He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: The Reason for Taking Risks

Adam Howard unconsciously furrowed his brows, “There’s something I just can’t wrap my head around. How did Lily Lee get in touch with Grace Ziegler?”

An icy intensity passed over Daniel Marshall’s handsome features, “This tells us one thing, the person behind Lily Lee knows me well. Adam, arrange things so that no one can trace us back to Binzhou.”

Adam Howard gave a slight nod, “Understood. I will handle it immediately. Previously, following your orders, Grace’s employment records have been sorted out. It’s not a major concern if she comes up in our investigations, but we should still remain on guard.”

Although Sebastian Thompson and James Marshall have both gone overseas, there’s no guarantee that they’ll stop meddling. Take a deeper look into any involvement Lily Lee might have with these two,” Daniel Marshall stood and gazed pensively out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a few seconds of thought, Adam Howard said: “Even though they’re abroad, we have people keeping an eye on them. Sebestian’s family spends every day with their son; they wouldn’t dare jeopardize anything for him. James Marshall is mending his relationship with his wife every day; I doubt he’s capable of luring Lily Lee. It’s inconceivable to me why someone of Lily Lee’s status and position would associate herself with such scum.”

With an insistence that brooked no argument, Daniel Marshall said: “That’s just speculation. We need to investigate it. Regardless of how unlikely it seems given Lily Lee’s status, why would she risk so much to play this game? There must be a valid reason that she’s willing to risk so much, even if it means losing her plumage. We need to uncover this reason as soon as possible. I will take care of Prosperity Square Technology matters, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll take a break now.”

“Daniel, about Auntie, she…”

“Her surgery is at two in the afternoon. I’ve already made all the preparations. I’ll head back to Binzhou later.”

“Alright, you get some rest. I’ll handle things at the company. We can hold the fort.”

“Thank you!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“We’ve been brothers for so many years. There’s no need for formalities! You take care of Auntie. Even if the sky falls in Serene City, I’ll be there to hold it up for you.”

Daniel Marshall nodded with gratitude, a hint of exhaustion showing on his face.

Daniel found complexities of family life draining.

…

Daniel Marshall was no longer in Serene City.

Grace Ziegler had taken a leave of absence to go home.

By coincidence, they left Serene City on the same day.

After thinking for a while, Lily Lee immediately booked a flight to Kyoto.

She wanted to meet Daniel Marshall face-to-face to test the waters.

Upon arriving at the airport, Lily Lee unexpectedly noticed the news being broadcasted.

So, Daniel Marshall was the largest shareholder of Champion International, and he was going to Kyoto for a lunch meeting with the CEO of Champion International.

In light of this, circumstances were not in their favor.

Lily had just taken off her sunglasses when her phone rang. It was a call from President Jacobs of Prosperity Square Technology.

Taking a cold glance at the caller ID, Lily Lee accepted the call as if nothing was amiss, “President Jacobs, I was about to call you. It appears we have some strong synchronicity.”

President Jacobs frowned and squinted in displeasure, “Ms. Lee, spare me the pleasantries. Can you just tell me what I’m supposed to do now? I’ve already upset Daniel Marshall because of you. If Champion International decides not to deliver to us, the whole of Prosperity Square will be left out in the cold. I can’t stay calm anymore. Give me an explanation.”

With her immaculate makeup still in place and a smile on her face, Lily Lee replied, “President Jacobs, you’re overthinking. I’m on my way to Kyoto to see Daniel at the moment.”
