Chapter 149 Paying The Debt
Still, many fell into deep contemplation, knowing what Donald had done.
At the same time, Jennifer had just arrived in the hospital. Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Kevin.
Because of what Donald did to him, he lost all his teeth and had to get porcelain veneers.
The first thing Kevin asked when he saw Jennifer was whether the items were auctioned off.
Leonard and Linda were accompanying him the whole time while he was there, feeling sad about his suffering.
“That goddamn Donald. Jennifer, I’ll die in front of you if I see you ever getting involved with him again,” said Linda through gritted teeth.
Jennifer forced a smile at the sound of that. “They had been auctioned off for three hundred million.”
Kevin was stunned and blurted, “Oh my god! Who is that rich to spend three hundred million on those things?”
“It’s Donald,” said Jennifer.
All three of them were stunned by her reply. “That can’t be. Where did Donald get that money?”
“He’s an outcast from the Campbell clan. He used to be rich, but his grandfather offended someone important in the Campbell clan and suffered a huge setback. That card belongs to the Campbell clan, and Donald used it today.”
The three froze for a moment when they heard her reply.
Finally, Linda held Jennifer’s hands in hers and broke the silence. “Jennifer, listen to me. You should really stay away from him, okay? Since he’s an outcast, he shouldn’t have used that money. The Campbell clan will come after him when they find out. You can’t drag us into it.”
Leonard also chimed in, “That’s right. The Campbell clan is one of the most prestigious families in the country. Donald would surely suffer for offending them. They might not come after him right away, but they would surely get rid of him as soon as they have the time.”
Kevin scoffed on the side. “And here I thought where he got that arrogance of his. Turns out he’s just an outcast from the Campbell clan.”
Jennifer sighed at their response. “He’s actually under a lot of pressure.”
“Why do you feel pity for him. From a rich and powerful family to an outcast. It’s humiliating,” Linda said disgruntledly.
While they were talking, the door opened suddenly. Then, Anastasia and Sixten walked into the room.
Sixten handed a check to Kevin and said, “Mr. Wilson, as we agreed, you will receive twenty-five million no matter how much Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream are sold for in the auction. I’ve already paid you ten million in deposit. This is the check for the rest of the amount.”
Kevin took the check and argued, “But, they were auctioned off at three hundred million.”
Sixten scoffed at him. “I’m sorry, but that’s our deal.”
Kevin refused to accept that and insisted, “Mr. Campbell, you can’t do that.”
“It’s your choice. This is a fifteen million check. I don’t care if you take it or not. That’s all I have to say,” said Sixten.
In the end, Kevin had no choice but to take the check with a grim expression.
At that moment, Anastasia looked at Kevin and said, “I’m here to collect the debt today. You should pay up the thirty million you owe my brother.”
Blood drained from Kevin’s face as he only had fifteen million in his hands which was fifteen million short of the debt he owed.
“Can you give me a little more time?”
Anastasia smiled and shook her head. “I’m sorry, but no. Today is the last day.”
Out of options, Kevin turned to Jennifer and said, “Jennifer, think of something.”
Linda also held onto her hand and said, “Jenny, you can’t just leave Kevin on his own. He’s your only brother.”
“That’s right, Jenny. Think of something,” Leonard said grimly.
Pressured, Jennifer got up and asked, “Ms. Rodriguez, when is the latest to pay?”
“Before midnight,” Anastasia answered with a smile.
Jennifer closed her eyes bitterly at the sound of that. “I’m sorry. I really can’t do that.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Linda got down on her knees beside her. “Jennifer, I don’t care how, but you must think of something. Otherwise, I’ll jump off here, on the twelfth floor.”
