His handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, exuding a non-angry yet imposing aura, a hint of coldness seeping through Daniel Marshallâs sharp hawk-like eyes.
âIn grandfatherâs eyes, is marriage a childâs play? Are women mere clothes?â
Alexander Marshallâs piercing cold eyes glared at Daniel and he asked with a harsh tone, âDo you also not take me seriously? I made you the CEO of Marshall Corporation, and I can also dethrone you. You can try if you like!â
A sinful yet stunning grin appeared on Danielâs handsome face. âSure, I will!â
Just then, infuriated, Alexander Marshall slammed his hand onto the table.
The sudden loud âsmackâ startled the servants in the room.
The chopsticks and bowls beside Alexanderâs palms rattled due to the impact, creating a clanging sound.
Danielâs sharp eyes didnât even blink as he maintained eye contact with his grandfather.
His attractive thin lips slightly pursed, radiating a sharp edge. His entire being exuded an aura of a powerful king.
The grandson that he had raised was now rebelling, challenging him over a woman. Flames of rage seemed ready to burst from Alexander Marshallâs eyes. The veins on his temples were subtly throbbing.
âDaniel, resign from your post as CEO of Marshall Corporation. Go as far as you like!â
âGrandfather, youâre acting out of emotivity, I donât want to argue. However, I want to clarify that I can resign, but you must be prepared to face the incalculable consequences. Once the news is out, the first thing youâll see is a drop in the Marshall Corporationâs share value. Make sure youâre prepared to protect the overall market.â
Alexanderâs face turned a paler shade. âYou dare threaten me!â
Danielâs voice was slow but intimidating, âGrandfather, Iâm just speaking on a factual basis. Donât you think youâre overstepping? Iâm not your puppet!â
âGrandfather, youâre old, itâs time to retire and enjoy your latter years. The old methods donât work anymore, you should face that fact.â
Suddenly, Alexander Marshall reached out to hit Daniel.
Daniel, however, caught his grandfatherâs hand. His stern eyes sharply focused on his grandfather,âlâm not a young child anymore. I know what I want and I donât need you to worry about it. Whether itâs a person or a ghost, I can figure it out, no need for your misguided advice.
Itâs your arrogant ego thatâs hurt, itâs you who canât accept us going against your wishes because you havenât adjusted your self-view.
Also, everything you think of is about yourself, youâre very selfish. No wonder grandma couldnât stand you. You never reflect, always thinking youâre right. Youâre always the center of everything and never recognize how difficult you are to deal with.
You didnât know, even until grandmaâs death doll, she was unhappy. If she had another life, I believe she would never choose to be with you again. She was tired of your arrogance and your despotism. â
Alexander Marshallâs eyes widened, the sparks inside almost like wanting to burn Daniel to ashes.
This child must be bewitched by that wretched woman, for him to spout such nonsense.
Alexander Marshall glared viciously at Olivia Jenkins.
It was all because of that wretched woman that their grandfather-grandson relationship had repeatedly soured.
He wouldnât be at peace unless he drove her away.
âGet out!â
âPlease restrain yourself, grandfather! Youâve been instigating so many conflicts, one day, the fire you lit might just come back to bite you. I hope you take care of yourself.â
After loosening his grip on his grandfatherâs hand, Daniel took Oliviaâs hand and led her out of the main building of Beverly Hills.
Daniel would not let his grandfather control him.
He wouldnât let Olivia walk the same path as his mother, wouldnât let her endure the same humiliation.
Olivia didnât shake off Danielâs hand, she was stealing glances at him..
