Chapter 692: 692: Never Give Up

“So shocking!” Bella Thompson’s face wore an incredible expression, her eyes wide open in astonishment, even shaking her head.

Bella used to manage Beverly Hills, she would have known if her subordinates were embezzling.

Because of this, there were many of her spies in Beverly Hills, many who sought her favor eagerly.

This wicked woman is such a great actress, on par with the best of them.

This woman is absolutely disgusting!

Olivia Jenkins and Daniel Marshall glanced at Bella Thompson with scornful eyes, the corners of their lips slightly curved up in a sarcastic smirk.

After having a look at the account books and evidence provided by Martin Wallace, Michael Marshall handed them to Bella Thompson, “Do you have any excuses?”

Bella Thompson flipped through a few pages, quickly offering a defense: “Husband, I really had no idea, I thought that the housekeeper has been serving Beverly Hills well for ten years now, his working ability is outstanding, and I…”

Before Bella Thompson could finish her sentence, Michael Marshall fiercely slammed his hand onto the table, frightening Bella into silence. Her body involuntarily began to tremble, her eyes filled with terror.

“You’ve been in charge of Beverly Hills all along yet you claim to be ignorant of all this. Are you just stupid? Given your cunning, Bella Thompson, do you really think you can fool me?”

Bella Thompson felt wronged being berated by Michael Marshall, tears welling in her eyes, “Husband, I really didn’t know. I have always trusted the housekeeper, and dad trusted him too! I admit my management skills are lacking, and I’m a bit foolish. From now on, I won’t have anything to do with Beverly Hills anymore, let Olivia take charge.”

“From now on, you don’t need to go to the Marshall Corporation either, nor appear in public as Mrs. Marshall. You are only suitable to stay obediently in Joyful Hall and pray for the Marshall Family.”

Having said his piece, Michael Marshall stood up instructing, “Notify the housekeeper and accounts manager to come to my study, you all also go to the study, we’ll solve this issue today.”

Just before going upstairs, Michael Marshall fiercely stared at Bella Thompson, completely disregarding her grievances and harshly accused, “You don’t need to go anywhere and don’t appear before me either, so as not to annoy me to death. You are good for nothing except causing trouble, and you have made the Marshall Family a mess. You are the person least worthy of the Marshall Family!”

Her eyes misty with tears, but Bella Thompson could only endure it, hiding the hatred in her eyes.

The hand under the dining table was shaking uncontrollably in fury, her knuckles were turning white.

She wouldn’t lose. She wouldn’t admit defeat!

Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins, that bitch, won’t be able to ruin her!

She still had a chance to take her revenge!

Michael Marshall, this wretch, without a shred of marital affection, their marriage was a sham, Bella vowed to remember this. When her son and she would take over the Marshall Corporation, she would make him rue the day.

…

In the face of the evidence, the housekeeper and the accounts manager knelt down, admitting their mistakes, and begged for mercy.

Wanting to keep the family scandal from spreading, Michael Marshall merely demanded the embezzled belongings to be given back and asked for their voluntary resignation, without pursuing legal responsibilities.

Daniel Marshall had predicted his father would just take a mild stand, in reality, his father was still considering his brother Matthew Marshall’s status, saving face for Bella Thompson in public.

Whether it was his father or the Marshall Family, Daniel felt extremely disappointed. He didn’t want to have anything to do with the messy Marshall Family anymore, his only duty being to sweep everyone out of Beverly Hills.

Daniel’s cold, hard gaze fell on his father, “I heard Matthew’s leg is better now, and it doesn’t affect his walking, grandfather had hoped before his accident that Matthew would go abroad. Father, you should consider letting him go.”
