Clara thought this was an easy thing to deal with.
Khalid and Frances put themselves in an awkward situation and it was impossible for them to remarry,
especially when there was a so-called ex-lover of Khalid in the hospital.
Besides, Frances really had a terrible characteristic and nearly all women were better than her in terms
of temperament. Hence, they seemed more impossible to be together when Khalid already had a lover.
Clara couldn’t offend Khalid if she wanted the Grant family to accept her.
She could tell that Marshall also felt repelling towards his mother. It seemed that Frances could hardly
win Marshall’s trust.
She shouldn’t stay too close with her at the point because it would make Khalid and Marshall feel
uneasy.
Frances, on the other side, was waiting for Clara’s reply.
Clara signed and said, “Auntie, I also want to help you, but there are not too many chances for me and
Marshall to meet each other. Marshall is already uneasy about what we have done last two times and
he won’t agree to see me at this point. Sometimes he won’t reply if I text him. Sorry, I cannot help.”
Frances remained silence.
Clara tried to act like she was in a dilemma and suggested, “How about I try to text him and call him?
It’s the best if it works. If not, don’t blame me.”
Frances said after a while, “You seldom meet each other now?”
Clara replied, “Yes, there is tension between us. In order to avoid others’ gossip, we haven’t met each
other for a long time.”
Frances then smiled, which made Clara felt weird.
After that, Frances replied, “Well, then, I will try to find a solution by myself.”
Frances directly hanged up the phone.
Clara threw the phone on the passenger seat randomly.
She showed no expression and remained indifferent.
Frances put her phone in the bag, thought for a while when standing still and smiled.
She took the bag and left the café, staring at the Grant family’s company for a long time.
At the end, she stopped a car and left.
She had no place to go and let the driver drive around the road. Then she finally decided to go to
Katherine’s store.
Katherine and Margaret were busy in the store. Kyle had placed an order for a great deal and they
were preparing the goods.
Frances went into the store with a terrible expression. Katherine was startled and stared at her, asking,
“What’s wrong? Are you coming to smash my store?”
Frances snorted, “I can afford your worthless store.”
Katherine lowered her head and kept working, saying directly, “I have to thank you if you smash it. I
don’t want you reparation. I just want you to stay in jail for a couple of days to learn how to behave.”
Frances stared at her madly, “Katherine, you’re really reckless nowadays.”
Katherine smiled, “I have always been reckless and I suppose you know it well.”
Frances gritted her teeth, paused for a long time, and then went to sit by the window.
Katherine was a little surprised because she thought Frances would smash the door and left.
Why would she decide to stay here?
Margaret waited for a while and went to ask what she wanted to order.
Actually, Frances didn’t want to order anything because she had already served herself in the previous
café.
However, she knew Katherine was bad-tempered and would definitely satirize her if she stayed here
without ordering anything. Hence, she randomly ordered something.
Actually, Katherine was not in the mood to care about here because she was too busy working.
She called Margaret to check the numbers and different matches of various kinds.
Frances turned to look outside when sitting on the seat and felt extremely uncomfortable and disturbed.
She never expected that Clara would temporize her.
Frances used to treat her whole-heartily.
She knew Marshall would get angry if she asked him out to date with Clara, but she did so in order for
them to be together.
However, Clara wouldn’t help her on such a trivial thing.
Frances felt frustrated but was still finding excuse for Clara in her mind.
She knew that Marshall always disliked Clara and it was understandable that Clara didn’t want to hurt
their relation because of her.
She had noticed that Clara went to the company. It was possible that she came to help her, but it didn’t
work out. That was why she temporized her on the phone.
Clara went to meet Marshall. However, because Peter was also present, she couldn’t say things
frankly.
Frances came up with lots of reasons to explain what Clara had done.
She felt better after thinking about all the possibilities.
Katherine was always busy on the other side. Someone came to buy things and it was all under
Margaret’s charge. Katherine was in charging of packing the boxes and lifting things. She really did
those things carefully.
Margaret couldn’t help satirizing her when turning around, “I can tell you’re born to labour.”
Katherine heard that because Margaret said it in a loud voice.
She didn’t look at her but responded, “Yes, I am. And I am making money by myself. Unlike someone
who rely on her parents when she’s at home and rely on her husband after getting married. Now she’s
dumped by her man and I don’t know who will she turn to.”
Katherine then turned to look at Margaret and asked, “Make a guess.”
Margaret knew she was talking about Frances. She felt a bit awkward and didn’t reply.
Katherine then said to herself, “I guess she will probably rely on her left fundings or go to find her
parents. Nowadays the blind men are less and less and no one want to have an old princess in their
house.”
Frances suddenly stood up and yelled, “Katherine.”
Katherine didn’t look at her and smiled, “Pay you bill if you’re finished. Actually, I don’t want to serve
you this meal. I only do that out of pity.”
Frances popped her eyes and went forward, “Who are pitiful?”
Katherine pointed at the mirror and said, “Go to check the mirror and you will find out who I am
referring to.”
Frances stood still when gritting her teeth and staring at her.
She couldn’t compete with her in terms of quarrelling and fighting. She could only pose an angry face
beside her.
Katherine placed the boxes and turned to look at her, “You don’t have money? Well, then this meal is
on me.”
Frances was really irritated.
She took out the wallet and put a piece of money with large number on the table, “The rest is yours.”
Katherine looked at Margaret and said, “Take it. The rest is your tip. It will be rare to see her getting so
generous in the future.”
Katherine’s words were really hurting. Frances waited for a long time and left.
Katherine wanted to laugh out when seeing her angry face.
Frances herself couldn’t figure out her own situation yet and went to find her trouble. She should try to
win others’ trust at this point instead of coming to her store.
Margaret took the money and went to help Katherine, “Mrs. Grant is really a terrible person.”
Katherine smiled, “She’s not Mrs. Grant. She’s Frances and has no relation with the Grant family.”
Margaret also smiled and looked at her, “Why are you so serious? It’s only a title.”
Then she said, “It must be hard for Marshall to get along with her.”
Katherine was startled and turned around to look at her.
