He Clings to Me Every Nigh
Translator: 549690339
Lawyer Mitchellâs face turned ashen, at a loss for words.
The secretary asked him to leave, and he had no choice but to oblige, completely losing his previous confidence.
He took this divorce case only because of the high fees.
He knew it would be challenging before he took it, but he didnât want to miss out on the money.
Despite the insult, he would still try to force Miss Olivia Jenkins to agree to the divorce.
Hannah Jenkins was furious when she couldnât reach Geoffrey Gullington last night, who had the audacity to turn his phone off.
Seeing Geoffrey Gullington come home to check on her grandmother, Hannah nearly dragged him out of the house.
âSo, you hope to eat out of two bowls at once? Geoffrey Gullington, donât think that I wouldnât dare kill you!â
Ignoring Hannahâs fierce glare, Geoffrey tightly embraced her, softly soothing, âCalm down, itâs not as it seems. Thereâs no rekindled flame between Olivia and me; the mediaâs making it up. My contact with Olivia is intended to gain her trust so I can be your inside man. If we can collaborate, it would be much easier for you to deal with her.â
Annoyed, Hannah shrugged off Geoffreyâs embrace.
Then she disdainfully snorted, âStop playing games. The fact that youâre able to stay in Serene City is my doing. If I wanted, you could never step foot in this city again, and would be worse off than a beggar. Geoffrey Gullington, you better wise up and not test my bottom line.â
Geoffrey was annoyed, but he hid it well.
He squinted at Hannah, harboring deep hatred for her in his heart.
He knew that the Jenkins Family never treated him as an equal, just a tool to be used. He also understood that he relied on their influence to settle in Serene City, and so, he had been enduring their treatment.
As soon as he was stable, he would make them regret it, especially the bitch in front of him who was always yelling at him.
With a fake serious expression, Geoffrey feigned weakness, soothing, âHannah, youâre the only one in my heart. I dare not think otherwise. Trust me, Iâm just trying to do whatâs best for you. I can do anything for you.â
If not for his usefulness, Hannah really didnât want to see him. She snapped impatiently, âFine, enough with your sweet talk. If you dare turn off your phone or ignore my calls again, just vanish forever and stop relying on the Jenkins Family.â
Frustration boiling within, Geoffrey had to pretend to be obedient and not retaliate or go against Hannahâs will.
Hannah handed Geoffrey a car key, pointing at a common small car parked in the yard, âI got you a car to make it easy for you to come and take care of my grandma. If you dare to betray me, I wonât let you off, and everything Iâve given will be taken back.â
Geoffrey took the car key, squeezing out a smile and gently gazed at Hannah, âI only live for you, Hannah, youâre my everything. Youâre my last woman, Iâll never betray you.â
âQuit trying to act cute, go check on my Grandma, her health hasnât been great.â
Squashing all emotions, Geoffrey entered the Jenkinsâ house again.
Inside, he still harbored immense hatred for the Jenkins Family.
He would never forget how they ruined his life, causing his downfall. Andrew Jenkinsâ death was no loss at all.
To better understand and grasp the groupâs business affairs, Olivia herself went to the groupâs robotic base.
Christian Ziegler, the technical expert, and Chief Engineer, patiently explained the situation of the base to Olivia.
Olivia also noticed the difficulties faced by the robot project and research center.
Without further financial input, many projects would have to be halted.
After the meeting, Olivia was in a hurry to return to the group headquarters.
In the baseâs parking lot, out of nowhere, Olivia was dragged into a commercial vehicle by several men..
