He Clings to Me Every Night

In a rush, the investigative team immediately started questioning James Marshall.

James Marshall’s eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule as he stared at the team leader, Jimmy Gordon. “I want to see Daniel Marshall. I also want to see my father. If I can’t see them, I won’t say a word.”

Jimmy Gordon stared back sharply at James Marshall. He and Daniel Marshall had anticipated James Marshall’s tricks and were ready for them.

“Even if you don’t speak, we have gathered enough evidence. If you want to rot in jail, Chief Daniel Marshall says he will accommodate you. We didn’t disclose everything to you, fearing you would refuse to return to the country.”

James Marshall’s face darkened, his cool eyes radiating violence.

He then forcefully slapped the table, his intimidating voice cutting through the silence, “Who do you think you are to threaten me!”

Unfazed by James Marshall’s rage, Jimmy Gordon spoke calmly, “I am the Deputy CEO of Marshall Corporation, leading this investigation. Follow the proper procedure and cooperate.”

After shooting Jimmy Gordon a fierce glare, James Marshall shut his eyes, pressing his lips together tightly.

Jimmy Gordon remained patient and unprovoked, directly playing a recording from Grace Martinez.

On hearing the sound, James Marshall instantly opened his eyes, fuming with anger and accusation, “Are you all blind? This despicable woman is tarnishing my reputation!”

Ignoring James Marshall’s hasty reaction, Jimmy Gordon proceeded to play another recording.

After listening to it, James Marshall sat down, his eyes revealing a murderous glowing, coldly staring at Jimmy Gordon, “What does Daniel mean? Does he want to boot me out of the Marshall Corporation? He’s nobody! I am his superior!”

Jimmy Gordon’s gaze was so sharp it seemed to pierce James Marshall. “You plotted an accident to kill Daniel. How do you suppose he’d react? If we go to court, you’ll be charged with attempted murder at least. Grace Martinez is pregnant, that’s a fact. If you’re unwilling to admit the child is yours, there are other means to prove it.”

Jimmy Gordon then brought out a brown envelope and placed it in front of James Marshall. “These are enough to ruin your reputation and provide sufficient grounds for your wife to file for divorce. You won’t benefit even one bit. Without the support of your in-laws and the Marshall’s, James, what grounds do you have to stand in Serene City? Without the Marshall Family, you are nothing!”

“…”

“I advise you to retreat while you still can, while Daniel hasn’t changed his mind yet.”

James Marshall was visibly upset, his anger was apparent.

At that moment, he realized that he had fallen into Daniel’s trap.

He could kill Grace Martinez.

After some hesitation, James Marshall said, “I want to see my father.”

“No!”

The flame in James Marshall’s eyes seemed to be jumping out, “What does Daniel want?”

Jimmy placed a document in front of him, “Take a good look. If you’ve made your decision, sign it. You will never be part of the Marshall Corporation again. Sell your shares to Daniel at market price. As for your affair with Grace Martinez, this is something you will have to deal with on your own. Otherwise, everything in this brown envelope will be revealed.”

Along with his intimidating voice, Jimmy played another video.

“You might have forgotten which women you’ve been involved with or what you’ve said. But don’t worry, these videos and contents of this envelope will help you remember.”

Infuriated, James Marshall grabbed the brown envelope, abruptly throwing it at the screen on the wall.

Without changing his expression, Jimmy calmly said, “Chief Daniel Marshall said that he’s more than willing to clean up the Marshall Family’s mess. He also sympathizes with Mrs. Anna Marshall. If you want to save face, your only choice is to agree to this deal with Daniel. Otherwise, he won’t be able to help you uphold your precarious family life.”
