Chapter 181 The Return Of The Third Wheel
“Oh, that won’t be a problem. My pockets are deep enough, so I wouldn’t mind not having that extra twobillion. Okay, it’s time for my skincare routine. See you next time!”
Immediately afterward, Gideon was kicked out the door.
“B*tch!” Gideon cursed as soon as he was outside. “What did that Donald use to bewitch her?”
Winston scoffed, “Donald must have blind luck to catch Lana’s eye. What a good-for-nothing pest wholives off women! I think we ought to go see Reina. If things still don’t work out, then we will head toTorson International and Stardew International. I really hope that these two companies are not related toDonald.”
After meeting up with Reina, she gave them the same answer as Lana did. “I’ll agree to this if Donaldagrees.”
Gideon was fuming, but the consequence was not that bad.
After that, they made a beeline for Torson International.
To their surprise, Torson International’s manager instantly agreed to their proposal. That made Gideonregain his confidence.
At the same time, Donald received a call from Reina, but he did not take the news to heart.
From his perspective, Gideon and the gang were a bunch of clowns, so he would not waste his energytrampling on them.
After ending the conversation with Reina, his cellphone rang.
As soon as Donald answered it, a crisp voice was heard from the other end of the phone. “Donald, I’mback from studying abroad.”
Donald knitted his brows upon hearing the voice of Jennifer’s cousin.
Jennifer’s aunt was a lecturer at Pollerton University. She was an aggressive woman. Her husband diedyoung. Instead of remarrying, she sold her car and house, and she single-handedly brought up herdaughter, Ysabel Zimmerman.
Ysabel grew up well. She was twenty years old that year.
When Donald and Jennifer were still madly in love three years ago, Ysabel had been playing the thirdwheel, following Donald day in and day out like a shadow.
Then, she had gotten an opportunity to be an exchange student at a top university abroad, majoring inart and design.
Donald queried, “Are you back in Pollerton?”
Ysabel exclaimed, “Yes, yes! I call you the second I landed in Pollerton. So, would you like to pick meup?”
Donald replied, “Your mom told you to stay away from me.”
Her mother had always been very attentive.
A few years ago, she had cautioned her daughter to stay away from Donald because, in her eyes, hewas not a simple man.
“I’m already twenty years old, so I’m free to be in any relationship!” Ysabel stated happily.
“But Jennifer and I have divorced, so we better not stay in touch.” Donald hung up the phone on thatnote.
Soon enough, the phone rang again. “That’s good news to me! We can finally get married.”
Donald grimaced. “I’m older than you by eight years.”
“And I prefer mature men.”
Donald went on, “But I don’t like you.”
“Destiny is determined by the heavens. How would you know if you don’t give it a try?”
Donald had a headache as he listened to her nonsense.
“Donald, really, I need to see you.” Ysabel sounded serious all of a sudden.novelbin
Pondering for a bit, Donald figured he had nothing important on, anyway. Hence, he agreed, “Fine.Where do we meet?”
“Erm… I’ll be seeing my classmates at Nocturne Karaoke Bar. Why don’t we go together?” Ysabelsuggested.
Donald went silent at that.
Out of the blue, Ysabel went on in a sweet voice, “Come on, Donald. Pretty please?”
Donald could not stand her voice any longer. He answered, “Okay, okay. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Nocturne Karaoke Bar was owned by Mark, and it was one of Blade Alliance’s equity assets.
Before Noah made a comeback in Pollerton, Mark had worked for the Collins family. Back then, he hadwithdrawn himself completely from Blade Alliance. Yet, he managed to reign over Blade Alliance again.
