Michael Marshall’s gaze was sharp, “Olivia Jenkins, may you be consoled at your loss!”
Gently fluttering her long eyelashes, Olivia exchanged glances with her father-in-law, “Thank you, Dad!”
“I heard about the Jenkins Group. You should already know some things. I’m telling you so there will be no misunderstanding.”
Olivia looked at the documents that her father-in-law had given her and recognized her father’s handwriting under the agreement.
It was another prenuptial agreement, with insults embedded in every term. Olivia was angry after reading it; she never thought her father could endure such humiliation and demands.
Her eyes turned red, tears falling soundlessly.
Michael Marshall’s face didn’t change a bit, his gaze focused on Olivia relentlessly.
His voice was calm, yet it pierced Olivia’s heart like a sharp weapon.
“Jenkins Group cannot do business with Marshall Corporation, let alone use Marshall Corporation’s reputation to develop its business. Jenkins Group should develop independently and should not seek any help from Marshall Corporation. Take care of it yourself and continue to observe the prenuptial agreement on behalf of your father.”
Coldness crept over Olivia’s face, “Does Daniel know about this prenuptial agreement?”
“Yes.”
“Is Marshall Corporation going to acquire Jenkins Group?”
“No comment!”
Olivia’s gloomy eyes held her father-in-law’s gaze, her voice hoarse and cold, “I will certainly abide by the prenuptial agreement and will not cause any trouble for Marshall Corporation and the Marshall family.”
The obituary issued in Olivia’s name did not list Daniel’s name.
For two days, Olivia didn’t return to the villa by Pearl Lake; she stayed in the house her father had bought for her.
Growing tired of looking at account books, she flipped through old photo albums over and over again.
Whenever she saw a photograph of her, her father and mother together, she would cry, her eyes swollen from the tears.
At her father’s funeral, only Daniel from the Marshall Family had shown up.
Their relationship was colder than ice!
Once the funeral was over, Daniel and Adam Howard left without exchanging any words with Olivia.
Mrs. Jenkins was devastated by her sons’ death – white hair sending off black hair.
Even sitting, she was shaky and needed someone’s support.
Mrs. Jenkins’ face was haggard and pale; she seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
In the presence of Martin Wallace, Lawyer Hall read the will in the Jenkins family’s living room.
Apart from the Shallow Bay Villa and cash, and a portion of the savings that belonged to Mrs. Jenkins, all other assets – the remaining 62% of the stocks in Jenkins Group, deposits, jewelry entrusted to the bank, real estate and other properties under Andrew Jenkins’ name, treasury bonds and funds, were all inherited by Olivia.
Seraphina and her two children received nothing.
Unwilling to accept this, both Mrs. Jenkins and Seraphina and her two children questioned the authenticity of the will.
Having listened to the contents of the will, Olivia was startled and at a loss for words.
At that moment, Olivia realized that her father truly loved her and had done many things for her.
Deeply blaming herself, Olivia regretted not having a meal with her father.
She was upset with herself for not calling him dad after marriage and for hurting his heart.
Mrs. Jenkins could hardly keep her balance as she sat, pointing at Olivia and cursing, “You wicked woman, you bring bad luck! Get out of Jenkins family and don’t even think about taking a penny!”
Martin Wallace retorted: “The will is valid and legal. Please respect Mr. Andrew Jenkins’ will. ”
Seraphina remained silent, letting Mrs. Jenkins vent her spleen: “I do not accept this will.”
Lawyer Hall said, “A court dispute would not look good.”
Mrs. Jenkins insisted: “We must go to court. I will never let this disgraceful girl take everything from the Jenkins family..”
