Chapter 37
Jennifer threw open the wardrobe as though she had lost her mind, but all the clothes belonging to Donald were gone.
She then opened the shoe cabinet, but all that remained were her shoes.
The wall was bare, with even their wedding photo missing.
She slumped onto the ground and covered her face with both hands, weeping in agony. “Why are you so cruel? Why?”
Phoning Linda, she sobbed, “Mom, have Kev come to pick me up. I want to go back and stay overnight at your place.”
“What’s the matter? What happened? Why are you crying? I’ll have Kev come and pick you up right away!” Linda fretted.
Half an hour later, Kevin arrived with Skylar trailing behind him.
Right then, he was as smug as ever. Skylar was also looking all high and mighty.
In just a few hours, the Wilson family had actually made a comeback. None of them ever expected the Wilson family in Tayhaven, with whom they had no contact for several decades, would start reuniting the family. Therefore, Kevin likewise rose with the tide. That outstanding man even gave him two million at a single go.
When he laid eyes on the man, he understood that people varied.
Harrison was an insidious sissy, but that man was a formidable warrior-matured, calm, and ambitious.
That man’s name was Nigel Wilson, and he was Tayhaven King’s most outstanding son
He had taken an interest in Jennifer.
Everyone familiar with him knew that he suffered no lack of women, nor would he love someone wholeheartedly. So far, not a single woman whom he fancied ever managed to escape him.
Of course, he wouldn’t marry Jennifer. All he wanted was to have her body.
After all, his fiancée was in Jadeborough, and she was truly from the aristocratic class.
Contempt showed on Kevin’s face. “Why are you crying when you’ve already divorced Donald, Jennifer? Isn’t that something joyous? Nigel is sincere toward you.”
Jennifer lifted her head. For the first time, repulsion manifested on her face.
Is this really my brother? For the sake of his own interests, he pushes me into the line of fire time and again! It was Harrison before this, and now, it’s Nigel. If someone more outstanding than Nigel appears, I have no doubt that he’ll still push me into the line of fire!
“Donald is nothing when you’re now the leader of the Wilson family in Pollerton!” Skylar crowed excitedly.
Her initial plan of dumping Kevin after bagging herself a rich man was all but gone since the man was also considered wealthy then.
“Let’s go,” Jennifer muttered.

After getting into the car, Kevin declared, “Uncle Theo is waiting for you at home.”
Jennifer was taken aback. “Who do you mean?”
Speaking of that, Kevin wore a deferential expression. “Uncle Theo from the Wilson family in Tayhaven, Nigel’s most loyal subordinate. I noticed that even Mark from Blade Alliance was very respectful toward him when he saw him. Also, there’s someone else with Mark whom I find exceedingly terrifying.”
When he had said that, he shuddered.
Sitting in the backseat alone, Jennifer closed her eyes and mulled about her next step.
The Wilson family in Tayhaven didn’t only enter Pollerton because they wanted to dominate the pharmaceutical industry here. Nigel Wilson appears very attentive to me, but I’m not sure whether he’s sincere. Nonetheless, the elderly man who’s lying on his deathbed is indeed sincere in his wish to reunite the family. In all this, there’s certainly some secret unbeknownst to me. She recalled everything she had experienced in the past few hours.
Indeed, she had met with Nigel.
He was a man who was arrogant to the core yet mature and steady. One could tell that he had a strong foundation with a single look.
Such a foundation could never be established without a century-old affluent family
backing him up.
In no time, they arrived at Jennifer’s parents’ house.
Leonard and Linda were both sitting there respectfully with ingratiating expressions on their faces.
Across from them sat three people.
One was an imperious-looking middle-aged man in his fifties with an angular face. He was the “Uncle Theo” from the Wilson family in Tayhaven whom Kevin mentioned, Theo Wilson. Sitting next to him was Mark from Blade Alliance, bald with black lotus tattoos all over his head.
There was another burly man sitting beside him who appeared to be about forty years old with a height of two meters.
He was only wearing a singlet, and his arms were as thick as tree trunks. Likewise, he was bald, but he had a golden lotus tattoo on his head.
Just sitting there, he gave off a sense of infinite pressure.
If Tyson were there, he would definitely recognize the man.
After all, Mark’s brother once worked for Divine Rune Society in the outer region. The skills he possessed were exceedingly terrifying, especially his head, which was said to be able to withstand a force of two tons and was impenetrable.
At the sight of Jennifer pushing open the door and entering, Theo flashed her a faint smile. “You’re back?”
Nodding, Jennifer respectfully greeted, “Uncle Theo.”
