BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 - 144: Provocation
Daniel Marshall’s voice was as cold as ice, “Benjamin Johnson is out of line! Anyone who dares to harm mine, I won’t let them go.”
Adam Howard hesitated for a moment before falling silent, not daring to say much.
“Do you have anything else to say?” Daniel’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Adam’s thoughts.
Adam shook his head, “That’s it, I’m leaving.”
Daniel fell silent too, and lit up a cigarette.
He took a drag from it, blowing out a delicate ring of smoke from his sensually thin lips.
Just like a regularly scheduled alarm clock, Lawyer Mitchell once again showed up in Olivia Jenkins’ office.
Olivia accepted the divorce agreement and tossed it into the paper shredder without even glancing at it, reducing it to a pile of waste paper in an instant.
Lawyer Mitchell pushed up his glasses, staring at Olivia as he carefully said, “Aren’t you going to take a closer look? The terms have been changed; the Marshall family is now willing to offer $10 million in alimony. Sounds like a bargain, you should stop pushing, if you keep this up, it certainly won’t end well for you.”
Olivia sneered in ridicule, “Do you think I’m a beggar? Do I need $10 million? If they want a divorce, let them pay 2 billion, not a dime less. Without 2 billion, any discussion is pointless.”
“You’re really pushing your luck.”
“If you don’t like me, then don’t be my lawyer. I don’t like you either and seeing you brings me bad luck!”
Despite his anger, Lawyer Mitchell had no option but to suppress it.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, Lavvyer Mitchell continued, “The most they can offer is 20 million. You must leave Daniel, otherwise, when you get kicked out, it won’t be a pretty sight. The proof lies in the scandal between you and Jordan Bennett. This indicates that you were at fault and thus not entitled to a high alimony.”
“Whether I look good or not is not up to you. In fact, you might not even get to see lt. But I can assure you tnat tne Signt ot you being tnrown out would De not pretty.”
Olivia Jenkins’ cold voice filled the room with an intimidating aura.
She pressed the intercom button and called for security, ordering them to throw Lawyer Mitchell out of the Jenkins Group’s building.
Furthermore, Olivia decreed that from today onwards, Lawyer Mitchell was forbidden from setting foot inside the Jenkins Group’s premises.
Unable to hold back his annoyance any longer, anger flickered in Lawyer Mitchell’s eyes, “You’re truly a wicked woman, no wonder the Marshall Family doesn’t want you.”
Olivia stared somberly at Lawyer Mitchell, “I’m wicked? Good, let me deny you even the opportunity to make money. Starting from now, if the lawyers sent here by the Marshall family are not satisfactory, I won’t see them at all and won’t discuss anything related to the divorce either.”
Before Olivia even finished speaking, the security personnel had entered the room.
They grabbed Lawyer Mitchell and escorted him out.
Despite his screams and shouts, no one paid any attention to him.
The bystanders merely paused to witness his spectacle.
Just like taking out the trash, the security personnel tossed Lawyer Mitchell out the front door of the Jenkins Group, recording the whole incident and sending it to their CEO for review.
Without hesitation, Olivia sent the video to Bella Thompson and the elder.
Olivia also sent a provocative voice message: “Now, even if you’re willing to give me 2 billion in alimony, I won’t divorce. It’s useless to send a thousand lavvyers. You’ve persuaded all the banks to halt loans to the Jenkins Group in an attempt to crush me. I’m telling you, it won’t work. I will live well, just to spite you all.”
Back at Beverly Hills, Alexander Marshall’s face turned livid with anger.
Remembering how Daniel Marshall had defended that woman against all odds at their villa by Pearl Lake, Alexander’s anger soared, his veins popping in fury.
He was determined to get rid of Olivia Jenkins.
No way would he allow this woman to destroy his prided grandson!
