Chapter 286: 286: A Great Disaster Approaches
Michael Marshall’s face looked terrible, his deep eyes smoldering with suppressed anger.
“Dad, we must kick that vixen out of the Marshall family. Otherwise, Daniel won’t wake up to the truth and will continue to be oblivious of his actions.” Mr. Alexander Marshall slightly raised his eyebrow, giving his son a glare.
Straight after, Mr. Alexander Marshall’s icy gaze fell on Bella Thompson.
Ever since his son returned to Beverly Hills, Mr. Alexander Marshall felt something was amiss.
In the past, he never cared nor intervened in Daniel’s affairs. But lately, he’s been taking a surprisingly keen interest.
Has his son finally grasped the responsibilities of being a father?
Or has he got some ulterior motives in his mind?
Could someone be whispering into his ear, trying to sow discontent?
“Michael Marshall, why are you so upset? Has that girl Olivia Jenkins offended you? Or has her sharp tongue irked you?”
Even though the question was posed at Michael Marshall, Mr. Alexander Marshall directed his stare at Bella. She immediately felt discomfort crawling all over her skin. However, she continued to feign ignorance and maintain her calm.
Listen, Mr. Alexander Marshall’s way of addressing Olivia Jenkins has changed. It is much more polite than before. That must mean he has changed his perception of her or intends to favor her!
Bella Thompson’s mind was thrown into an uproar, but she maintained her calm demeanor, not revealing the jealousy and hatred roiling in her heart.
Suppressing his anger, Michael Marshall retorted with righteous indignation,
“Dad, she took 2 billion from Daniel and abused the loophole in the agreement. You didn’t punish her at all. Do you really want to indulge her until she creates an infernal mess in the Marshall family? Are you just going to sit back and watch as she leads our family to ruin? Other than seducing men, what else can that wretched girl do?”
In that moment, Mr. Alexander Marshall felt as if a bucket of cold water was thrown over him.
He felt extreme disappointment at his son.
His son’s view was utterly biased. He failed to acknowledge the abilities of Olivia Jenkins and severely underestimated her.
“Wait until she’s back, then you can ask her yourself about what she is capable of.”
“Dad, are you also bewitched by her? Didn’t you used to have some serious criticisms about her?”
Looking annoyed, Mr. Alexander Marshall furrowed his brows, his stern face looking as sharp as a knife. “Michael Marshall, don’t let your emotions obstruct your judgment. In this aspect, you are definitely not as good as Daniel. Don’t jump to conclusions, even things you see with your own eyes could be deceptive. The human heart isn’t easy to discern.”
Bella Thompson remained silent, her heart shuddered upon hearing his words. Bella didn’t dare glance at the sharp-witted Mr. Alexander Marshall, she had a guilty conscience.
Michael Marshall’s main goal was to get Olivia Jenkins out of the Marshall family. He didn’t want to argue with his father, so he held his tongue.
Manipulative women like her can’t be allowed to stay in the Marshall family.
Unless this contemptible woman doesn’t give him any reason to do so, he certainly won’t let her off easily.
Mr. Alexander Marshall also fell silent and started considering the dynamics of the Marshall family.
Some things that girl Olivia Jenkins had said had struck a chord with him.
While he is still alive, he can suppress all the undercurrents of unrest.
But what happens after he’s gone is a different story.
Not only will the members of the Marshall family fight among themselves, the distant relatives definitely won’t sit still either.
It’s not good for one person to hold all the power. Only when there’s fair competition, with each individual showing their own strengths, can a balance be achieved. This is the principle behind palace intrigue.
It’s time to elevate that girl Olivia Jenkins’s status. Bella Thompson shouldn’t be allowed to call the shots anymore.
By giving Olivia Jenkins a prominent position and validating her status, he could also send a strong message to their distant relatives. Even if there are disputes within the Marshall family, it’s not their place to voice their opinions.
Daniel walked into the living room, his arm draped around Olivia Jenkins.
It seemed like disaster was about to strike, as all eyes were on Daniel and Olivia
Jenkins..
