He Clings to Me Every Night

James Marshall’s wife and her family didn’t make any statements, leaving the outside world guessing without any substantive information.

So far, Grace Martinez hadn’t released any messages or shown her face.

Yet, news of James Marshall’s extramarital affair was still fermenting, and the audience was still discussing it lively.

Was it not as simple as a failed pregnancy coercion leading to a fallout, Grace Ziegler derided and ridiculed inside.

Truth is, Grace Ziegler had hypocritically sent a concerned condolence message to Grace Martinez, hoping to inquire some news.

Grace Ziegler waited for a long time, but Grace Martinez didn’t respond. She tried calling Grace Martinez, but the phone was off.

Who would have thought Grace Martinez was having an affair with a higher-up in the company, Grace Ziegler was also surprised and bewildered. She continued to mock Grace Martinez for being pretentious, acting noble, but unordinary in her approach.

Grace Ziegler reported on the event without missing a beat, and continued to watch its progression.

Hesitating for a moment, Grace Ziegler called Chief Daniel Marshall again.

The call went through, but it rang for a while without being answered.

Grace Ziegler was disappointed, seemingly disconsolate. Just as she was about to hang up, the call was unexpectedly answered.

Suddenly, Grace Ziegler’s eyes lit up. Like fireworks ignited, her expression became vivid and colorful, her cheeks adorned with a sweet smile and she gently said, “Chief Daniel Marshall, sorry to interrupt!”

Daniel Marshall calmly replied: “Secretary Grace Ziegler, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing much, just a simple greeting. I heard former chairman was hospitalized, you must be worried, Chief Daniel Marshall. I wish the former chairman a speedy recovery. Previously, Assistant Howard answered your phone, and all of us in the secretariat hope the former chairman will be safe and sound.”

“Thank you for your concern, my grandfather’s injury is healing quite well.”

“That’s good, I won’t bother you anymore, Chief Daniel Marshall.”

As soon as her words fell, there was no sound at the other end of the phone.

Secretary Grace Ziegler checked her phone, Chief Daniel Marshall had already hung up the call, there was no problem with her phone.

Chief Daniel Marshall hung up without a trace of hesitation, not even saying an extra word of courtesy. This made Grace Ziegler feel a sense of loss.

Even so, she would not be discouraged. If Grace Martinez with her kind of charm could attract James Marshall, Grace Ziegler believed she could also climb up relying on her capabilities.

…

In the evening, Edward Marshall came to the old man’s ward.

Seeing Mr. James Marshall there, Daniel Marshall wasn’t surprised. It was evident that Mr. James Marshall was here to argue vehemently to protect his son.

Olivia Jenkins advised them softly, “Grandpa is already asleep, please keep your voices down.”

Edward Marshall was agitated, glaring at Olivia Jenkins unhappily.

A cold light flashed in Daniel Marshall’s eyes, he stared at Edward Marshall, “Mr. James Marshall, is there anything that can’t be discussed tomorrow? My grandfather is already asleep, it’s better not to disturb him.”

Edward Marshall sternly said, “Let’s talk here, your grandfather can sense your actions, let’s see if you deserve the Marshall family.”

Michael Marshall gazed deeply at Mr. James Marshall, “If you want to ask about James Marshall’s affairs, please go back, Mr. James Marshall. Currently, the corporation’s investigation team is confirming the details of the investigation. If there are results, we will definitely announce them publically. Regarding James Marshall, Mr. James Marshall you should ask him first.”

“Can a few words from a woman prove anything? It’s clearly James Marshall being framed. That cheap woman wants money and is trying to blackmail people, you can’t be her accomplice.”

When Daniel Marshall didn’t smile, his handsome features always gave people a sharp impression. His cold eyes surveyed Mr. James Marshall passively.
