Chapter 709: 709: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

A wave of sweet warmth surged through Olivia Jenkins’ heart, and her sweet smile deepened. “Dear, rest easy and do your own thing. I’ll report to you about my safety every day,” she said.

With a slight curve on his sexy thin lips, Daniel Marshall delivered a light smile, “Good! Honey, give me a kiss!”

Daniel was being too cheesy and it made Olivia blush. A hint of shyness crossed her face, “Wait till you come back, I’ll give you plenty.”

“I’m not kidding, I’m serious!” he insisted.

“Yeah, yeah, even pearls aren’t this real!”

All of a sudden, Daniel’s expression became serious and he said earnestly, “Just hearing your voice makes it hard for me to hang up.”

After pondering for a few seconds, Olivia said, “If you want me to lull you to sleep, give me a call, I can tell you a story.”

“Honey, I just really, really love you!”

“Dear, I love you too! Alright, I’m hanging up now, I’m busy.”

“Alright, bye honey!”

Her voice was very tender and pleasant to the ear, “Muah!”

Even though he had hung up, a smile remained on Daniel’s lips.

Hearing Olivia’s voice and thinking about her cleared away his worries and anxieties. It even brought some comfort and a sweet warmth to his heart.

Once things have settled down and he had taken care of Bella Thompson, he would definitely take Olivia to see his mother.

He vowed to tell his mother that Olivia was the woman he had chosen for the rest of his life.

By then, he hoped his mother would acknowledge him and accept them together.

…

At the end of the work day, Lily Lee called Grace Ziegler.

“Little Grace, are you free? I’d like to invite you out for a meal.”

Grace had just left the airport and was about to take the airport express back to Binzhou when she received Lily’s call. Grace was taken by surprise.

Remembering the words and photos Chief Daniel Marshall had shown her that morning and the suspicions that had been raised, Grace felt a sense of caution. She decided to protect herself and lied, “I’m sorry, Lily. I’m busy and have lots of things to do. Let’s do it another day. I’ll treat you.”

After hesitating for two seconds, Lily casually replied, “Okay, let’s make the plans another day.”

Grace had hung up, but Lily was still carefully recalling the noise in the background of Grace’s call.

It seemed rather noisy on Grace’s end, like there were a lot of people.

From the conversation, Lily could tell that Grace was not as enthusiastic as she had been when they first met yesterday.

She must have become guarded against her.

It’s no wonder Grace was chosen as a puppet. Not only is she ambitious, but she’s also quite clever!

A mysterious smile appeared on Lily’s face, her beautiful eyes flashing a cunning glint.

Without hesitation, Lily immediately made an international call, “From Grace’s reaction, it seems Daniel Marshall has spoken with her. The fish has taken the bait and our plan is working.”

“Just proceed with the plan as usual, our goal is to get Grace into the chairman’s assistant’s office. Don’t worry about anything else, just take it as it comes.”

“Roger that.” As soon as she finished speaking, Lily hung up.

…

Abigail Anderson requested a meal meet-up, and both Olivia Jenkins and Valerie Howard showed up.

Right as they met, Abigail wrapped her arms around Olivia, crying.

Olivia also lightly hugged Abigail, comforting her in a soft voice, “Abigail, don’t worry, we’re on your side and will help you. If Jordan Bennett has been making things difficult for you, we’ll confront him right away.”

Abigail’s emotions did not get better, instead she cried even harder, “Olivia, this time, you can’t help me. Even if you scold Jordan Bennett to death, it wouldn’t be of any use. Why am I so unfortunate!”
