Chapter 267 Sever Ties
This is such a difficult decision. On one hand, he is the man I love, and on the other hand, they are my family. If it’s possible, I would rather die!
Jennifer could not help but look back at Donald and realized that he was looking at her.
She was surprised by his expression as he had an inconceivable expression. There was only nonchalance and no emotions.
Donald did not speak and stared blankly at her.
“Ten! Nine! Eight!”
Rupert’s voice came from the phone, sounding like the devil himself. It was followed by the miserable screams of Kevin and his family. It was extremely chaotic.
“Ah!”
Jennifer was in a daze when Kevin’s miserable screams interrupted her thoughts.
She was alarmed and turned hurriedly to look at the video. She then saw Rupert chopping off one of Kevin’s fingers with a knife.
“No. No! I’ll say it. I’ll say it!” Tears brimmed down fiercely from Jennifer’s face, and her face was white as a sheet. “Don’t hurt my family!”
“Say it! I don’t have much time!” Rupert hollered, “As long as you tell me, I promise not to hurt them!”
“Jadar Stone. It’s Jadar Stone!” Jennifer screamed as if she had lost all her strength.
Rupert chuckled smugly. “Sure enough. It’s just as we guessed. Okay, stop crying. Don’t worry. Your family will arrive home safely in a few hours.”
The video call ended.
Jennifer could not help but turn her head to look at Donald.
He just stood there as still as a statue.
There was a vacant look in his eyes, and he did not have any emotions on his face.
No one could imagine what he was feeling right then.
There was nothing worse than a broken heart.
“I’m sorry, Donald! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” Jennifer ran to embrace Donald.
Donald did not struggle and allowed Jennifer to hug him.
However, Jennifer could not feel a single trace of warmth from him.
“Donald, I’m willing to die with you. I’m really sorry! They’re my parents!” Jennifer had her hands around Donald’s waist and her tears were running down his chest.
Although Donald was right beside her, she could feel the gap growing between them.
Donald removed her hands slowly and placed his right hand on her shoulder to push her away.
Jennifer struggled, but Donald was much stronger than her.
She shook her head. “No! No!”
Donald looked at Jennifer. “You are not to blame. I simply despise myself for being unable to secure a place in your heart. Therefore, this is the end for us. From this point on, let’s sever ties. We’ll go on our own paths. I won’t care about Nigel or Tyrone anymore. I’ll leave Pollerton after I finish this mission.”
Donald stared at Jennifer intently before turning around and leaving.
Bradley stared at Jennifer and Donald with a complicated expression outside the door.
“Let her leave,” Donald said before driving away.
“Donald!” Jennifer cried as she ran after him.
Bradley sighed and said, “Ms. Wilson, do you understand what the Jadar Stone means to him? It’s fatal to him and there’s nothing in the world to cure that!”
It was the wee hours. They were three hours away from Lilith entering the laboratory.
Lightning flashed across the sky, and rain poured down endlessly.
It was extremely cold at four o’clock in the autumn.
Donald arrived amidst the downpour in a golden robe and a golden mask. He stood ramrod straight, like a javelin.
The S7-Grade laboratory’s only entrance was right behind him.
For his mission to be successful, he had to keep watch over the area for three days.
It meant that Donald had to stay there for three whole days.
