Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Heart of Stone
Simon Howard was still worried, “Are you sure you don’t want to call his wife? At the very least, she should know that he’s out in the rain!”
Adam Howard found it absurd yet somewhat funny, “Do you think his wife would answer our call? However, you do have a point, his wife should know that he’s standing in the rain. Simon, I know what I’m doing. You just keep an eye on Daniel Marshall. Don’t let those infuriating people get close to him.”
“I understand, it won’t happen a second time,” Simon said, inexplicably feeling depressed inside.
“If it’s something you can’t handle, text me or call me, and I’ll take care of it.”
“Mm.”
Right after hanging up on Simon, Adam called Martin Wallace.
After hearing what happened, Martin couldn’t help but roar with laughter.
Adam said earnestly, “Stop laughing, hurry up and make that call. His wife will only answer calls from her lawyer.”
Martin joked, “If Daniel doesn’t treat us to ten abalones in the future, he’s definitely treating us unfairly.”
“If his wife changes her mind, it won’t just be ten abalones. I bet he’d even give you a Ferrari.”
“Just for the chance at a Ferrari, I’ll make the call.”

“If there is any good news, send me a message.”
“Understood, united, we stand. United, we are invincible!”
“Don’t get too excited too soon. Olivia Jenkins is too clever and determined, it won’t be easy.”
“Even if I hit a wall, I’ll give it a try.”
“Good luck!”
…
The cell phone screen showed an incoming call from Martin. Olivia turned off her music and answered the call.
“Lawyer Wallace, it’s late, are there any updates?” She asked.
Speaking tactfully, with an apologetic tone of voice, Martin said, “Daniel is incredibly stubborn. Even my eloquence couldn’t persuade him. He was so furious that he blocked me and even threatened to beat me up.”
With a faintly raised eyebrow, Olivia probed, “Are you trying to say you want to drop this case?”
“No, I’m not a coward! But I’ve heard that Daniel is standing outside your apartment building. It’s pouring rain in Serene City right now, he’s probably drenched!”
Olivia narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice filled with interest, “Are you feeling sorry for him? Do you feel like you’ve done something wrong?”
Martin frowned slightly, his tone turning serious, “I don’t feel anything. But aren’t you going to check on him? You’re determined to separate from him. He must be completely heartbroken. His spirit might be a bit erratic from the shock.”
Without thinking, Olivia blurted out, “Then you come and chase him away. I’m going to bed.”
Unable to hold it in any longer, Martin burst into laughter.
There was a sharp light in Olivia’s eyes, “Good night, Lawyer Wallace.”
“Good night!”
Suddenly, Olivia hung up the call.
Olivia looked out the window. It was indeed raining, and it was coming down hard.
Without hesitation, Olivia went to bed, not even checking the balcony to see if Daniel was standing outside in the rain.
Even if there was an indescribable emotion in her heart, Olivia’s rationality had clearly made the decision for her. There was no room for turning back, she was firm on separation.
It didn’t matter if it’s Jay Bennett or the secretary, she was sure there would be countless more “sisters” in the future. Since Daniel loved ambiguity so much, she would give him his freedom to play however he wanted.
She would not worry about this bit of hardship he’s enduring.
…
Simon wondered how long these two planned to go on like this, sitting in the car, sighing countless times.
Simon couldn’t sleep. Being unable to help, he could only pray that the downpour wouldn’t get any heavier.
Daniel’s clothes were already soaked.
If he continued to stand in the pouring rain like this, he would definitely get soaked to the skin and invaded by the cold.
When Simon looked up, he realized there was no more hope. The lights in Olivia’s apartment were already off.
Olivia was really determined to break things off!
