Marshall almost burst into laughter upon hearing that. whether Dolly committed suicide or not had
nothing to do with him. Sam also told Marshall that Dolly was desperate to see him. Marshall had
investigated WF Group’s background before he decided to cooperate with them. So naturally, he had
also carried out a background check on Sam. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with them.
However, it now appeared that both WF Group and Sam were unreliable.Somehow, Sam hadn’t taken
in the situation so far. How did he have the guts to tell Marshall about it? Marshall hung up on Sam
right away. Katherine remained silent because she didn’t want to get involved in his business. The man
dressed in the monk robe brought in tea and snacks, setting them down on the table. Katherine
thanked him with a smile and sat aside quietly. Of course Marshall wouldn’t talk about what happened
between WF Group and him, saying that he would wait and see because the cooperation was
something serious. Therefore, the designer said nothing more. They began to ramble about something
else. Katherine could tell that Marshall had known these two people for a long time. He was quite
reserved and a man of few words. However, he was in a talkative mood today.
Holding the teacup, Katherine stared at the tea inside and said nothing. She listened to their
conversation, but was absent-minded. Marshall glanced at her but she made no sound at all, almost
blending in with the furniture in the background. He sighed and asked the designer to measure her.
When that was done, they left.
It was getting dark outside so the man and the designer went to see them off. Katherine simply nodded
and smiled at the two before getting into the car. When the car stopped in the driveway of the old
mansion, she opened the door and got out without waiting for Marshall. When she walked to the open
space in front of the main building, she stopped. The whole living room was clearly visible from here.
Mrs. Grant and Old Mrs. Grant were sitting there and beside Mrs. Grant sat Clara. It was unknown to
her what the three of them were talking about and why they looked very happy.
Katherine couldn’t help but chuckle. This scene appeared so warm and harmonious. Marshall was also
surprised at the scene in the living room when he joined Katherine later.
He took her hand. "Let’s go."
That meant they were going to start putting on a show again. She didn’t really want to be cooperative,
but she also wanted to embarrass Clara. Restless, Katherine followed him into the living room. Mrs.
Grant rose to her feet immediately at the sight of Marshall.
"Well, speak of the devil. We just said that you were coming back late today and now you’re home."
Since Clara was present, Katherine greeted Old Mrs. Grant by calling "Grandmother". She stared at
Mrs. Grant for a long time before calling her "Mother". This made both Katherine and Mrs. Grant
nauseous. Mrs. Grant replied uncomfortably. Marshall had Katherine sit down next to him on the sofa.
Her whole body was reclining on Marshall’s as if she had no bones. He turned to look at her and
smiled. Marshall was quite a good actor and didn’t miss any details during his performance. She
slightly admired him. Old Mrs. Grand asked them where they had been, and he answered truthfully.
Marshall cast a glance towards his mother as he spoke and she responded him with an inconspicuous
nod.
Clara looked at Marshall and Katherine’s hands clasped together and smiled. "I’m also invited to the
dinner party, so we can meet again."
Katherine put on a surprised look. "Really! I told you we're connected with the Henderson Family."
Naturally, Clara could tell what Katherine was implying so she paused and explained at once. "The
reason I came today is to apologize to you both. It isn’t until today that I learned my grandfather visited
your company yesterday and I feel ashamed. I must've caused trouble to you."
Mrs. Marshall couldn’t stand watching Clara behaving like this and held her hand immediately. "Don’t
say that. I’m to blame for this. I was mistaken and too worried."
Katherine threw a cold glance at Mrs. Grant and Clara. These two were both being quite cooperative.
Neither of them realized that they'd embarrass her by doing this. Sure enough, once given a good
teacher, Mrs. Grant made great progress. These two looked so real and so natural.
Katherine smacked her lips and spoiled the show. "I’m hungry. How much longer do we have to sit here
for?"
Marshall turned to look at Katherine and said, "Let’s go eat now."
It was already late. Since Clara was still here, they had to make her stay for dinner. She went to the
dining room with Mrs. Grant. They sat in the same seats, just like the last time.
