Such an apt attack on his vanity!
Such a pity though, Daniel Marshall is inherently a scoundrel!
Olivia Jenkins’s mind was still clear, she dodged Daniel’s hot breath and firmly removed his hand.
Daniel did not let go but kept his arms around Olivia and held her hand tightly.
“Honey, don’t be angry, alright?”
“I’m not angry, let me go. I want to study the plan a little more.”
“Whatever you don’t understand, you can ask me. I remember it all clearly. If you don’t let me hold you, you’re definitely angry.”
Olivia contemptuously pointed at Daniel’s forehead. “That’s nonsense!”
“I’m really going to feed the pigs, chickens, and ducks tomorrow. Don’t pull my hand; I feel pain, maybe the wound is bleeding.”
Olivia, both angry and annoyed, snapped at Daniel in a raised voice. “Then just let go!”
Daniel earnestly said, “But, I’m afraid you’ll walk away.”
“If you don’t let go, I’ll leave.”
Daniel quickly let go and Olivia checked his hand. She saw a bleeding wound.
Olivia took a cotton swab and applied pressure to Daniel’s wound.
A surge of nameless anger rose up in Olivia’s heart. She glared angrily at Daniel, cursing: “Are you out of your mind? You’re not a three-year-old child, stop being so damn childish!”
Daniel was expressionless and looked persistently at Olivia with calm eyes.
Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed Olivia’s lips. “There’s no water in my brain, only you!”
Feeling an indescribable emotion in her chest, Olivia no longer rebuked Daniel, taking deep breaths… deep breaths…
Last time, she saw Daniel hugging another woman at the entrance of the milk tea shop. Who was that woman?
Didn’t Daniel always have a space for Charmy Bennett in his heart, then what is she?
She didn’t know if she should trust Daniel’s words.
His gaze was sincere and, for a moment, Olivia even had the illusion that Daniel was in love with her.
However, his unconscious actions showed he didn’t like her that much.
If all this was a show just for her, she admired his performance—it almost had her fooled.
Although her heart and thoughts were in chaos, Olivia remained rational; the solid wall she had built around herself hadn’t been breached.
Suddenly, Olivia sternly said, “Stop deliberately hurting yourself. You still have to feed the pigs and do the farm work. If you can’t handle it, go back to Serene City and live your pampered life.”
“I would willingly walk through fire and water for you. I didn’t hurt myself on purpose. I never run away from dirty work, nor am I a man who gives in easily.”
Olivia gave Daniel a blank look, then removed the cotton swab to take another look.
The wound on Daniel’s hand stopped bleeding. Olivia applied medicine to it.
Olivia no longer chased Daniel away.
No matter what, they were legally married, and it’s her duty to do her part as Mrs. Marshall.
Daniel gave Olivia a cryptic look. “Honey, don’t you want to see me?”
“That’s not it, go to sleep early. We have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”
“Do you have any objections to the plan?”
“No objections, I agree to cooperate.”
“Quiet Video has David Jefferson, Light Media has Will Lee. How about their combined variety show?”
Olivia’s eyes widened with interest as she looked at Daniel. “That’s not even a question. A variety show with them will definitely be popular, and the ratings will soar! However, the Jenkins Group cannot have any business dealings with the Marshall Corporation, nor can it parade under the Marshall Corporation’s name.”
