Martin Wallaceâs sly eyes were fixed on Olivia Jenkins, observing her with a bewilderingly scrutinous gaze.
âI heard that Daniel Marshall has a fever, and it still hasnât subsided.â
With an aloof expression, Olivia replied casually, âHe has the best doctors.â
âBy the way, Daniel told me to tell you that he wonât die.â
Olivia responded indifferently, her detached demeanor shielding any emotions, âHmm, noted.â
âIs that it? You twoâ¦
Oliviaâs voice grew colder, âLavvyer Wallace, what exactly got into you, acting so dramatic?â
âYou two havenât reached the point of divorce yet, huh!â
âAnd to think the Marshall Family is so stingy, if they were willing to give me two billion, it wouldâve been over a long time ago!â
The corners of Martinâs mouth curled up, displaying a wickedly charming smile, âItâs not like they got their money blown in by the wind! Actually, Daniel is pretty ok. Might as well continue with this marriage.â
âBella Thompson should really hire you as her divorce lawyer. If it had been you talking to me and passing on my wishes with the aid of your persuasive tongue, this marriage wouldâve ended long ago.â
Despite the seemingly complimentary words, Martin was able to discern the subtle scolding.
With a chuckle, Martin laughed without showing signs of anger.
âI wouldnât risk my life for such unrighteous money. Letâs get serious, sister-in-law.â
âGo ahead; I can see you canât hold it in.â Olivia leaned back and rubbed her temples.
Although she was good at arguing, she felt a headache coming on and discomfort.
Martin turned serious, looked at Olivia Jenkins with a worried eye, and cautiously asked, âSister-in-law, are you ill? How about we go see a doctor first?â
âNo need, Iâm fine! If not for being irritated every day, Iâm sure I would live to be a hundred.â
After a few seconds of silence, Martin spoke in a soft voice, âI found out that the withdrawal of the lawsuit will be announced tomorrow morning. We could arrange to sign the paperwork tomorrow afternoon.â
The news was the most comforting thing Olivia had heard in recent times, and finally, something was coming to a satisfying conclusion.
However, Oliviaâs feelings were mixed, and she still couldnât feel genuinely happy.
Both the Marshall and Jenkins Families were like hot coals to her. Each step she took toward them felt like walking on hot coals.
âAlright, letâs sign the contract tomorrow.â
âBe aware, handling transfer procedures, notarization, and stuff require money. You might want to find out more about it.â
Olivia nodded.
Martin looked at her; her face was a bit pale, and she was not in great shape.
When not arguing, she seemed to be completely drained, as if she was sick.
A sudden wave of worry flashed through Martinâs eyes.
âIâll talk to Lawyer Hall and draft a list. At that time, we will assist you with the transfer procedures. Iâll contact you tonight about the specifics regarding fees.â
âThank you, Lawyer Wallace. I appreciate your help!â
Martin advised, âYou should really go to the hospital, Sister-in-law. Take good care of yourself. I know you canât afford to collapse. Many are keeping an eye on you, just hoping for something to happen to you. I also know you are under great pressure. Itâs okay to rest from time to time; no one can defy fate.
Sometimes itâs okay to lean on a manâs shoulders.â
Olivia forced a smile, âAs you know, I was once a doctor myself. I understand my own health better. Still, thank you, Lavvyer Wallace for your particular warning. Iâll be careful, and of course, I canât afford to collapse.â
âOkay then, this concludes our meeting today. I should get going now,â Martin stood up and took a last look at Olivia before leaving.
Before he reached the elevator, he called Daniel, âYour wife seems off, she might be sick and feeling unwell. I advised her to see a doctor, but she refused..â
