Chapter 181: Five Million, Leave My Son
Bella Woods arrived at the address given by Calvin Marshall and discovered it was a club called Listening Orchid Pavilion.
Bella was familiar with this club; Cyan Marshall had brought her here once for afternoon tea. It was a popular gathering spot for the elite women of Peace City and was known for hosting multiple card games in the evenings.
However, Cyan had only taken her there once, and it had been an unpleasant experience.
It was said that Listening Orchid Pavilion had a new owner, namely the current wife of Old Master Marshall, Ethan Marshall’s biological mother. It was a scandal back then, as Old Master had kept a mistress for many years outside the family.
Later, Old Master’s legitimate wife unexpectedly passed away, and this mistress and Ethan were brought back to the Marshall Family to be officially recognized, due to Old Master’s long-standing guilt over having them live outside for so many years.
Therefore, Old Master kept his grip on important shares of the Marshall Clan Group, intending to leave something behind for Ethan in the future.
Even when Ashton single-handedly toppled Ethan back in the day, as long as Old Master was alive, he sought to support Ethan’s rise.
These tidbits, collected over the years from Cyan Marshall, Oliver Hughes, or the newly acquainted Calvin Marshall, pieced together this grand family secret for Bella Woods.
As Bella was led down the corridor of the club by the staff, she suddenly realized the message that had summoned her there wasn’t sent by Calvin.
And now Bella had already arrived at the private room door with the staff. She held her phone, ready to send her location and a distress call to the backup Ashton Marshall had left her.
