Chapter 339: 339: Motive
Olivia Jenkins meticulously observed the six photos spread out on the office desk.
All six pictures had a common detail—they all were her solo photos, taken in the parking lot of a hot pot restaurant. Her face in each photo had been slashed with a knife, and a large cross was drawn over the body in every picture.
Olivia was a bit confused about the person’s intentions.
A mere warning? That doesn’t seem likely!
An attempt at her life? That move would be too rash!
Olivia picked up the package and inspected the address on it. She then dialed Assistant Jacobs via the intercom and asked him to check the address and the relevant courier branches.
Valerie took out her mobile phone, ready to make a call, but Olivia immediately stopped her, “Don’t tell your brother, and don’t tell my husband yet. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.”
Valerie obediently put down the phone, speculating, “Could someone be out for revenge? People you have disputes with, those with conflicting interests, jealous fans, etc. all might have a motive.”
With sharpness gleaming in her almond eyes, Olivia self-mockingly said, “I have quite a lot of enemies and haters who wish for my demise. We just need to be extra careful. The fewer know about this, the better. Avoid alerting the enemy prematurely. We’ll be patient, and the culprit will surely leave some clues behind.”
Valerie looked at Chief Jenkins admiringly, “You’re so composed, not a hint of panic or fear. Absolutely queen-like. Anyone else would have probably notified the police by now, or surrounded themselves with bodyguards.”
Olivia smiled slightly, calmly looking at Valerie, “From this moment on, you need to pretend to know nothing. Just follow me, don’t be suspicious looking around, and live as usual as if we were ordinary people.”
“Understood.”
“If the person isn’t simply trying to scare me, there will certainly be further actions. We will wait for them to expose themselves.”
Valerie nodded, agreeing with Chief Jenkins’ decision.
Olivia put the photos in the drawer and left the office nonchalantly with Valerie.
Olivia went to the Jenkins family villa in Shallow Bay.
Valerie waited on the first floor, while Olivia went upstairs to see her grandmother alone.
Mrs. Jenkins hadn’t taken a bite of the porridge served by Leaf Fiona. Leaf Fiona only sighed in relief when she saw Olivia.
Olivia asked Leaf Fiona to leave and took over the porridge from her hand, attempting to feed her grandmother.
Mrs. Jenkins glared resentfully at Olivia, refusing to open her mouth to eat the porridge.
Olivia, expressionless, tentatively asked, “Are you missing Hannah, Granny? Should I video call her? I’ll chat with her.
Angrily, Mrs. Jenkins snapped, “Hannah has already gone abroad. Are you, a cruel woman, still not going to leave her alone?”
Olivia fluttered her long eyelashes slightly, her penetrating gaze still fixed on her grandmother, “Don’t you miss Hannah? With Hannah abroad, don’t you want to video chat with her? Don’t you want to see her? Hasn’t Hannah called you yet?”
“Hannah is doing very well abroad, you cruel woman, don’t disturb her. Hannah certainly would have called me to check on my health, unlike your heartless self.”
Olivia spoke softly, yet her voice carried an underlying force, “Granny, if you don’t eat porridge, how will your body recover? If you don’t eat or drink, won’t that make Hannah worry? Do you want her to come back to take care of you?” Mrs. Jenkins glared gloomily at Olivia.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Jenkins deliberately opened her mouth, and Olivia fed her a spoonful of porridge.
Suddenly, Mrs. Jenkins spat all the porridge in her mouth onto Olivia’s face..
