Translator: 549690339
When leaving the Chief Orthopedic Surgeon’s office, Olivia Jenkins shook off Daniel Marshall’s hold and walked forward on her own.
Seeing doctors and nurses scurrying by, wheeling patients in need of urgent rescue, Olivia instinctively moved out of their way and came to a halt.
Even though the doctors had already entered the elevator and the doors had closed, her eyes remained fixed on the elevator, unblinking, as if spellbound.
Unconsciously, a sour pang welled in the pits of Olivia’s heart, her nose stinging, her eyes brimming with heat.
In her memories, she was all too familiar with this hospital, as if she could visualize it even with her eyes closed.
Daniel Marshall stood behind Olivia Jenkins, wrapping his arms around her.
Reflexively, Olivia Jenkins removed his hands from her body and stepped aside,
“I’m okay. I’m doing just fine!”
Daniel Marshall frowned, his eyes narrowing at Olivia in disapproval, “You’re really stubborn!”
Olivia’s tone was frigid, “Cut the crap, let’s go.”
“Do you know, you’re like a hedgehog. Your spikes seem to love pricking me,” Daniel Marshall teased.
“That’s because you’re annoying!”
Leaving her words hanging, Olivia walked away briskly, ignoring Daniel Marshall completely.
Daniel Marshall’s face grew dark. He pursed his thin lips and watched Olivia’s receding figure with intense, frosty eyes.
Simon Howard stood behind Daniel Marshall, wanting to laugh yet not daring to.
He’d never seen a woman reject Daniel Marshall – Olivia was the first woman to dare ignore him outright.
At this moment, Daniel Marshall looked like he’d kicked an iron board!
So, Simon Howard didn’t dare speak up, in order to avoid the fallout.
After considerable hesitation, Seraphina decided to call Bella Thompson anyway.
She wasn’t sure if Bella Thompson would answer, she was just trying her luck.
Seraphina was out of options. To stand against the cunning Olivia Jenkins, she needed a powerful backer.
Suddenly, the call was picked up.
Bella Thompson arrogantly asked: “What’s up, what’s the matter?”
Seraphina spoke in the most respectful and humble manner, practically stomping herself into the ground, “Mrs. Marshall, I’m terribly sorry for disturbing you again. Olivia has hidden away Mrs. Jenkins and she’s been oppressing me, she even chased all of us out of the Jenkins house. I hope you can help me find Mrs. Jenkins. I will definitely repay you, even if I have to work like a horse.”
Bella Thompson sneered inwardly, yet declared hypocritically, “Seraphina, you’ve got some nerve! To foment discord in our mother-daughter relationship, are you tired of living?”
Seraphina lowered her ego further, feigning remorse and humility, “I didn’t mean it that way, you help me and I will help you. Olivia lacks home training, she’s lawless, she’s unworthy to be Mrs. Marshall. I feel particularly guilty, I want to apologize and make some amends.”
“You should make some amends. You Jenkins people raised Olivia Jenkins and
she’s driving Mr. Alexander Marshall to his grave. Mr. Alexander Marshall issued an order to divorce and kick Olivia out of the Marshall house and to reprimand her.”
Seraphina, adept at reading sentiments, immediately caught Bella Thompson’s implied message and coaxed: “Mrs. Marshall, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Indeed, the Jenkins family is at fault. As Olivia’s stepmother, I have a right to teach her to be a better person. Olivia has discredited both families. I will persuade her to initiate the divorce.”
“Well, that’s clear then. Anyway, Mr. Alexander Marshall has made it clear that they must get divorced under any circumstances. Olivia must keep her mouth shut and can’t disgrace the Jenkins family any further. Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness or room for negotiation.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Olivia Jenkins has brought all this onto herself, no one can forgive her.”
“Good, I will take care of it. I also worry about Mrs. Jenkins’ safety. We can’t let the younger generation run wild anymore.”
Seraphina smiled, sensing a glimmer of hope, once again.
She was determined to firmly adhere to this powerful alliance in Bella Thompson.
If she could win over Mr. Alexander Marshall, reclaiming The Jenkins Group would be just around the corner..
