“Mr. James Marshall, you cannot just presume someone guilty based on your assumptions. Whether there was betrayal or not, Uncle knows very well. The Corporation is already investigating, and we will surely give the public a truthful resolution.”
Edward Marshall’s face turned even darker, his eyes showing a fierce glint as he glared at Daniel Marshall, “What do you mean by that? Who exactly are our own people? You defend that wretch every chance you get, Daniel, what are your intentions? Were you the one who harmed James Marshall?”
Daniel, his body exuding a powerful aura, fixed a sharp gaze on Edward, “Mr. James Marshall, I should be asking you about your real intentions. You have always distanced yourself from us, so why have you become so familial recently? What game are you playing? Or perhaps, what are you plotting on behalf of your son?”
Furious beyond belief, Edward raised his voice and shouted, “How dare you! You are so full of yourself!”
Michael Marshall reminded him in a cold voice, “Mr. James Marshall, please lower your voice, don’t disturb my father’s rest. If you intend to start a quarrel, please leave. Who is right or wrong, all will be revealed after the investigation.
You treasure your son like a rare gem, but isn’t someone else’s daughter equally precious? As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. If James Marshall hadn’t been fooling around, how would someone spread rumors about him? Slander has its consequences!”
Edward’s rage was clearly visible on his face, he heatedly said, “We are all family, why create such an unnecessary scene, inviting others to laugh at us? Regardless of whether that wretch’s claims are true or not, we should all stand together to prevent her from causing trouble, rather than aiding her plot to harm Marshall Corporation.”
The corners of Daniel’s mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile, his eyes full of mockery, “Mr. James Marshall, please stop dragging the Marshall Corporation into this at every opportunity. The Marshall Corporation has nothing to hide or be ashamed of, so where is the joke?
I understand that you are protective of your son, but that doesn’t mean you can use the Marshall Corporation to shield and defend him at will. Even if Grandfather is injured, he will not condone an injustice.”
Edward glared at Daniel viciously and pointed at him, “If I find out that you have been intentionally plotting against my son, Daniel, I will not spare you.”
Daniel’s piercing gaze, filled with intense coldness, stared back at Mr. James Marshall.
Daniel’s face was hard and sharp, like a knife’s edge, thrusting straightforwardly at Mr. James Marshall. His dark voice broke out through his teeth, full of deterrence, “If I find evidence proving that your son deliberately tried to take my life, no matter who you are, I will not spare you.”
With a cold harrumph and having gained nothing, Edward stormed out in fury.
Michael stared at his son in shock, the words echoing in his mind, “Daniel, do you have evidence to prove that James Marshall was trying to harm you? Was it the terrifying car accident last time?”
Daniel nodded.
Michael cursed angrily, “Bastard! To talk about us being family, they are no better than wolves at heart, they don’t deserve to be called family!”
Looking at his father, Daniel’s handsome face remained emotionless, and his heart was also undisturbed.
He had long grown tired of this faux camaraderie.
Since his father decided to let Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall return to Serene City, they were once again on opposing sides.
In the Marshall Family, familial love was a pathetic thing. He had already seen through it and didn’t harbor any expectations anymore.
“Grandfather has taken his medication and is asleep now. Olivia Jenkins and I are leaving.”
Michael nodded slightly, “I am alone anyway, I will stay here for the night.”
…
Daniel was holding Olivia Jenkins’s hand as they walked out of the hospital.
Suddenly, a speeding car with two blinding headlights appeared, causing an intense glare that momentarily blinded them.
Reflexively, Daniel’s mind flashed with the blinding light and an image of a pool of blood.
