He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 856: Chapter 856: The Old Master Has Arrived

Even though Grace Ziegler wanted to know Daniel Marshall’s thoughts, she didn’t dare to probe carelessly.

Grace Ziegler left the CEO’s office with a sense of unease.

Subconsciously, Grace Ziegler glanced one more time at the assistant’s office.

Assistant Howard should have been supportive, yet he hadn’t leaked a hint of anything; his office door was still closed.

In her spare time at work, Grace Ziegler surreptitiously went online to read the news.

Although she hadn’t seen Olivia Jenkins’ face in the news, over the past eight months, there was always news about her.

Setting aside personal emotions, this woman enjoyed a flourishing career; everything she endeavored in business was climbing to new heights. She was referred to in the business circles as a promising female powerhouse of the future.

Her robot-themed restaurant officially opened, instantly attracting the attention and discussion of the city’s media.

Before the opening ceremony even began, the restaurant’s entrance was lined with congratulatory flower baskets and banners, and the observant Grace Ziegler noticed from the news videos that the most conspicuous row of flower baskets bore Daniel Marshall’s name.

Daniel Marshall had also sent a congratulatory banner, placed right above the robot-themed restaurant.

It was just the opening of a restaurant, not some major event, yet the rows of flower baskets made people envious. Even without making an appearance, Olivia Jenkins’ fame and influence endured, and stories about her continued to spread. The media and netizens still referred to her as Mrs. Olivia Marshall.

Even that old and everlasting Mr. Alexander Marshall of the Marshall family saw Olivia Jenkins as his granddaughter-in-law; it was as if the position of that despicable woman had never changed…

There were so many news articles online that Grace Ziegler felt a nameless rage surge within her chest, but she didn’t dare to show it and pretended to be nonchalant while reading documents.

Suddenly, Grace Ziegler saw the receptionist handing some letters to the executive secretary.

The executive secretary took them into the CEO’s office, and shortly after, Daniel Marshall came out, calling for Assistant Howard and Grace Ziegler.

Adam Howard said nothing, and wherever Daniel said to go, he followed, with Oliver Johnson accompanying them.

…

At ten o’clock sharp, Olivia Jenkins joined the executives of the robot company and the restaurant manager at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Then, amidst the thunderous sound of drums and gongs, two golden lions performed at the restaurant’s entrance. About ten minutes later, one of the lions opened its mouth wide to “eat” the lettuce and red packets hanging at the doorway.

Under the guidance of the dancing lions, Olivia Jenkins, along with the leaders and guests, entered the robot-themed restaurant, symbolizing the official start of business, promising prosperity and wealth.

All restaurant staff were busy, attending to guests and the media.

Suddenly, a voice full of vigor captured Olivia Jenkins’ attention, and she instinctively looked back, “Grandpa!”

The smile on Olivia Jenkins’ beautiful face deepened as she personally went to escort Mr. Alexander Marshall into a private room.

Before Olivia Jenkins could exchange a few words of small talk with Mr. Alexander Marshall, she heard Abigail Anderson’s call.

Mr. Alexander Marshall, smiling contentedly, said softly, “Snow, go and entertain the guests. Don’t worry about me.”

“Grandpa, if you don’t mind, I will invite them into the private room.”

“It’s that young man from the Bennett family, I don’t mind.”

With her grandfather’s permission, Olivia Jenkins invited Miss Winter and Jordan Bennett into the private room.

It was the first time Olivia Jenkins held the son of Abigail Anderson and Jordan Bennett.

The little guy was quite heavy, his chubby body and innocently curious eyes looking around everywhere.

Every time Olivia Jenkins teased him, the little guy giggled.

Seeing the Bennett family’s grandson, Mr. Alexander Marshall felt a sudden heaviness in his heart and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.

If Olivia Jenkins hadn’t lost that child, it would have been three or four months old by now.
