He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 543: Chapter 543 Freshness is treasure

All the women in the room were staring at the big screen of the banquet hall, envying Mrs. Olivia Marshall, amazed at the stunning beauty of her gown.

If she wanted stars, she got stars. They were all jealous of Chief Daniel Marshall’s too deep indulgence in Mrs. Olivia Marshall’s needs!

Such a pity, they could only watch from a distance.

Most of them understood their social standing; Mrs. Olivia Marshall was the moon surrounded by stars, unmatched by anyone else.

Even with uncontrollable rage cascading in Grace Ziegler’s heart, she had to force herself to suppress it.

She believed her dress was perfect, but if compared to Mrs. Olivia Marshall’s, it was indeed a disgrace. No wonder Secretary Garcia sneered at her attempts to seem spectacular, no wonder he scoffed at her confidence – she really could not compete head-on with Mrs. Olivia Marshall.

Grace Ziegler stared at the screen, watching the golden couple, and let out a cynical laughter.

Yes, she was indeed overestimating her abilities, and had thus become a laughing stock.

“Mrs. Bella Marshall really stole the show tonight. Poor Mrs. Olivia Marshall, she was nowhere to be seen. It’s true that the victors always have the power, even the company banquet didn’t have her name on the invite, thereby showing what a cunning woman Mrs. Bella Marshall is.”

“Indeed, before Mrs. Bella Marshall married into the Marshall family, each yearly banquet of the Marshall Corporation saw Mrs. Olivia Marshall being the center of attention. Every other influential woman of the elite class revolved around her, but now, Mrs. Olivia Marshall is nowhere to be seen.”

“The captivating life of the wealthy is just like a palace drama, survival of the fittest indeed!”

“The Thompson family is worse off than being bankrupt, Mrs. Olivia Marshall couldn’t even protect her maiden home, how could she possibly show her face at the banquet! I mean, I don’t understand the ways of the elite, they can be so ruthless even to their in-laws.”

“I don’t understand, although they both are sons of Mrs. Olivia Marshall, why is the Thompson family favoring Mr. Matthew Marshall and not Chief Daniel Marshall. Mrs. Olivia Marshall’s sole preference for Mr. Matthew Marshall makes it seems as if Chief Daniel Marshall wasn’t her son.”

“Regardless, in the future, the Marshall Corporation will belong to Chief Daniel Marshall, so the head woman in charge of Marshall Corporation is bound to change, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing for Mrs. Olivia Marshall to withdraw behind the scenes.”

“Without tactics and strategies, a woman can’t stand firm in a wealthy family. Perpetual favor is the real deal, but this comes with the prerequisite of having the capital to be extensively cherished by others.”

“Let’s see how long Mrs. Bella Marshall can keep on being favored. After all, men are not always faithful forever. Who knows what will happen in a year or two? When the novelty wears off, she’ll be less valued than the grass at your feet! A woman is like clothes, eventually to be changed!”

“Chairman’s side didn’t have any other woman, it shows that Mrs. Olivia Marshall indeed had her own strategies. She just lost the battle to a woman like Mrs. Bella Marshall.”

“But, I think Mrs. Olivia Marshall isn’t someone who backs down easily. She has held her ground in the Marshall family for many years, that’s not without certain ability. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s power struggle may suddenly turn around. Maybe someday, Mrs. Bella Marshall may be the one to leave the Marshall family, thus proving that ‘what goes around, comes around’.”

The employees in Secretary Garcia’s office were jabbering away, while those in the chief secretary’s office were all listening attentively, without adding a word.

With those words unintentionally spoken, Grace Ziegler took them seriously and recorded them in her mind.

Grace Ziegler was also thinking deeply about these words.

Grace Ziegler firmly believed that she will definitely have her chance in the future, to be in the limelight just like that.

…

Grace’s eyes were only chasing after Mrs. Olivia Marshall at the banquet, only focusing on every move she made.

Mrs. Olivia Marshall was indeed the focus of the entire venue. There were so many people who were flattering and pleasing her. It was as if she was the treasured moon surrounded by stars.

Suddenly, Grace noticed that Mrs. Olivia Marshall was walking towards the outside, probably to make a trip to the washroom.

Grace felt that her opportunity has arrived.
