Chapter 823: You’re Not Worthy of Her

In the past, Olivia Jenkins mentioned things she enjoyed, and Daniel Marshall had tried them all at least once at the night market.

“Simon Howard, try this, it’s really good!”

Simon Howard ate it only so that his boss would feel a little happier.

They were thirsty, and it was perfect for drinking some warm pear soup.

Hesitating for a moment, Simon Howard consoled, “If you come a few more times, I’m sure you’ll bump into her eventually. I remember Sister-in-law likes to come here for snacks, and there are many late-night food stalls around.”

While eating candied chestnuts, Daniel remained silent; he knew Simon Howard was trying to comfort him.

Actually, taking a walk had lightened his mood quite a bit.

…

Daniel had thought Olivia would certainly attend the highway inauguration ceremony in Harmony Village, but to his surprise, he saw only Valerie Howard representing Jenkins Group there.

And accompanying Valerie was none other than Benjamin Johnson.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony finished, and they had taken a group photo, Benjamin Johnson walked over to Daniel and asked in a low voice, “Feeling pretty disappointed, aren’t you? Daniel Marshall, you’ve finally met your match. To tell you the truth, seeing you like this makes me quite happy—it’s what you deserve!”

Daniel’s lips were tightly pursed, his eyes deep and unfazed as he disregarded Benjamin.@@novelbin@@

Suddenly, Simon Howard grabbed Benjamin’s collar, really wanting to hit him.

In that instant, Daniel spoke up coldly, “Simon Howard, let’s go. Don’t stoop to the level of scum, it’s bad luck!”

With a whoosh, Simon Howard let go, giving Benjamin a particularly icy and menacing glare.

Benjamin smiled indifferently, his eyes sparkling with a provocative gleam, “If you can’t love Olivia Jenkins deeply, if you’re not good enough for her, please let her go. She’s not your property, and you’re not worthy of her.”

Simon Howard was seething with anger, but Daniel pulled him back, his piercing gaze warning Simon not to act rashly.

There were many media reporters on the scene, and creating a scene would not look good and would only benefit Benjamin, not them. Even though Daniel really wanted to kill Benjamin, he was restraining himself.

“Let’s go. There’ll be a chance to deal with him later. Even a toad lusts after a swan’s flesh, but that’s just delusional. No matter how you look at it, he’s not worthy!”

Benjamin’s smile deepened as he continued to provoke Daniel, “Let’s wait and see. It seems you’re not having a good time either, not doing so well.”

A nearly imperceptible flicker crossed Daniel’s dark eyes, but his beautifully sculpted face remained expressionless, betraying nothing of his inner thoughts.

Daniel walked away without looking back, without acknowledging Benjamin.

Valerie Howard watched on the side, naturally catching the thick scent of gunpowder in the air.

Valerie felt that recently, the relationship between Daniel and Olivia seemed as cold as ice; perhaps there was another conflict between them.

Valerie didn’t ask Olivia about it, as it wasn’t her place to get involved. As long as Olivia was happy, that’s what mattered to Valerie, and she knew Olivia would naturally handle it well.

With Mr. Johnson stirring things up like this, Valerie didn’t think highly of his chances; it was clear that Olivia saw him only as a friend.

Watching Valerie, Benjamin Johnson approached, “How’s Olivia Jenkins doing recently? Why didn’t she come?”

Valerie replied amiably, “She’s doing really well! There’s a lot of corporate business, and she can’t find the time, which is normal. With the end of the year approaching, there are many plans for next year to be made. Sister Olivia isn’t as idle as Mr. Johnson.”

Benjamin pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

He had probed and found out that Daniel was unaware of any changes in Olivia’s behavior, and Valerie didn’t know either.

Possibly, Olivia was intentionally keeping everyone in the dark.

In Beverly Hills, the old master was feeding the goldfish when his personal assistant hurried over.

The old master had Aria Douglas step back before the personal assistant reported.
