He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Going Back to Pack Up Luggage

Lily Lee’s eyes involuntarily narrowed, her pupils contracted, her face twisted slightly.

However, Lily Lee continued to smile, masking her turbulent emotions, and strived to appear calm.

“I’ll deal with my own affairs. No need to bother, Chief Daniel Marshall. I must be going now!”

Lily Lee got up, her expression changing rapidly, seemingly infused with an element of mockery.

Her departure was not panicky; she maintained her grace and elegance. But the haste of her turn gave away her emotions.

Daniel Marshall’s eyes remained sharply probing as if piercing through everything, yet his handsome face revealed no emotion, leaving others guessing.

…

Back in the car, Lily Lee immediately made an international call.

“Mother, our plan has been exposed. Daniel Marshall showed me a photograph of you holding a little boy. He asked me to pass you a message – if you want your son to be safe and sound, don’t play tricks on him. He won’t spare your son.”

The voice on the other end of the line was low and faint, “I understand. You should return, and do nothing further.”

“I’ll be booking the earliest flight back. Also, how is your health, mother?”

“I’m fine, we’ll talk when you get back.”

With a click, the call ended. Lily Lee understood. Daniel Marshall was in control of their information. Moreover, he had seized the initiative. Mother’s secret was now in Daniel Marshall’s hands, and they dared not act rashly.

After some thought, Lily Lee accessed her work email.

Suddenly, she felt a chill; she became livid, overwhelmed.

Daniel Marshall hadn’t lied, and she had miscalculated. President Jacobs was indeed in M country at this moment, and Tyson had initiated an investigation into the Prosperity Square Technology incident.

Tyson had also issued her a directive, instructing her to return immediately and cooperate with the investigation.

The one bad thing she had done in her life had now become the handle to topple her. Lily Lee was both angry and annoyed.

Suffused with gratitude towards one side and career prospects on the other, she had hesitated but eventually chose to repay her dues, inadvertently embarking on a thorny journey.

Suddenly, Lily Lee broke into a gloomy laughter.

Having interacted with Grace Ziegler, she knew the woman was calculative and ambitious, undoubtedly a chosen pawn. Lily Lee believed Grace would not disappoint.

While this pawn was still in play, she would wait and watch. Daniel Marshall couldn’t remain complacent for long.

…

Olivia Jenkins hadn’t returned to Pearl Lake Villa for three days.

Today, she came back.

Receiving a call from Auntie Jane, Daniel Marshall hurried back.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Honey, let’s talk. I’ve asked Simon Jackson to design a new wedding gown for you. It will be ready before the wedding.”

Olivia acted as if she hadn’t heard, continuing to pack her belongings.

Quickly, Daniel Marshall grabbed Olivia’s hand. She was compelled to stop, raising her gaze to look at him coldly, “Is our issue merely the matter of a wedding gown? Daniel Marshall, I’m tired. There’s no need to proceed with the wedding, or redesign the gown. Please leave and stop interfering with my packing.”

Agony flashed in Daniel’s eyes as he softly coaxed Olivia,” Honey, let me explain. I’ve found out. It was Mr. James Marshall’s birth mother who plotted to drive a wedge between us.”

“There’s no need for any explanations, Daniel Marshall. Show some dignity and don’t hinder me!”

Olivia’s voice was soft, but Daniel only felt an icy chill as if it were blowing from a freezer.

“Honey, I won’t let go. Please don’t leave, okay? Those despicable people want to trap us, to separate us. If you leave now, you’ll be giving them exactly what they want. They wish to see me brought down.”
