Chapter 529
“Go ahead. If you jumped, it''de to me as a relief. That way, Donald and I may be able to go on
and live our lives in peace.”
Jennifer regarded the three of them frostily and showed no inclination whatsoever to dissuade them,
leaving them at a loss for how to react to Jennifer''s unexpected hardheartedness that time around.
“Are we still going to jump, Mom?” Kevin asked, stupefied.
“Do it yourself if you want to! I haven''t gotten tired of living yet!”
Linda had only threatened to jump to her death to make Jennifer relent. Since Jennifer was
unmoved, there was no reason for her to really end her own life like that either.
“Fine, Jennifer. You can remarry Donald, but only on two conditions.”
“Are you actually going to allow them to be remarried, Mom? Have you lost your mind?”
There was no quantifying how much Kevin fretted inside as Jennifer was, in his esteem, his golden
ticket to the high life. If Jennifer were to marry someone as worthless as Donald, then there would
surely be nothing in it for me.
Linda shot Kevin a look in a way that took him aback and had him bowing his head in silence.
Although Jennifer was determined to be with Donald, she still hoped to be able to receive her
family''s blessing. On her part, she had no desire to sever all her familial ties even after she returned
to Donald''s side.

“Tell me then, Mom, What are these conditions?”
With her arms akimbo, Linda replied impassively, “The first. Donald is not to remain here tonight.”
Jennifer blushed as she knew well what Linda was worried about.
She stole a nce at Donald in concern that that might make him unhappy.
Donald merely stroked her nose and said, “It''s just one night. Wouldn''t make any difference to me.”
Their implicit expressions of intimacy through their bodynguage left Linda quietly infuriated.
“Secondly, you have to attend the Supreme G tomorrow and can only decide whether you want
to rekindle your marriage with Donald after the banquet concludes.”
Jennifer reacted with a frown. “Look, Mom. I''ve already told you that I don''t want to attend the
Supreme G and am even less interested in Braxton.”
Linda reacted with a frosty smirk. “So, does that mean you are unable to fulfill the second condition?
If you can''t do it then go ahead and reregister your marriage tomorrow, but prepare to sever ties
with the rest of us!”
It was not the first time Linda had resorted to using that threat against Jennifer.
Jennifer might be inclined to stand firmly on Donald''s side had Linda proposed anything more
unreasonable, but in careful consideration, she did not find Linda''s demands that much to ask.
The Supreme G was a once-a-year event attended by those in the upper echelons of Pollerton
society. Had there ever been any single sessful businessperson who did not derive pride from
being able to partake in the event?
Perhaps all they want is to be able to make an appearance there.
With that in mind, Jennifer peeked at Donald in the hope of soliciting his input.
Donald shrugged and said, “If these are the only two conditions, then I''ve no problems with them.
We can always remarry a dayter. I''m willing to wait, no matter how long it takes.”
Donald''s words filled Kevin''s heart with disgust.
“Very well, Mom. I ept your two conditions. However, I want you to promise me in return that
once I have fulfilled them, all of you will no longer try to prevent us from being together.”
“Sure. Since when have I not kept my word to you?”
Seeing that Jennifer had agreed, Linda proceeded to exit the room in thepany of Leonard and
Kevin. After a brief hug, Jennifer also saw Donald out of the door.
Once Donald was gone, Linda whispered to Kevin, “Keep watch here tonight in case Donald tries to
sneak back in after we leave. Your sister''s chastity is of the utmost importance, so we must not
allow that punk to screw things up for her.”
“What? Am I to stay here to keep watch?” Kevin sounded rather aggrieved. “How am I to do that
when there''s not even a ce to sit around here?”
