“Honey, let me give you a shoulder massage.”
The gentle, soft voice of Bella Thompson didn’t change. As she massaged his shoulders using just the right strength, she seemed no different than usual. Nonetheless, a frown formed on Michael Marshall’s face as he looked at her as though she was a stranger.
If he hadn’t asked about it himself, he would probably still be in the dark about Bella Thompson’s murderous intent toward Daniel Marshall.
No matter how disrespectful Daniel acted towards Bella, or how strongly he upset her or even belittled her, how could she harbor the intention to kill his own son?
How could such a woman, who appeared gentle and forbearing, always subject to numerous grievances, be so ruthless?
Would she do it just for money and power?
In fact, was Bella’s cold-bloodedness a facade she had been carrying the whole time?
A facade she had been maintaining for over two decades?
If so, that would be terrifying!
Bella Thompson noticed that Michael Marshall was not his usual self today.
She felt a slight fear in her heart. Michael was her foundation, her lifesaver. She couldn’t afford to lose him.
Bella Thompson was experienced. Despite her guilty conscience and fear, she managed to regain her composure. With an innocent smile, as if nothing happened, she continued to massage Michael’s shoulders.
All of a sudden, he grabbed her hand.
Bella Thompson was startled and stopped massaging his shoulders.
Nonetheless, she pretended to show concern, asking, “Honey, what’s the matter? Too much work today?”
Michael Marshall pulled her over to face him.
He looked at her with piercing eyes, “Did you know that Daniel got hurt and was hospitalized?”
Bella Thompson stood silently, admitting her guilt, pretending to be weak to gain sympathy.
“Dad said it all. I had someone teach Olivia Jenkins a lesson as per his instructions, but they accidentally hurt Daniel. Michael, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean for it to happen. I will apologize to Daniel.”
With a swish, Michael let go of Bella’s hand, and gave her a freezing cold stare.
“You always act cautiously. Would you ever hurt anyone by accident? Bella
Thompson, what are you really thinking? How could you attempt to harm Daniel? No matter how much you dislike him, even if he is a thorn in your side, even if I dislike him, he is still my biological son. How could you scheme against him?”
Michael Marshall’s emotions became more and more stirred up, he angrily
roared at Bella and got up from his black leather chair with a thump.
Seeing Michael in such a furious state, Bella was frightened and unbelieving.
This man who she deeply loved, the one she obtained by any means necessary, not only was he not on her side, but he was also angry at her, blaming her.
Bella Thompson’s body shivered involuntarily.
In her welled-up eyes, she wanted to cry, but there were no tears, only an indescribable pain pierced her heart.
No matter what she did, wasn’t it all for their son, for their family?
Her became ruthless out of coercion.
It was the Marshall Family that pushed her to become so ruthless.
This man couldn’t even defend his younger son properly, unable to fight for a decent position for their son. If she didn’t scheme, would they not just wait for Daniel to kick them out of the Marshall Family?
She was struggling singlehandedly. Couldn’t he see that?
Was Michael so harsh to her because he still cared for the woman who betrayed him?
Although he appeared indifferent to their son, in fact, he held their son deep in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so upset accusing her!
Bella Thompson’s heart was crumbling, but she continued to deny her intentions to kill Daniel..
