Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Olivia Jenkins Meets Her Match
Edward Marshall was still glaring at his son in anger, “You’ve lost your shares, and distanced yourself from the Marshall Corporation. Even if you have plans, what kind of storm can you really stir up? Do you really think Daniel is a fool?”
Bearing the pain on his face, James Marshall lowered his head and responded, “Dad, relax. I won’t just let this go, I will take my revenge, and I won’t let Daniel off the hook.”
“Lust is a dangerous game. I warned you, but you wouldn’t listen, and now look, you’ve fallen prey to a woman! You talk big, but can you really bring Daniel down?
That boy is as competent as his grandfather. After all, the old man has a keen eye; he’s groomed his successor well. If we were to go by Michael Marshall’s capabilities, the Marshall family would have crumbled by now. It was the old man’s foresight to not rely on his incompetent son and to instead groom his grandson for succession… On this, I am inferior to him.”
James Marshall reassured him, “Dad, we still have a chance. They may seem to have gained an upper hand, but they are essentially just a disorganized mess. We should ostensibly support Matthew, let them engage in a civil war, and then we could benefit from their disputes.”
They didn’t have many choices left, so they had to let them fight amongst themselves until it becomes unbearable.
Even if they couldn’t get the Marshall Corporation, they would at least disrupt their lives to the point where it was unlivable.
“Go apologize to your wife, sweet talk her a little; we’re still going to need her help.”
James Marshall nodded, “I understand, once I wrap things up in Serene City, I’ll return to the Kingdom of Dale. This scandal has blown up everywhere so returning here would not be wise. It would be better to lay low for a bit. Sebastian Thompson has always been an itch to scratch. Sooner or later, he’ll take action. With this piece of the puzzle, I can control everything in Serene City from abroad.”
Edward Marshall sighed, not speaking, but tacitly agreeing to his son’s decision.
…
Michael Marshall didn’t return home, but stayed at the hospital to keep his grandfather company.
Bella Thompson gave him a call, passing on James Marshall’s pleas for forgiveness. Michael Marshall didn’t clarify James’ circumstances, assigning all responsibility to Daniel.
Michael Marshall also told Bella Thompson to stay out of it.
Bella Thompson got the hint and understood Michael Marshall’s intentions. While he wouldn’t get involved himself, the goal of father and son was the same – to thoroughly remove James Marshall from the Marshall Corporation.
As for James Marshall’s scandal, the father and son duo must have known about it early on and surely made ample preparations.
Kicking James Marshall out was naturally agreeable to Bella Thompson, but the idea of Daniel accumulating increased shares in the Marshall Corporation and becoming the de facto controller, made her uneasy.
She and her son certainly wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
After some thought, Bella Thompson decided to call her younger brother.
“Has Daniel recently gone to find that bitch, Ella Charles?”
“Sis, Daniel has been to Kyoto, but there doesn’t seem to be any other ulterior motive. That bitch carries the scandal of an affair on her back. Given Daniel’s current status, he’ll not want anyone to bring up his mother’s indiscretion in public, not to mention face the shame of it.
“I still worry, keep an eye on his every move. With James Marshall leaving the Marshall Corporation, we are apparently up against Daniel now. Merely relying on Michael is not enough, we must make the first move. How’s that little secretary doing recently? This chess piece is ready for use.”
“According to our covert investigation, that little secretary is indeed ambitious. It seems she aims to unseat Olivia Jenkins and replace her. This morning, Daniel ordered her transfer to the PR department for some reason. However, one can imagine how an ambitious person would feel.”
Bella Thompson chuckled with joy, “Sebastian, keep an eye on this chess piece. I love ambitious people the most, this show will definitely be thrilling. This time, Olivia Jenkins should have met her match. I’ve had enough of Olivia’s arrogance and it’s time she is taught a lesson.”
