Chapter 245


    When Linda heard the noise, she dashed out of the kitchen too. “You''re home, Jenny. Sit down and


    talk to Skye''s parents.”


    Skr''s hair was dyed all shades of the rainbow, and she was giving Kevin a shoulder massage.


    Upon catching sight of Jennifer, she rolled her eyes.


    Her parents, on the other hand, said, “We saw what happened yesterday on the news. You must


    have been shocked, huh? It''s a good thing that the culprit''s already dead.”


    Jennifer remained expressionless. Shepletely ignored them and went back to her room.


    She was just about to close the door when Kevinined, “What kind of attitude is that,


    Jennifer? My girlfriend''s parents are here to discuss our engagement. What are you looking all


    upset for?”


    Before Jennifer even had the chance to respond, Skr''s parents hurriedly tried to diffuse the


    situation. “There''s no need for that, Kev. I''m sure your sister is tired after work.”


    Kevin merely sneered in response.


    “Look, guys! It''s Tyrone, the Ninth Prince of the Campbell n!” Skr eximed passionately with


    a hint of envy in her voice. They were watching the rey of the broadcast from the night before,


    which showed Tyronending at Pollerton International Airport.


    Most of the business representatives in Pollerton had gone to wee him. They were all bigshots


    in the city. Naturally, only the descendants of prominent families with a legacy of over five hundred


    years would be invited to an extravagant event like that.


    “Prominent families with over five hundred years of legacy, huh? I wonder how much their worth


    is?” Caspian Hoffman, Skr''s father, wondered aloud with a hint of admiration in his tone.


    “There are some with trillions in worth. Look at them. They''re all sucking up to him and trying


    their best to please him,” stated Kevin, sounding rather scornful.


    Caspian voiced, “Well, of course, they would be doing that. As long as you sessfully make


    connections with rich families, you won''t have to worry about a thing for the rest of your life. You''ll


    have everything right at your fingertips!”


    They stared at the television intently. All of them had looks of envy and excitement in their eyes.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Jennifer nced at them and realized that the person she had bumped into at the Supreme Vi


    was none other than Tyrone himself.


    However, she didn''t bother much about it and simply closed her door, calming herself down.


    All of a sudden, she felt empty inside. Theughter and cheers outside had nothing to do with her,


    and she felt like an outsider in her own home.


    At that moment, she started to miss


    Donald a bit.


    What exactly do I feel for Donald? I mean, there''s love, for sure, but there''s resentment as well.


    She hated how Donald liked to make the first move, and she hated how violent he was. Not only


    had he beaten her, but he had also hit her mother and even broken Kevin''s legs. Most of all, she


    hated how Donald had ambiguous rtionships with so many women.


    “We''re nning to let Kevin and Skr get engaged around Christmas next year. What do you guys


    think?” Caspian prompted.


    Leonard nodded in agreement.


    “The betrothal gifts will be one million eight hundred eighty thousand in cash, a mansion in Pollerton


    Estates, and a Ferrari 458. Is that eptable?” Skr spoke up abruptly.


    Jennifer could hear how Leonard remained silent for a long time after hearing that before saying, “I


    thought we had already agreed on amercial house. A mansion in Pollerton Estates alone would


    cost hundreds of millions.”


    Caspian countered, “Back then, your family didn''t have much to its name. Now, though, Jennifer’s


    established Jennard Construction and gotten her hands on a project worth two billion. She''ll be able


    to profit by the time Christmases around next year, which means she can earn a few hundred


    million in no time. Kevin''s her only brother. Of course, she has to contribute!”


    “I''ll have to get Jennifer to agree to that,” Leonard informed.


    Skr was visibly unhappy. “You can make the decision on your own. In any case, I''m not going to


    marry him unless you can fulfill those conditions.”


    Out of nowhere, Kevin piped up, “Okay, we ept. I''ll go and convince Jennifer!”


    After listening to the whole conversation, Jennifer only had one thought in her mind. They’re just a


    group of blood-sucking vampires!


    All of a sudden, Caspian said, “There''s one more thing. I''m not working at the moment, but I do


    have a couple of old friends. Could you try and get Jennifer to outsource a few projects to them?


    They don''t have to be huge projects. As long as they''re worth around twenty or thirty million, it''ll


    work.”
