Daniel Marshall gazed at Olivia Jenkins with his profound eyes. “Wife, what are you thinking?”
Olivia stated frankly, “If Matthew Marshall has been playing the victim, intentionally hurting himself to win my sympathy, then why are these petty tricks all he’s using against me? From what I can see, suspicion, stalking and sparse attacks don’t phase me, but they’ll make Matthew suspicious. He won’t stand to gain anything from it. Theoretically, it’s not worth the risk.”
A thin smile tugged at the corner of Daniel’s mouth. His gaze filled with admiration and tenderness. “Wife, who do you think is the mastermind behind Olivia pondered for a few seconds before admitting, “At first, I thought Bella
Thompson was behind this.”
However, after giving it some more thought, and considering Bella’s reaction in the hospital room, I don’t think they would be so conspicuous. Unless they’re extremely reckless and careless about the consequences, they wouldn’t provoke us again and again.”
Especially Matthew, he can’t even catch his breath under pressure. How could he think of just stalking and harassing me so simply? They hate me to the bone and they are consumed by revenge. If they want to strike, they should be trying to take me down for good.”
Daniel nodded slightly, “Your analysis is reasonable. I don’t think it’s the Thompson family because they are not known to be so roundabout. It’s probably someone trying to stir up trouble and intentionally intensify the conflict in the Marshall family. Whoever that person is, they’re cunning and calculating.”
Olivia lifted her eyes, looking at Daniel, “Husband, who do you think it is?”
Daniel pulled Olivia close, his eyes inscrutable and profound. “It is definitely someone who knows the Marshall family very well. For now, I’m not sure who it is.” “Husband, do you have any suspects in mind?”
“No leads.”
Olivia looked at Daniel with a skeptical eye, “Can’t I know about it? Does the
Marshall family have other enemies? Could it be Benjamin Johnson?”
Without hesitation, Daniel said, “Marshall Corporation has acquired many businesses, so there might be a few people who hold a grudge. It could be Benjamin Johnson. He did say that he will not let me off easily, but it could also be someone else entirely.”
Olivia pouted, “Well, that’s as good as saying nothing.”
Daniel gave Olivia’s face a little peck, “Darling, stop overthinking. These few days, you need to be extra careful. Don’t leave Valerie Howard’s sight. I believe our enemy will come for you soon, and will likely show their face.”
Oliva sighed, “Alright, I’ll wait for them to walk into the trap, then I’ll have a good talk with them.”
Before, there were reports that Matthew and his cousin James Marshall had been meeting for meals roughly every two weeks, sometimes with other relatives as well.
At that time, Daniel didn’t pay much attention to it, considering family meals to be rather normal. He himself was not much for socializing and wouldn’t participate in gatherings with relatives. Thus, it seemed quite natural that the relatives did not invite him to join them for meals.
Now that he had heard Olivia’s analysis, and considering Matthew and Bella’s reactions, the first person who came to mind was his cousin, James Marshall.
What Daniel remembered most was that this cousin was among those who supported dismissing Matthew as the CEO of Light Media. If his cousin had any sinister motives, then his cousin was hiding them extremely well!
Whether in the family or in the Marshall Corporation, this cousin often appeared aloof and indifferent, typically flying under the radar. He was easily overlooked.
From the surface, James Marshall always seemed easy-going and content. He was never known to wrestle for power or demand attention.
Daniel’s face, as finely sculpted as if by divine intervention, bore no expression, giving no hint to his current thoughts. Once he returned to the Marshall Corporation, Daniel paid a visit to his cousin’s office first.
With his deep and calm gaze, Daniel studied his cousin.. Then, in a low and unhurried voice, he began, “Cousin, aren’t you going to visit Matthew in the
hospital?”
