âHahahaâ¦hahaha⦠dear little brother-in-law, youâre too funny!â
Olivia Jenkinsâs laughter was wild, her eyes were narrowed into slits from the mirth, but they still pinned Matthew Marshall with a sharp gaze.
âLittle brother-in-law, excuse me, I just find this too funny, I canât control myself. If it was your brother who said this to me, I might believe that there is a slight possibility, but you⦠I canât quite believe!â
Matthew wasnât affected by Oliviaâs mocking laughter. A faint smile hovered on his lips as he looked at her.
âSister-in-law, you find this amusing because you donât know me. Actually, I quite want to help you. I also have another objective, which is to discuss business. â
Hit the nail on the head! This is a business proposition. Olivia would never believe that Matthew was genuinely offering to help her!
Given her discord with Bella Thompson and the stack of problems concerning the Marshall Family, including the previous conflict between Matthew and Daniel for the position of CEO, there were no special favors to be expected.
Olivia, the sharpness flickering in her eyes, scrutinized Matthew closely. âYou mustâve heard the rumors. Jenkins Group is currently running a loss of two billion. When do you think it can turn profitable?â Conditions for going public require three consecutive years of profitability. Youâre not just painting a rosy picture for me, are you? Who knows what will happen three years later?â
âIâve thought of multiple solutions. Those issues that youâre worried about, Iâve thought through them carefully. None of them can stop Jenkins Group from going public. Sister-in-law, are you interested in learning more? Now, itâs time for dinner. Let me invite you for a meal and we can chat in detail.â
Without any hesitation, Olivia gave a small nod of agreement. A cunning smile curved her lips, âOkay!â
Marshall Corporation, CEOâs office.
Adam Howard knocked and walked in, settling himself opposite Daniel Marshall, looking at him with interest.
âThere are two pieces of news, which one do you want to hear first?â
Daniel looked up, casting a cold glance at Adam, âCut the crap!â
Pressing his lips together, Adam said, âOne is about your sister-in-law, the other is about Benjamin Johnson.â
Danielâs eyes darkened, his handsome face still as cold as ice.
Facing such a boss, Adam shivered involuntarily.
It seemed that the previous meal hadnât set off sparks between his boss and sister-in-law. So, his boss was still like an impenetrable iceberg.
Adam tactfully held his tongue and reported on the sister-in-law first.
âMatthew visited your sister-in-law at Jenkins Group. She also went with him to the Eight Treasures Building for a meal. They left about two hours later.â
Daniel didnât say anything. His dark eyes darkened further, his face sharp as a blade.
Adam paused, looking at his boss before continuing, âBenjamin Johnson has returned to Serene City. The first person he met was Xiang Fu, and they went to dinner together.â
âYou can get out.â
After a moment of silence, Adam obediently left.
Immediately, Daniel called Olivia.
âCome with me to the hospital to get the cast removed right away.â
Olivia picked up on the icy coldness in Danielâs tone, a tone that allowed no refusal, as if it were a command she must execute. Feeling uncomfortable, Olivia replied in an equally cold tone, âIâm busy!â
âMeet me downstairs in twenty minutes. Iâll pick you up.â
Suddenly, Oliviaâs phone went silent. Daniel had hung up.
Irritated, Olivia muttered under her breath, âBastard! You think youâre the emperor or something? You must think that youâre some kind of precious antique!â
She let out a cold huff and rolled her eyes.
Well, she wasnât going!
When the time came, Danielâs Rolls-Royce pulled up outside her building.
He called Olivia again.
âMrs.. Marshall, if you donât come down soon, Iâll come up and carry you out!â
