The exclusive report from Serene City Daily also confirmed that the woman whom Jordan Bennett was seen holding, made the headlines, and was only identified by her back, was Abigail Anderson.
Abigail Anderson is actually Jordan Bennettâs girlfriend! Olivia Jenkins looked at Adam Howard in utter shock.
Seeing this, Martin Wallace too looked at Adam, âIt feels like I missed out on a billion-dollar deal!â
Olivia chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with amusement. âMartin, you missed out big time by not being there last night!â
Adam suddenly understood and laughed at himself. âSo all this time, Iâve been the clown, the one getting played.â
Martin interrupted urgently, âQuickly tell me what happened last night. Next time thereâs juicy gossip, you must call me no matter how late it is!â
Adam rolled his eyes at Martin, âInquisitive much!â
Martin raised his eyebrows teasingly, âDonât tell me you are into Jordan Bennettâs girl? Only to find out she didnât even notice you and you ended up performing a one-man show?â
Olivia burst into laughter, finding Martin and Adam too amusing!
Adam kept a straight face and glared at Martin, âYouâve done your part. You can leave now.â
âI bet itâs exactly as I said.â
âWho could have guessed Abigail Anderson is actually Jordan Bennettâs girlfriend, could you? She was right under my sisterâs nose, and even she didnât guess it! Jordan Bennett really gave us a surprise!â
Martin remained silent with a smile, patting Adamâs shoulder.
Sliding away from Martinâs touch, Adam explained, âIâm not upset at all, it was just a joke last night, Iâm not heartbroken.â
Martin stood up, blunt as ever, âEven if you were heartbroken, youâre used to it. It wonât hurt you. Iâm leaving, call me if you need anything.â
Adam waved him off, âOff you go, I donât want to see you. Youâre so annoying with your words!â
âIâm a talk-show host, if my mouth stops working, Iâll starve.â
Adam didnât respond, just shot Martin a glance.
Olivia tilted her head, looking at Adam, âArenât you leaving?â
âUntil Valerie recovers, Iâm your bodyguard. If any harm befalls you, Daniel will have my hide.â
Oliva responded seriously, âAdam, thank you! Thank goodness you took photos last night and got the surveillance footage from the hot pot restaurant. Otherwise, things could have gotten worse.â
âYou have too many eyes on you, and too many people hoping youâll get kicked out of the Marshall family. So, the slander against you is like never-ending rain. Always keep your guard up.â
âI wonder if I wouldnât be slandered if there were no men around me?â
âNowadays, technology and the internet are so advanced, a manipulated photo can cause a huge mess. Things donât necessarily have to be seen to be believed.â
Olivia fell silent, deep in thought.
Adam eyed Olivia, his sharp gaze filled with curiosity. âAre you thinking about Daniel?â
It was indeed Danielâs handsome face that Olivia had in mind. Upon Adamâs question, Olivia quickly snapped back to reality, âIâm going back to the Jenkinsâ house. Are you coming with me?â
Adam confidently responded, âYou are definitely thinking about Daniel. Actually, heâs a really great guy and I think he means it with you. Since Daniel isnât in Serene City, Iâm your driver, and part-time bodyguard.â
Olivia pressed her lips together and smiled gently.
Without saying more, Olivia led the way out.
Adam trailed behind Olivia, chattering non-stop: âTry opening your heart to accept him. I think heâs quite pitiable, he needs your love!â
Olivia stopped in her track, turned around, and looked at Adam. âDo you know Daniel well?â
