The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 761

After Gavin entered the room, he looked up and noticed Susan was not the only person sitting on the couch. There was also an unknown man inside the room.

“We're back, Susan,” Gavin said.

Susan was sipping wine at that moment. When she saw him rubbing his hands, wanting to take the initiative to pour her a drink, she smiled, raised her foot, and pressed her high-heeled shoe against his chest.

Gavin could not help but gulp at the sight of her long, fair leg.

Susan was a beauty, to begin with. It was rumored that she was Aldrich's secret lover.

Truth be told, Gavin fantasized about her at times in the dead of night. However, he only dared to think about it and would never actually do anything to her.

“You've done well this time. What reward do you want?”

Susan's voice was mellow and seductive when she uttered those words.

Gavin felt his throat becoming dry. With his eyes riveted on her, he stammered, “I-I'll let you decide, Susan.”

“You're really letting me decide?” Susan asked.

The look in her gaze turned more enticing, causing him to feel like he was losing himself in her eyes.

“Yes. It's your call,” Gavin answered.

Susan retracted her leg, and at that moment, Henrick suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed Gavin in the back.

“Ah!” Gavin screamed.

Susan shifted her attention to Donald, signaling for him to speak.

Donald uttered nonchalantly, “We held Thaddeus hostage, then used him to threaten Lancelot, instructing them to burn their firearms inside the warehouse. They were afraid we would kill Thaddeus, so they complied.”

When he was done talking, a hush descended over the room.

Susan clapped her hands and gave Donald a thumbs-up. “Brat, do you think this is my first day in the underworld? Thaddeus may indeed be the Gomez family's eldest grandson, but the goods at Durbaine Port were worth tens of billions. Do you think Thaddeus' life is worth that much?”

Donald stared at her and said, “It's up to you to believe it or not. That's how we did it anyway.”

She sneered. “It's not that I don't want to believe you, but I just can't bring myself to do so. Donald, back then, I admired your combat prowess, which was why I kept you around to work for me. However, are you aware that combat prowess is secondary in our line of work? Loyalty always takes precedence. I've checked your background. You're indeed Evelyn's manager, but you're more than just a manager at Dragon Fide Corporation, aren't you? How could you, the vice president of Dragon Fide Corporation, be short of money?”
