Chapter 23 A Task From Chiliad Avion

Immediately Kevin turned with eyes wide open and stared at Donald in disbelief. “Wow, a Bentley Continental GT costs more than six million. Did you win the lottery or something?”

Skylar touched the side of the car reverently, envy blazing in her eyes.

“Get in,” Donald repeated with a frown.

Kevin hurriedly opened the door to the passenger seat and slid in, his fingertips grazing every detail of the vehicle’s plush interior as he made awed noises.

“Keep your hands to yourself. The money you lost is nearly sufficient to purchase this car,” Donald ordered in a deadpanned voice.

 

That made Kevin stiffen at once. “I wasn’t the only one who lost the money…”

Donald didn’t respond.

 

“How did you get this car?” Skylar piped up.

“I borrowed it.”

Kevin pouted. “Who would be so rich to lend you a luxury car?”

“Lana Collins,” Donald replied.

Upon hearing that, Skylar’s eyes rounded with shock. “What’s your relationship with her? Why would she loan this car to you?”

“I’m her bodyguard.”

Skylar promptly lost interest after hearing that nugget of information and sagged in her seat. A look of distaste showed on her face as she snidely commented, “So you’re a bodyguard now?”

A sigh came from Kevin. “I don’t want to meddle, but isn’t there nothing left between you and Jennifer? Why don’t you let her go? If you love her, you should do free her from your marriage. She will only suffer being with you. Besides, Harrison likes her, and more importantly, he’s rich enough to provide her with a better life.”
