Chapter 205

Never mind the rest, the way Daniel Marshall just stood up against his grandfather was quite something!

Who wants to be controlled their whole life? Who wants to be a puppet? Perhaps, Daniel’s rebellion and his defiance against his grandfather was for his own sake.

Olivia Jenkins had a fleeting moment of admiration for him, but it soon disappeared.

She didn’t feel grateful to Daniel. They were merely passengers on the same boat, sharing the same fate of sinking or swimming.

Thinking about Daniel’s various actions made Olivia Jenkins feel uncomfortable. Suddenly, she threw off his hand.

She looked at him coldly.

The barrier in her heart was getting higher and higher, returning the cold indifference on her face.

“I have other things to do, I’m leaving.”

Daniel Marshalls’s hawk-eye was fixed on Olivia Jenkins, “Where are you going?”

“There’s no clause in the marriage agreement that states I have to report to you wherever I go!”

Daniel Marshall watched as Olivia Jenkins got into the car and drove off.

He didn’t stop her, nor did he force her to go with him.

Daniel Marshall’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the tracking map on his phone.

This woman thinks she can slip through his fingers, no way!

Alexander Marshall, furious, stopped eating and went to his study on the second floor.

Bella Thompson remained in the dining room, occasionally eating some dishes.

Her thoughts started to wander.

Earlier, she was startled by Daniel, worrying that his actions would cause an uproar in the family.

Bella Thompson admired Daniel’s courage, but she was more filled with envy and discontent.

Even though she and Michael Marshall knew well of their grandfather’s selfishness, despite their complaints against him, they never dared to openly confront him. Daniel had the nerve to talk bluntly and powerfully.

If Michael Marshall had been half as courageous as Daniel back then, if he had resisted to the end, she might not have been successful, and she certainly wouldn’t be the Marshall Family Mistress now.

It was fortunate that she had not faced an opponent like Olivia Jenkins.

However, with Olivia in the Marshall family, she wouldn’t have peaceful days. This wretched woman was her stumbling block, and she must oust her.

Thankfully, Charmy Bennett was gentle in nature. Otherwise, dealing with a cunning woman like Olivia Jenkins, who once gotten power, would undermine her and Matthew Marshall’s status in the family.

Also, it was lucky that Olivia Jenkins came later, and didn’t win the old man’s favor. Otherwise, her son and she would be ruined, and the Yonder Group would be finished.

Unexpectedly, Bella Thompson thought of something Olivia had said. She stopped eating and went to Michael Marshall’s study.

The woman had been missing for more than twenty years, never appearing once. Even if Michael Marshall still hated her, forbidding Daniel from mentioning her, Bella Thompson couldn’t be sure whether Michael had completely forgotten this woman.

She used to avoid doubts to reassure herself, to maintain her seemingly blissful and happy marriage.

Yet with Olivia’s instigation, she felt a thorn in her heart. It was as if thousands of ants were crawling, and she needed peace of mind.

Bella Thompson rummaged through the drawers and Michael’s desk, but she didn’t find anything that belonged to that woman.

Initially, he probably cleaned up thoroughly.

He must have decided to erase that woman from his heart.

It was Olivia Jenkins, that bitch, trying to drive a wedge to destroy their marital relationship. She couldn’t fall into her trap.

Preparing to leave Michael’s study, Bella Thompson took a glance backward.

In the end, her sight stopped on the bookshelf.

There, a book, noticeably worn and showed traces of being read.

It might be frequently flipped through, or it might have been lying there for years.

As if led by some inexplicable force, Bella Thompson went over and took the book.

Flipping casually through it, Bella Thompson caught sight of a picture stitched in between its pages..
