Chapter 804: 804 Are You Jealous that I'm Getting Married?

Daniel Marshall had no intention of keeping her by his side; was his kindness toward her only born of guilt?

For that woman, Daniel Marshall was going to send her abroad?

Were his words, so pleasantly spoken, merely to placate her?

Grace Ziegler’s eyes widened in shock, and instinctively, her hands clenched tightly into fists. Despite having many emotions, she dared not show them, continuing to appear fragile, sensible, and pitiable.

“Daniel, I never dared to dream of such things. Since I was young, I knew my mother had it hard, and I’ve tried my best, thinking that when I grew up I could repay her, spend more time with her.

I don’t have any long-term plans; I just hope life gets better and better. When my injury heals, I’ll go back to working at Marshall Corporation. You’ve already been kind enough to me; you don’t have to feel guilty or blame yourself.

I can’t keep spending your money. I will work hard to repay the debt I owe you. My mom taught me from a young age that one must take responsibility for their actions and strive to do what they can. What you’re suggesting is beyond what I can handle.”

Daniel Marshall’s gaze was sharp as if he could see through all pretenses, and he said seriously, “I’ve always believed that studying abroad is the best option for you. You don’t need to worry about finances, nor about your mother; I can make sure you won’t have any concerns.

You might not have dared to dream it before, but now you can. You have this opportunity. We get along well, and I’m glad to have a sister like you. I can take care of you like an older brother.

Compared to Serene City, I think it’s safer for you abroad—it’s your best refuge and the best I can offer you. So, I hope you think it over carefully. Marshall Corporation has branches overseas, where you can learn a lot.”

Grace Ziegler’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Daniel Marshall had made it very clear; he had no improper thoughts about her, he only saw her as a sister, and he made it apparent that she should not harbor any other feelings.

He was still insisting on her going abroad.

Was it because he was afraid she would affect that woman’s mood?

Did he find her an eyesore?

Did he want to send her far away?

Grace Ziegler felt wronged and wanted to cry, her eyes reddening.

Daniel Marshall’s eyes flickered, and he frowned, “Enough of this for now, let’s eat first. You have time to think over it. My grandfather is quite stubborn, and I can’t guarantee that I can always protect you.

My grandfather only likes my wife as his granddaughter-in-law, he is very fond of her, and he wouldn’t stand to see her wronged. My grandfather has weathered decades of storms, acting decisively and imperiously; you should choose a wise path.”

Daniel Marshall had spelled it out for her clearly, and Grace Ziegler understood, yet she still felt aggrieved. She was also reluctant to give up everything she had.

…

At Jordan Bennett’s bachelor farewell party, Daniel Marshall sat quietly, drinking, without interacting much with others.

After greeting a round of friends, Jordan Bennett sat down next to Daniel Marshall.

“You don’t need to pay the bill, but you shouldn’t drink like that, either. Are you trying to get yourself drunk?”

Daniel Marshall lit a cigarette and started smoking, his sensuous lips slightly parting to release a swirl of smoke, his piercing eyes narrowed as he stared at Jordan Bennett, “Congratulations on your double celebration! But you don’t have to be so stingy, right? It’s just a few drinks; are you already begrudging them? If you’re short on baby formula money, just say it; I can sponsor you.”

Jordan Bennett wasn’t offended, joking back, “Are you drinking gunpowder? I’m getting married; are you jealous?”@@novelbin@@

Grace Ziegler, Giving Jordan Bennett a look, Daniel Marshall picked up the stem glass, lifted his head, and downed the remaining red wine in one go.
