Michael Marshall’s muscles twitched violently around his eyes, his darkened face harboring the foreboding of an imminent storm and he raised his voice to reprimand Olivia Jenkins.
“A deceitful woman of your kind, is there a need for me to fabricate anything? The moment Daniel left Serene City, you became restless and lost your sense of propriety. The Marshall Family will absolutely not tolerate a woman like you. You will leave, immediately!”
Olivia Jenkins responded coldly in a flat tone, “Dad, why are you starting to sound like a shrew? ‘One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black,’ this saying holds true!”
Michael Marshall caught the sarcasm directed at him from Olivia Jenkins, she went off at a tangent with her implied insult. This contemptible woman was indeed taking things too far, he would not tolerate it, “You…”
Before he could say anything more, Olivia Jenkins had already hung up on him.
Instantly, Michael Marshall was seething, anger blazing in his eyes.
Without a moment of hesitation, he commanded his bodyguards to kick Olivia Jenkins out of the villa by Pearl Lake.
In Matthew Marshall’s VIP hospital room, Bella Thompson was snickering.
Regardless of whether the rumors about Olivia Jenkins and Jordan Bennett were true, it was a great opportunity. She was certain that Michael Marshall wouldn’t stand aside, he would definitely expel Olivia Jenkins from the Marshall Family and concurrently, cleanse the household.
No one was there to stand up for that wretched Olivia Jenkins with Daniel not in Serene City. What could she possibly do?
Matthew Marshall was still on intravenous fluids, but his spirits were visibly lifted.
His sharp eyes were on his mother, questioning her, “Mom, did you have the paparazzi fabricating this scandal?”
Bella Thompson looked surprised, slightly displeased, “Son, your mother isn’t that foolish! You said we should lay low and let events play out, and I’ve adhered to that.”
Matthew Marshall was still concerned, reminding her, “Keep an eye on uncle. Don’t let him cause trouble or it will backfire on us. Olivia Jenkins is well-liked. If grandpa discovers that the Thompson Family is involved, he will hold grudges against us.”
The mention of her brother made Bella Thompson slightly panicky.
Bella Thompson was also not sure if her brother could hold back.
Filled with unease, Bella Thompson immediately called her brother, questioning him, “Did you have anything to do with this scandal?”
Sebastian Thompson laughed, “Sister, I am avenging you and Matthew. Just wait and watch, that contemptible girl will surely be banished from the Marshall Family.”
Suddenly, Bella Thompson’s expression changed, her seething anger clearly written on her face, “Sebastian, you’ve caused trouble, you’ve implicated Matthew!”
“Sis, how can you blame me? I was only trying to help you!” Sebastian Thompson responded displeasedly, his eyebrows knitted together and his smile fading, replaced by a look of anger.
“If the old master finds out this has something to do with the Thompsons, he won’t favour Matthew. I won’t be able to return to the Marshall household, do you understand?” Concerned about her son’s future, Bella Thompson was quite agitated, her tone intensified.
“Sis, don’t worry, I won’t involve you or Matthew, whatever happens, I will bear the consequences alone. Although it was my idea, I had someone else speak to the paparazzi, I wasn’t directly involved. Moreover, all I did was leak the news of Olivia Jenkins and Jordan Bennett having dinner together. How the story is written and hyped is entirely up to the paparazzi, it has nothing to do with me.”
Bella Thompson heaved a sigh, her raging fury somewhat subsided, “Sebastian, I’m not blaming you, but when dealing with that contemptible Olivia Jenkins, we must outsmart her, otherwise we’ll be the ones at a loss. I know you meant well, but I don’t want anything happening to you. I’m worried they might retaliate against you.”
“I get it. I’ve already got a backup plan. This fire won’t burn us.”
Probing, Bella Thompson asked, “Have you contacted James Marshall?”
“Sis, you stay with Matthew and focus on his recovery, don’t worry about anything else.”
Hearing her brother say this, Bella Thompson instantly understood – her brother had formed an alliance with James Marshall.
