He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 747: Chapter 747 The Identity of the Person Behind the Scenes

The police continued the investigation and traced it to an overseas hacker, but the clues were again interrupted.

Upon receiving the news, Lida immediately informed Daniel Marshall.

Even so, Daniel would not forgive the mistakes that Lida had made.

The other party seemingly spared no expense in trying to destroy his marriage. From then on, Daniel could confirm that Lily Lee’s adoptive mother and Mr. James Marshall’s relationship was indeed extraordinary.

Daniel had gotten closer in his investigations.

In a blur, Daniel returned to Beverly Hills.

In the old man’s study, Daniel solemnly said, “Grandpa, I want to ask you some things, about Mr. James Marshall, think about what you remember.”

The old man nodded, “Go ahead.”

“Is James Marshall the biological son of Mrs. Anna Marshall?”

The old man stared sharply at Daniel, “Why would you ask such a thing? What happened?”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Daniel said in a deep voice: “Some villains are trying to destroy the relationship between Olivia and me, they won’t let us live in peace.”

The old man suddenly fell silent, his thoughts sinking into past memories.

After thinking for a while, the old man opened a locked drawer and took out what was inside.

“You see if this is of any use to you.”

Daniel picked up an old, yellowed photo and scrutinized it closely.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The little boy in the photo should be James Marshall. That is to say, Daniel’s conjecture was correct; James was not the biological son of Mrs. Anna Marshall but rather adopted.

So, the biological mother of James must be Lily Lee’s adoptive mother.

Although Daniel did not reveal the whole picture and only asked this question, the old man could guess the gist of it.

After some thought, the old man began to recite an old story, “In those years, your Mr. James Marshall had a favorite woman, an actress, but their social statuses were mismatched, and your great-grandfather firmly disagreed.

Later, they were forced to break up, and he married Mrs. Anna Marshall. After several years of marriage, Mrs. Anna Marshall had not borne a child, and suddenly one day, your Mr. James Marshall brought back a child, James, and raised him.

At that time, your great-grandfather was ill and accepted the situation. I stepped in and gave that actress a sum of money to let her leave Serene City. Later, the actress disappeared and never showed up again.

I have her photos here, but they are from when she was young. If you need it, you can take it.”

After flipping through the photographs several times, Daniel took one showing a young woman holding a two-year-old boy.

“Thank you, Grandpa, now I understand everything, I have figured it out.”

The old man said in his unfathomable way: “That’s good!”

“Grandpa, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company. I’ll come back to dine with you another day.”

“Go on, do your work.” The old man didn’t say much more, just waved his hand.

After Daniel left, the old man immediately ordered someone to invite his brother to Joyful Hall.

…

Bella Thompson was suddenly instructed to leave Joyful Hall and stay in her room.

Although she didn’t understand why, Bella could still feel that something big was happening.

Over the past few months, Bella appeared to be cultivating her mind and ignoring worldly things, she was in fact waiting for an excellent opportunity to counterattack.

Thus, Bella didn’t intend to upset the waters.

Sebastian was abroad and was surely plotting, she couldn’t risk alarming anyone.

So, Bella obediently stayed in her room, pretending to know nothing.

Edward Marshall was brought to Joyful Hall. He was forced to kneel in front of the family ancestral tablets.

The old man glared at him fiercely and sternly demanded: “What have you done? I’m giving you the chance to confess now, otherwise bear the consequences yourself. I could also take your darling son’s life.”
