Chapter 61
He Clings to Me Every Nigh
Just a twitch at the corner of Olivia Jenkinsâs mouth, her almond eyes glancing at Daniel Marshall.
Daniel Marshall was still smiling, conscientiously using a tissue to wipe his face, and didnât disturb Olivia Jenkinsâs phone call.
With a calm tone, Olivia Jenkins spoke coldly, continuing to vent: âGrandma, is it hilarious for you to have high hopes for the water that has been splashed out? I havenât seen the three hundred million bridal gift, whether your grandson buys a house or not is none of my business, and I definitely donât have the obligation to buy him one.â
Growing increasingly angry, Mrs. Jenkinsâs voice became sharp and uncompromising, âOlivia Jenkins , stop pretending, you canât have it all to yourself. Cough up the three hundred million bridal gift now, it was the heartfelt gift from the Marshall Family to the Jenkins Family.â
Feeling a surge of indescribable bitterness in her heart, Olivia Jenkinsâ face turned ice-cold, her eyes turning red, âAfter coming of age, I have not spent a penny from the Jenkins Family. Grandma, before, I thought you were only favoring others, but now, whether itâs the ugly mask or disgusting face, theyâre all on full display. You are really unfit for the title âelderâ.â
âNo matter how sharp your words are, no matter how much you argue, you still have to cough up the three hundred million bridal gift.â
Grandmaâs voice was very unpleasant, Olivia Jenkinsâs eardrums were aching a little.
She uttered her harsh words with a cold tone, âEven if I had three hundred million bridal gifts, I wouldnât give you a single Penny. Iâm the one who married Daniel Marshall, therefore this bridal gift is rightfully mine! Grandma, Iâm warning you one more time, piss me off and Iâll have Daniel Marshall acquire the Jenkins Group. If I made such a statement, I can make it happen. Do you want to give it a shot?â
âYouâ¦youâ¦â
âI advise you to talk less rubbish, maybe you could live a few more years. Otherwise, even if you ruined the Jenkins Family, Grandpa wonât forgive you after springing out from his grave.â
âYouâ¦youâ¦youâre too defiant! Such a furious, damned girl!â
âSince grandma can utter such words like âsplashed out water,â then please have some shame and donât bother âthe splashed out waterâ time and time again. If you have no shame, I still know whatâs disgusting!â
Laying down her words, Olivia Jenkins, refusing to say more, directly hung up the phone.
Blinking her eyes a few times to disperse the gathering mist in her eyes, Olivia Jenkins then went to change Daniel Marshallâs quilt.
Daniel Marshall had heard Olivia Jenkinsâs phone call, his sharp eyes looking at her, but he didnât ask more.
After changing the quilt and tidying up the dishes, Olivia Jenkins went into the bathroom.
Leaning against the wall for a while, Olivia Jenkins still called her father.
âHave you eaten?â
The extremely simple question from his daughter, Andrew Jenkinsâs mood improved and a smile reached his lips.
âI have, donât worry about me, Iâm okay. Iâm staying in a hotel for a while, wanted some peace and quiet,â without asking, Andrew Jenkins guessed that his mother and Seraphina must have vented their anger on Olivia Jenkins.
It was unfair to Olivia Jenkins and he felt sorry for her.
Her almond eyes glancing downward, Olivia Jenkins asked in a soft voice, âHavenât things been sorted out with the company? Are you really short of money?â
Despite Smith Groupâs threat being gone, Jenkins Group was still in a predicament.
The second-largest shareholder pulled out last month, and until now, he has not found a solution to the severed investment.
If this crisis is not resolved in time, it would be troublesome next month.
Now, Jenkins Group did have a severe shortage of money.
The three hundred million bridal gift from the Marshall Family was hardly enough to support the companyâs operation.
He hasnât let Olivia Jenkins know about these, hoping to sort these out before leaving.
He tried his best to put a continuously developing Jenkins Group in her hands.
Andrew Jenkins was already content with his daughterâs concern, the joyful smile on his face gradually deepening, âThe company is operating normally, itâs okay! The matters at home are embarrassing, donât take it to heart whatever they say, donât mind them.â
Unexpectedly, Olivia Jenkinsâs nose tingled, her eyes welling up again..
