Chapter 402: 402: The Heir Can Only Be Daniel Marshall

The old man’s sharp gaze bore into his son, his voice heavy with implication. “I’ve told you before, human intentions are unpredictable, and even what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. Real or fake, fake or real, nothing deceives us more than the human heart. If you allow yourself to be clouded by suspicion, you blind yourself to the truth.”

Lips pressed together, Michael wanted to speak but didn’t.

The old man’s gaze, bright and unfathomably deep, held a hint of coldness underneath. “I hope you aren’t being soft. I hope you see the truth. Olivia Jenkins has been defamed and accused of infidelity time and again. Don’t you see through it yet?

The actions against her are actually directed at Daniel. If she hadn’t married Daniel, who would care about her? Who would bother meddling in her affairs? Who would go to such lengths to harm someone uninvolved?

Olivia is a smart girl and a good match for Daniel. The Marshall Family needs a granddaughter-in-law like her. You can put aside your prejudices against Olivia Jenkins. Stop being swayed by rumors.”

Feeling upset and conflicted, Michael replied coldly, “Understood.”

“The doctor says Matthew can be discharged from the hospital. Tomorrow, after his discharge, send him and Bella Thompson back to their hometown for convalescence. If they don’t understand limits, if they can’t stay out of trouble, let them stay there permanently. I don’t want to see them.”

Michael lifted his gaze to the old man and said with a stern look, “Dad, this is too much. It’s not fair to Matthew.”

The intense gaze of the father and son collided in the air, clashing like swords. “Before Matthew’s accident, I had discussed with him the possibility of studying or working abroad. Bella Thompson was welcome to accompany him.

Their affluent lifestyle wouldn’t change, even abroad. But who knew, two days later, he would be injured, requiring surgery and recuperation. Why don’t you ask your dear son what he wants? What are his ambitions? Hmm?”

Caught off guard, Michael’s eyes enlarged as he pressed his lips together in a tight line.

The old man pointed at his son and yelled, “You call me biased, you claim I’m being unreasonable, why don’t you consider what they’ve done? How many times have I forgiven them? Do I need to watch them tear each other apart before you realize the crisis?

Are you not aware of Bella’s underhanded actions happening behind the scenes? Are you unaware that this family has been disrupted because of her?

Because Olivia is clever, Bella can’t get to her, and the retribution has been surfacing in Bella and her son’s lives instead. Swap Olivia for a weaker woman, she’d have left the Marshall Family long ago.””You feel the mother and son are being treated unfairly; don’t Olivia and Daniel suffer as well? Hmm? If you’re a good father, you should convince Matthew and Bella to leave Serene City and move abroad.”

“Let me be clear: Daniel is the heir to the Marshall Corporation. Matthew and Bella have no right to interfere. Those aspiring to usurp authority can only die with their ambition.”

“You can’t handle Sebastian Thompson. Next time, I will deal with him personally. I won’t allow strangers to meddle in Marshall Family affairs, let alone attempting to dictate our actions.”

“If Matthew and Bella insist on staying in Serene City, and I discover them using insidious methods against Daniel again, I won’t show mercy. Michael, you handle it, I’ve told you as much.”

Michael’s expression turned grim, his brows furrowed, “Once Matthew recovers from his injuries, I will send him and Bella abroad.”

Suddenly, the telephone in the study rang.

The old man hit the speaker button, “Speak!”

“Sir, the Madame and Sebastian Thompson are here to see you.”

“Refuse them!”
