a time. It was as though the devil inside of him had been awakened. Harrison felt as though the entire house was trembling from fear.
No one in the world could imagine how furious Donald was at that moment.
After all, Jennifer was his only weakness, and Harrison had dared to lay hands upon her.
Harrison felt a shiver down his spine as he looked at Donald. That was the first time he had ever seen Donald behave so terrifyingly. He staggered backward but quickly calmed himself and shouted, “Donald,
are you trying to start a fight? Don’t forget that I’m the heir to Pollerton Pharma. My dad is Garrett Queen, and my grandpa is Louis Queen. You have no idea how powerful my family and I are!”
“How dare you speak of power in front of me.” Donald walked over to the couch and looked at Jennifer with a pained expression. He then took a nearby blanket and put it on her.
“Would you believe me if I said I can end your existence with one call?” Harrison threatened.
Why should I be scared? I’m the heir to Pollerton Pharma! I’m a big deal, while Donald’s merely a vagrant.
With that thought in mind, he regained his composure and said in a relaxed manner, “Donald, there’s no way you can go against me head-to-head.”
