He Clings to Me Every Night

Suddenly, James Marshall’s face turned terrifyingly grim. In his deep-set eyes, rage surged like a raging fire, “Damn you, bitch! No matter where you are hiding, I will hunt you down and kill you!”

As soon as James finished speaking, he immediately received a call from Daniel Marshall.

Despite his rage, wishing more than anything to have Daniel’s life, at this moment, James could only contain his anger and first tend to Daniel’s call.

Daniel’s voice was cold and tranquil as he began to speak.

“I apologize for disturbing you in this manner, I trust you’ve noticed the accusations made by Grace Martinez, our former PR manager at Marshall Corporation. Management is taking these allegations very seriously. At present, we’ve initiated an urgent inquiry. Please return to the Kingdom of Dale immediately to assist.”

James sneered, his expression tinged with a hint of mockery, “What have you told her? Where have you hidden her?”

Daniel’s voice was as calm and inscrutable, “Are you admitting to an affair with Grace Martinez? Is her pregnancy an irrefutable fact? Given your allusion, is it that despite being in the Kingdom of Dale, you are still monitoring the company? What are your intentions? Please explain.”

Barely suppressing the rage within himself, James vehemently retorted, “Daniel Marshall, stop pretending. You’re just trying to kick me out of Marshall Corporation so you can monopolize it—so much for the contemptible bastard that you are!”

Daniel maintained his cool, the handsome lines of his face betraying no emotion, “We’ve already alerted you over the phone and released an official announcement on our corporate platform, asking you to return promptly for the investigation. We will get to the truth of this for Ms. Martinez and the public—we hope you will cooperate.”

“Daniel, we’ll just wait and see!”

“Given your currents state of agitation and fury, I have reason to suspect the authenticity of Ms. Martinez’s accusations. You detest me so much—I must question your ulterior motives. Uncle, in times like these, I suggest you remain calm and think carefully about how to clarify your relationship with Grace Martinez. If my aunt needs reassurance, I’d be happy to help.”

“Hypocrite! I don’t need you to meddle in my affairs—I’ll come back.”

“Great, I’ll be waiting for you!”

After Daniel hung up the call, James, overcome with anger, forcibly swept all the items off his desk onto the floor.

Immediately, the office was a mess.

Despite all his careful strategizing, James never anticipated that he would fall prey to a scheme set by a lowly woman, and be splashed with such filthy water.

If he had known how unreliable this woman was from the start, he would have dropped her long ago.

Angry as he was, James was doing everything he could to find a remedy. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he dialed Sebastian Thompson’s number.

“Keep a close eye on Daniel and his men, we need to find Grace Martinez.”

Sebastian Thompson flashed a smirk, “Okay!”

“I’ll be back in a few days.”

“Women can be venomous, I warned you before—they can be used but never trusted. I would never imagine you’d fall into the hands of a woman and end up in such a state.”

“Enough with that now, just find that bitch as soon as possible. Don’t let her blabber anymore.”

“Alright, I’ll do my best. That kid, Daniel, probably has a countermeasure in place, he’s been on guard against us from the start—finding someone isn’t going to be easy!”

“If Daniel eradicates me, it’s equivalent to cutting off your right-hand man, you guys won’t be any better off either.”

Sebastian’s smile deepened, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

In the end, James was doing all this for himself.

Put bluntly, it all comes down to mutual exploitation—no one here is really that noble.
