Pfftâ¦Olivia Jenkins chuckled.
Oliviaâs eyes sparkled with disdain and mockery as she stared at Daniel Marshall. âYour words are beautiful, so beautiful that I could almost be under an illusion,â she said.
âYou just have to play the part of Mrs. Marshall, and youâll have everything that Mrs. Marshall should have!â Danielâs baritone voice was laced with temptation.
Olivia locked eyes with Daniel.
His handsome face, chiseled as if crafted by divine hands, never gave away his thoughts.
Oliviaâs eyes contracted for a moment, shrouding her swirling emotions in silence.
Did such good luck really exist?
Would Daniel really give her two billion without any condition?
On what grounds?
Wasnât he asking for any price in return?
Their marital bond wasnât that deep!
Who knew what calculations were hidden behind this?
After all, two billion was a significant sum of money. How could he hand it over just like that? Even a painted-pie (an enticing promise) needs a valid source, right?
In Danielâs deep, unfathomable eyes flickered some inexplicable emotion. âYou still donât believe me? Then you should at least believe your father. He was the one who approached me about our marriage arrangement.â
Olivia widened her eyes in surprise, staring at Daniel. âMy father approached you first?â
Daniel slightly pursed his lips and nodded.
In an pressing tone, Olivia questioned, âWhy did you marry me? What value do I have to you?â
Danielâs face softened somewhat as he earnestly replied, âI merely followed the guidance of fate. I had no other intentions. Even if you donât believe it, there is nothing I can do.â
Heâs probably just talking nonsense, who doesnât know that Daniel Marshall is full of cunning schemes!
Fate?
Olivia scoffed.
Olivia gave Daniel a cold, merciless stare.
Could the sweet, beautiful, and gentle straight-haired woman be a ghost?
If a manâs sweet talk could be trusted, then pigs might fly!
Even though she had serious issues with Daniel, Olivia didnât burn the bridge, âI need time to think. Also, you have to compensate me for my dress first.â Daniel coldly glanced at the dress he had torn to shreds.
His gravelly voice, slow speaking pace, was filled with threat, âIf I ever see you in this kind of dress again, I wonât hesitate to tear it.â
âStop talking rubbish and compensate me for my dress first.â âIâll compensate for your dress and then, are you going to run away?â Olivia blinked, without retort.
Of course she wanted to escape. She detested being with Daniel.
Out of the blue, Daniel draped his suit coat over Olivia, even fastening the buttons.
Just like that?
Itâs over?
How was she going to walk out the door?
With disbelief coursing through her, Olivia blinked her eyes, stunned into silence.
In a flash, Daniel lifted up Olivia and strode further into the dressing room.
Turns out, there was another door in the back.
Once they stepped out, Danielâs Rolls-Royce was already waiting by the entrance. Daniel managed to hold onto Olivia and help her into the car while flawlessly evading the attention of everyone at the charity gala.
Daniel also got into the car, with Olivia coldly glaring at him.
âYouâre leaving too? Isnât this your event tonight?â
âIâve never particularly cared for these events, just my being present and quietly witnessing your tango performance is quite generous of me,â he said.
Danielâs eyes stared intensely at Olivia.
Instinctively, Olivia clutched the suit jacket wrapped around her.
Unexpectedly, anxiety washed over Olivia, causing her almond eyes to flicker with worry.
âWith such a grand charity gala, your donation of only ten million is quite stingy. Maybeâ¦you should stay at the venue and donate a bit more.â
âYou donât need to worry about the donations. Even if Iâm not present, the person in charge of Marshall Corporationâs charity foundation will take care of it. Also, Iâve already ordered Marshall Corporation to donate 300 million to tonightâs charity event,â said Daniel.
Daniel squinted his eyes, his enticing smile playing on his lips as he leaned closer to Olivia..
