Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Long-planned
Upon hearing that his father had woken up, Michael Marshall rushed to the hospital immediately.
Seeing his father struggling to adapt, appearing childlike, a bitter pain twisted in Michael’s heart. His emotions stirred, making him feel uneasy.
“What did the doctor say? Has your grandfather passed the critical stage?”
Daniel Marshall patted his father’s shoulder, as if to comfort him, “Grandfather is out of danger now, but the subsequent treatment and recovery will take a lot of effort, and the results might not be as satisfactory as we hope. Regardless, I will do my utmost to ensure grandfather’s recovery.”
Michael furrowed his brows, his deep and profound gaze meeting Daniel’s tired one, “It will be fine here with me around. You guys are also tired, go back and rest.”
Daniel nodded slightly, “We have a VIP ward ready, Olivia Jenkins and I will just rest there for a while. It will be dawn soon, so we won’t bother to travel back and forth. We have to discuss grandfather’s condition with the expert team today, there’s a lot to do.”
“Alright, as you wish.”
…
After carefully attendance by the family and immense efforts of the expert team, a week later, the old man was discharged from the ICU.
The old man could recognise people now, but his speech was still inarticulate and his body was feeble.
The tripartite inspection agency released the report on the damaged car, Adam Howard contacted Daniel as soon as he could.
“Daniel, all three inspection agencies have certified that the car was in proper condition, and the collision seems to have been sudden and unexpected. It looks like the car accident had nothing to do with the vehicle itself, but more likely due to the driver.”
Daniel’s deep eyes were sharply lit, “Has there been anything unusual with the driver’s family recently?”
“I’ve had people on it, the reactions of the driver’s family are so far normal, they’re still grieving. A thorough check showed that their financial situation is typical, it does not seem like the driver was bribed and deliberately caused the accident. It feels like an accident, but also like a long-planned conspiracy.”
Daniel always believed that his grandfather’s car accident was not an accident, but a premeditated act.
The other party had covered it up well and since he was not in the country, they succeeded in fooling him.
“Adam, you and Martin Wallace go and talk with the driver’s family about the compensation. Follow the usual procedures. The car had a hefty insurance policy, treat the driver’s family kindly.”
“Got it, Martin and I will handle it properly. I also suspect the driver was innocent.”
Daniel’s voice was low and powerful, his hawk-like gaze possessed an unrivalled calm, “Get ready. At seven o’clock tonight, I am going to hold a press conference.”
“Daniel, are you going to announce your grandfather’s condition?”
Daniel was exuding a grim atmosphere, his handsome face was full of confidence and arrogance, his gaze gloomy, “Yes! Since they’ve started the game, I’ll play along.
Tomorrow, when the stock market opens, there will definitely be fluctuations in stock prices. You and Oliver Johnson get the funds ready as much as possible to lift the stock price of the Marshall Corporation. Take all preventive measures to safeguard the stock market, to prevent anyone from stirring up trouble.”
“I’ll follow your instructions and make arrangements immediately.”
…
On the first day after the New Year break, Daniel held a press conference. It was an extremely unprecedented event, and many media attended with curiosity and doubt.
Daniel’s expression was very serious, as if he was troubled, instantly sparking speculation in the media.
This press conference may be announcing bad news. This was a rare statement from the Marshall Corporation.
Daniel surveyed the reporters in the room with hawk-like, piercing eyes, and with a solemn voice, announced, “An unfortunate event occurred before the New Year. The former chairman of the Marshall Corporation was involved in a car accident. Fortunately, the surgery was successful, my grandfather has already passed the critical stage and is recovering well.”
