Chapter 388
Noticing how Jennifer had put on makeup, Linda and Kevin reckoned the former had thought things
through and agreed to dine with Peterson.
Lowering her head, Jennifer furrowed her brows while staring at the man''s right hand, which was
stretched out. However, she did not reach for it. “Hi. I''m sorry, but I don''t have the habit of shaking
hands with others.”
Peterson froze for a few seconds, but he was not mad about it. He simply offered a faint smile and
retracted his right hand. “Happy birthday. I''ve reserved thirty tables at Grand Laurel today and put
much effort into arranging this. I hope you will ept this invitation.”
After pausing briefly, he went on, “Initially, I n on organizing it at Sky Garden, but it requires a
one-month pre-booking, so it''s toote. Moreover, it seems like Sky Garden is having a renovation
today, so I''ve selected Grand Laurel.”
Before Jennifer could utter a word, someone knocked on the door.
Jennifer''s heart skipped a beat. Is it Donald?
Hurriedly, she went to open the door and found herself greeted by the sight of a middle-aged couple
at the door, sizing her up.
Jennifer was stunned. “Who are you?”
Peterson chuckled. “They''re my parents, and they''re currently operating a tea house at Terrandya
Provincial Center.”

Exuding an imposing aura, the middle-aged couple entered while scanning the surroundings.
Leonard and Linda immediately stood up. “Wee.”
With a deep voice, Brandon carried himself in the same way a person of high stature would.
Even Joshua dared not provoke someone like him, as only a person with a strong background such
as Neil would not need a broker like Brandon.
Brandon had secretly umted an astounding connection ofworks and owned an immense
influence across the entire Terrandya. Furthermore, Brandon could easily dismiss some influential
figures by lifting a finger.
That was how powerful brokers were.
“Let''s go. We''ll talk about it while we have our meal.” Brandon''s tone left no room for doubt.
Linda and Leonard immediately nodded. “Sure, off we go to Grand Laurel!”
However, Jennifer answered, “No. I have a date with Donald today.”
As soon as Linda heard her daughter''s response, the smile on her face immediately disappeared as
it was instantly reced with one of rage.
ring at Jennifer with palpable disdain as if she was about to skin her alive, Linda bellowed,
“Donald.
Donald again! He''s about to die. Why are you wasting your time on him!”
Kevin chimed in, “That''s enough, Jennifer! Has Donald not done enough harm to you and me? Tell
me, what can he offer you?”
Leonard growled, “I''m sure I''ve told you to cut off all connections with
Donald. Why won''t you listen?”
Peterson exchanged nces with his father, Brandon. “Donald?”
Jennifer replied, “That''s right. He''s my husband.”
Brandon instantly looked grim.
“Forget about it then.”
Linda quickly walked toward them. “Mr. Walker, calm down. Please hear me out first. Donald and
Jennifer are long divorced, and nothing happened between them. Until now, Jennifer is still an
innocentdy!”
Leonard chimed in, “Yes, exactly. Besides, Donald is diagnosed with several types of cancer, so
he’ll be dead soon. I''m afraid he''ll not even be able to make it past New Year!”
There was no way they would allow this marriage of convenience to be called off.
Although Jennifer would be reaching her thirties soon, Tyrone no longer mentioned anything
concerning Jennifer.
Possessing such connection and wealth, Peterson was on apletely different levelpared to
Nigel and James.
After Linda and her family offered an exnation, Peterson''s and Brandon’s expressions slightly
softened.
However, Jennifer could not be bothered. Heading toward the door, she nced at the time and
realized it was eight sharp.
Kevin yanked at her arms and dragged her back. “Where are you going? Get back here right now!
Listen carefully. You have to go no matter what!”
While they were fighting, Donald suddenly appeared at the door and shot Kevin a cold re. “Let go
of her right now.”
