He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Supporting Olivia Jenkins

Even if she had the guts of ten thousand braveries, Grace Ziegler wouldn’t dare enter the CEO’s office right now.

Grace knew that her colleagues were mocking and ridiculing her, but she ignored them all.

“Secretary Grace, you think you’re so great, right? Why don’t you go ahead then!”

“Exactly!”

“Certainly, she is scared now.”

“Really takes Chief Daniel Marshall for a fool, she should look in the mirror and assess herself.”

“Boring, let’s get back to work!”

The secretaries dispersed to their workstations with a unified derisive laugh.

Grace’s eyes revealed a reticence as they changed color, stirred deeply but remained unrevealed.

She’ll show them. One of these days, they’ll wish they could reach her.

…

In the CEO’s office –

Daniel Marshall stared at Adam Howard with a fierce cold glare. His frosty voice seemed to have burst from an icy blade, “Last night, did you know that Olivia Jenkins had asked Martin Wallace to be her attorney? What exactly did you guys discuss?”

Adam Howard’s lips lifted into a cruel sneer and he replied indifferently, “Olivia is your wife. If you don’t even understand your own wife, how can we? We were simply chatting and enjoyed some seafood, nothing else was spoken.”

“She wants a separation.”

“Olivia is a woman with her own thoughts. She is smart and should clearly know what she wants. When she made such a decision, I believe she must have thought it seriously.”

Daniel’s gaze grew more furious as they seemed to side with Olivia, his handsome features darkening unpleasantly.

Even though Adam Howard was also quite angry, as a friend, he still felt obliged to raise a question, “Daniel, do you really think you are blameless? Don’t you feel that you’re doing something wrong? Olivia prefers to give up than continue with you, there must be some reason. You should really self-reflect. Whether it’s about Charmy Bennett or Jay Bennett. Did any of them not upset Olivia? Plus, your own family. Isn’t there something unpleasant about them too? Olivia is a human being, not a god. Just because she doesn’t voice out doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any opinions, nor does it mean she can remain indifferent forever.”

“Some things are rather pointlessly clear, and too candidly said. She remains silent to maintain some dignity for your marriage. Otherwise, how can such a tarnished marriage continue? But indeed, you’re the one who screwed it all up.”

Adam Howard’s cold eyes glared at Daniel. “Cut the crap, what’s your point?”

“There’s one thing, you’re very clear about it deep down inside, but you never mention it. Charmy Bennett has been dead for five years now. Have you really moved on from the pain?”

“If you think you can calmly look back at your painful past then you and Olivia should have a child. If you can’t, then I vouch for Olivia’s decision.”

“Moreover, this time around, I’m on Olivia’s side. Even if you want to punch me for it, I just got to say it, you’ve been a real jerk lately. Just because of your mother, you’ve lost all sensibility. That’s really not worthy of sympathy.”

Daniel’s eyebrows knitted, glancing coolly at the mention of ‘Grace Ziegler?’

“You think about it yourself. Anyway, I think you’re pretty annoying right now. Speaking of which, last night, Olivia and Benjamin Davis were just having a drink together, and you had such a big reaction. This is really unfair to Olivia. The proverb ‘only a high official can set fire, while others are not allowed to light a lantern’ seems appropriate here.”

A flicker of emotion ran across Daniel’s icy face.

Adam Howard didn’t speak any more and left the office.

Daniel tried to call Olivia, but she didn’t pick up.

Daniel Marshall hurriedly left his office in haste.
