Bella Thompson, always astute, certainly understood the implications in Fionaâs words. A smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement.
âDoes Jay Bennett know that Daniel Marshall is married? Iâm actually worried that she may not be able to handle that.â
Fionaâs gaze was dark, âI didnât ask, so as not to open up her old wounds.â
Her eyes flashing brilliantly, Bella deliberately revealed: âDaniel and Olivia
Jenkins are going on their honeymoon. I thought he would have told you all.â
Fionaâs face quickly darkened, âWe had dinner together last night, and he didnât mention it. He has been quite busy lately. Maybe they postponed the honeymoon. â
Having achieved her goal, Bella chimed in, âThat must be it.â
Fionaâs expression turned sour, âAuntie, I donât have time to chat now; Iâm quite busy here.â
Bellaâs smile carried an inscrutable meaning, âYou go ahead, then. Iâll hang up.â
As soon as she hung up, Fiona immediately called Daniel.
But there was no answer, and the call went to voicemail.
Without leaving a message, Fiona quickly made her way towards the vice presidentâs office.
At this time of day, Daniel had yet to arrive at the Marshall Corporation which was quite unlike him. Consequently, Fiona went to find Adam Howard.
âWhere is he? How come he isnât at work?â
Fiona asked coldly, her voice carrying an authoritative tone and imperious demeanor that suggested she was the mistress of Marshall Corporation. Upon seeing this, Adam frowned and gave her a stern look.
âHave you lost your mind, Fiona?â
Fiona glared resentfully at Adam, showing a readiness to defy him, âYou must know where Daniel is.â
Adam looked very serious, âDonât you realize youâre becoming neurotic?â
Fiona was agitated and yelled at Adam, âItâs all because of Daniel!â
Adam said sternly: âWake up, Fiona! If Daniel liked you, he wouldnât have kept you waiting for so many years. The fact is that he doesnât consider you. Even as a substitute, you are unworthy. You should let him go. Thereâs no point in clinging.â
Fionaâs eyes flickered with hatred, âDoes he like Jay Bennett?â
Adam found Fiona ridiculous. His sister-in-law was the best.
Fionaâs foolish infatuation needed to be brought to an end by his sister-in-law.
âIâm not sure. If you want to know, ask him yourself. Fiona, as a friend for many years, Iâm advising you not to play with fire. Itâs not your place to meddle in Danielâs private affairs. If there are things you shouldnât say, even they rot inside, donât carelessly utter them. Otherwise, he wonât forgive you.â
Fiona ignored Adamâs warning. She gave him a fierce look and walked off arrogantly.
Adam frowned and immediately sent a message to his bossâs private phone.
[Just now, Fiona questioned your whereabouts. It seems that Bella has been inquiring about you.]
Very soon, Daniel replied.
[Ignore her.]
[She asked about you and Jay Bennett.]
[Jay Bennettâs performance was canceled. Sheâs leaving Serene City today. She and Fiona donât know each other well, and she doesnât want to deal with her.]
[Iâm just worried that Fiona will start making irresponsible remarks.]
[If she still wants to stay in Marshall Corporation, sheâll keep her mouth shut.
If she dares to harm Jay Bennett, she knows Iâll kick her out immediately.]
[Thatâs settled then, have a good rest.]
Having finished reading the messages from Adam, Daniel put away his private phone.
At this moment, Olivia Jenkins emerged from the bathroom, paying no attention to Daniel.
However, Daniel kept his eyes on her.
After her bath, Oliviaâs delicate skin had taken on a rosy glow, shimmering with a pearly lustrous under the lightâ¦
Her captivating charm made her irresistibly attractive.
Effortlessly, her presence aroused his interest.
Unconsciously, Daniel narrowed his deep-set eyes, âOlivia Jenkins, youâre deliberately seducing me!â
