Andrew Jenkins’s eyes shot daggers, his anger turning into bitter chills.
“Mother, do you have no shame left as you utter these words? Your conniving antics are truly nauseating!”
Seraphina said nothing. Submissive in front of her mother-in-law, she kept glancing at Andrew Jenkins, carefully observing his reactions.
Knowing her guilt, Seraphina felt a rising unease.
She feared that Andrew had already discovered everything.
Knowing that Andrew had revised his will, she had to stay on high alert.
With her son still defending Olivia, Mrs. Jenkins detested Olivia even more, and angrily scolded, “I didn’t seek your approval, I merely informed you that starting tomorrow, Hannah and George will start working at the Jenkins Group. As a shareholder of the Jenkins Group, I have the right to assign their duties. You have no right to ignore them.”
Amply confronted, Seraphina defended using crocodile tears, “Mother, let’s not bother about it. If Hannah and George don’t work at the Jenkins Group, family harmony is most important. We should all get along. I believe they have their own plans and can find other jobs.”
“Seraphina, you are too….”
Before her mother could finish her sentence, Andrew stormed out of the living room without looking back.
Andrew could see Seraphina’s ambitions and greed, and his mother’s attitude deeply disappointed him.
If his mother could withstand the shock, he would have exposed the truth long ago. He wouldn’t have endured this for so long.
His mother’s actions were inviting trouble. she was being manipulated by Seraphina and unknowingly counting the money on her behalf.
Even if his mother was a shareholder, he would not succumb to her unreasonable fuss. He certainly wouldn’t hand over the Jenkins Group to Seraphina.
“Look, he’s bewitched! It’s infuriating!”
Mrs. Jenkins quivered with rage. Seraphina consoled her, “Mother, calm down. By defending Hannah and George, you are pushing Andrew against me. He will think I am sowing discord and instigating. Please, don’t stand up for Hannah and George anymore to avoid Andrew disliking them.”
“Don’t worry, if Andrew doesn’t cherish them, I will. As long as I’m here, they won’t be bullied. Everything of the Jenkins family belongs to them.”
“But….
“Seraphina, don’t say any more, I know what I’m doing.”
Seraphina looked at her mother-in-law in silence.
Seraphina raised her eyebrows slightly, a smirk hidden in her cunning eyes.
As long as Hannah and George could enter the Jenkins Group, she would have achieved half of her goal.
Even if Olivia came to compete again, she could only watch helplessly.
As Olivia was about to draft a play, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her grandma.
After hesitating for a moment, Olivia answered.
Before Olivia could respond, she heard her grandma cursing her over the phone, calling her a menace, a little witch…..
Olivia listened patiently.
After listening, Olivia smiled faintly and replied indifferently, “Grandma, did you call me just to scold me? The last time, I treated you to black beans, you didn’t find it enough, didn’t you?”
Mrs. Jenkins glared darkly, chastising Olivia, “What have you been feeding your father? You’ve turned our home from peace to chaos, you little witch, I underestimated you.”
“Enough of your chatter. Tonight, make sure you convince your father to return. Everything of the Jenkins family, don’t think you can take away. Cough up the $300 million in betrothal money. Your brother needs to buy a wedding house.”
Olivia found it hilariously ridiculous, a sneer of contempt flashed in her eyes,
“House turned into a mess? Grandma, I’ve never underestimated you and Seraphina. If given a foothold, you two could even move the earth.” Daniel was eating porridge when he suddenly burst out laughing..
