He Clings to Me Every Night

“I want to see Grace Martinez.”

Without hesitation, Daniel Marshall said, “Once the agreement is signed, I’ll pass on your message to Grace. Whether she wants to see you or not, I respect her decision.”

“Very well!”

“She has been with you for eight years. That’s long enough that even if you were raising a dog, you wouldn’t ruthlessly kill it off. Yet you’ve been extremely cruel to her. Your actions are worse than a beast’s. As a man, I truly look down on you!”

James Marshall smirked coldly, retorting, “The pot calling the kettle black. You’re no better than me!”

“Uncle, you’re mistaken, I’m the victor! Time will prove everything. Please keep your eyes open until the end. It’s still early, but you can start preparing yourself. Tonight, the Marshall Corporation will make an announcement. Oh, and I’ve already prepared your press release. Remember to publish it on time.”

James Marshall’s face darkened alarmingly, but he felt helpless. This time, he was firmly pinned down by Daniel.

Daniel Marshall shouldn’t be too complacent too soon. Just you wait. As long as he had a breath left in him, he would never let Daniel off. He would never forget the humiliation and disgrace of this day.

…

Daniel Marshall called Olivia Jenkins, but she did not pick up.

Daniel sent messages to Olivia, but she never replied.

Only Martin Wallace called him a few times on behalf of Olivia, his legal representative, but only to urge him to sign the separation agreement.

Unable to bear it any longer, Daniel yelled, “Are you trying to die?”

On the other end of the phone, Martin chuckled, “Daniel, why don’t we organize a meeting, and you two can discuss the terms of your separation face to face.”

Daniel’s eyes flashed with imaginary blades and sparks, “I’ll say this for the last time, I won’t separate, and I won’t divorce. The only way is if one of us dies! If you bother me again, I’ll make you vanish.”

“Daniel, we’re friends- why don’t you help me out here, don’t say such definitive things.”

Suddenly, the phone went silent.

Looking down, Martin saw that Daniel had hung up the call.

When he tried to call back, he found he’d been blocked.

Martin didn’t get angry, instead, a smirk spread across his face. For some reason, he felt incredibly good about this!

It served Daniel right. If he didn’t get some punishment, how could Olivia’s rage subside!

Soon after, Martin called Olivia, “I’ve tried everything from gentle persuasion to forceful pressure, but Daniel still refuses to sign the separation agreement. He says the only way is for one of you to die. He’s even blocked my calls, treating me like an enemy.”

Olivia’s voice was very calm, “You’re my attorney, I don’t care what method you use, all I want is the result I desire. The process doesn’t matter, neither does his attitude or views. I also don’t want to hear any more news about him.”

“Is there really no room for reconciliation?”

“Can a broken mirror be made whole again?”

Pressing his lips together, Martin said, “I understand what you’re trying to say and I respect your thoughts. I’ll continue to advance this case.”

…

Daniel bought a bouquet of red roses, intending to enter the N&N Hotel.

At the entrance of the hotel, Daniel was stopped by the security personnel, “Chief Daniel Marshall, I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to enter.”

Daniel’s eyes, as dark as bottomless pits, flickered with anger. His voice was chilling as he asked, “So, only I am not allowed in?”

“The company has rules against disturbing our guests. We ask for your understanding!”

“Please relay a message to Jordan Bennett; that I’ve noted this. He should tread carefully, lest he falls into my hands.”

The security personnel saw the rage burning in Daniel’s eyes and a cold sweat broke out in his palm, causing him to frown.

…

During the break, Valerie Howard came over and whispered, “Olivia, he’s waiting for you at the entrance…”
