Donald sneered and said coldly, “We don't have to regain our status in the prestigious clan. As long as I'm here, the Campbell family is already prestigious.”
His expression was stony, and even Raymond felt a chill down his spine.
“Are you planning to make a move on Sixten tonight?” Raymond queried.
“He's only a minor figure in the Campbell clan, so I don't care enough to end him.” Donald stood up straight and added, “However, I'll still try to extract information from him. If he dares to talk back, I'll kill him then.”
“You must keep a low profile while you take action. Nowadays, Pollerton is no longer what it was like before. There are various people under various authorities gathering in this city,” stated Raymond.
Donald couldn't understand the meaning behind Raymond's statement and remained silent.
Raymond pointed toward the view outside the window. “There will be a prominent figure being nurtured in Pollerton soon, and I hope that'll be you.”
Donald couldn't see what Raymond could see, and vice versa.
“Go ahead and work on your own matters. I'm tired, and I need to rest.” Raymond waved his hand and dismissed Donald.
Donald turned around and tilted his head as a thought occurred in his head. “Your birthday is around the corner. Will Uncle Felix be here to celebrate?”
Raymond shuddered at the thought of his eldest son and said, “We shall see. I haven't seen him for a long while.”
Donald chortled coldly and left.
Meanwhile, a gorgeous woman arrived at Jennifer's office. She was none other than Noah's daughter, Anastasia.
“Hi, this is my recommendation letter from Nigel. He suggested that I seek employment here.” Anastasia handed a recommendation letter that had Nigel's
stamp on it to Jennifer.
Jennifer took the letter from Anastasia and put it aside after merely glancing at it.
“What position do you wish to work in?”
“Your position.” Anastasia's smile was beautiful and blinding, and she stared at Jennifer with bright eyes.
“Oh? Are you trying to usurp my authority?” Jennifer chuckled.
“You can interpret it that way,” Anastasia replied.
Jennifer then retorted, “I don't agree.
Granduncle Conner assigned me to take care of the business in Pollerton.”
Anastasia didn't pressure Jennifer and merely stared at the latter with a meaningful gaze. “You better be careful of every step you take, then.”
Jennifer didn't understand what Anastasia meant and wanted to ask further, but the latter had already turned around and left.
After that brief exchange, Jennifer felt annoyed and got up from her chair to take a walk downstairs. At that moment, she felt as if she had nowhere else to go.
A little girl, who was around seven years old, was riding her hoverboard and going in Jennifer's direction unsteadily. Perhaps she was still unfamiliar with how to ride a hoverboard. She fell down in front of Jennifer and knocked her forehead onto the stairway, causing blood to drip all over her face instantly.
Jennifer was shocked by the situation and carried the little girl hurriedly. “Where are your parents, little girl? Are you all right?”
Then Jennifer glanced around and realized there was no one nearby.
“It hurts...” The little girl sobbed.
“I'll send you to the hospital.” Jennifer hailed a taxi anxiously as she comforted the little girl.
“My hoverboard.” The little girl rested on Jennifer's shoulder and whispered. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennifer stomped her feet on the ground frantically as she carried the little girl in one arm and held the hoverboard in the other. Then she got into a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
Half an hour later, the little girl's wound was treated, and her condition was fine.
“Thank you, miss. You're kind and pretty.” The little girl held Jennifer's hand.
Jennifer squatted down in front of the little girl and asked helplessly, “Where are the adults in your family?”
The little girl's face darkened instantly as she heard Jennifer's question. “They will be here to fetch me home soon.”
“You must be careful next time, do you understand?” Jennifer reminded gently.
“Here, have a lollipop.”
The little girl accepted the lollipop joyfully and said, “Thank you, miss. I'll give you something in return, but you must keep it a secret, okay?”
Upon hearing that, Jennifer squeezed her cheek and smiled. “I won't take anything from you.”
The little girl looked around before opening the back cover of the hoverboard and taking out a flash drive. Then she stuffed the flash drive into Jennifer's palm and whispered, “My daddy said I can give this to a kind person when I meet one. I think you're kind, so I'll give it to you. This is our secret, all right?”
