Chapter 415 The Nutrition Pod
The second mineral vein was rumored to have emerged east of Yorksland. No one was capable enough of starting the next battle for the rights of the vein, so if they were to lose Quadfield, the entire world would have to change their strategic plans!
“Place him inside the nutrition pod!” Lilith barked.
Donald was moved into a nutrition pod full of ivory white liquid—the extreme insulation fluid. However, it couldn’t prevent the radiation produced by solar flares and the artificial sun from reaching him.
Carefully, Lilith put on the oxygen mask for Donald before shutting the nutrition pod.
The nutrition pod alone had cost one billion to build.
Donald was pushed into a huge room.
“Prepare to activate the artificial sun!”
“Prepare the submarine with a detection range of three hundred miles!”
“Azure Wyvern Guard, listen up. Kill any suspicious beings who appear nearby Lord Campbell Mountain Villa. You’re allowed to take action before reporting the matter!”
Donald entered the laboratory officially on New Year’s Eve.
The New Year was arriving.
Pollerton was less crowded than usual, for most people had returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Wynter, Lana, and the other women all returned to their homes for the New Year’s holiday.
Alone at home, Reina watched the brightly lit city outside her window.
Donald could no longer be reached on his phone.
She stared in the direction of Lord Campbell Mountain Villa worriedly. However, she couldn’t stop hope from blooming in her heart.
Jennifer’s family was having a great time.
Skylar and her family visited them, so Linda and Leonard warmly welcomed them.
Jennifer’s heart felt empty. Holding her phone, she didn’t forget to keep calling Donald.
Alas, his phone was switched off. He also didn’t reply to her WhatsApp messages.
There was an inexplicable sense of emptiness deep within her.
This would be the first New Year that she would be spending without Donald since they got to know each other.
“Jennifer, has the outstanding payment for the land reclamation project been paid?” Skylar suddenly asked. “Kevin wants to propose to me during Martin Luther King Jr. Day.”
Jennifer’s brows scrunched up.
Skylar continued matter-of-factly, “You’re Kevin’s sister, so you should pay your share for our wedding.”
Jennifer told her, “I was only able to succeed as the Wilson family in Tayhaven offered help. I promised to give them the money after the payment has been made.”
Skylar protested, “Even so, you should still have some left, right?”
“I paid an advance during the first phase of Lord Campbell Avenue,” Jennifer revealed. “I can only give you five hundred thousand for your wedding. It should be enough for you to decorate the venue, wedding car, and the sort. Back when I married Donald, we only spent around one hundred thousand.”
Skylar pouted in disdain. “Why did you mention Donald? He doesn’t even have a job. All he does is idle around.”
Jennifer refused to waste time with her. “Five hundred thousand. That’s the maximum I can give you.”
Skylar snorted. “That isn’t enough. I want a house, and you need to transfer the ownership of the Ferrari to me.”
Jennifer was instantly disgusted. “One house, that’s it. You can drive the car, but I won’t transfer the ownership to you.”
“If you refuse to transfer the ownership, I won’t marry Kevin!” Skylar declared.
“Whatever.” Jennifer shot her a calm look.
She knew Skylar was a loose woman, for she had seen first-hand how Skylar got all intimate with Akio.
Kevin bristled immediately. “Jennifer, how could you go back on your word? We’ve already sent the wedding invitations out!”
Skylar’s father, Yohan, took a sip of his alcohol. “Jennifer, you mustn’t be ungrateful. Your parents worked hard to bring you up, and now Kevin needs money. You shouldn’t be so money-minded, for your family is more important!”
“Continue without me.” Jennifer pushed her plate away and left the house.
It was New Year’s Eve, and the city was brightly lit. It was also snowing heavily.
Jennifer got into her car alone and went to the house she used to live in with Donald. Opening the door, she went inside.
