Olivia Jenkins arrived at room 818, but the Credit Manager of Continental Bank had already left.
I heard someone came to pick him up.
Olivia scrambles to make a phone call to the Credit Manager, but he doesnât answer.
Olivia is starting to panic, frowning deeply.
In fact, the groupâs account has run out of money, severely impacting regular operations.
Add to that, the pre-litigation preservation of property makes her fatherâs inheritance untouchable, which just adds fuel to the fire for the group.
Olivia has already put up her new home for sale, even considering dropping the price.
No matter what, she has to weather this storm.
The elevator arrives, the door opens, and Olivia bumps into Benjamin Johnson again to her surprise.
Olivia smiles, âWhat a coincidence!â
Benjamin has a slight smile on his face as he looks at Olivia, âIndeed! Are you leaving so soon?â
âA friendâs birthday, I just came upstairs to say hello, had a few drinks. I donât like crowded places, so, Iâm leaving early.â
Oliviaâs almond-shaped eyes shine brightly, âIf you donât mind, Iâd like to treat you to Serene Cityâs dumplings. Theyâre delicious, I donât know if youâve tried them before? You just came back from abroad, right?â
Thereâs a hint of amusement in Benjaminâs sharp eyes, âYou guessed correctly, I just arrived in Serene City today. Iâve had Serene Cityâs dumplings before, but itâs been a few years since I last ate them, and a few years since I last visited Serene City.â
âThen letâs go and have some together. Thanks for your help in the parking lot.â
Benjamin nods his head, âItâs not safe for a girl to go to places like that at night. Some guys get a little wild when theyâre drunk, you need to be careful.â
âI rarely come to a KTV, but I came tonight to settle some matters. I couldnât find the person I was looking for, but I bumped into you instead.â
Benjamin doesnât say anything, just deepens his smile.
He and Olivia go to a traditional dumpling shop in Serene City, each ordering a bowl of meat dumplings.
Olivia and Benjamin chat a lot, but they donât discuss financing.
In the meantime, Daniel Marshall calls.
Olivia doesnât answer, nor does she return Danielâs call.
Itâs midnight, and Olivia finally returns to her villa by the Pearl Lake.
The living room lights are still on, the smell of heavy smoke pervades the air.
Olivia nonchalantly changes her shoes, heads straight up the stairs, acting as if she didnât see Daniel sitting in the living room, still smoking.
She doesnât care how many cigarettes heâs smoked.
Danielâs cold gaze follows Olivia, his sensual lips barely open, his voice is indifferent and frosty, âStop!â
Olivia halts, tilts her head, and calmly looks at Daniel, âWhatâs up?
âRemember your current identity, Mrs. Olivia Marshall!â Danielâs eyes struck by a chill that could almost kill.
Olivia looks disdainful, âAre you having another fucking fit tonight?â
Daniel gets up and walks towards Olivia.
His face grows extremely dark.
Oliviaâs expression doesnât change as she unflinchingly locks eyes with Daniel, âYouâre walking pretty well, the cast should be coming off soon, congratulations!â
Danielâs sensual lips part slightly and the lingering smoke from his cigarette sprays onto Oliviaâs face, âWhy didnât you answer my call?â
Irritated by the smoke, Olivia frowns and coldly glares at Daniel, âNot interested in hearing from you, moreover, sensitive to your voice.â
Danielâs eyes burn with fury as he warns sternly, âNext time, if you dare not answer my call, Iâll strangle you.â
âYou love the sea, no wonder you love to poke your nose into everything!â Olivia rolls her eyes at him; her expression is somewhat mocking.
Danielâs eyebrow twitches in annoyance, a sharp edge passing over his cold
handsome face, âDo you really see yourself as so irresistible? An incredibly foolish woman!â
