Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1264

Donald straightened his posture and gestured politely to Lionel.

"Mr. Jenkins, the place is unadorned, but if you don't mind, let's chat inside. It's not ideal to stand outside where other neighbors can see us."

During the commotion in the hallway for the past few minutes, the neighboring units came out to watch the excitement.

When they heard Lionel's self-introduction, even more people joined the crowd.

Lionel remained composed and glanced at Donald and Lacie's messy unit.

Without hesitation, he declined.

"No, thank you. Jacintha values cleanliness and Mr. Finley's home simply cannot accommodate us. I don't want to dirty Jacintha's new dress. Besides, I'm not one for pleasantries. Let's just have the discussion right here. Also, most people call me Mr. Lionel. Your way of addressing me makes me uncomfortable."

Donald could only force a smile. "Sure. Anything you say, Mr. Lionel."

He then turned to Lacie and said, "Dear, serve our guests drinks."

"No need," Jacintha rejected. "Even the glasses you two have used are too dirty for me to bear, let alone using them to serve Lionel."

Jacintha, whom they had not seen for a year, had suddenly returned. Moreover, she had completely changed from her usual obedient self to speaking with sarcasm in every word.

Donald's face turned ugly, and he scolded her in a low voice.

"Jacintha! Don't you understand the principle of loyalty to one's family? You should be grateful to those who brought you into this world and raised you!"

Jacintha remained expressionless. "I can't relate to that. You might have brought me into this world, but our family obviously lacks loyalty. I have no mother growing up, and my dad is better off dead."

Donald was infuriated. "Are you cursing me? You lived with me for over a decade, and now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you're disrespecting me!"

Lionel embraced Jacintha, holding her tightly in his arms.

Annoyed, he glanced at Jacintha and Lionel's empty hands.

After not seeing her for a year, her sudden return was solely to discuss engagement matters.

Yet, neither of them had bought any valuable gifts.

They were unwilling to make a superficial gesture, indicating that Jacintha was determined to completely sever ties after getting engaged.

Lacie, who had been silent all along, also noticed this issue and quietly approached Donald, whispering, "Dear, judging by Jacintha's attitude, she doesn't consider us as elders or family anymore. I doubt she even plans to give us an engagement gift."

Donald's expression grew even grimmer.

She was marrying a rich man, yet she was planning to skim on the engagement gift?

Not a chance!
