“We can use reverse psychology in this case and spread more negative news,” said Donald.
Reina was intelligent and caught the meaning behind his suggestion immediately. “What shall we do after that?”
“We can spend three days creating and spreading rumors to enlarge our weaknesses. Not only that, but we can also find a most sensitive and important topic that can catch everyone's attention to make the gossip trending. We can do so using Pollerton Television.” Donald narrowed his eyes as he made that suggestion.
Aren't you powerful, Nigel? I'll love to see if you can outmaneuver me while I reserve my trump card.
“But what about Nigel?” Reina asked.
Hearing that, Donald sneered, “If he uses the influence of the Wilson family of Tayhaven, I'll let him have a taste of my unstoppable plan.”
Reina was rendered speechless by Donald's display of arrogance.
You're just Lana's bodyguard, okay? However, Nigel Wilson is the heir of Tayhaven King, and he's the most promising person in the Wilson family of Tayhaven.
After a brief silence, Reina raised her doubts on Donald, and the latter answered each of her questions patiently.
Reina was pleasantly surprised by Donald's thorough explanation and stared at him with suspicion. Are you really just a bodyguard? If so, why are you only working as a bodyguard when you're so good at scheming?
“Are you really just a bodyguard?” Reina couldn't help but ask.
“What else would I be?” Donald answered rhetorically.
Reina continued, “Aren't you worried that this will make your ex-wife sad?”
“Don't worry. This is a fight between Nigel and me. She has nothing to do with this,” Donald responded.
Reina expressed her concerns immediately. “We're going to lose everything if we accidentally make a mistake, and there'll be no chance for us to redeem ourselves.”
“This is your ultimate chance, Reina. If you succeed, you'll become a classic trade war case study in the business world,” answered Donald.
Upon hearing Donald's persuasion, Reina closed her eyes and pondered for a while before opening her eyes again and agreeing. “All right. I'll listen to you for once.
Not long after, a bitter grin crept onto her face. “To be honest, I can't believe I'm putting so much faith in a bodyguard's advice, given that this is the first time we've met. The board of directors will mock me for being so naive if they know about this.”
Donald smiled at her remarks dismissively.
Soon, the vehicle had reached Pollerton Estates. The security guards had quite a good eye and allowed Donald and Reina into the area as soon as they saw the luxurious car that cost half a billion.
After parking the car in the car park, Reina and Donald walked to their destination. To Donald's surprise, Reina's house was located right behind the Prime Property of Pollerton.
When they walked past the property, Reina glanced at it and said, “I've heard that this property was sold to someone, and the current market price is 1.3 billion. The renovation alone has been going on for a few years.”
To that, Donald remained silent, because the property was undergoing the process of being transferred to his name.
The night breeze blew gently across Reina's hair as the bright streetlights shone on Donald's tall figure and Reina's curvy silhouette.
Suddenly, Reina was overwhelmed with a sudden surge of sadness.
Meanwhile, Donald was staring ahead into the distance, because he saw five people walking toward Reina and him toward the same destination.
They were all heading toward the building behind the most expensive residential property in Pollerton.
The leader of the group was a short man dressed in an expensive suit. He had a greasy face, and his right hand was wrapped up with bandages. He was none other than Kevin, who had almost drowned at sea.
At first, Donald planned to kill Kevin. However, he was worried that Jennifer would be sad about it. Thus, he just instructed his men to toss him into the ocean and left promptly. After that, Kevin and Mark got out of the water.
Behind Kevin was Jennifer. She had rosy cheeks that suggested she might've drunk some wine, and she was dressed in a pink trench coat that accentuated her slender legs.
Beside Jennifer stood Leonard and Linda.
Jennifer was stunned momentarily as she met Donald's eyes. Shortly after that, her expression darkened as she shifted her gaze to Reina.
We're only divorced for a couple of days, and you're already indulging yourself?First, it was Hannah, then came Lana. Now, you have Reina by your side. The main thing is that none of these three women are any lesser than me.
Hannah was merely 28 years old, but she was already a medical professor who graduated from Pliston University. Lana was the most formidable businesswoman in Pollerton. Last but not least, Reina was a legendary woman who started her business empire from scratch.
“Looks like I have delayed you and taken away your freedom with our previous marriage.” Jennifer walked toward Donald and lifted her head to stare directly at his face.
At that moment, she felt as if she didn't know him at all.
It was a strange yet familiar feeling, with a slight hint of wistfulness.
Were you always a stranger to me? Or is it because I've never truly understood you? Have you always been hiding this side of you from me? Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Donald looked at Jennifer and backed away slightly, then shook his head to express his lack of interest in talking to her.
