Jennifer thought that as long as her parents managed the company well, they could provide for themselves for the rest of their lives. Now that they had sold off the company, Jennifer knew that they must not have much money left.
“Do you still want to go to the night market?” Donald asked Jennifer. Donald didn’t think that there were any redeemable qualities to her parents, especially since they had sent her off to sleep with Braxton for their own gains.
Donald’s question snapped Jennifer out of her thoughts. She bit down on her lip and pushed Linda away. Then, she made her way to Donald’s side and held his hand.
Jennifer took concrete steps to showcase her determination. She had done Donald wrong in many things because of her good-for-nothing parents. This time, she vowed that she would never make the same mistake again.
Linda started bawling as she watched Jennifer disappear at the end of the street. Leonard got up from the ground and bent over to pick up the ruins of the barbecue stall.
This barbecue stall was all that they had left. If they didn’t hurry up and clean up the mess to reopen their stall, they would be starving next month. Kevin, who had been sitting in a corner the whole time, burst out laughing as he watched on.
“Forget it, Mom. What are you doing crying on the floor? Jennifer has decided to go with Donald and abandoned the two of you. She’s a CEO now. Why would she give a damn about us? What’d I tell you last time? Daughters are bound to get married, and they’re going to follow their husbands. Look, I was right. I’m the only one accompanying you guys now, aren’t I?” Kevin snickered.
Leonard approached Kevin and slapped him hard across his face.
The latter lifted his head and glared at Leonard. “Did you just hit me? Was I wrong? What right do you have to hit me?”
“Because I’ve never hit you in the last twenty years! I regret that I’m only hitting you now!” Leonard berated.
He gritted his teeth and continued, “If it weren’t for you, would your sister have abandoned us just like that? If you hadn’t been a good-for-nothing son and got us into so much trouble, would we have to make a living by setting up a stall at this age?”
Kevin shot up from the ground and said coldly, “All right. Put all the blame on me. Since you think I’m the black sheep of the family, I might as well leave now.”
Then, Kevin walked away without looking back.
“Kev!”
Linda couldn’t live with the fact that her son was also leaving now, especially after her daughter had just turned her back on them.
Leonard felt a satisfying rush when he saw Linda slumped to the floor, wailing like a little child. He felt like she deserved it all.
He did not comfort her and continued to clean up the mess.
Meanwhile, at another bustling night market street, Jennifer’s eyes were brimming red with tears.
“Darling, do you think I was being too heartless?”
Donald patted her hands and said, “On the contrary, you were too kind.”
“Someone’s already trying to stir trouble at my parent’s stall tonight. What if that Raven guy seeks revenge from them when he’s awake?” Jennifer asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry. He won’t have the chance to do so,” Donald reassured her.
Jennifer knew how influential Donald was. Hence, her eyes glinted when she heard him.
“Darling, do you mean you’re going to intervene?”
Jennifer was reluctant to forgive Linda because she was worried about what Donald might think.
In fact, Donald was also trying to figure out how important he was to Jennifer when he asked her to leave.
If Jennifer still chose to put her parents first, she wouldn’t have followed him when he asked her if she wanted to continue visiting the night market.
On the other hand, if Jennifer chose to go with him, it would mean that she had chosen to put him first, and she would never do anything to bail her parents out at the expense of hurting him again.
After making sure of how he ranked in Jennifer’s heart, Donald was actually willing to give her parents a helping hand. After all, they were her parents.
