Chapter 607: 607: Cleaning Up the Scum
He Clings to Me Every Night
James Marshall was immediately taken away by the investigative team as soon as he got off the plane, and no one was allowed to see him.
In a rush, the investigative team immediately started questioning James Marshall.
James Marshallâs eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule as he stared at the team leader, Jimmy Gordon. âI want to see Daniel Marshall. I also want to see my father. If I canât see them, I wonât say a word.â
Jimmy Gordon stared back sharply at James Marshall. He and Daniel Marshall had anticipated James Marshallâs tricks and were ready for them.
âEven if you donât speak, we have gathered enough evidence. If you want to rot in jail, Chief Daniel Marshall says he will accommodate you. We didnât disclose everything to you, fearing you would refuse to return to the country.â
James Marshallâs face darkened, his cool eyes radiating violence.
He then forcefully slapped the table, his intimidating voice cutting through the silence, âWho do you think you are to threaten me!â
Unfazed by James Marshallâs rage, Jimmy Gordon spoke calmly, âI am the Deputy CEO of Marshall Corporation, leading this investigation. Follow the proper procedure and cooperate.â
After shooting Jimmy Gordon a fierce glare, James Marshall shut his eyes, pressing his lips together tightly.
Jimmy Gordon remained patient and unprovoked, directly playing a recording from Grace Martinez.
On hearing the sound, James Marshall instantly opened his eyes, fuming with anger and accusation, âAre you all blind? This despicable woman is tarnishing my reputation!â
Ignoring James Marshallâs hasty reaction, Jimmy Gordon proceeded to play another recording.
After listening to it, James Marshall sat down, his eyes revealing a murderous glowing, coldly staring at Jimmy Gordon, âWhat does Daniel mean? Does he want to boot me out of the Marshall Corporation? Heâs nobody! I am his superior!â
Jimmy Gordonâs gaze was so sharp it seemed to pierce James Marshall. âYou plotted an accident to kill Daniel. How do you suppose heâd react? If we go to court, youâll be charged with attempted murder at least. Grace Martinez is pregnant, thatâs a fact. If youâre unwilling to admit the child is yours, there are other means to prove it.â
Jimmy Gordon then brought out a brown envelope and placed it in front of James Marshall. âThese are enough to ruin your reputation and provide sufficient grounds for your wife to file for divorce. You wonât benefit even one bit. Without the support of your in-laws and the Marshallâs, James, what grounds do you have to stand in Serene City? Without the Marshall Family, you are nothing!â
ââ¦â
âI advise you to retreat while you still can, while Daniel hasnât changed his mind yet.â
James Marshall was visibly upset, his anger was apparent.
At that moment, he realized that he had fallen into Danielâs trap.
He could kill Grace Martinez.
After some hesitation, James Marshall said, âI want to see my father.â
âNo!â
The flame in James Marshallâs eyes seemed to be jumping out, âWhat does Daniel want?â
Jimmy placed a document in front of him, âTake a good look. If youâve made your decision, sign it. You will never be part of the Marshall Corporation again. Sell your shares to Daniel at market price. As for your affair with Grace Martinez, this is something you will have to deal with on your own. Otherwise, everything in this brown envelope will be revealed.â
Along with his intimidating voice, Jimmy played another video.
âYou might have forgotten which women youâve been involved with or what youâve said. But donât worry, these videos and contents of this envelope will help you remember.â
Infuriated, James Marshall grabbed the brown envelope, abruptly throwing it at the screen on the wall.
Without changing his expression, Jimmy calmly said, âChief Daniel Marshall said that heâs more than willing to clean up the Marshall Familyâs mess. He also sympathizes with Mrs. Anna Marshall. If you want to save face, your only choice is to agree to this deal with Daniel. Otherwise, he wonât be able to help you uphold your precarious family life.â
