Her gaze leisurely swept over the gift box, Olivia Jenkins’ sharp eyes focused on Martin Wallace.
“What’s this supposed to mean? Did Daniel Marshall ask you to deliver this
Martin Wallace feigned suspense, “Open it and see, then I’ll tell you.” “Lawyer Wallace, I must say you seem particularly idle these days!” A mocking glint in her eyes, Olivia Jenkins picked up the box and opened it.
It was a diamond necklace, something a little special.
The diamond in the pendant was truly dazzling. By the look of it, it weighed at least two carats, meticulously crafted, clearly high-end luxury jewelry, not the slightest bit stingy.
Olivia Jenkins took it out, looking closely.
Having been married to Daniel Marshall for quite a while, even if Olivia Jenkins didn’t want to understand him, she had a general sense of his temperament. He was not the kind of man who would buy such jewelry to appease her.
Daniel Marshall was not that careful and considerate.
Given Daniel’s temper — capricious, treating her as if she owed him hundreds of millions — Olivia Jenkins didn’t think he would be the one to appease her.
“Lawyer Wallace, this necklace isn’t bad, how much did it cost? Wasn’t it tough on you?”
Olivia Jenkins’ sharp gaze made Martin Wallace somewhat uncomfortable. He let out a roguish laugh, relieving some of his embarrassment.
Not only does Mrs. Jenkins have a good eye, but she’s also brilliant. Martin Wallace couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt.
Thankfully, Martin Wallace was accustomed to weathering storms. He kept his cool, showing no signs of guilt, maintaining a smile as if nothing had happened.
Besides, his smile became increasingly warm.
“Madam Jenkins, what are you talking about? This is the boss’s sincerity, how would I know how much it’s worth! Sentiment is naturally priceless!”
Olivia Jenkins slightly raised an eyebrow, her clear and vivid eyes revealing undisguised disdain, “It’s indeed beautiful, but… the diamond is a little small, Daniel is really stingy!”
At that, Martin Wallace didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He reached out, lightly combing through his forehead.
A two-carat diamond was by no means small; it’s worth a million already.
He would need to take the invoice for reimbursement later.
Suppressing a smile, Martin Wallace shamelessly commented, “The boss was just testing your preferences. If you like diamonds, he would give you a larger one. He was just worried that if you didn’t like the gift he gave you, you’d throw it in the trash. Therefore, he first bought a smaller diamond to gauge your preference.”
Olivia Jenkins blinked her eyes and smirked, “Who would have a tiff with money? Moreover, I’m not that unreasonable. If we were to divorce someday, these pieces of jewelry would be my personal assets. If I don’t want to see them, I can sell them. I love money, why would I bother with it!”
Martin Wallace couldn’t conceal the delight in his heart and started laughing heartily.
He thought that Daniel Hammond had found a gem. Olivia was witty, articulate, and had an exceptional personality. She was definitely a woman worth marrying. Moreover, she was charming, as if radiating a glow.
He even believed that Olivia Jenkins was a better fit for Daniel than Charmy Bennett was.
If the woman Daniel met earlier was Olivia Jenkins, perhaps he wouldn’t have to endure that painful past.
“Madam Jenkins, it’s good that you can think like this. In life, you always must look forward, and not look back. Once you stir up the dust of the past, it will only blind your eyes.”
“Lawyer Wallace, surely you didn’t make a special trip to lecture me? Are there any more gifts? Next time, I suggest not buying flowers for me, just give me money directly. I like to receive money.”
Martin Wallace nodded solemnly, “I’ll pass on all your words to the boss, I believe he’ll know what to do next time and win your heart.’
Olivia Jenkins fell silent, her expression showing a hint of cold arrogance.
She accepted the necklace and put it in a drawer.
Since there’s someone willing to give her money, why would she refuse!
