Olivia Jenkins’ expression was indifferent, an air of cool arrogance flittering across the corners of her lips.

“Just nonsense from a moment of desperation, you shouldn’t take it to heart”

“Am I to understand that it’s a given for Mrs. Olivia Marshall to take advantage of me? Are you implying that you want to bear me a child?” Daniel Marshall asked, the corner of his mouth twitching upwards, an ambiguous smirk on his face.

His gaze didn’t waver, still deeply focussed on Olivia Jenkins.

Olivia Jenkins’ bright eyes flickered as she shrugged nonchalantly, “I have no intentions of bearing your child nor do I have any such thoughts. You refuse to divorce yet you won’t allow me to mention the name ‘Daniel’, isn’t that a bit barbaric?”

“Be it good or bad, you’re the one who has the final say. What else can I say?” Scornfully looking at Daniel Marshall, Olivia Jenkins retorted,

You could sue me, I didn’t stop you, neither did I prevent you from setting the record straight.”

With a soft chuckle, Daniel Marshall said, “I understand now, if Mrs. Marshall wishes to use me, I have no room for protest.”

Rolling her eyes, Olivia Jenkins contemptuously asked, “Isn’t Martin Wallace coming? Didn’t you invite him for dinner?”

Daniel Marshall casually lifted an eyebrow and said indifferently, “Whether he comes or not, what, does it have to do with me?”

Glaring at Daniel Marshall, Olivia Jenkins asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Being hungry, Olivia Jenkins didn’t want to waste time in useless chatter.

Daniel Marshall didn’t intend to leave, he had already prepared himself to have this meal.

At Eight Treasures Building, Martin Wallace and Adam Howard were dining in a private room.

Each of them ate two large abalone, the type which cost over thirty thousand each.

There was also a Boston lobster and roe crab.

They spared nothing, even eating rice with the abalone sauce.

Martin Wallace joked, “Just order whatever you want to eat. After all, we’re not footing the bill. The boss is rich, no need for us to save on his account.”

Adam Howard burst into laughter until his eyes became slits, “This free meal is certainly worthwhile! Let’s order three jin of Pipi Shrimp, the roe-laden kind, cooked in salt and pepper. And also a wild Yellow Croaker to be steamed.”

Adding to the conversation, Martin Wallace said, “I’ll have the attendant place the order right away.”

Adam Howard while savouring the roe crab said, “I hope for such good things to happen more frequently. Sister-in-law is both beautiful and strong. She and the boss actually make a good match. In any case, I appreciate my sister-in-law.”

“Yeah, Olivia Jenkins has a very distinctive personality, she has the boss completely wrapped around her finger. It’s like she’s deliberately trying to seduce him! I heard from a returnee that she had given Seraphina such a thrashing that Seraphina didn’t dare to say a word.

She called me asking for a discreet bodyguard in exchange for a substantial fee.

I immediately agreed and even transferred one of the boss’s men to her. Luckily, I didn’t get scolded and got a feast as well.”

“If I recall correctly, it’s the first time the boss and sister-in-law are dining alone. It could be considered as a date, right?”

“Who knows! The boss is unpredictable, who knows what he is thinking? I surely do not like playing guessing games with him!”

“When I heard others probing me for information, asking if sister-in-law is really pregnant, my first thought was anticipation, hoping it to be true.”

Martin Wallace, with an utterly serious face said, “From my perspective, if one doesn’t want to divorce, pregnancy truly is a great method. With it, all criticisms can be effectively silenced. Since you’re close to them, find an opportunity to subtly suggest this idea. If it works, we’ll become heroes – it won’t just be seafood, we’ll be able to eat whatever we want.”

Adam Howard laughed meaningfully, his eyes also held a trace of a smile, “Hmm, I’ll find an opportunity to subtly give them a hint.”

Olivia Jenkins was thoroughly enjoying her meal when suddenly, her phone rang.

Glancing at her phone, Olivia Jenkins saw a picture message from Thompson. It was a picture of Daniel Marshall with a strikingly beautiful woman with long, straight hair..
