He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 601: Better to Part Ways Early

Adam Howard was drinking alone, ignoring Benjamin Johnson.

Suddenly, Benjamin Johnson’s phone rang.

Immediately, Adam Howard slightly lifted his eyelid, glancing at Benjamin Johnson, “Did Olivia Jenkins send you a message?”

Benjamin Johnson nodded, and then replied to Olivia Jenkins’ apology message, expressing his concern.

He did get punched, which hurt quite a bit, but he wasn’t injured. He wanted to reassure Olivia Jenkins.

A sharp, cold sneer crossed Adam Howard’s face, “Do you like Olivia Jenkins? Why are you always after other people’s women? Why do you degrade yourself to be the other man?”

Benjamin Johnson calmly retorted, “You and Daniel Marshall are the same, your brains are swollen!”

“Show some respect, keep your distance from Olivia Jenkins. Stop meddling in other people’s marriages,” Adam snapped.

“If their marriage was strong, no one could cause any trouble. If a slight breeze could turn it upside down, that would mean they are not suitable for each other and better off separated,” Benjamin replied.

“You’re such a bastard, you really need to get beaten up!”

“Daniel Marshall deserves a beating too. Why don’t you go beat him up? I am no less than Daniel Marshall. My all-around conditions are not less than his. I’m just not as lucky as he is. His marriage to Olivia Jenkins is pure luck,” Benjamin retorted.

Adam Howard didn’t argue, picked up his drink, tilted his head back, and guzzled it down.

Tonight was really frustrating!

“Daniel Marshall might not understand Olivia as much as I do. I can see that she is having a hard time. I don’t think Daniel Marshall understands what love is, he just acts upright but is actually a jerk,” Benjamin spoke while texting Olivia.

“…”

“I do like Olivia. But I can see, she doesn’t like me, she considers me as a friend. She is like a small sun. Being with her feels warm, happy, comfortable, and relaxed.

If Daniel Marshall fails to cherish her, he has no right to blame others. If Daniel Marshall dares to betray Olivia, I will not sit idly by, I will definitely take her away from him,” Benjamin declared.

Adam Howard thought that Benjamin Johnson’s words made some sense.

After chatting with Benjamin Johnson for a few minutes, Adam Howard felt that Benjamin seemed to have changed. He didn’t seem as hostile as he used to be.

Perhaps Benjamin Johnson was not as disgusting as he imagined he would be.

Maybe this was why he could be friends with Olivia Jenkins.

Adam Howard lifted his beer can, toasting to Benjamin Johnson.

Benjamin Johnson gave a knowing smile, clinked cans with Adam Howard, and then downed his beer.

…

After breakfast, Olivia Jenkins, carrying a suitcase, drove off in her car.

Auntie Jane faithfully relayed her words to Daniel Marshall when he came home, “The madam said she is going on a business trip.”

Daniel’s handsome face showed no expression, only the fatigue from staying awake all night. He didn’t react and simply went upstairs to wash up.

Marshall Corporation-

As soon as Grace Ziegler saw Chief Daniel Marshall, she instantly brewed a cup of coffee and delivered it to the CEO’s office.

It was strange, Secretary-general Saunders didn’t stop her, didn’t even look at her, merely engrossed in her work.

Assistant Howard was also in the office, he also showed no reactions.

After placing the coffee down, Grace Ziegler did not immediately leave the CEO’s office. Instead, she gazed charmingly at Chief Daniel Marshall with a gentle and attractive look, her beautifully made-up face blooming a slight smile, “Chief Marshall, thank you for yesterday; I feel much better now.”

Daniel Marshall did not even look at Grace Ziegler, fixating on the documents on the table instead, “That’s good.”

Martin Wallace, standing outside, knocked on the door, “May I come in?”

Hearing this, Daniel Marshall lifted his gaze towards Martin Wallace at the door.

Daniel hadn’t invited Martin Wallace, yet he showed up uninvited. Suddenly, a cloud of foreboding formed in Daniel’s heart.

“Please come in! Secretary Ziegler, you may leave now.”
