Katherine got resigned after hanging off the phone. She planned to go there in the afternoon and that
plan wouldn’t work.
She said goodbye to Peter and hurriedly called a taxi to leave.
Straight ahead to the old house.
When she arrived, she found the gate of the old house was widely opened and she could see what was
in the yard.
The servants were busy today, holding things and walking around.
Katherine got off in front of the gate. She walked inside while keeping an eye on what happened in the
yard.
She stood still when she arrived at the parking lot to see the scenery in the yard.
There were not too many people there.
Katherine waited for a while, got closer and finally heard people’s voice.
It was neither Marshall nor Lucas, but was Clara.
Katherine couldn’t help frowning.
Why would she show up on younger Mr. Grant’s birthday?
She went forward and smiled, “Hello, everybody.”
Actually, there were only three people, Marshall, Lucas and Clara.
Seeing Katherine’s here, Lucas directly stood up and answered, “We’re all waiting for you.”
There was a table set in the yard with four cane chairs beside it.
Marshall was sitting opposite to Lucas.
He only glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
Katherine also ignored Marshall. She put her phone on the table and said, “The store is busy with
decorating and I have to go there to check.”
Lucas smiled and responded, “You are really busy today.”
Katherine laughed out loud and said, “I am only trying to find things to do.”
After saying this, the screen of her got bright.
Marshall took a glimpse and found it was a Facebook text.
Katherine also noticed it. It was from Kyle.
Today was weekend and Hector would take a day off. Kyle would definitely call him to accompany.
Maybe he was texting Katherine because he wanted someone to play mahjong together.
Katherine unlocked the phone and found Kyle sent her a short video.
She glanced at Clara, who was opposite to her and directly clicked it.
Kyle and Hector were in the video and the former one smiled happily to the camera.
Kyle said, “Come on, Kathy. We are already here and are waiting for you.”
Then made a joke and added, “Hector has been talking about you for a long time. Well, there’s not
telepathy between you guys. It’s late in the morning now. Where are you?”
Clara stared at Katherine’s phone and showed a shallow smile.
Katherine seemed to be resigned after playing this noise video. She directly sent him a voice message,
saying she had things to deal with and couldn’t come.
Clara said after Katherine completed, “You are really in a good relation with Kyle.”
Katherine smiled, raised up her eyes to look at her and said, “You’re so bad at reading comprehension.
It was Kyle who sent him the message and video. How could you associate it with Hector?”
Clara was not angry when hearing this and said, “Well, you also have a good relation with Kyle.”
Katherine leaned against the chair and turned to look at Lucas, asking, “Where is younger Mr. Grant
now? Is he busy?”
She wanted to make Katherine awkward by mentioning something else.
Clara tidied her hair and looked at somewhere else.
Lucas replied, “He’s not busy now and is in the main building. This year his birthday is on weekend and
everybody have spare time to gather together. Now he is chatting with your other uncles.”
Katherine nodded and said, “So there are only our family. I thought at first that he would invite people
from other families.”
Clara twinkled her eyes and understood Katherine was referring to her.
However, she also felt a bit uneasy because people present were all in the Grant family and only her
was not one of them.
Lucas seemed not to understand what Katherine meant and played the fool. He said in a serious look,
“Yes. My mother told me it was the Grant family’s party and wouldn’t invite strangers.”
Katherine compressed her lips and showed a clear smile.
Lucas was really good at understanding and telling lies.
Katherine’s phone vibrated again. This time, Marshall sat straight and took her phone.
He entered the password quickly to check Kyle’s new message.
It was a voice message, saying they were so sad when hearing Katherine couldn’t come because he
waited for a long time for both Katherine and Hector to have spare time.
Marshall directly sent him a voice message, “Kyle, I really have some family business today and don’t
know when it will end. If it ends up quickly, I can invite you for a drink.”
He was representing Katherine by saying those words.
Katherine was startled and what she thought was that she really had to change her lock screen’s
password.
It was all because she was too lazy to change it.
Both Clara and Lucas were surprised. However, compared with Lucas, who suddenly became calm,
Clara showed a terrible expression.
She was sensitive because she knew Marshall was expressing his sovereignty by doing this.
She knew Marshall didn’t get along well with Katherine.
Mrs. Grant had told her everything that they were getting so close to the divorce stage.
Now Clara figured out what was happening because Mrs. Grant told her Marshall didn’t like Katherine
at all and the reason why they didn’t get divorced was because Katherine came to find him when he
was on business.
Marshall was kind-hearted and didn’t make up his mind to break up with her.
Besides, considering old Mr. Grant’s wish, Marshall gradually changed his mind.
Mrs. Grant told Clara those things seriously and didn’t seem to fake it.
But what did Marshall mean by answering her message?
It didn’t seem that he was not concerned about her.
Seeing it was Marshall’s voice, Kyle directly called him.
He was careless as he always did and said, “Hey, Marshall. I almost forget you will also take a day off.
Come here, both of you. Our four can play mahjong together.”
Katherine was speechless and rolled back her eyes.
Instead, Marshall smiled and said, “We really have family business to deal with. We will find you later
today if we have time. If not, we can meet tomorrow.”
Kyle sounded what he said was reasonable and said, “Yes. I will prepare things and wait for you. You
must come this time.”
Marshall agreed, chatted with him for a while and finally hanged off.
He then handled out the phone to Katherine.
Katherine couldn’t ask him why did he use her phone because they were in front of Clara and Lucas.
They really had to act as a loved couple.
Lucas landed his eyes on Katherine’s phone and said mildly, “How did you know Kyle? It seems that
you are good friends.”
Katherine put the phone in her bag and answered, “Yes, I know him from Hector. Maybe it’s because
Kyle and I really have many similar hobbies and that’s why we become friends.”
Lucas slowly nodded and replied, “I see.”
After seeing this, he turned to look ahead.
Mrs. Grant came here with a servant and the servant was holding a plate.
Her expression suddenly changed when seeing Katherine, while the latter one showed a wide
smile.
