Olivia Jenkins still remembers this bank card.
She opened it when she was 18, planning to study abroad.
At that time, her dad had deposited one million into the card, and she had prepared her visa.
However, due to the strong opposition from Seraphina and her grandmother, there were heated arguments at home. In the end, she voluntarily gave up studying abroad, and only then did the quarrels at home cease.
Afterward, she returned the bank card to her father. She hadn’t touched a single cent.
Unexpectedly, her father gave her the bank card again.
Olivia’s heart was slightly moved, but she still couldn’t wipe away all the past grievances.
She couldn’t simply act as if nothing had happened.
Lowering her eyes slightly, Olivia said coldly, “Daniel Marshall gave me a bank card; I don’t lack money; you keep it for yourself.”
Andrew Jenkins looked at his daughter with a loving gaze.
If he had more time, he really wanted to spend more time with her.
He wanted to see her happy.
“Olivia, you take it first. The money isn’t much, just a token of my sentiment. If your mother were alive, she would give you the best of everything. I’m sorry for my incompetence that has caused you sorrow,” he apologized.
“Don’t say that, I am too fortunate.”
“You should go back to work, and I should leave too.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Olivia said: “I’ll keep this card for now, and if you need money, I’ll give it to you.”
Andrew Jenkins just smiled and nodded.
Olivia watched her father without saying a word.
Andrew Jenkins waved his hand, “You go, go about your business.”
Olivia pressed her lips tightly, stood stunned for a few seconds, and then silently walked away clutching her suitcase.
Andrew Jenkins still stood there, watching his daughter’s retreating figure with heartache.
He firmly believed that Olivia would understand his painstaking concerns.
All his plans and strategies were for her sake.
Daniel Marshall would be the best man to take care of her. Only Daniel could hold the fort after he was gone, and protect the Jenkins Group for her.
Knowing that Andrew Jenkins was back from his business trip, Seraphina rushed back from the hot spring resort.
Without announcing her arrival, Seraphina walked directly into the CEO’s office and affectionately hugged Andrew Jenkins.
“Andrew, you’re finally back, I missed you so much!”
Andrew Jenkins didn’t look at Seraphina even once and kept reviewing reports.
He was usually cold, which Seraphina was accustomed to, so she didn’t argue with Andrew Jenkins.
Still hugging Andrew lovingly, Seraphina softly said, “I have some good news for you; you are going to be a grandfather.”
Andrew Jenkins turned his eyes to her and, coldly asked, “What has that kid gotten himself into now?”
Seraphina was a bit displeased, but still smiled and said, “George Jenkins’s girlfriend is pregnant, this is good news! They’re planning to get married, so we need to prepare for their wedding, and the bride price. I’ve talked with the girl’s parents, so we need to prepare for this.”
Andrew brushed off Seraphina’s arms, stood up, and went to pour himself a cup of warm water, taking a sip.
Andrew looked at Seraphina coldly, with a piercing gaze, “Just say it directly, how much money do you want this time?”
Seraphina’s eyes flashed cunningly, and she cooed softly, “We have spoilt
George rotten. Him settling down would be a good thing, like having another person disciplining him. They’ve spotted a villa, which is around 200 million. The girl’s side insists that the bride price should not be less than 10 million. I talked to mom about it; she doesn’t have any objections.”
Andrew Jenkins took another sip of his warm water, trying to suppress his rising anger.
“Seraphina, how dare you ask me for more than 200 million? Do you think I am an ATM? Don’t use my mom as an excuse; it’s obviously your idea.” Seraphina couldn’t pretend any longer, and anger began to blaze in her eyes.
“Olivia has three hundred million in bridal gifts.. How is it excessive to use two hundred million to buy our son a villa?”
