He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 981
Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Seizing the Evidence Chapter 981 -981: Seizing the Evidence “`
All the shareholders had arrived, dressed uniformly in black suits.
At the meeting, both Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall were present.
The only person without a seat was Olivia Jenkins.
Olivia Jenkins approached her father-in-law, her usual sorrowful demeanor replaced by a sharp gaze directed at Bella Thompson, “Dad, I have something very important to discuss.
Would you prefer to talk about it in front of all the shareholders or privately among ourselves?
Who gave the person without any shares in Marshall Corporation the right to sit in the conference room?”
Michael Marshall glared at Olivia Jenkins with a scornful and contemptuous look, “Get out!”
“If anyone dares to tell my wife to get out, I’ll make sure they regret it!”
The menacing and domineering voice instantly filled the room, and everyone, except for Olivia Jenkins, instinctively turned to look at the entrance.
Not only did they see a very much alive Daniel Marshall, but they also saw the imposing figure of the old patriarch.
...
In an instant, all eyes were wide with shock, their expressions resembling those of someone startled, frozen and baffled.
Bella Thompson’s face turned pale, and her eyes brimmed with panic and fear.
A myriad of questions swirled in her mind, leaving her feeling helpless, and her legs involuntarily trembled.
“What is the purpose of this shareholders’ meeting?
Whom are you trying to oust?
Do you all think that both Daniel and I are dead?
Do you think we’re easy to bully?
Do you want to trample my daughter-in-law underfoot?
James Marshall, who allowed you to return to Serene City?
Do you still have shares in Marshall Corporation, hmm?”
The old man spoke sternly, leaving no room for anyone to respond.
With just a cold glance, the patriarch could intimidate the entire room.
Conscious of their wrongdoing and the fact that the old patriarch was in good health and Daniel was still alive, the plot was doomed to fail, prompting James Marshall to voluntarily leave the conference room.
Bella Thompson followed quickly behind James Marshall, thinking that slipping away quietly might allow her to evade disaster, but the old patriarch called out to her in an instant.
“Except for you, stay behind.
It’s about time we settled the family accounts and clarified some matters.
Ella Charles, come in and confront the situation face to face.
And Joseph Charles, you should speak up, too.”
Upon hearing Joseph Charles’s name, Bella Thompson’s body stiffened abruptly, her face turning a terrifying shade of white.
Seeing Joseph Charles, who was supposed to be dead, come back to life caused Bella Thompson to stumble and fall to the ground.
Matthew Marshall immediately stood up and helped his mother to her feet.
Although Bella Thompson had the support of her son, she was still in a state of severe panic, continuing to shake uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the other shareholders knew it was time to make their exit.
Given that Daniel was still alive and the old patriarch was in good health, there was no longer a need for a shareholders’ meeting, and it was clear that the patriarch was handling family matters.
Watching so many people bully his mother, Matthew Marshall rose to her defense, furiously denouncing each person present as despicable and shameful.
Michael Marshall’s face also changed drastically, his eyes dimming as he said, “Matthew Marshall, shut up.
You have no place to speak here, and you have no right to accuse anyone.”
“Dad…”
The old man: “Just listen quietly.

It’s something you ought to know.”
Daniel Marshall took out a voice recorder but before he could play it, Bella Thompson lunged forward to snatch it away.
Olivia Jenkins pushed Bella Thompson aside and sneered, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser.
Dad, you understand now, don’t you!”
Michael Marshall was silent, staring at Bella Thompson with disbelief.
The old patriarch signaled to the bodyguard with a look, and he immediately restrained Bella Thompson.
Daniel pressed the play button, and out came Bella Thompson’s voice.
The recording conclusively proved that she had instructed Joseph Charles to falsely accuse Ella Charles of having an affair.
