He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 325: 325 Unexpected Result

Michael too was coldly staring at Daniel, emotion evident in his eyes.

It was an emotion laced with fury and sharply-worded rebuke!

“If someone were to jeopardize the group’s interests for personal sentiments, how should we deal with this, Chief Daniel Marshall?”

With the calmest tone, Daniel responded indifferently, “If the evidence is solid, the person should resign. Do you, the Chairman, have irrefutable proof that someone is damaging the group’s interests? As we all clearly know now, Young Chief Matthew Marshall has caused Light Media to incur nearly a billion in losses.”

The rage was clearly visible on Michael’s face, but he was helpless against Daniel.

Even if Michael was angry, he couldn’t utter words that could have indeterminate consequences without thinking.

The scandal involving Jamie Wilson was definitely linked to Daniel, but he had no solid proof against Daniel. That was a fact.

Olivia Jenkins’ scandal was a product of Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall’s scheming. That was a fact too. The infighting within the Marshall family – if outsiders were to find out, it would be a laughing stock.

Marrying Olivia Jenkins brought endless unrest to the Marshall family. That woman was truly a curse!

And Daniel’s resolution to expel Matthew, that too was something Daniel was determined to accomplish. The look Michael shot at Daniel became profound, the depths of his eyes roiling with tumultuous fury.

Daniel was turning more and more ruthless, not leaving even a sliver of escape for his brother.

Michael remained silent, no decisions made. The directors started clamoring, “President Michael Marshall, just because it’s your son, you should not shield him. It’ll be hard for us to accept!”

“You must distinguish between private and public matters. A loss nearing a billion can’t be taken lightly.”

We all are awaiting your explanation. Don’t let us down.”.”

Michael’s eyes burned furiously. Daniel must be quite pleased at the moment. Daniel, thinking he had grown strong and dared to challenge him, didn’t put him, his father, in his eyes at all.

“Matthew Marshall will, effective immediately, step down from his position as the President of the Light Media and serve as the Chairman’s assistant at an annual salary of one dollar. This will be for a 20-year term. Regardless of whatever position Matthew Marshall takes up at Marshall Corporation, his annual salary will be one dollar. I will personally keep an eye on him. Is everyone satisfied with this?”

In an instant, the directors all exchanged glances.

No matter how dissatisfied they were, Michael was, after all, the anointed successor. As Michael had already punished Matthew and approached the matter so seriously, they had to give him some face.

There was silence for a moment before some directors responded, “No objections. But what about the mess at Light Media…”

Michael’s sharp gaze landed on Daniel,” Chief Daniel Marshall, are you confident to clean up the mess at Light Media?”

Daniel parted his thin lips, speaking with a dispassionate and cold voice, “Isn’t it an age-old practice? The younger brother messes up, the older brother cleans up after him. Chairman, you should keep a close eye on him. If he makes another mistake, there will be nothing left to offset. As the saying goes, ‘when a son is untaught, it’s his father’s fault.’ Worse still, you, the Chairman might have to resign!’

“Meeting adjourned!” Michael stared venomously at Daniel, and was the first to storm out of the meeting room.

The rest of the directors looked on, definitely not underestimating Daniel’s power.

Daniel’s power was steadily encroaching upon the chairman’s position. If not for the same last name, Michael’s position would indeed be in jeopardy.

Without sparing a glance at Matthew, Daniel left the meeting room.

The truth was apparent, Daniel had never seen Matthew, this so-called younger brother of his, as a threat. Yet the man kept flaunting his existence before him, ending up looking like a dancing clown, truly revolting!

All the board members had left, leaving only the uncle, James Marshall, who walked over to Matthew..
