He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Plotting against Daniel Marshall

Translator: 549690339

Daniel Marshall remained silent for a long time, and Jay Bennett didn’t know what to do.

Forcing down the panic and fear in his heart, he steadied his mind, then put on a faint smile as if nothing had happened and asked with concern, “Daniel, are you troubled? Feel free to share with me, I am willing to help you bear it.”

After saying that, Jay felt slightly impressed with himself.

Just like that, he continued to be caring and understanding – traits that were generally endearing.

In that instant, Jay’s mind became less panicked. He gradually regained his composure.

“Daniel, what’s wrong with you today? You seem a bit strange. Normally, you’re not this quiet. It’s mealtime already, aren’t you hungry? If not, let’s go eat first. We can also chat while eating.”

Daniel remained silent, his hawk-like eyes glinting icily as he stared at Jay.

He had always thought that Jay was timid and submissive, an easy target for bullies. Jay was so kind to a fault that he never knew how to strike back or scheme against people. Jay needed his protection. But now, Jay’s unexpected eloquence and ability to mask his feelings surprised him.

About the worst part of it, Jay had lied and deceived him.

Jay even dared to scheme against him.

Suddenly, Daniel got up and slowly approached Jay.

Immediately, Jay felt an overwhelming sense of pressure like never before.

And Jay saw it clearly that Daniel’s slightly narrowed eyes were terrifying, exuding intense aggression.

“Daniel, are…are you leaving?”

As Daniel advanced, Jay stiffened, his bulging eyes showing his fright.

Instinctively, Jay took a few steps forward, grabbing his bag in the process.

“Jay, I can find out whatever I want to know easily enough. Before coming here, I met with Olivia Jenkins, and I saw your sister’s violin in her hands.”

Suppressing his disappointment, Daniel came to the point outright.

Jay took a deep breath and clutched at his bag.

He understood Daniel’s meaning — Daniel suspected him.

Even though his heart was in turmoil, Jay kept his composure and denied firmly, “What a coincidence! That…I won’t take the rent from her anymore.”

“Is it really just a coincidence? Jay, did you really not deceive me?”

Jay shook his head, “It’s truly just a coincidence! Daniel, did you argue with her? Or are you blaming me for renting out my sister’s violin without discussing it with you?”

Daniel didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned on his phone and showed Jay the surveillance footage from the violin shop.

In an instant, from the surveillance footage, Jay clearly saw himself hiding behind a grand piano. And the footage wasn’t just for a minute; it lasted longer.

The zoomed-in recording, captured him spying on Olivia talking to the owner of the violin shop. The high-definition picture showed that everyone who watched the surveillance would know that Jay had found out earlier that Olivia needed a violin…

Jay was stunned, just like a deflated ball, unable to find the words to defend himself.

Jay’s eyes were reddened, his face extremely pale, looking like he was on the verge of tears.

He never expected the single lie he had told in front of Daniel would be exposed so quickly. He did not leave him with any dignity or room for manoeuvre.

His lie was so fragile in front of Daniel. Jay’s hands, though tightly clutching his bag, were trembling violently and his lips were quivering unconsciously.

“Daniel, I’m sorry! I truly didn’t mean to deceive you, I didn’t mean to lie. I just kindly lent the violin to Olivia.”
