In an instant, Matthew Marshall was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say, his face twitching awkwardly.
He hadnât forgotten his older brotherâs warning.
Olivia Jenkins was still smiling, her eyelids slightly drooping, her expression seemingly mocking, âMatthew, Iâm going to hang up. Letâs talk some other time.â
Matthew hastily said, âSister-in -law, letâs have dinner together tonight. Iâll explain the plan to you in detail.â
âIâm not free tonight, weâll talk it over some other time.â
With that, Olivia Jenkins hung up the phone.
Olivia Jenkins cast a provocative glance at Benjamin Johnson, âArenât you curious? Itâs not about playing both sides. Usually, we would speak to several potential partners and choose the best one. Just like youâre considering the Jenkins Group and have a period to change your mind, we do too.â
Benjamin Johnsonâs expression remained placid, without a ripple of emotion.
He had anticipated all of this already. It was a battle of wits to achieve the desired outcome.
Only the fact that Daniel Marshall was willing to give Olivia Jenkins two billion
caught Benjamin Johnson off guard, he wasnât interested in the rest.
Daniel finally made a move.
âI believe Chief Jenkins will make a wise decision.â
Olivia Jenkins smiled cryptically, âHaving so much faith in me, perhaps the disappointment could be great!â
Benjamin Johnson looked at Olivia Jenkins, saying earnestly, âEven if it turns out to be a disappointment, Iâd take pleasure in losing to you.â
âPresident Johnson, youâre really funny! Thank you for valuing me so highly!
Perhaps, I can take another route, divest bad assets for an IPO (Initial Public
Offering). I could make the decision myself, without relying on anyone.â
Benjamin Johnson decisively said, âYou wonât divest the bad assets. Up till now, you havenât given up on Quiet Video. Because Quiet Video was named after your mother, it is her hard work. Likewise, your father didnât give it up either when he found out about the serious losses it was making. Thatâs exactly what Vice President Charles is exploiting.â
Olivia Jenkins clapped her hands, her deep eyes looking at Benjamin Johnson, âYou know me so well. You must know my secret title. Iâm Mrs. Marshall, secretly married!â
Benjamin Johnson hadnât anticipated that Olivia Jenkins would reveal herself. His face displayed a hint of astonishment. He watched her with great interest.
This woman was not ordinary, she had intrigued him.
A worthy adversary to encounter once in a lifetime.
There is no point keeping up pretenses now. Olivia Jenkins would not believe him anyways.
Benjamin Johnson pursed his lips, nodding, âI am aware of your identity, Mrs. Marshall!â
âJust now, I didnât lie to Matthew. My husband Daniel really is going to give me two billion. With this money, Iâll be at ease and no need to worry about finances. Perhaps, I wonât need to cooperate with any of you.â
Benjamin Johnson smirked confidently, âYouâre hesitating, which means others still have a chance. Chief Jenkins, youâre a smart woman, thereâs no need for me to spell it out.â
Olivia Jenkins smiled but didnât speak.
Everyone was on the same page, each with their own agenda.
If they pretend not to see through each other, the game can still be played. Benjamin Johnson was as enigmatic as a devil.
That evening, Olivia Jenkins went to the charity event backstage with Winona Thornton.
Seeing Olivia Jenkins in full makeup, Winona couldnât help but exclaim, âYouâre as beautiful as ever. Youâll definitely be the center of the spotlight this evening!â
Olivia Jenkins gave a slight smile, âI hope I can raise a considerable amount of money in the name of your dance center so that everyone will remember it.â âYou definitely can. Youâre absolutely amazing!â
With a light chuckle, Olivia Jenkins went to check out the dresses, ready to change.
There were several custom-made dresses prepared by the stylist. Olivia Jenkins set her eyes on a feathered black wedding dress from the collection..
