Lawyer Mitchell’s face turned ashen, at a loss for words.
The secretary asked him to leave, and he had no choice but to oblige, completely losing his previous confidence.
He took this divorce case only because of the high fees.
He knew it would be challenging before he took it, but he didn’t want to miss out on the money.
Despite the insult, he would still try to force Miss Olivia Jenkins to agree to the divorce.
Hannah Jenkins was furious when she couldn’t reach Geoffrey Gullington last night, who had the audacity to turn his phone off.
Seeing Geoffrey Gullington come home to check on her grandmother, Hannah nearly dragged him out of the house.
“So, you hope to eat out of two bowls at once? Geoffrey Gullington, don’t think that I wouldn’t dare kill you!”
Ignoring Hannah’s fierce glare, Geoffrey tightly embraced her, softly soothing, “Calm down, it’s not as it seems. There’s no rekindled flame between Olivia and me; the media’s making it up. My contact with Olivia is intended to gain her trust so I can be your inside man. If we can collaborate, it would be much easier for you to deal with her.”
Annoyed, Hannah shrugged off Geoffrey’s embrace.
Then she disdainfully snorted, “Stop playing games. The fact that you’re able to stay in Serene City is my doing. If I wanted, you could never step foot in this city again, and would be worse off than a beggar. Geoffrey Gullington, you better wise up and not test my bottom line.”
Geoffrey was annoyed, but he hid it well.
He squinted at Hannah, harboring deep hatred for her in his heart.
He knew that the Jenkins Family never treated him as an equal, just a tool to be used. He also understood that he relied on their influence to settle in Serene City, and so, he had been enduring their treatment.
As soon as he was stable, he would make them regret it, especially the bitch in front of him who was always yelling at him.
With a fake serious expression, Geoffrey feigned weakness, soothing, “Hannah, you’re the only one in my heart. I dare not think otherwise. Trust me, I’m just trying to do what’s best for you. I can do anything for you.”
If not for his usefulness, Hannah really didn’t want to see him. She snapped impatiently, “Fine, enough with your sweet talk. If you dare turn off your phone or ignore my calls again, just vanish forever and stop relying on the Jenkins Family.”
Frustration boiling within, Geoffrey had to pretend to be obedient and not retaliate or go against Hannah’s will.
Hannah handed Geoffrey a car key, pointing at a common small car parked in the yard, “I got you a car to make it easy for you to come and take care of my grandma. If you dare to betray me, I won’t let you off, and everything I’ve given will be taken back.”
Geoffrey took the car key, squeezing out a smile and gently gazed at Hannah, “I only live for you, Hannah, you’re my everything. You’re my last woman, I’ll never betray you.”
“Quit trying to act cute, go check on my Grandma, her health hasn’t been great.”
Squashing all emotions, Geoffrey entered the Jenkins’ house again.
Inside, he still harbored immense hatred for the Jenkins Family.
He would never forget how they ruined his life, causing his downfall. Andrew Jenkins’ death was no loss at all.
To better understand and grasp the group’s business affairs, Olivia herself went to the group’s robotic base.
Christian Ziegler, the technical expert, and Chief Engineer, patiently explained the situation of the base to Olivia.
Olivia also noticed the difficulties faced by the robot project and research center.
Without further financial input, many projects would have to be halted.
After the meeting, Olivia was in a hurry to return to the group headquarters.
In the base’s parking lot, out of nowhere, Olivia was dragged into a commercial vehicle by several men..
