    Chapter 528 The Stand


    The thought of what may follow got Jennifer’s cheeks in a hot flush. Should I give in if Donald were to


    make a move on me? While still mired in indecision, Jennifer produced the keys to unlock the door.


    “Huh? Why are the lights on?” The two of them entered the house only to discover Leonard and Linda


    inside the living room. Kevin, Jennifer’s younger brother, was there as well. “Dad, Mom. How did you


    get in here?” Jennifer was stunned. Though she had not changed the locks to their marital home since


    Donald moved out, she was the only one who held the keys. Linda’s expression instantly stiffened


    when she saw Donald standing behind Jennifer. “How did we get in? I have the spare set of keys to this


    house!” said Linda as she stood up from the couch. “Were you going to allow Donald to stay for the


    night if we hadn’t shown up?” “This is between me and him.

    It has nothing to do with you,” replied Jennifer in a sullen voice. That got Linda incensed. “I am your


    mother, so you tell me whether that ought to be any concern of mine! Shouldn’t it be obvious to you by


    now what sort of man Donald Campbell is? If it isn’t enough that he’s always stirring up trouble


    everywhere he goes, he’s also constantly messing around with other women out there. Lord knows


    how many of them he’s gotten himself mixed up with, and most importantly, he even tried to…” “Mom,


    that’s enough!” Jennifer snapped with displeasure written all over her face. “I’ve already told you that


    Donald only did it to save you that time. He wasn’t trying to do anything else to you. What’s more, he


    isn’t interested in you at all.” “How dare you speak to your own mother that way!” Leonard approached


    with a hand raised, poising to strike at Jennifer. He had not anticipated that Jennifer would not only


    decline to evade but also voluntarily present her own face to him.


    “Do it. Hit me, and I’ll cut ties with you.” “You! You’ll be the death of me!” The way Jennifer responded


    made Leonard wary of following through. She’s my daughter, after all, and how would hitting her ever


    help to resolve anything? More crucially, how would she be able to present herself to Mr. Irving if I were


    to end up making her face swollen? Linda retrieved a ticket to the Supreme G from her own purse,


    which she then tossed onto the table. She addressed Jennifer sternly, “This came from Mr. Irving. He


    hopes that we’ll be able to attend the Supreme G that will be hosted in downtown Pollerton. Doll


    yourself up so you don’t embarrass us, and see to it that you snag Braxton Irving for us!”


    “I won’t be there,” Jennifer replied ndly. “Donald and I are going to reregister our marriage tomorrow.


    I’ve nothing to do with Braxton Irving and don’t expect to have any further contact with him again in the


    future either.” “Remarriage?” Kevin could no longer restrain himself. Having staked my own financial


    futurepletely on Braxton, would I not be doomed to remain a nobody for the rest of my life if


    Jennifer would not make him my brother-inw? “No way. I won’t have it!” Kevin started to kick up a


    fuss. “You can marry anyone except that worthless piece of cr*p Donald!” Jennifer red at Kevin.


    “Whoever asked for your permission? I’m the one who is getting married, not you. You’ve no say in


    this.” “There she goes again, Mom, just look at her!” Already ustomed to dealing with such


    scenarios, Linda straightaway pushed open the window to Jennifer’s marital apartment to drape one of


    her own legs over the other side. “Are you trying to drive me to my death, Jennifer? Choosing to marry


    Donald Campbell over Mr. Irving? Swear to me that you will sever all ties to this useless man, or I’ll


    jump down from here in front of you!” “Me too. If you don’t swear to it, then I’ll jump down too!”


    “Me three!” The trio stood by the windows and forced Jennifer toe to a decision. Only this time,


    Jennifer did not waver. This was because the one thing she regretted the most after her kidnapping


    ordeal with Oscar was not letting Donald be her first. That was when she realized that Donald was the


    one she truly loved and the only man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
