Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Competing with Olivia Jenkins Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Competing with Olivia Jenkins Daniel Marshall fell silent, then drank another glass of whiskey so spicy and strong.

Adam Howard capped the bottle and pushed the whiskey aside, staring unblinkingly at Daniel Marshall, “You’ve had enough to drink, don’t drink anymore.

When you’re drunk, you can’t think clearly.

Think over what we talked about tonight.”
Suddenly, Daniel Marshall laughed at himself, his eyes brimming with disdain, “My mom said that Grace Ziegler was an orphan she adopted, not my half-sister by the same mother.

IaEUR| it’s ridiculous, I really had it coming!

From childhood to adulthood, I had neither fatherly love nor motherly affection.

Grandfather was very strict with me, I couldn’t make a single mistake, and I had to act according to his wishes.

To survive in the Marshall Family, I had no choice but to compromise, so I’ve always longed to see my mother.

Sometimes, I wonder why my mother doesn’t want me?

Why does my father despise me so much?

Why does my father only hold Matthew Marshall, and not me?

In the entire Marshall Family, only my grandmother had pity on me, comforting me, that was my only reason to keep living there.

When I learned that my mother was in Binzhou, I was thrilled and also afraid, filled with anxiety.

While protecting her, I was also scared she wouldn’t want me.

Knowing I had a half-sister by the same mother, when she made me chive pockets, you have no idea how much I cherished that imagined blood relation.

Learning that my mom was wronged, driven out of the Marshall Family and subjected to humiliation, as a son, I felt so sorry for her, wishing I could take on all her suffering.

So, within my capabilities, although Grace Ziegler had malicious intentions, I still forgave her.

In the end, it was misplaced.

The closest relatives I have are only my mom and grandfather, fortunately, I also received my mom’s recognition.

Whether Grace Ziegler later provoked Olivia Jenkins or not, I don’t know, at least Olivia Jenkins never trusted me, never communicated with me.”
Adam Howard pursed his lips, speaking softly, “So, it takes two to tango!

You both keep your troubles to yourselves, accumulating more and more resentment over time, and eventually, you only see each other’s faults, fixated on them, deepening the conflict.

Admittedly, Olivia Jenkins is also rather proud and lacks a sense of security, so she fears getting hurt and is reluctant to trust you, only wishing to escape.

But running away is not the fundamental solution to conflict; it’s like killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own.”
Daniel Marshall rested his forehead on his hand, silent.

Adam Howard advised, “Go home, your mom is waiting for you at home; don’t worry her.

Compose yourself, there are many things waiting for you to do.

Sort out your actions, judge for yourself what’s right and wrong, remember to put yourself in other people’s shoes.

Regardless of whether you take it to heart, I hope you keep an eye on Grace Ziegler and leave a little room for rationality.

What kind of person she is, you might not be able to tell now, let time reveal it.”
Daniel Marshall nodded, but did not utter a word.

Having said so much tonight to Adam Howard, he felt somewhat relieved, the discomfort in his chest also eased.

…

Taking advantage of the time to deliver documents, Grace Ziegler went to the Jenkins Group.

The front desk secretary reported, and though Olivia Jenkins initially did not want to see Grace Ziegler, when she heard the exact words about the child’s matters that the front desk secretary conveyed from Grace Ziegler, Olivia Jenkins allowed Grace Ziegler to come up.

Walking with proud steps, Grace Ziegler entered, sitting arrogantly across from Olivia Jenkins, her haughty eyes challenging Olivia Jenkins.

Olivia Jenkins’ beautiful face was expressionless, her keen eyes glittering as they fixed on Grace Ziegler, “You want to talk about the child?

What do you know?

What right do you have to talk to me about that?”
