Chapter 82 Thanks To Donald
Despite her curiosity, Jennifer didn’t inquire about that. Instead, she asked, “How old is he?”
After a brief moment of thought, Reina answered, “Probably twenty-seven… or maybe twenty-eight.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“He’s so young!” Jennifer was a little taken aback.
Reina, on the other hand, smiled in return without a word.
“Oh, yes. Old Mr. Wilson’s birthday is approaching soon. Do you have any plans since you’re a member of the Wilson family?” Jennifer raised the main subject.
Reina hesitated for a while. Eventually, she replied, “I won’t be going, but I’ve prepared a gift. Help me pass it to him when you’re there.”
Jennifer continued, “I might be meeting Old Mr. Wilson at Tayhaven tonight.”
Reina asked, “Why are you heading to Tayhaven all of a sudden?”
“In all honesty, Nigel has had visions for Scarlet Swan Villa that I don’t. Besides, it’s already a loss. There’s no need to waste any more time. To be successful, I need to look at the big picture. I have fixed my eyes on Southwood E-commerce District. Tonight, I’ll meet Old Mr. Wilson to finalize some things,” Jennifer explained.
Reina felt as if Jennifer was a stranger to her. “You’ve grown up,” she sighed after staring at Jennifer for a while.
Jennifer returned the sigh. “I’ve been through enough.”
She couldn’t help but think of Donald, and it made her sad.
“I’ll make a move first.” Following that, Jennifer stood up.
Reina sent her off.
Not long after that, another major piece of news was announced.
Wynter the diva would be the brand ambassador for scarlet swans. The commercial was already in production, and filming had begun.
Scarlet Swan Villa quickly rose to prominence that night.
It received over three thousand reservations in a single night and made more than twenty million in revenue.
Not only that, Scarlet Swan Villa became a popular destination for influencers. There was a never-ending stream of tourists. One ticket only cost thirty, which was worth it. In just a few days, the tourism part of the sales alone generated more than ten million in revenue.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Scarlet Swan Villa because it had become an iconic cash cow.
As long as Reina kept an eye on Scarlet Swan Villa, she would be prosperous in the days to come.
At the time, Donald, who orchestrated the entire scene, was attending a dinner to which Reina had invited him.
It was just the two of them.
Reina’s face was flushed as she met Donald’s gaze, her outfit impeccable. Petite and thin, the loose bat top and tights Reina wore that night gave her a young, cute, and energetic look.
“Donald, thank you so much.” Reina personally served Donald a glass of wine.
Donald replied, “I’m not used to drinking wine.” He added, “Waiter, can I have a bottle of beer?”
The waiter responded, “I’m sorry. We don’t serve it here.”
You must be joking. This is a high-class hotel. People spend three thousand on average here. And you’re expecting to find beer here?
Reina pursed her lips and smiled. She then took out a stack of banknotes and ordered, “Go buy some!”
In a frenzy, the waiter dashed out. Almost immediately, he served a bottle of beer.
“Do you want some?” Donald asked.
Reina nodded after thinking about it for a few moments and was given a half-glass.
Right after that, Donald held the bottle and took a big gulp.
Reina swallowed the beer despite her unfamiliarity with drinking and reddened eyes from the prickling sensation in her throat.
Soon enough, Reina was tipsy, and she became more talkative. “Donald, thank you so much. Without you, I would probably have been doomed.”
Donald replied, “It seems like you’ve been through a lot.”
Reina’s eyes were red. “Yes, I did. I was born into a dysfunctional family. Growing up, no one supported me. My father divorced my mother when I was very young. He abandoned us and disappeared with that other woman. Although I had begged him to stay, he refused to listen.”
She continued, “After graduating, I established an online platform, which I sold for three million. During this time, he came back but disappeared immediately after stealing one million from me. After that, I created Pollerton Real Estate from scratch. I did everything from demolition to renovation. I even begged for investment and funding, but I did not receive any response. There were also some who made outrageous demands, but l rejected them.” Reina’s eyes gradually filled up with tears. “I was driving a broken bread van at the time and saw a woman walking in the hot summer sun. Out of kindness, I drove her around, and she made a direct investment of ten million. That was when I started building my business.”
