Chapter 481 Ruined Plans
Twenty slaps landed on Tyrone’s face, causing it to swell horribly. The calmness and fake wisdom in his eyes had long gone by then. Poor guy…
That was what most were thinking. It was supposed to be a grand engagement ceremony where everyone in the city would congratulate him. The luxurious party ended with his fiancée running away and him being slapped endlessly.
Everyone could tell that Tyrone would go insane after the day was over, and the wrath of the Campbell clan would befall the entire city. “A war is brewing in Pollerton,” murmured Neil as he stirred his coffee to conceal the shock and fear within him.
Tyrone sat there. He might seem emotionless, but everyone could see the anger and cruelty in his eyes. “Leave,” commanded Tyrone calmly.
Everyone stood up immediately. It was as though their actions were in sync. Leonard and Linda stood up as well. They were panicking endlessly, even as they moved toward the exit.
The Wilson family’s guests and Gideon were in terrible shape. They turned to one another and saw the anxiousness and hatred burning in their eyes.
The Campbell clan would be attacking soon, and no one could stop them. “That stupid Donald. Why can’t he just drop dead?” complained Linda angrily.
“That bast*rd!” said Michael who was a little angry as well. Gideon was fuming even more. If he could, he would chop Donald into pieces.
At that time, Donald had already taken Jennifer to the house in Norham. She was touched and seemed a little shy when she asked, “Where have you been this past year?”
Donald replied, “I went for surgery and to recuperate. Fortunately, I am naturally strong, so I’ve recovered quite well.”
“I’m glad to hear that,” replied Jennifer. She was truly happy at that moment. When she finished speaking, she realized that he was staring right at her, and it seemed his breathing was getting uneven.
Jennifer blushed red and tilted her head down. She was looking forward to what he was going to do next.
Donald put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to make her sit on his lap. She felt powerless instantly, but it wasn’t an unpleasant experience.
Just before Donald could do anything else, both of their phones rang. The one who called Jennifer was Leonard, and the one who called Donald was Raymond.
The young couple looked into each other’s eyes. Both felt a little unhappy about being interrupted.
From the other end of the line, Raymond said, “Donald, our ally from Jadeborough likely won’t survive the night. What do we do? Have you thought about how to deal with the dire consequences?”
From the other phone, Leonard’s scolding could be heard. “Where the hell are you, Jennifer? Get your butt home right now or you bear the consequences!”
“It’s fine. You should head home. I will help you and back you up,” promised Donald. Jennifer nodded sweetly. “Okay, then. Be careful.”
Donald went to talk to Raymond after that. Raymond looked burdened and worried. “Our Jadeborough ally, Mr. Sanchez, is on his deathbed,” said Raymond in a coarse voice.
Solomon Sanchez was Raymond’s savior and the main investor of the Dragon Fide Villa project all those years ago. Unfortunately, the guy fell ill soon after and had to take a backseat.
He was the reason the Campbell clan had been behaving, and it was thanks to him that Raymond survived. He was more than just Raymond’s lifeline, though. Solomon was also Raymond’s very good friend, so the latter wished that the former would recover.
“He’ll be fine. I just need to drop by Jadeborough tonight,” promised Donald sincerely. Raymond stared. He didn’t understand why Donald was that confident, but he sighed deeply and waved his hand, anyway. “Then do as you wish.”
Kevin was in a bad mood and was drinking blindly in the bar. His dream of driving a posh car and living in a luxurious mansion had turned to dust, and he would kill Donald if he could.
Skylar suddenly made her way to him and asked, “Have you thought about what you’d do next?”
