He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 842 - Negotiations
Chapter 842: Chapter 842 Negotiations
A week later, a man claiming to be a well-known paparazzo named Christopher came to the Marshall Corporation, asking to meet with Daniel Marshall.
Christopher had not made an appointment, so the receptionist politely declined.
In an instant, Christopher’s sly gaze fixed on the receptionist, and in a lowered voice, he said, “If Chief Daniel Marshall refuses to see me, then I will have no choice but to reveal Mrs. Olivia Marshall’s scandal.”
Upon hearing this, the receptionist froze momentarily.
Regaining composure, the receptionist scrutinized the paparazzo journalist before her.
She had heard of the infamous Christopher, had even indulged in the scoops he had blown wide open, and they seemed to be quite sensational.
...
With a scandal involving Mrs. Olivia Marshall at stake, the receptionist did not dare take the matter into her own hands, fearing she would bring trouble upon herself, she immediately notified the Chief Secretary of the CEO’s office.
Soon, there was a response from the CEO’s office, and the receptionist allowed him through.
CEO’s Office—
Facing the unfathomably deep, dangerous aura emanating from Daniel Marshall, Christopher couldn’t help but grow nervous, his breathing slightly erratic.

Thinking of the possibly lucrative rewards, Christopher garnered the courage to bravely negotiate with Daniel Marshall.
“Chief Daniel Marshall, you must be aware of the recent scandals involving you and Mrs. Olivia Marshall, it’s probably not without basis, as they say, a paparazzo’s nose is the sharpest,” Christopher said.
Daniel Marshall leisurely lit a cigarette and began to smoke, his sexy thin lips parting slightly to exhale faint rings of smoke.
Squinting his eyes, Daniel Marshall looked down disdainfully at the paparazzo before him; his hawk-like eyes radiated an intense chill, making Christopher shiver despite the absence of cold.
Daniel Marshall said nothing, seemingly uninterested. Fearing his windfall dreams would shatter, Christopher became anxious and took the initiative to confess, “While following a top celebrity in Cross City, I accidentally discovered Mrs. Olivia Marshall’s close relationship with another man. I wonder if you’re interested?”
There was indeed emotion in Daniel Marshall’s eyes, a scornful gaze upon Christopher.
That emotion was laced with disgust, contempt, and mockery.
“Spreading rumors, I will definitely hold you legally responsible. Don’t believe me? Just try!” Daniel Marshall’s voice was low, his speech slow, yet filled with intimidation.
Daniel Marshall’s finely chiseled features were expressionless, inscrutable, revealing nothing of what lay in his heart, his presence unsettlingly dark, causing Christopher’s pupils to contract, his facial expression to twitch slightly, his nerves taut.
After a few seconds of silence, Christopher feigned composure, and although turmoil raged within him, his face still wore a nonchalant, charming smile, “Chief Daniel Marshall, aren’t you afraid of being cuckolded? You might want to take a look at this video first.”
Daniel Marshall took a drag of his cigarette, exhaling a swirl of lingering smoke.
With just a glance at the paparazzo’s video, Daniel Marshall recognized the man with Olivia Jenkins to be Benjamin Johnson.
From the angle the paparazzo had shot, Olivia Jenkins and Benjamin Johnson seemed quite intimate.
This was the kind of sensationalism and creative editing the paparazzo loved to engage in.
Even though he thought so, a fire of uncontrollable anger surged within Daniel Marshall; his expression grew cold, and his unfathomable eyes flickered with a dark menace.
Even then, Daniel Marshall remained silent, showing no expression, nor any intention to negotiate a price, leaving Christopher unable to read him and feeling a sudden and inexplicable panic.
In an instant, Christopher reminded him again, “Chief Daniel Marshall, if this video is made public, you and Mrs. Olivia Marshall will surely become trending news. It might even impact the Marshall Corporation. Please, think thrice before acting, and make the right choice.”
“The right choice?” In a flash, Daniel Marshall’s dark gaze became like a black hole, as if capable of swallowing a person whole.
