Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins sat on the sofa, with Daniel embracing Olivia, apparently telling everyone in the room that as long as he was there, no one could bully Olivia.
Michael Marshall didnât take Danielâs statement seriously. He glared at Olivia without disguising his disdain that stabbed sharply like a knife.
No emotions wavered on Oliviaâs face. She ignored her father-in-lawâs opinion. A trace of disdain swept across her eyes as she coldly glanced at Bella Thompson.
Bella was definitely up to her old tricks of stirring up trouble and sowing discord
There was an emotion of disdain still present in Oliviaâs eyes. Deep down, she looked down on the actions of the Marshall family, especially her father-in-law who seemed blind, unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Bella didnât dare make a sound; it wasnât her turn to express her opinion. She secretly observed the old manâs reaction, guessing the old manâs thoughts, she was only concerned about her own interests.
No matter how much Olivia, this despicable woman, disliked her mother-in-law, Bella was still her mother-in-law. She would always be above Olivia. Bella didnât deign Oliviaâs disregard for her, still maintaining an air of superiority.
Daniel and Olivia had arrived, sat for a while, and yet the living room remained quiet. No one took the initiative to break the icy silence. Alexander Marshallâs sharp gaze scanned around like a hawkâs.
Frustrated, Alexander could see everyoneâs intentions. Biting his lips, he said, What an disappointing family! Everyone scheming their own plots.
Are they here to gaze at each other? Even a blind date wouldnât be this silent. Suddenly, Olivia was the first to break the frozen atmosphere.
âGrandfather, what do you want to say?â
Alexanderâs stern gaze lightly swept over Olivia. âThey think youâre wrong. Do you know what youâve done wrong, girl?â
Olivia blinked in confusion, âWhere is the mistake?â
Alexander stared sharply at Bella, âYou think sheâs wrong. Tell us what wrong sheâs done. What grievance do you have with her? Whatâs causing all this fuss?â The old man suddenly turned his accusatory finger toward her, startling Bella. As Bella stared back at the old man, she shivered under his menacing gaze, a wave of panic and fear swept over her.
In the midst of her hesitation, Michael spoke coldly. âDad, youâre clearly favoring one side. Canât the elders in the family monitor their daughters-in-law? Ever since this woman married into the Marshall family, what has she done thatâs been reassuring? When did she not cause chaos in the
Marshall family?â
Daniel revealed a scornful and sarcastic smile, dismissing them casually. âWhen was it not someone deliberately sowing discord? When was it not someone hoping the Marshall family fell into chaos? When was it not someone fantasizing about reaping the benefits of the fishermen? The intentions of some are clearly laid on the table. Dad, canât you see? Do you think everyone is blind?â
Michaelâs gaze turned stern, rage boiling in his chest. He shouted angrily, âShut up! Daniel, youâre getting more and more insolent! How can you be so confused by the lies?â
Danielâs gaze was like a frosty blade, cold and ruthless. His deep voice brought a chilling sensation, âDad, I suggest you get a good pair of glasses, and make sure you clean them properly. Iâm worried that youâll stumble one day without
Imowing it.â
Bursting into laughter, Olivia couldnât help herself. Everyone was looking at Olivia except for Daniel..
