Chapter 84 Alleged Settlement
“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.
Jasper was the son of the East Prince, Lucas Albee.
Lucas, Charles, Jim, Zayne, and Tyson were like insurmountable mountains in Pollerton.
A few years ago, they joined forces to drive the Parasite, Noah, away from Pollerton. Such an incident demonstrated the magnificence of their capability.
Aside from that, even though Reina’s net worth was comparable with Lucas’, his depth was much stronger than hers. On top of that, Lucas’ father-in-law was the legendary combat artist, Octagon Sect’s leader.
“Mr. Albee, I’ll compensate you a hundred million to settle things. What do you think?” Reina proposed. Despite knowing that Donald was no ordinary person, Reina thought confronting an individual like Lucas head-on was not the way.
Besides that, some rumors reported that Lucas’ son, Jasper, was an insatiable and greedy person.
“A hundred million?” Jasper twirled the ring on his thumb and continued, “It seems like Mr. Campbell is very dear to you, Ms. Wilson. You’re willing to give out a hundred million to resolve this matter for his sake.”
After hearing Jasper’s words, Reina pondered. How wonderful it will be if a hundred million can settle the issue. Unfortunately, things might not be so easy.
Jasper then uttered, “I’m not in a hurry anymore regarding this matter. We have something to attend to now, Madelyn. Let’s leave first, shall we?”
Madelyn knew that Jasper had something up his sleeves. Therefore, she glanced at Donald and Reina maliciously before nodding at Jasper. “All right.”
With that, Jasper guffawed and left while wrapping his arm around Madelyn.
At the moment, Reina was feeling despondent.
“Don’t worry. I’m here. I also want to know what tricks they have up their sleeves,” Donald assured.
Reina smiled faintly and shook her head in response. “Okay. Anything you say.”
Seeing her reaction, Donald did not say anything further. Soon after sending Reina home, he returned to the mansion in Pollerton Estates.
