He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Time to Take Care of Daniel Marshall

Olivia Jenkins served two pieces of bacon to Daniel Marshall, also dishing up a portion of braised fish for him.

Olivia’s lips curling up slightly at the corners, she gave Daniel a gentle look. “You’ve been having quite a hard time with me. You were a billionaire CEO, carelessly earning more money than all of us combined. I’ve been having you do this and that. It must feel like a step down for you.”

As she spoke, a shadow passed over Olivia’s eyes and she looked away, a touch of sadness in her gaze.

Daniel also served Olivia some dishes, his hand covering hers. “Even if it’s against my nature, I’d prefer to lead this life with you. Materialism can’t fulfill a hollow heart.”

Olivia nodded slightly, lifting her eyes to meet Daniel’s, “Let’s eat.”

“Baby, I love the cucumber salad you make, it’s delicious. The stir-fried pork with green beans is also good.”

Raising an eyebrow, Olivia let out a shy laugh, “Well, eat more then; my cooking will get better with time.”

“Honey, I believe in you!”

Beyond everything else, Olivia felt a simple bliss in her life.

Material abundance truly can’t fill a void heart!

Here, there is no scheming, no troubles, just a tranquil lifestyle!

…

A huge marble table at Beverly Hills was only occupied by Alexander and Michael Marshall for dinner.

Such a big house, yet it’s so desolate!

Michael had a loss of appetite. After taking a few bites of his meal, he put his chopsticks down, giving his father a thoughtful look.

A few seconds later, Michael complained, “Dad, you should control Daniel. He has abandoned his responsibilities at Marshall Corporation to run off to the countryside. At this rate, he’ll be led astray by Olivia Jenkins.”

Alexander slightly raised his eyelids, casting his son a cold glance, “Haven’t you ever been to the countryside? Haven’t you lived in the countryside when you were young? I used to play in the mountains and catch fish from the streams growing up and felt very happy. So now that you own billions worth of property, you look down on rural lifestyle? Do you think you’re better than everyone else?”

The slight change in Michael’s facial expression indicated his discomfort, “Dad, that’s not what I meant.”

“I understand what you meant. But let’s let Daniel decide for himself. His life choices are his to make. Even though he doesn’t stay at the Marshall Corporation, hasn’t he always handled the corporation’s affairs? Have there been any issues with the corporation in his absence? Who said the CEO has to be in the office all day?”

Dissatisfied, Michael frowned and pursed his lips.

After a few sips of soup, Alexander glanced at his son and spoke in a stern voice, “Daniel went to Harmony Village to work on public welfare. He represents the image of Marshall Corporation. Marshall Corporation may be successful, but we can’t just have people associate us with wealth. We need to be seen as human too.

Our success wouldn’t have been possible without our partners and the public’s support. It’s only right for Marshall Corporation to give back to society. Michael, you need to have a broader perspective and not limit yourself to the present.

We used to take Daniel to experience life in the countryside when he was young. The Marshall family isn’t brought up only to enjoy luxury, but also to understand hardships. Do you think Matthew Marshall, who was pampered since childhood, can endure hardship? Matthew has a narrow view of the world, which lies in part with the way he was raised.”

Michael’s face darkened, “Dad, if you like the countryside so much why don’t you move back there?”

Alexander’s eyes, burning with intensity, briefly flashed with a touch of icy sharpness, “If you could handle Marshall Corporation, would I still need to stay in Serene City? Do you think James Marshall is the only one with ambitions within Marshall Corporation? Do you think he doesn’t have a support system behind him? As the family empire grows, you guys just won’t let me rest easy.”

Silent, Michael left the dinner table, rushing upstairs.
