Marshall sighed after a long time, “We are indeed sorry.”
He had never met Katherine’s grandfather, but he had heard his grandfather mention this person
before.
The two old men had a lifelong friendship, and if it weren’t for that, his grandfather wouldn’t have
insisted on Marshall marrying Katherine.
Marshall thought about it, “Okay. Dinner is served downstairs. Remember to come down for dinner
later.”
Katherine nodded while Marshall turned around and left.
Katherine waited for a while before she closed the door.
She was playing a game, and her phone was now thrown onto the bed.
She had probably lost the game.
She went over to get her phone and exit the game. She sat on the bedside, looking around.
It was indeed boring at the Grant family.
No one here liked her. And to be honest, she didn’t like anyone in the house either.
None of them.
It was the damnedest thing to see people she didn’t like every day.
Katherine put her hands on her lap and rubbed them back and forth.
She couldn’t stop thinking.
Now that she was so rich, why lived such an oppressive life.
She had to be prodigal. Otherwise, it would be a waste to take so much money and still live the same
life as before.
Katherine licked her lips. But, she had to do a little homework on how to spend that sum of money.
She didn’t know how to do it.
She was poor for too long, and she was overwhelmed by being rich all of a sudden.
On the other hand, Marshall sat in the study room.
Old Mrs. Grant, Khalid, and Frances were all there.
Marshall had already told them about the important things that happened during his business trip.
Khalid didn’t mention Katherine but just looked at Marshall with a serious look, “How can you still be
tricked by a person like that?”
Marshall’s face was expressionless, “It was my negligence. I didn’t expect them to be like this.”
Khalid had been in the business world for a long time, and these things were not too shocking for him.
Old Mrs. Grant nodded at the side, “So is the WF Group still in contact with you now?”
Marshall hummed, “They did call today, but I didn’t answer.”
Those who could make such a move before the premise of cooperation must have many despicable
means.
There was no telling what they might do after that.
Old Mrs. Grant let out a sigh, “Kathy will stay here for now. The two of you got divorced can’t be dug
out at this time as someone will easily make a fuss about it.”
The Grant family had made many enemies over the past years.
People on the outside could not judge right and wrong from the gossip.
It would be troublesome if people teamed up to trick him.
Old Mrs. Grant looked at Frances after finished talking, “Frances, you should be more careful in the
future. Now that Kathy and Marshall have nothing to do with each other, you’re not her mother-in-law
anymore.”
Frances pursed her lips for a long while before she said, “I know.”
Khalid glanced at Marshall, “As for your uncle’s side, they didn’t know much about the divorce matter.
When the time comes, I will just tell them that you and Katherine didn’t file the divorce in the end. They
probably won’t talk too much about this matter.”
Old Mrs. Grant looked at Frances again after hearing what Khalid said.
Mrs. Grant was a little embarrassed to look at Old Mrs. Grant.
Before Marshall and Katherine had finalized their divorce, she had already spread the word around the
house that the two were getting a divorce.
She even brought Clara here to walk around and let her get familiar with the environment.
Now Katherine was being brought back by Marshall again.
Not sure that what would others thought about it.
Khalid looked at Mrs. Grant and was also a bit helpless, “Frances, you shouldn’t get involved in
Marshall’s affair next time.”
Mrs. Grant took a breath, “Okay, I got it.”
Old Mrs. Grant stood up as things were almost done discussing, “It’s almost time, let’s go down and
eat.”
Mrs. Grant went over to assist Old Mrs. Grant, and they went down together.
As they got downstairs, they saw Katherine sat in the dining room and started eating.
She didn’t wait for anyone.
She was eating quite vigorously all by herself.
Mrs. Grant couldn’t hold back and whispered to Old Mrs. Grant, “Mom, look at her. She doesn’t even
look like a proper girl.”
Old Mrs. Grant stared at Katherine for a moment.
Katherine started eating since no one was around, and she ate quite happily, probably because the
food was delicious too.
And it was quite appetizing to watch.
Old Mrs. Grant sighed, “Let’s have a seat and eat.”
Marshall was causal about it.
He went over and sat next to Katherine, glanced at her.
However, Katherine didn’t even look at him and just said, “I was hungry. So I didn’t wait for you guys.”
Marshall smiled, “It’s alright, no need for so many courtesies.”
Katherine almost laughed out loud.
The Grant family had the most courtesies.
The maid served Marshall’s rice. Marshall turned to look at Katherine after having two bites,
inexplicably with some smiles on his face.
