Chapter 562: Did You Cause the Car Accident?

The press box was utterly shocked!

After Daniel Marshall announced the news, the President of RenewalCare Hospital then detailed Mr. Alexander Marshall’s injuries and current recovery situation.

There was no set Q&A session, and after the press conference ended, Daniel Marshall and the President of RenewalCare Hospital left the venue immediately, escorted by bodyguards all the way.

Before long, the news of Mr. Alexander Marshall’s car accident topped the hot search list.

Calls of condolences came flooding in from all over the country, overwhelming Grace Martinez, the public relations manager of the Marshall Corporation, to the point that she was almost at her wit’s end dealing with the constant phone calls.

It was from the news that she became aware of the chairman’s accident. Even though the process was unreasonable, she had little choice but to harden herself and efficiently deal with the inquiries and concerns from various parties.

At this moment, Grace Martinez realized that the two main leaders of Marshall Corporation no longer trusted her. Her work in the future would only get more and more challenging.

She feared that sooner or later, she would have to leave Marshall Corporation. This press conference was likely a warning from Daniel Marshall.

In short, both the Marshall father and son were keeping their guard against her. In the future, first-hand news about the corporation would undoubtedly be hard to obtain.

Chances of her being able to serve as James Marshall’s eyes and ears would certainly be scarce.

Bella Thompson had a car prepared. She and Matthew Marshall were going to head back to Serene City overnight.

In Bella Thompson’s bedroom, Matthew Marshall’s piercing gaze was fixed on his mother. He lowered his voice and asked tentatively, “Did you know about Grandpa’s car accident a long time ago? You packed up early, it seems like you were preparing to go back to Serene City.”

Bella Thompson calmly met her son’s gaze, maintaining her composure and speaking softly, “I packed early, thinking that your father wouldn’t disown us entirely and that he would come to pick us up for the New Year. Sadly, he was relentless. Now, your grandfather is hospitalized due to injury. As his daughter-in-law, it’s imperative for me to go back and take care of him.”

“They’ve all rejected you; is there a necessity to go back? If he doesn’t even acknowledge you as his daughter-in-law, are you not seeking humiliation?” Matthew Marshall’s sharp gaze was still fixed on his mother. He had a bad feeling. His grandmother’s car accident, his mother must have known about it a long time ago.

Bella Thompson patted his son’s shoulder – expression stern, voice cold – saying, “Of course, I know that going back will result in me being bullied. But for your sake, I am willing to do anything. We can’t wait for your father to come to pick us. Hence we have to go back ourselves; this is the best opportunity.”

Matthew Marshall fell silent; his eyes dropped.

Bella Thompson spoke earnestly, “Son, if I could avoid it, I wouldn’t tolerate being wronged. However, the situation has changed, and we must follow suit. Do you want to move abroad? Your health has improved a lot now. By the time you’re fully recovered, you might be sent off.”

After contemplating for a while, Matthew Marshall looked up at his mother, speaking calmly, “We’ll go back to Serene City.”

“Even if it takes everything I have, I will protect you.”

“Mom, tell me the truth, was Grandpa’s car accident related to you?”

Bella Thompson did not evade her son’s questioning gaze but continued to hold it.

Bella Thompson’s expression became serious, and she earnestly said, “It has nothing to do with me; I truly did not know. My son, don’t overthink it. Listen to your mother; focus on recovering from your injuries and prepare to return to Marshall Corporation.”

After hesitating for a while, Matthew Marshall fell silent but nodded anyway.

…

Upon seeing the news, Grace Ziegler immediately dialed Chief Daniel Marshall’s number.

The call was answered, but it was Assistant Howard on the line.

“On behalf of Chief Daniel Marshall, I would like to thank Secretary Grace Ziegler for her concern. You are very thoughtful!”

“Assistant Howard, how is Chief Daniel Marshall?”

“With Mrs. Olivia Marshall by his side, Chief Daniel Marshall is doing great!”
