Only Grace Ziegler knew about his fondness for leek dumplings and pickles. How could Valerie Howard know?

Picking up on the disdain in Valerie’s words, Daniel felt a tight knot in his heart. If Valerie knew, then Olivia Jenkins would definitely know too.

Desperately, he tried to decipher the truth.

Daniel fiercely stared at Valerie and demanded in a stern voice, “Did Secretary Grace Ziegler tell you?”

Valerie’s face darkened, revealing a mix of emotions. She shot Daniel an icy glare and said, “Yes, you’re my boss, but I can’t stand seeing Olivia being treated badly anymore. And yet she must continue to pretend like everything is fine to protect your reputation.”

In an instant, regret filled Daniel’s heart. His complexion grew dark and terrifying, his eyes radiating an eerie and dangerous energy. He harshly demanded, “Explain yourself!”

Simon Howard joined in, “Valerie, tell us everything. What scheme has that woman been plotting behind our backs? How has she been mistreating Olivia? And why did you not speak up earlier to prevent this misunderstanding, or even this entire debacle?”

Pressing her lips together, Valerie angrily blurted out, “I have never seen such a brazen woman. What gives her the right to provoke Olivia? Who does she think she is? Is she under the illusion that she is your favorite?

Daniel, how exactly do you control the people around you? Were you having an affair with that despicable woman? I thought you deeply loved Olivia. I even admired your relationship, but now I’m disappointed.

During the annual Marshall Corporation event, that shameless woman followed Olivia into the bathroom and introduced herself as your secretary. She bragged about you enjoying her leek dumplings and pickles, even offering to teach Olivia so she could cook them for you.

If those actions don’t constitute as provocation, what does? Weren’t you the one who gave her the audacity to confront Olivia? You must be blind!”

I was furious! I wanted to slap her across the face on the spot. Only Olivia, with her saint-like patience and modesty, handled everything gracefully, not allowing the event to be disrupted. Daniel, you better control your people and stop them from disrupting Olivia’s life. If I see that woman again, I won’t hesitate to slap her.

Also, I heard from Abigail Anderson that you were snuggling with a woman in the middle of the street. We have a big problem with your actions, and frankly, we are starting to despise you. It would be best if you stayed away from us; otherwise, we won’t be able to suppress our urge to berate you.”

Upon hearing the truth, Daniel was speechless, his mind in a state of chaos. His heart filled with regret and endless self-reproach.

Daniel realised that he didn’t actually know Olivia.

He had made a grave mistake. Any talk of separation from Olivia was entirely his fault.

His friends were right, he had been blinded by his familial ties, clouding his judgment and rationale.

He saw Grace Ziegler as pitiful and, out of respect for his mother, tried his best to protect and compensate her.

In order to provide his mother a worry-free life, he had often made exceptions for Grace.

What he hadn’t anticipated was that his kindness and consideration would be used as weapons by Grace herself, even stooping so low as to target his woman.

She seemed innocent on the outside, but turned out to be cunning.

Daniel couldn’t tolerate such insincerity and malice.

At that moment, Daniel felt the injustice Olivia had suffered. He derided himself, he was truly despicable!
