Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Strike While the Enemy is Weak
Sebastian Thompson echoed, “Exactly, we need to separate Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins. Olivia is too cunning a woman to allow her to stay in the Marshall Family and become Daniel’s helpmate, she poses too great of a threat to us.”
Thinking for a bit, Sebastian Thompson added, “Based on my observations for the past couple of days, there seems to be a conflict between Daniel and Olivia.”
Bella Thompson’s smile deepened, her eyes cold and somber, “Feeding into their conflict, tearing apart their relationship. The longer their discord lasts, the better it is for us. This is the perfect time for another woman to seize the opportunity.”
Sebastian’s cunning smile rose, “Sis, I get it, I know what to do.”
“Sebastian, this will be hard on you. Remember to be cautious, don’t expose yourself prematurely, don’t let Daniel catch a hint. We only have this one chance, we must seize it.”
“Sis, don’t worry, I won’t mess up. We will succeed.”
…
Day broke, and the rain had stopped.
Daniel Marshall was completely soaked, his hair and the hem of his suit were all dripping with water.
His once shiny shoes were also soaked through, now a pond in their own right.
Daniel’s face looked pale, his hands were turning white from prolonged exposure to the cold. He felt a wave of cold wash over him like an overwhelming wave, but he didn’t leave, still waiting under Olivia’s apartment for her.
Coming out the door, Olivia saw Daniel’s state and reflexively widened her eyes.
However, Olivia only glanced at Daniel, casually walking by without any reaction, her pretty face betraying no ripple of emotion.
“Darling…”
Olivia heard Daniel’s low and hoarse voice, but she didn’t turn back.
Suddenly, Simon Howard intercepted Olivia, “You’re cold-hearted?”
Olivia calmly met Simon’s gaze, “He’s a grown man, not a three-year-old kid, does he need constant supervision? No matter what he chooses to do, it’s his personal decision, which has nothing to do with me.”
Simon frowned, displeased. His voice grew sharp, “You guys haven’t separated, not divorced yet. You’re still his wife! You just don’t know how lucky you are!”
Olivia sneered, “Is this supposed to be my blessing? Well, tell him to take it back. I don’t need it. Would you excuse me, I’m in a rush.”
“Daniel already clarified it very clearly! He and his secretary aren’t possible at… ”
“Simon, don’t stop her. Let her go!”
Interrupted, Simon looked back at Daniel, “Daniel…”
Daniel fixed a cold stare at Simon, “I told you to step aside and shut your mouth. Don’t say things you shouldn’t.”
Angered, Simon nonetheless did as he was told and stepped aside.
Olivia stepped forward arrogantly towards the multi-story parking lot, all the while stagnant with indifference.
Daniel prevented Simon from telling the truth, which frustrated him greatly, but all he could do was obey.
Daniel’s nose grew sour, his eyes ached, his sentimental gaze never straying from the retreating figure of Olivia.
The moment Olivia completely vanished from his sight, Daniel felt as if his heart had emptied out.
Suddenly, Daniel’s vision darkened, and he passed out.
…
Receiving a call from Simon, Adam Howard hurried to the ResilientCare Hospital, where he saw Daniel unconscious and on an IV drip.
Anxious, Adam asked, “How is he? What did the doctor say? Is he unconscious or just sleeping?”
Simon’s expression was solemn, “After the emergency treatment, he woke up. He’s suffering from a high fever and is quite delirious. He kept insisting on being discharged, so the nurse gave him an injection to put him to sleep. He’s still sleeping now, and the fever hasn’t gone down yet.”
