Beverly Hills.

Bella Thompson got up and stood on the balcony, watching the old man practicing tai chi nearby.

Even though it was just like any other day, Bella Thompson felt that the old man seemed particularly handsome and spirited today.

Could it be because he had a particularly good night's sleep last night?

Has the pillow that bitch sent him worked?

Thinking about this, Bella Thompson wrinkled her brows, her thoughts drifting far away.

If that bitch Olivia Jenkins becomes the favorite, where would her and Matthew Marshall's positions in the Marshall Family be?

She absolutely cannot allow that bitch to take the lead, nor let her get in power.

Only if the old man loathes Olivia Jenkins, it would be entirely beneficial to her and her son, Matthew Marshall.

Lately, Yonder Group underwent a massive layoff, stirring up public speculation that there might be a significant issue.

Everyone was pessimistic about Yonder Group. It seemed to be heading for bankruptcy, and the old man was really ruthless, not granting even a single exit route.

Therefore, she could lose the lifesaver straw that is the title of the Marshal Family Mistress.

She couldn't just stand by and watch her efforts over the past two decades all go in vain.

Bella Thompson left the bedroom, specifically inquiring the housekeeper who took care of the old man.

The housekeeper informed her that the old man really used the pillow sent by Lady Olivia Jenkins last night and had a good sleep.

A little anxious, Bella Thompson acted as if nothing happened and went downstairs.

Walking into the chairman's office, Michael Marshall was surprised to see Bella Thompson.

Bella Thompson had waited there specifically for Michael Marshall, deliberately not putting on make-up, her face looking particularly haggard. She looked pitifully at Michael Marshall and said in a low voice, “my husband, it is time to return home. Father is worried about you, and I miss you too.”

Without responding to Bella Thompson, Michael Marshall just walked past her, not saying a word.

“My husband, do you wish for me to atone with my life? Is my one-time mistake not redeemable by our years of marital feelings? You can torture me, but can you stop behaving like this towards me? I've already given up my proud self-esteem, I've already fallen low into the dust. What else do you want from

Michael Marshall stopped in his tracks and turned around and looked coldly at Bella Thompson, “when you married me, you knew I had a son. How did you say it back then? You would love him like your own son. Did you? Could you? Did I force you to be his stepmother?”

“Even though I detest him, I have never harbored intentions to kill or abandon him. I didn't want to see him, so I arranged for him to live with his grandparents. But you, you wanted to kill my son. How could you face me and ask for my forgiveness?”

Bella Thompson shed tears, looking pitifully at Michael Marshall, “I am also a mother, if I don't look out for my son, what will happen to him? Isn't Matthew Marshall pitiful? I don't intend to kill anyone, Daniel Marshall already has so much, I just want him to share a little with Matthew Marshall.”

Michael Marshall looked furious, glaring at Bella Thompson as he angrily rebuked, “Aside from not having the Marshall Corporation, my son has a father's love, he can grow up carefree by the side of his parents, where is Matthew Marshall pitiful? You just want the Marshall Corporation, you just want to enjoy all the benefits, you are insatiable!”

The tears flowed more fiercely from Bella Thompson's eyes, she stared resentfully at Michael Marshall, “What about him not even sparing his own little brother? He hates me, what would happen to Matthew Marshall and I if you weren't there? Do you want your wife and son to have no choice but to embrace death together?”

A frown crossed Michael Marshall's displeased face, his cold demeanor flashing a trace of chilling sharpness.

“If you don't provoke Daniel Marshall, he won't lay his hands on you. Bella

Thompson, there's no need for your sophistry, your ambition has fully been revealed now.

Hiding the resentment in her eyes, Bella Thompson carried on fueling the fire, “Olivia Jenkins has been flirty and seductive around men, will you allow Daniel Marshall to be with her?”
