After dinner, William Jacobs went back to his group, and Olivia Jenkins headed over to Martin Wallace’s law firm.
Seeing Olivia Jenkins seated in front of him, Martin raised an eyebrow with a curious look, making a joke, “Does Daniel know that you came to see me?”
Olivia blinked her innocent eyes, “Do you want him to know? Lawyer Wallace, did I cause you any trouble?”
Martin gave a meaningful smile.
The taste of the expensive abalone from the Eight Treasures Building is still lingering in his mouth!
He didn’t mind Olivia’s frequent visits, but he had to restrain his joy. He had to appear nonchalant.
“It’s not a trouble. Since there are cases for me to take on, and you are paying me, of course, I am grateful. But I am afraid I might not be able to handle it
well or make you satisfied.”
Olivia squinted her almond-shaped eyes and smiled slightly. “Lawyer Wallace, you are overstating it! Today, I really need a favor from you. As a lawyer, you are well-versed in many laws and know what can and cannot be done. I have faith that you are the most suitable person to help me.”
Martin pursed his lips and said seriously, “In that case, I am very interested.”
There was a sly smile in Olivia’s eyes.
If Martin knew then Daniel would probably know too.
The task could definitely be accomplished.
“The CFO of Jenkins Group has a single daughter, she is in M country. I’m not sure whether she’s okay over there. I don’t know how she is spending her father’s money and whether she is justified or in trouble. Please do a thorough investigation for me, video recording or a video call is acceptable.” Martin nodded, “I understand what you mean. This is doable.”
“I can give you the deposit right away.” Olivia took out the bank card that Daniel gave her and waved it in front of Martin.
Without any hesitation, he asked the finance department to charge Olivia ten thousand yuan.
Olivia stood up, stretched out her hand for a handshake with Martin, “Lawyer
Wallace, I’m looking forward to our cooperation.”
Martin narrowed his eyes, “I’m looking forward to our cooperation too!”
When Olivia left, Martin curled his lips and slowly formed a bitter smile.
Martin mocked himself, “In the end, I’m just a pawn for you two. The couple is weird, wouldn’t it be better for them to talk face to face? It’s strange to have me play this middleman role. They often ask me to act as a light bulb, bearing the intense brightness. It’s alright? If it weren’t for the expensive abalone, I wouldn’t bother.”
Suddenly, Martin’s phone rang.
He answered immediately.
“Daniel, you really are quick! Your wife just swiped ten thousand yuan. She just left.”
Daniel already knew because he had received a text message about the transaction on his private phone.
If Olivia uses his secondary card, he can easily keep track of her whereabouts and her actions.
“What does my wife want to do?”
“Investigate the only daughter of Jenkins Group’s CFO, who is in M country. It seems that the CFO of Jenkins Group has been tight-lipped. Your wife is getting impatient with the situation. No bank is willing to lend money and there is no way to retrieve the transferred property, making the operation of the Jenkins Group very difficult.”
Daniel’s eagle-like eyes were piercing, “I’ll have someone assist you. Just follow her request, but make it clean, and don’t leave any marks.”
“You can absolutely trust in my capability. However, you clearly know your wife is using you and you have no objections?”
There was a desolate coldness in Daniel’s voice, “It seems like you are the one with objections? If you don’t handle it well, bear the consequences yourself!”
