Chapter 25 Speaking Of Power

 

As soon as Kevin hung up his phone, he looked over at the couch across from him where Jennifer spoke to their mother, Linda Stern.

 

“Is Donald really working as a bodyguard?” asked Linda.

Jennifer nodded.

Instantly, Linda snarled through gritted teeth, “That loser! He even closed down his company because of his damned grandfather. This won’t do. The two of you must file a divorce at once!”

 

Jennifer retorted helplessly, “Mom, I’m already married to him. How can you ask me to divorce him so easily?”

 

“I must have been blind back then for letting you marry a loser like him. He doesn’t stand a chance when compared to Harrison! The latter has money, power, and social connections. Look at Donald! What does he have? I don’t know why you married him! Ugh, I’m so pissed!” complained Linda with her hands on her waist.

All Jennifer could manage was a sigh.

 

“Jennifer, I have something to tell you,” Kevin said suddenly. He had his back facing Jennifer while he poured a cup of water and dropped in a white sleeping pill that dissolved instantly. Then, he walked over and handed the water to her.

After sighing once more, Jennifer spoke to him. “Kev, promise me that you’ll work hard from here on. Stop gambling, okay?”

Kevin flashed a stern expression and responded, “I promise you, Jennifer. Now, have some water. I have something important to tell you.”

Jennifer was a little confused but still drank half of the water in the cup without noticing anything wrong.

She then asked, “What’s up?”

“Donald might be cheating on you,” said Kevin seriously.

Jennifer’s face darkened as soon as she heard that. “Impossible. I know him well enough to know that he would never do that.”

Then, Kevin pulled out his phone and showed her a picture of Donald standing beside Wynter a few days ago. The picture was a little blurry as it got taken from a distance with bad lighting. Wynter’s face seemed blurry, but Jennifer could recognize Donald’s face anywhere.
