Worry flitted through Bella Thompson’s eyes as her eyebrows knitted together.

Daniel Marshall had approached her too, promising that he could help her and Matthew Marshall reclaim the inheritance of the Marshall Corporation, but Bella didn’t trust Daniel.

The Marshall Family was a large slab of meat, and Bella wasn’t willing to believe that Daniel would be content just to nibble at the edges.

Who could endure the torture of being so close to such a substantial reward, and yet not try to grab it for themselves?

Despite promising to help them, who knows what Daniel’s real intentions were—to use her and Matthew to drive out James Marshall and swallow the Marshall Family whole?

She had to be wary of Daniel and avoid falling into his trap.

Bella sternly warned her younger brother, “Sebastian, you must remain calm and not be swayed by others. Listen to me, only by holding your breath can you accomplish great things. Don’t have dealings with any other members of the Marshall Family. Don’t give them the opportunity to retaliate against us.”

Sebastian replied in a perfunctory manner, “Sis, I understand. I won’t mess around—I know my limits.” 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦

Nevertheless, Bella continued to warn him, “Daniel is likely harboring evil intentions; stay away from him. We can handle our affairs on our own without his interference.”

“Sis, I got it. I definitely will act accordingly; you just focus on staying with Matthew.”

After ending the call, Bella still felt uneasy.

Hopefully, Sebastian can stay calm and avoid rushing things.

Looking at his mother, Matthew suddenly said, “If we can’t change the situation, Mom, mutual exploitation isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but we have to be prepared. We must have leverage over Uncle.”

A lightbulb went off in Bella’s head as she looked at her son in surprise, “The cigarettes, did Uncle give them to you? Have you been conspiring with him all along?”

Matthew smiled nonchalantly, “As long as it benefits us, exploitation isn’t necessarily bad. We still have Dad—Dad won’t abandon us. If the interests of the Marshall Family are impacted, Grandpa won’t stand by. And with Grandpa to keep Uncle in check, he wouldn’t dare hurt his own grandchildren.”

After a moment of reflection, Bella understood what her son was planning. A satisfied grin tugged at the corners of her mouth.

“My son, you’ve finally seen the light. You didn’t disappoint me.”

“Mom, let’s rest and recuperate. It doesn’t matter what happens outside these walls, it won’t concern us. Retreating to the countryside really was a good choice.”

Bella nodded with satisfaction, her smile deepening.

Upon seeing the rumors online, Adam Howard immediately went to Pearl Lake villa for a visit.

Adam was also quick to contact the family patriarch and explain the whole situation, providing supporting evidence.

Michael Marshall’s bodyguards had just arrived at the villa by Pearl Lake when the patriarch called them back, ordering them not to disturb Mrs. Olivia Marshall.

The media crowded around Pearl Lake and the entrance of Jenkins Group were also suddenly dismissed.

Martin Wallace had already obtained the necessary evidence and, acting as Olivia Jenkins’s attorney, he issued a legal letter. Olivia also reported the sordid rumors as a crime.

Jordan Bennett, who rarely responded to rumors, exceptionally recorded a video which was exclusively reported by Serene City Daily.

“For the scandal between Mrs. Marshall and me, which has repeatedly been maliciously slandered, I’ve pursued legal action before, yet some individuals remain defiant and lawless. I am responding for the last time, and anyone speaking nonsense after this will face my wrath.

Last night, Mrs. Marshall and I indeed had hotpot together, but there were four of us at the table. As in the photo, Adam Howard and my girlfriend, Abigail Anderson, were present. I wish not to use public resources unnecessarily, but I must clarify—I am just friends with Mrs. Marshall.”

I refrained from revealing the identity of my girlfriend because I don’t want her to be under pressure or affect her work. But, these unethical media outlets have severely impacted our lives, and I will definitely sue them to the very end.”
