Hearing Old Mrs. Grant’s words, Katherine got speechless.
Sensing that Katherine got awkward, Old Mrs. Grant directly asked if Katherine wanted to go to the
temples and burn incenses to Buddha.
Katherine’s first response was to reject and wondered that shouldn’t the Grants accompany her to do
such a thing.
It seemed inappropriate that her former grandson-in-law would go there with her.
Old Mrs. Grant heaved a sigh and explained that she noticed that Katherine drew an auspicious stick at
the Walter’s last time and wanted to get some of her luck.
Katherine grinned, “I’m really not that lucky. You know what I was suffering before.”
Old Mrs. Grant answered hurriedly, “The luck has definitely turned in your favor now. You know, the
Walters’ business actually started blooming after you drew that stick. They couldn’t have done it without
you.”
Old Mrs. Grant really had a way with words.
Katherine grabbed her hair, “Well, you can ask Marshall to go there with you. He is always in luck.”
Of course except for that he was forced to marry her.
Old Mrs. Grant then lowered her voice, “Kathy, just because that you got divorced with Marshall, you
didn’t want to do anything with us either?”
Clutching at her phone, Katherine didn’t know what to say.
She really didn’t want to get mixed up with the Grants after the divorce.
They can be friends, but not too close.
She can accept to get in touch with Marshall once in a while, but she felt rather messy and
uncomfortable to be seen together with the Grants.
Old Mrs. Grant then added, “I’ve never asked you to do anything for me, Katherine. Just this once,
could you please go there with me?”
Katherine let out a sigh and answered okay.
It looked like that she wouldn’t be able to get away with Old Mrs. Grant this time.
So she gave up negotiating and just agreed, but next time, she would feel comfortable to reject her.
Old Mrs. Grant seemed merry and told Katherine that she would ask driver to pick her up tomorrow.
Katherine answered, “Okay.”
Katherine sneered after hanging up for a while and actually missed the old days when she was on bad
terms with the Grants.
Hearing her words, Margaret chuckled, “I heard what you are saying. Old Mrs. Grant seemed nice.”
Katherine let out a light smiled, “Is that so?”
But the truth was that she was quite indifferent to her before and was only starting to be patient with her
after she got divorced with Marshall which was actually unwanted.
Katherine didn’t leave the store till noon. She went to the supermarket nearby and wanted to get some
groceries.
But she ended up seeing familiar faces near the fresh food section.
Katherine paused and didn’t expect to see Frances and Clara here who were chatting like mother
daughter.
Frances looked all right to her.
She thought that she would get dispirited or rather downhearted after the divorce, but she was not so
far different from before.
But it was probably because that the divorce hadn’t been released to the public and she still felt that
she had opportunities.
Katherine then looked away and started picking what she wanted to buy.
While Clara and Frances were joking with each other joyfully, they saw Katherine when they turned
around.
There were not many customers in the supermarket now, so Katherine was actually pretty eye-catching
with her splendid figure and great outfit.
Frances froze and frowned.
Clara was quite confused at first, “Auntie Frances, what...”
Before she can finish her sentence, she saw Katherine.
Clara was always good at hiding her emotions, so the surprised look just fled past her face and then
she resumed her smile. She then pushed the trolley towards Katherine, “What’s the odds, Miss
Jordan.”
Katherine slowly turned around, “What a coincidence.”
Lips pursed, Frances stared at Katherine. Though she still looked displeased as ever, her voice was
much calmer than before, “What are you doing here?”
But Katherine just ignored her. Frances dared not to mess with her at this point since Katherine can
well use the divorce to take revenge on her.
Clara glanced at Katherine and looked at Frances.
Frances was nothing unlike before today. Clara was actually surprised.
But Katherine just pushed the cart away after getting the fresh food without paying heed to them.
Frances cursed after Katherine was away, “Who does she think she is? A piece of garbage.”
Clara smiled, “Don’t be mad, auntie Frances. It’s not worth it to be angry with this kind of person.”
Frances actually had the audacity to discuss Katherine behind her back now, “It’s really beneath me to
fight with this kind of person. Do you know how ill-bred she can be? I really don’t want to waste my time
on her.”
“Right, of course.” Clara smiled. “Now that Marshall had divorced with her, the Grants won’t have
anything to do with her from now on. Don’t be angry. We ought to get rid of this kind of woman from our
life forever.”
Holding Clara’s hand, Frances said, “I would definitely not let that kind of girl marry into the Grants if it
weren’t for Old Mrs. Grant’s insistence. I’m really sorry on this matter.”
Clara pursed lips and forced a smile, “It’s a good thing that it’s all over now.”
Frances heaved a sigh, “Right. we’ll forget this forever as long as you can Marshall can be good
together.”
Clara thought for a while and looked at the direction that Katherine left.
The problem was that she felt that she was extremely distant to Marshall and there was no way to be
near him.
Marshall was not exactly enthusiastic to her, so she didn’t know where to start.
While Katherine just got back to her home with the groceries, Kyle called and joked that the something
horrible happened in the Bennetts.
Well, it would be weird if nothing happened to the Bennetts since he was constantly scheming them.
Kyle didn’t seem to hear the upset in Katherine’s voice and went on telling her that Patrick was robbed
last night when he asked the driver to stop the car midway while he felt like vomiting for he had drunk
too much.
Patrick was always hot-tempered and coupled with the stimulation of the alcohol, he got into a fight with
two rascals.
The driver was too frightened to get out of the car.
As Patrick was outnumbered, he ended up being sent to the hospital.
Katherine replied, “You hired those two rascals, right?”
“Damn right I did.” Kyle sounded cocky, “I’m the only one who can teach that jerk a lesson.”
Right, his reputation was even worse than Patrick’s. A wicked person ought to be harassed by his kind.
Kyle giggled, “I went to check on him this morning. His arms and legs are all fractured. Ariel was in
tears next to him.”
Katherine took a sigh, “You got to watch out. He might call the police.”
“Whatever.” Kyle sounded indifferent, “I gave those two rascals enough hush money.”
Then he added, “Right, I saw Marshall’s mother in the hospital today. I wanted to say hello to her, but
got angry when I thought of how did she mistreat you.”
Actually, Frances despised him, too. Kyle knew this perfectly well, so he didn’t want to invite a snub.
Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Really? What is she doing there?”
Kyle answered, “I don’t know. I saw her asking the doctor questions, but she sure looked sneaky in her
sunglasses and was avoiding people on purpose.”
Katherine thought for a while, “The Grants are all fine. Could it be that her parents are sick?”
Kyle denied directly, “Why did she sneak around then? I think that she was nosing around just like me.”
