In an instant, Michael Marshall’s face twisted with fury like a raging lion, his bulging eyes seemed ready to pop out of his head.

He pointed at Olivia Jenkins, sternly confronting his father, “Father, are you still coinc to tolerate such a disresDectful Derson? Having someone like her in𝑅eead new chapt𝒆rs on nove/l𝒃in(.)com

the Marshall Family is bad luck!”

Bella Thompson, aware of the shifting winds, quickly lowered her stance and apologized, “It’s all my fault for being too gossipy, causing you all to argue.

Father, punish me instead!”

Alexander Marshall’s face darkened, his lips tightly pursed, his deep-set eyes seemed to harbour a storm of imminent anger.

The smile on Olivia Jenkins’ face deepened, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, “Father, do you hate me this much? Do you look down on me that much? I didn’t laugh at you. Why are you so worked up and taking everything so personally? What should I do? I’m laughing at how Daniel can be so funny. There’s no rule against laughing at my own husband, is there?”

The anger in Michael Marshall’s eyes was nearly blazing, and the veins on his forehead almost popped out, “You’re twisting the truth! This is the Marshall Family, you don’t have the right to act so outrageously, get out!”

Daniel Marshall’s voice was as cold as ice, he calmly spoke, as if a cold front swept across the living room, “So father wants to dominate in the Marshall Family? You even want to drive me out, don’t you?”

Seeing the mounting tension between his son and grandson, Alexander

Marshall roared: “Enough, are you all treating me as if I’m dead?”

Undeterred, Olivia Jenkins continued, “The minute I step through the door, I’m accused. What did I do wrong? Grandfather, is it wrong that I am Daniel’s wife? Is it wrong to have the identity of the Marshall Family’s daughter-in-law?”

Alexander Marshall’s pupils contracted, his eyes narrowed, he coldly glared at Bella Thompson, “You tell me, where had my granddaughter-in-law gone wrong? I think she’s done nothing wrong. In this world, the winner takes all, and losers are always in the wrong. People should know their own standing!”

Daniel Marshall chimed in, “Miss Bella Thompson, I’d like to know what’s my wife done wrong too? How could I not know? Am I greatly mistaken? Are you going to accuse me from your moral high ground?”

Michael Marshall parted his lips to speak, but he was immediately cut off by

Alexander Marshall, “Shut your mouth. I want to hear from her, where did Olivia Jenkins go wrong?”

For a moment, Bella Thompson shuddered uncontrollably.

She looked pitifully at Michael Marshall, who obediently kept his mouth shut, unlike Daniel Marshall who would defend Olivia Jenkins even at the expense of breaking ties with his family.

Disappointing bitterness instantly overwhelmed Bella Thompson.

Intimidated by her father-in-law’s authority and severity, and pressured by Daniel Marshall’s aggressive stance, Bella Thompson had no choice but to directly respond to the accusations she had instigated.

“Isn’t Olivia Jenkins trending? She’s becoming a producer, trying to mimic others by making TV series. She’s an outsider with no experience. How can she compete with industry insiders? She’s going to invest a lot of money in this series. What if she fails? What will she do then?”

In the living room, only Bella Thompson’s voice could be heard. Everyone was looking at her. As she spoke, her voice grew more and more cautious, afraid that she might say something wrong and bring the wrath upon herself or that the patriarch would reprimand her and punish her.

“I wanted someone to dissuade her from doing such risky things. Filmmaking is a massive investment. It’s not something you can just casually undertake.”

“Furthermore, there are people criticising her online. I’m worried it will impact the Marshall Family, that fans will dig up a slew of issues and create chaos.

That’s all.”

Alexander Marshall didn’t leave any room for Bella Thompson, metaphorically slapping her in the face, “You’ve missed out some points, you said Olivia Jenkins was wasting the Marshall Family’s capital. You were clear that Olivia

Jenkins wanted to bankrupt the Marshall Family. You depicted Olivia Jenkins as a bottomless pit that leeches off the Marshall Family, to strengthen the Jenkins Group..”
