Olivia Jenkins looked sharply at Jordan Bennett
âDaniel Marshall tampered with your business, and you still speak up for him. Youâre very generous!â
Jordan Bennett gave a self-deprecating laugh, âYou donât understand Daniel Marshall. On the business battlefield, he has a fascinating charm, he is a business genius. The Bennett Group can invest in the Jenkins Group, but the resources youâll gain will be limited. In the short term, the development space for Jenkins Group would be quite minimal, thatâs why, I suggest you have some talks with Daniel.â
Olivia Jenkins didnât respond, she just kept eating.
Jordan Bennett paused for a moment, then continued. âLet me be sincere for a moment, if you want Jenkins Group to have a long-term development, you should consider Daniel. I think, this was one of the reasons why your father wanted you to marry him.â
âBut after that, my father turned to Bennett Group. I can interpret this as that
my father made a mistake in his previous assessment.â
âYour fatherâs intention was still correct. All he wanted was a short-term funding from Bennett Group because Jenkins Group has more issues than he had anticipated.
He didnât approach Daniel, maybe because he didnât want to treat you just as a
commodity for a marriage of convenience. He was protecting your dignity. He didnât want Daniel to think he was using you. Rather, he genuinely wanted his daughter to get married.â
Olivia Jenkinsâ almond-shaped eyes drooped slightly, her teeth biting her lower lip, silent.
Jordan Bennettâs deep voice softened, sounding as pleasing as a cello, striking a chord in oneâs heart. âIf you just say a few kind words, Daniel will agree to your request. All he wants is a positive attitude from you. Olivia, you are very smart. I believe you can handle this well.â
Lifting her eyes with a slight quiver of her slender eyelashes, Olivia stared at Jordan, âFrom the beginning, you never planned to invest in Jenkins Group, did you? You knew about Daniel buying Cool Company, didnât you?â Jordan Bennett met Oliviaâs gaze and nodded in agreement.
âI knew about all of Danielâs operations from start to finish. Thatâs why I didnât want to meet you at first, because I already knew that this was a deal that would never go through. Control was firmly in Danielâs hands.â
Wide-eyed in astonishment, Oliviaâs face turned pale, and a tinge of latent anger surged in her chest, âWhy did you change your mind and give me the chance to submit the proposal?â
Jordan Bennett took a deep breath, paused before speaking: âBecause of the emergence of Benjamin Johnson. Daniel wanted me to get involved. He didnât want you to fall into Benjaminâs trap, or to have too much contact with him. He wanted you to see some hope. In truth, we successfully thwarted Benjaminâs nefarious plot, you didnât partner up with him.â
Oliviaâs stern voice came out through gritted teeth, and her face turned dark,
âYou guys played me from the beginning, ha.. hope, that sounds nice.â
At this moment, Olivia felt like she was doused with a bucket of cold water, she felt a chill from head to toe.
Anger flared in her eyes.
âThe business world is unpredictable, Daniel did this for your own good. To protect Jenkins Group, it takes more than just fervor and effort. There are many unseen conspiracies going on behind the scenes. If it werenât for Daniel making all the strategic moves in the background, Jenkins Group wouldnât have reached this far. You wouldnât be sitting in the acting Vice Presidentâs seat.â
Olivia stopped eating and hurriedly paid the bill to leave.
After all the efforts she put into negotiating, all the efforts she made to win this deal, it turns out, it was all a setup and they played her like a fiddle. Those men are despicable, theyâre all bastards!
Jordan Bennett found it hard to say what he was feeling. He phoned Daniel,
âIâve told your wife everything..â
