Daniel Marshall’s thin lips bore a sharp edge, his expression inscrutable and deep. “There’s no need to involve Adam, you alone can go. Don’t tip off the snake in the grass.”
Adam Howard frowned slightly, “Earlier, when you took the new car for a spin, did you notice anything suspicious?”
“The car I test-drove had no problems, but the one parked next to it may not be the same. Someone has driven it, which doesn’t guarantee safety. On the contrary, it’s easier to mislead people this way. The new energy vehicle project is something I spearheaded. If something goes wrong because of me, there will surely be people who will exploit this to attack me.”
Adam Howard’s eyes darkened, “I will keep a close watch on the new energy subsidiary, scrutinizing every detail.”
Daniel Marshall exuded a sharp air, “If I go, I might not see clearly, as they’ve done too good a job of covering up. Only if they slip up themselves can we catch them. If Adam steps in, they’ll cover everything up, making investigation difficult.”
Adam Howard spat irritably, “Wherever you go, there are always some assholes ruining things for others like cockroaches.”
Daniel Marshall spoke in a calm voice, “As long as I’m the CEO of Marshall Corporation, there will always be people causing trouble, be it openly or covertly.”
Adam Howard sighed and said, “Let’s go and eat, forget about all this for now.”
Daniel Marshall didn’t respond but dialed a number; his voice lowered, resonating like a cello, “Honey, have you finished your work? I’ll come and get you for dinner.”
On the other end of Jenkins Group, Olivia Jenkins’s voice was soothing, soft, and enchanting, “Dear, I’ve finished my work, you can come, I’ll wait for you.”
“Good, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
“Mmm, see you later!”
Daniel Marshall hung up and instructed Simon Howard to pull over.
Adam Howard, baffled, stared wide-eyed, “You’re kicking me out of the car now? Daniel, you’re so cold-hearted! You go for dinner, why can’t you bring me along?”
Daniel Marshall casually glanced at him, “Have you no shame?”
Adam Howard laughed teasingly, “Going on a date with sister-in-law? Have you decided to have a child?”
Daniel Marshall slightly frowned and narrowed his eyes at Adam Howard, “You’d be silent, no one would take you as a mute.”
“I can get out of the car, but you’d pay for my taxi and dinner!”
Daniel Marshall said in a deep voice: “Have dinner with Martin Wallace, and I’ll reimburse you.”
Adam Howard smiled triumphantly, “That’s more like it. I’ll call Martin to pick me up, anyway we are not far from his office.”
Daniel Marshall’s sexy thin lips curved as he stared at Adam Howard with a sharp gaze.
Adam Howard got out of the car, saying goodbye with a defiant grin, watching Daniel Marshall’s Rolls-Royce drive away first.
He could give up his role as a third wheel as long as the couple got back on good terms, as sweet as before. It would save him a lot of trouble.
He really hoped that Daniel and his sister-in-law might have a baby; perhaps everything would change.
Two too clever people, both with strong characters, a baby could be the mediator, a tool to balance them.
Hopefully, Daniel could see that soon!
…
Grace Ziegler didn’t see Chief Daniel Marshall until the next morning.
Even though she was filled with jealousy, Grace had no choice but to watch as the CEO’s secretary made coffee for Daniel and carried it into the CEO’s office.
After the secretary put down the coffee, she didn’t leave, but instead left a resignation letter.
Daniel Marshall’s sharp gaze swept the resignation letter on the table.
