Not long after Olivia Jenkins left, Jay Bennett walked in holding a gift, a rather astonishing coincidence.
Seeing Jay, Daniel Marshallâs heart twisted involuntarily, and his striking handsome brow furrowed.
âJay, did you come by yourself? I appreciate you coming to visit me, thereâs no need to buy so many gifts.â
Jay Bennett responded with a faint smile, âA friend accompanied me, but he got busy, so he didnât come up.â
A friend?
The first person Daniel thought of was Benjamin Johnson.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was a picture sent by his subordinates of Olivia Jenkins meeting Benjamin Johnson in the parking lot.
Suddenly, Daniel understood.
Seeing Daniel Marshall silent, Jay Bennett looked at him carefully, tentatively asking, âDaniel, whatâs wrong? Are your injuries severe?â
Daniel put his phone down, nonchalantly raised his head to look at Jay, âThe doctor wants me to stay in the hospital for observation. I need to stay in bed for a few days. Jay, do I know this friend of yours?â
Jay Bennett side-stepped Danielâs sharp inquiry.
After a moment of hesitation, she nodded, âBenjamin Davis told me, he also came with me to visit you. I know you guys donât have the best relationship, I was worried he might upset you, so, I didnât ask him to come up.â
Danielâs expression became somber, flickers of rage dancing subtly in his penetrating gaze.
Damn it, Benjamin Johnson is using Jay again, he is truly a monster!
Daniel had guessed it right, Benjamin Johnson must have meddled with Olivia Jenkins again, he deserves to be beaten!
Bella Thompson is overstepping her bounds, colluding with Benjamin Johnson to deal with him. Not only is she malicious, but sheâs also wickedly thoughtless, he needs to kick this woman out of the Marshall household.
Seeing Danielâs lips pressed tightly together, Jay Bennett also felt a bit scared of Daniel in this state. She slightly lowered her eyelids.
âDaniel, did I make you angry?â
âNo, youâre overthinking things. Jay, youâre very innocent, Iâm worried youâll get hurt. Some people may put up a good front but harbour ill intentions. Be careful.â
âAre you worried about Benjamin Johnson hurting me? He shouldnât, heâs pretty nice to me! You guys⦠have a deep misunderstanding. Youâve been unwilling to resolve it. My sister has been gone many years now, I think she would also hate to see you guys aggressively competing like this.â
With her naiVe and innocent face, Daniel didnât have the heart to reveal Benjamin Johnsonâs ugly face to her, fearing it would disgust Jay.
âBenjamin Johnson is very deep, sometimes his actions can be extreme. You think heâs kind because you havenât really gotten to know him. I just hope he genuinely cares for you, and isnât shamelessly using you to take revenge on me.â
Jay Bennett pursed her lips, slightly nodding.
Actually, she wasnât willing to think too deeply, afraid she wouldnât be able to bear the outcome.
Daniel picked up his phone, found a picture of Olivia, and showed it to Jay,
âThis is Olivia Jenkins, my wife, she was just here. She also knows Benjamin Johnson, he has approached her.â
Looking at the picture of the beautiful and confident woman, Jay Bennett was so startled, her eyes widened.
âIâve met her before.â
Benjamin Johnson must have known she was Danielâs wife, but he chose to deceive her.
This woman and Daniel really do match well. Does Daniel also love her?
Has Daniel already forgotten my sister?
Pity my sister passed away so long ago, otherwise, all this happiness wouldâve been hers.
Everything that belongs to my sister has been replaced. Subconsciously, Jay Bennett felt a wave of suffocation mixed with an array of feelings.
Although she hoped for a compassionate woman to love Daniel and take care of him, finding out his wife was that beautiful woman made Jay feel indescribably choked up.
Why her?
Why such a coincidence?
Why not someone else?
