Chapter 497
Chapter 497 You Brought This Upon Yourself Linda chattered away, “Melanie is a high-ranking official at such a young age.
Obviously, she slept her way to the top.” Leonard added, “She’s twenty-seven this year but she is already a high-ranking official.
Her future husband wouldn’t have to work hard at all.” Jennifer snorted. “Someone as influential as her won’t marry an ordinary
man. I’m pretty sure no man from the Ten Prestigious Families can win her heart easily.” Leonard glanced at her.
“By the way, Jennifer, how is your business doing?” Jennifer’s face was devoid of expression as she responded, “I don’t have
any business now. All my previous partners blocked me, and my employees are resigning in batches. I’m losing many
employees as we speak.” Linda leaped to her feet and pointed at Jennifer. “You brought this upon yourself! Tyrone was the
perfect husband, but you weren’t satisfied with him. Look how miserable you are now. Isn’t this your fault?” Hearing that, Kevin
seethed angrily. “Someone is still infatuated over Donald. He’s nothing but a loser. Look what happened. Haha!” Jennifer got to
her feet solemnly. “We need to pack up. Someone will be here to seize our house. It’s humiliating if they were to kick us out.”
Crash! Leonard threw his cup to the ground. “You refused to lead a wealthy life and instead ended up being a beggar. Is this
what you want, Jennifer?” he demanded. Jennifer turned at her shoulder coolly.
“Dad, will anything change if you accuse me? Have you ever considered my feelings?” With that said, she pulled the door open
and stormed out. “Kev, you have some connections. I finally realize that your sister isn’t reliable at all. It would help if you started
a business yourself. I have over one million that you can use to start a business,” Linda told Kevin in a serious tone. She pulled a
card out and offered it to Kevin. Kevin took it from her and asked blankly, “What business should I do?” Leonard and Linda were
taken aback. He’s right. What business should he do? Linda thought long and hard before she suggested, “Pollerton Pharma is
looking for distributors, right? Find out what the requirements are. If you can’t make it, you can open a pharmacy.” “Sure. I’ll do
that tomorrow.” Kevin pocketed the card, but he was thinking about where he should gamble that night.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was strolling along the busy street out of boredom. Suddenly, a van rolled to a stop beside her. A few
masked men stepped out of the truck and brandished their knives at her. “Get in the car!” they barked. Jennifer cowered back in
fear, but they quickly surrounded her. In the dark, a lady wearing a white traditional outfit glared at them icily. A long sword
appeared in her hand as she got ready to defeat the masked men. Soon, a smirk flitted across her lips as she blended back into
the darkness. A tall man clad in a suit stepped out and yelled, “What are you doing? Are you trying to kidnap her?” He rushed out
and punched one of the kidnappers’ faces without hesitation. The kidnapper screamed in anguish. “Kill him!” he ordered. There
were five kidnappers in total, and they charged at him with their knives aimed at him. The tall man waved his hand. “Get them!” A
dozen bodyguards wearing black suits emerged and seized the kidnappers in the blink of an eye. “Ma’am, are you all right?” The
man turned around and gazed at Jennifer in concern. Finally, Jennifer got to see his face clearly. She immediately gaped in
disbelief. Oh, my. What a hunk!
The man’s cheekbones appeared chiseled into shape by a master craftsman. They looked like they were sculpted and pared to
perfection. With eyes as bright and spellbinding as lode stars, they bewitched all those who fell under his steady gaze. Standing
at one hundred and eighty-five centimeters tall, he looked like a domineering CEO in his expensive suit. Jennifer’s cheeks turned
pink when she realized he was gazing at him. “I’m fine. Thank you.
