Daniel Marshallâs thin lips part slightly, and his voice is sparse and indifferent,
âThatâs your business, handle it yourself!â
Martin Wallace does not reply; there is no sound coming from his phone anymore.
Martin looks at his phone; Daniel has already ended the call.
âDid I say something wrong? What did I do wrong?â Martin mutters alone, his eyes wide in surprise.
âDid I invite this upon myself? Did I bring this difficulty on myself?â Martin shakes his head, his expression rather blank.
Going back to Jenkins Group, Olivia Jenkins is surprised to bump into Geoffrey Gullington.
Geoffrey squints and smiles at Olivia, his eyes challenging and provoking her.
In an instant, Oliviaâs face appears as if covered with a thin layer of ice. She sternly asks the receptionist, âWho let him in?â
âDr. Gullington is my personal doctor. So what, are you going to kick out even my people? Are you going to drive me out as well?â
The icy voice behind her makes Olivia turn around and look at her grandmother.
Mrs. Jenkinsâ lips are tightly pressed together and the anger on her face is evident.
She does not like Olivia. Whenever she sees her, her disgust deepens; there is no pretense of politeness.
Hannah Jenkins assists Mrs. Jenkins, a scornful smirk directed at Olivia.
The faint smile on her face oozes with contempt.
Just wait and watch, she would get to see this despicable person being driven out of Jenkins Group.
The upcoming shareholders meeting would be a difficult one for this wretched person.
The letter from her father had asked to take good care of her grandmother, to be patient with her, and not provoke her⦠Therefore, Olivia did not want a conflict with her grandmother.
Despite the storm in her eyes, Oliviaâs attitude softens a bit, âI didnât mean that, Iâm just very surprised. You used to disapprove of this man, so how come youâve allowed him to become your personal doctor? Is it because you know heâs with Hannah and youâre favoring the loved one?â
Not waiting for Mrs. Jenkins to object, Hannah swiftly scolds Olivia, âHow dare you make such accusations! You truly know no bounds. Youâre willing to do anything to claim the inheritance, itâs appalling! â
With a sharp glance at Geoffrey, Olivia retorts in a cold voice, âNo need to deny so hastily, let time reveal the truth. I find it unbelievable that you all would pick up the trash I had discarded.â
Mrs. Jenkins looks at Olivia sternly, her displeasure evident, âMy health isnât what it used to be. Hiring Dr. Gullington as my personal doctor is my decision, stop slandering Hannah. Hannah is nothing like you. She has excellent vision and doesnât favor people like him. Hannah deserves an outstanding entrepreneur.â
The smile deepens on Oliviaâs lips a bit more. Raising an eyebrow, she casts a look at Geoffrey.
Feeling incredibly annoyed, Geoffrey suppresses his anger, although some subtle changes in his expression are still visible.
Seeing through Geoffreyâs concern, Hannah signals to Geoffrey with her eyes, hinting that he should refrain from meddling.
With firm resolve, Olivia says, âGrandmother, please open your eyes and clearly see the character of those around you. Donât you know the kind of person your own son has grown up to be? Donât let your prejudice deceive you and lead to regret later. Your current actions might be inviting wolves into your home.â
Infuriated, Mrs. Jenkins rebukes, âWho do you think you are, playing at being honorable? Hand over Jenkins Group and leave!â
Oliviaâs face radiates with pride and self-confidence, standing resolute, âI respect my fatherâs last desire. I refuse to let this empire be tainted by despicable schemers. Even if I must wager all I own, I will defend it.â
With a fierce look at Hannah, Olivia walks away on her high heels, filled with pride.
Mrs. Jenkins, staggering, poking her cane in anger, âThis arrogant girl Olivia treats everyone as beneath her. She must be driven out. At the shareholders meeting soon, we must vote to remove her..â
