Chapter 656: Wisdom Comes with Sorrows

“Grandma, he and I are planning to…”

Before Olivia Jenkins could finish saying the word ‘separation’, Mrs. Jenkins cut her off, “Think seriously about what I said, listen to your heart. There’s no standard answer in marriage. I said the same thing to Daniel Marshall.”

“Grandma, you don’t need to persuade me anymore.” Olivia Jenkins said, displeased, as she took a sip of tea to calm herself down.

Mrs. Jenkins continued to stare at Olivia Jenkins, “Do you think Daniel is entirely at fault? Ask your conscience, doesn’t he have any qualities worth holding onto? Have things between you reached an irreversible point? Olivia, don’t be rash!”

“…”

“If you could let him go so easily, why would you be drinking xiaoqing mandarin tea? Instinct never lies!”

“…”

“You might be tenacious, but that doesn’t mean you’re right. The more complicated your emotions, the harder it becomes to make the right judgment. I don’t know the details of your disputes, but just like I mentioned, there are two sides to everything. Blaming Daniel all by himself isn’t right.”

“…”

“I don’t know what Daniel did to upset you, but I think he cares about you genuinely, which means he’s not a bad guy. In fact, except for taking care of his grandfather, I’ve never seen you do anything for him.”

Leaf Fiona is his employee, and so are the bodyguards at home, right? Isn’t everything related to Daniel? Including the people keeping an eye on Hannah and George Jenkins overseas, they’re all Daniel’s people. Isn’t that enough?

Could the Jenkins Group be operated as usual without his support? Would those shareholders stop causing problems for you? The peace you have right now is all thanks to Daniel.”

“Are you ready to go down the thorny path again, just for the momentary satisfaction? Do you think you’ll still be as lucky as before? Olivia, this is life, isn’t it obvious?”

Olivia Jenkins couldn’t refute anything and chose to remain silent.

With Jenkins Group’s development in mind, she didn’t mention divorce immediately but suggested separation.

Simon Howard accused her of having ulterior motives, which were partly true.

She admitted that she couldn’t cut ties with Daniel or the Marshall Family immediately. With her current power, she couldn’t handle the Jenkins Group alone.

Simon Howard called her a gold-digger, maybe she was, she’d rather sacrifice love than her career.

No matter the circumstances, she had to protect the Jenkins Group and utilize every resource she could.

She became Mrs. Olivia Marshall willingly to secure the interest of the Jenkins Group, Daniel knew her intent, she hadn’t deceived anyone, technically, this shouldn’t make her a villain.

However, some things were out of her control, like her heart!

But she knew how to handle it; she just needed to bear with the pain for some time.

There’s nothing she couldn’t overcome as long as she gritted her teeth and moved forward.

She fell into silence once again—

Suddenly, Mrs. Jenkins stood up and patted Olivia’s shoulder, “I still hope you reconsider, don’t be so stubborn. Wisdom hurts when taken to the extreme, I hope you understand what it means. I won’t bother you anymore. Leaf Fiona and I will be leaving.”

Olivia got up to bid her grandmother goodbye, but she didn’t argue anymore.

…

Daniel Marshall didn’t have a fever anymore, so he took a chest scan in the afternoon.

After reviewing the results, the chief confirmed that his pneumonia had significantly improved. He would receive another IV of medicine in the morning and could be discharged by the afternoon.

Daniel called Olivia, but she didn’t pick up, so he texted her instead.

Daniel still hoped to have a frank discussion with Olivia.
