James Marshall, always perceptive, did not miss the warning in Daniel’s words.
This was Daniel’s formal warning to him, a sign of his suspicion that James was involved in the scheme and had been following and harassing Olivia Jenkins.
From now on, Daniel would undoubtedly be on guard against him, and might even suppress him…
After Daniel left, James’s face instantly turned gloomy. His lips tightened, and his eyes revealed his discontent and rage.
While battling to suppress his anger, James fell into deep thought.
Subsequently, he sent a message from his private phone, warning the recipient to be extremely careful and not make any mistakes.
After the recipient replied, James immediately deleted all traces of their correspondence.
Before noon, Olivia returned to Shallow Bend Villa to perform acupuncture and massage for her grandmother.
At mealtimes, Olivia accompanied her grandmother during her meals.
Mrs. Jenkins continued her routine of verbally humiliating and distressing Olivia, who, however, didn’t react to her provocations.
It was undeniable that after Olivia’s acupuncture and massage, Mrs. Jenkins had a more comfortable sleep last night, and her feet were not as painful.
After Olivia left, Mrs. Jenkins fell into a dull, daydreaming state again, her expression complex.
Leaf Fiona, carrying a pot of floral tea, came over and sat down next to Mrs. Jenkins.
She poured a cup of the tea and placed it in front of Mrs. Jenkins.
“Madam mentioned that this floral tea is cooling and has a calming effect. Mrs.
Jenkins, you might want to try some.”
Mrs. Jenkins merely lifted her eyelid slightly, and glanced disdainfully at Leaf Fiona.
She did not care about anyone who was associated with Olivia or had been assigned to monitor her.
After a moment’s hesitation, Leaf Fiona continued, “In fact, Madam is quite good. Your prejudice against her is so deeply rooted that you fail to recognize her qualities.”
“You impudent girl, who gave you the right to lecture me?”
In anger and annoyance, Mrs. Jenkins picked up her cup and splashed the tea in it onto Leaf Fiona’s face.
Leaf Fiona did not dodge. Her face drenched with the fragrant tea, she stared back at Mrs. Jenkins without backing down from her words, “Your failings are clearly evident in the way you have brought up Hannah and George Jenkins. They behave in an uncontrollable and domineering manner, reflecting your failed upbringing.”
Mrs. Jenkins, furious, reached out to slap Leaf Fiona, but was stopped as Leaf
Fiona grabbed her hand.
Leaf Fiona glared at Mrs. Jenkins and warned her coldly, “When Madam is away, I am in charge. I would advise you to behave yourself, Mrs. Jenkins. Your reaction just now indicates that my words touched a sensitive spot. You know deep down that you have indeed failed.”
Mrs. Jenkins’s eyes flashed with rage as she barked, “You are merely a dog, what right do you have to lecture me?”
Leaf Fiona retorted, matching her in temperament, “If I am a dog, you are no better than a pig or a dog! I am standing up for Madam. I feel deeply wronged for her, and I am utterly disgusted with your actions. Truly, Madam owes you nothing, and you need to stop imagining otherwise.
“Madam cared for you so meticulously out of respect for Mr. Jenkins’s kindness. Don’t take her kindness for granted. If it wasn’t for her resolute stand, Jenkins Group would have been long gone. The Marshall family respects Madam, not you.
“You have lived a long life and yet you act so foolishly. You are not only physically blind, but your heart is blind too. Madam is the daughter-in-law of the richest man in the country, and for her to slave away for you is a blessing you earned from several lifetimes, but instead of cherishing it, you bully her daily. You have wasted your life.”
Angry and frustrated, Mrs. Jenkins picked up the teapot to throw at Leaf Fiona. Leaf Fiona mocked, “Look at you, Mrs.. Jenkins, acting like a shrew!”
