Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Do You Regret It?
Throughout this year, the drive for Olivia Jenkins had been the prospect of divorce.
But now, at the moment when the divorce was to become real, when Daniel Marshall complied, and the elder decisively issued the command, a complex range of emotions surged through Olivia’s heart, indescribable and bitter-sweet.
For a long time, Olivia’s lips remained pressed together, without uttering a single word.
Benjamin Johnson, holding Joy in his arms, looked at Olivia with concern, “What are your plans?
...
You need to come up with 1.6 billion all at once, and there’s the division of interests to consider; what about the Jenkins Group?
You’ve always wanted a divorce, but have you thought through the consequences?”
Olivia still said nothing, her brows furrowed and her eyes lifeless.
Pausing for a moment, Benjamin continued, “I can give you two billion; you don’t have to worry about finances.
But if you go through with this divorce, won’t you regret it?
Perhaps, the gossip and slander will come at you like a flood and wild beasts; can you withstand it?
Do you truly no longer love Daniel Marshall?
Yes, he’s made mistakes, but he’s also tried to consider your best interests.”
“…”
“I can stabilize the Jenkins Group for you, but this also means you’ll have to start from scratch, and the Jenkins Group’s operations will inevitably be greatly affected.
You need to be mentally prepared.
From the moment you decided on divorce, you should have envisioned today’s situation.”
“…”
“If you demand a divorce from Daniel while also expecting him not to change anything, to be honest, I find your thinking selfish.”
“…”
“In this world, no one gets to take all the advantages and luck without enduring cruelty; real life is about give and take.
When you dwell on Daniel’s flaws, you’ve clearly forgotten all his strengths, but what about your weaknesses?
Don’t you have any?
Or do you choose to be blind to them?”
“…”
“In other words, you’re being hypocritical; you allow yourself to hold the knife, but won’t let others do the same.” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“…”
“I’m also to blame; I’ve indulged your caprice.
Olivia, think carefully about what you really need in your heart.”
“…”
“Whatever decision you make, I will respect it, and I will do my best to help you.
But you must also be prepared for the unprecedented pressure and criticism that you will face.
To be frank, there will be many who are eager to see your divorce, and some may have ulterior motives.
The title of Mrs.
Marshall is coveted by many; your absence won’t make it less so.”
Benjamin left, holding Joy in his arms, and Olivia sat alone in the hospital garden.
Olivia slightly lowered her gaze, her eyes empty.
Grandpa was right; she wanted to boil the frog in lukewarm water.
On one hand, she caused a commotion about divorcing Daniel, but she delayed taking substantial action because she knew all too well that the Jenkins Group could not survive significant upheavals or major personnel changes.
Her push for a divorce from Daniel was only in the negotiation phase also because she was acutely aware that even if they were to divorce, they would need two to three years of confidentiality.
She didn’t dare gamble with the future of the Jenkins Group.
Indeed, she was selfish.
She lacked security.
Grandpa’s determination had easily knocked her back to square one.
Suddenly, Olivia laughed at herself with self-derision, a bitter sourness welling up in her heart.
…
As soon as the news of Olivia’s intention to divorce Daniel broke, it immediately topped multiple social media platforms’ trending lists, and the topics exploded.
Due to the overwhelming number of people searching the topic, several social networks suddenly crashed.
Upon hearing the news, the Jenkins Group’s shareholders called for an emergency shareholders’ meeting, and the secretary notified Olivia to rush back to the group immediately.
