Son-In-Law Madness

The Son-In-Law Shot To Fame Chapter 83

“Ms. Dolezal is my benefactor, whereas you are the person who gave me a renewed life.” Reina stared intently at Donald immediately after those words.

In response, Donald raised his wine glass. “Cheers.”

After downing the wine in one go, Reina asked, “Have you considered ending your single life, Donald?”

Donald was startled by that question and did not know how to respond to it.

At that moment, Reina blushed and lowered her head slightly. “W-What do you think of me?”

Once again, Reina’s words took Donald aback. He could not help but turn to glance at her before responding.

In his opinion, Reina was undoubtedly a beautiful-looking woman. She had fair skin, sparkling eyes, and a petite frame. If her personality were not self-assertive and independent, Donald believed she would easily arouse men’s desire to protect her.

Concurrently, Reina looked at Donald in a mixture of shyness and anticipation while still having reddened cheeks.

After all, taking the initiative to say those earlier words was quite embarrassing for a woman.

“You’re a fine woman without question,” Donald answered after a while.

Upon hearing that sentence, Reina waited for Donald’s next sentence expectantly.

“However, are we compatible?” Donald fixed his gaze at Reina before continuing, “Jennifer and I love each other, but we’re still separated. Do you know why?”

Reina’s face darkened at that instant. Nevertheless, she still nodded and replied, “Okay. I get it. In any case, I’m still very grateful to you for your help.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Letting out a sigh, Donald uttered, “I have no choice but to walk some paths on my own. Those paths are dark at times and turbulent as well.”

That utterance made Reina suddenly feel that Donald was a lonely and pitiful individual.

Consequently, she grabbed his hand and said, “I’m not afraid. I can be by your side.”

Donald looked at her earnestly and responded, “My world is not only dark but dangerous. I will not consider anything about relationship matters for the time being.”

The brightness in Reina’s eyes dimmed again after those words, but she was still holding onto Donald’s hand.

Just when Donald was about to say something, someone interrupted.

“Isn’t this Donald?” An alluring-looking woman was looking at Donald in surprise. Apart from her looks, she was slender and tall. One could tell that she was the enticing type with a single glance. There was also a man standing beside her currently. He looked at Donald condescendingly before shifting his gaze toward Reina. Wow. This woman is the tycoon from Pollerton who started from scratch? Her looks are not bad indeed.

“It’s only been a few days since you divorced Jennifer. Now you’re already searching for a new lover?” The woman stared at Donald with disdain. Her gaze then fell upon Donald and Reina’s hands that were still holding together.

Immediately afterward, Donald withdrew his hand and wiped his mouth with a tissue before lifting his head. “That’s none of your business.”

The second she heard that response, the woman furrowed her brows and gazed at Donald with even more contempt. “Do you realize how despicable you are? I heard that you still don’t have a job. Fortunately, Jennifer has already divorced you. Otherwise, you would be a weakling who lives off a woman.”

As for the man beside her, his gaze had turned cold. How dare he speak to my woman in such a manner? Does he have a death wish?

A few seconds later, Reina stood up and uttered calmly, “Without depending on the man beside you, you’re nothing as well.”

Sure enough, that enchanting woman was outraged. She pointed at Reina and shouted, “How dare you! I think you’re the one who depends on men!”

Her loud voice had attracted the attention and piqued the interest of many customers.

For that reason, the woman was all fired up. “I don’t believe that a pretty lady with no background like you can reach your current status without sleeping with old geezers

when you were doing businesses! You might have already slept with tons of men!”

Upon hearing those demeaning words, Reina’s face turned pale.

Quite a few people did suggest that kind of immoral act to her back then, but she rejected all of them

Up to the present, her most intimate action with a man was only holding hands with Donald

As a woman, no matter how independent and self-reliant Reina was, there were still times when she felt vulnerable.

She feared such speculation and was very bothered by it 13 well. Thus, she was exceedingly irritated when that woman spoke those words right before Donald.

“Why are you not responding?” The alluring woman grinned smugly and proceeded, “Is it because I’m right?”

Before Reina could make any refutations, Donald slapped the woman across the face. As a result, a palm print appeared on the woman’s heavily-makeup face.

“Such groundless speculation tarnishes others’ reputations. Repeat those words if you dare.” Donald spoke expressionlessly.

Even though he was impassive, he was a caring person in truth.

If you love me, I’ll treat you as a friend and protect you. On the other hand, it does not matter if you hate me. I’ll destroy you if you intend to go against me. Those were some of the principles Donald had.

Regardless, Donald was only a human.

That was why he smacked that woman on the face.

About the woman, she was no random person but Jennifer’s cousin, Madelyn Zimmerman. She was also one of the many guests who attended Donald and Jennifer’s wedding.

“Donald!” Madelyn covered her face while staring at Donald in disbelief. “How dare you slap me! He has the nerve to hit me, Jasper!”

The man standing beside Madelyn, Jasper Albee, held Madelyn’s shoulder and pointed at Donald. His expression had turned chilling and terrifying at that point. “You slapped my woman in front of me and at my restaurant. Do you have a death wish?”

It was then that Donald noticed Jasper’s presence.

Judging from his appearance, Jasper was in his mid-twenties. He was not the handsome type, but he possessed a charismatic temperament. One could tell that he hailed from a wealthy family.

Donald glanced at Jasper swiftly and made no response as he had no interest in saying anything.

“You’d better kneel and apologize right now, Donald. Otherwise, it will be too late for you to plead for mercy!” Madelyn sneered while she spoke.

“Oh really?” Donald asked nonchalantly.

Hearing that casual reply, Jasper snorted before chiming in, “Aren’t you relying on Reina? Do you think she can protect you when I unleash my wrath?”

While speaking, he also went closer to Donald. “Getting rid of a person in Pollerton is a piece of cake for me. I think you’re still unaware of the power I wield!”

Once she heard those frightening words, Reina was alarmed and tugged Donald’s sleeve with regret. “Let me deal with this, Donald!”

She recognized that Donald had no idea who Jasper was, but she knew.
