Katherine pinched the phone, stood by the bed and thought about it. Finally, she did not call Marshall
up.
She did not know whether she was wrong. She felt that Clara should really have something important
to say to Marshall.
Katherine washed up hastily and scrubbed Marshall's face and hands. Then she went to sleep.
Due to the biological clock, Marshall woke up on time the next day.
Katherine was a little sober when she heard the sounds made by Marshall.
But Katherine just squinted her eyes and said to Marshall, “Clara called you last night.”
Marshall was surprised and muttered, “Why did she call me again? It really gets on my nerves.”
Katherine did not open her eyes. She just tilted her mouth and smiled.
She really loved Marshall’s reaction.
Marshall touched her head, “Go back to sleep. I’m going to get up and go to work.”
“Okay,” Katherine answered. Then she did not forget to gossip, “Go to see whether dad came back last
night.”
Marshall did not pay any attention to that before.
He got up and went to the bathroom. At the same time, he said, “It’s good for him not to come back. I
think he stayed with mom yesterday.”
Well, that’s the best. If that’s true, Frances would fulfill her dream.
Katherine went to sleep again. When she woke up again, it was almost noon.
She was hungry and felt weak. She got up, washed quickly and hurried downstairs.
Grandma was sitting downstairs, drinking tea and watching TV.
Seeing Katherine, she lifted her eyes and said, “You’re really going too far. Khalid would come back
before. Now all of you don’t come back for dinner, just leave me at home alone.”
Katherine could not help laughing. She joked with grandma, “Maybe next time, I invite you to go with us
together.”
Grandma tolled her eyes. “Forget it. I can’t afford to do that.”
When Katherine went to the dining room, grandma came over with doubts in her tone, “It seems that
Khalid didn't come back last night.”
“Yes,” Katherine said, “But it’s good for him not to come back.”
Grandma frowned, “I am wondering where the brat stayed.”
Although grandma said that, Katherine thought she should understand what had happened.
Marshall's character was partly like Khalid. Both of them were very dedicated and could not move on
easily.
Khalid could only stay with Frances. He could not be seduced by any other woman at all.
Katherine thought grandma also understood this truth.
Marshall arrived at the company. After dealing with some routines in the office, he went to a meeting.
Lucas also attended the meeting.
Before the meeting, Marshall went and sat next to Lucas, “Do you have any communications in
business activities with the Henderson family recently?”
When he heard such a question, Lucas was surprised and did not respond at once. “We keep in touch
with the Henderson family all the time as we always have their business orders.”
Marshall explained it carefully, “I don't mean that. Have you contacted Clara recently?”
“Oh,” Lucas said, “No, I only contacted her at the initial handover. I didn’t contact her afterwards.”
Marshall nodded to show that he understood.
He didn’t explain why he asked this question, and Lucas didn’t ask him why.
The meeting didn’t take long. When he came out of the meeting room, Marshall saw the staff of the
Henderson family coming out of the elevator.
Clara was not there.
He glanced and turned back to his office.
There were a lot of things to do next. Marshall was a little busy then.
Around noon, he got a call from one of his men which told him the small monitor’s buyer was found.
The buyer was a humble person that had nothing under his name.
That man lived at the junction of the city and suburb. His house was ordinary.
From the information found, the person had no reason to buy such advanced monitoring equipment.
Besides, the subordinate also mentioned a very strange thing. That man neither did any small business
nor did he have any job.
In other words, according to the current situation, he had no income.
However, his fixed deposit had not been reduced.
In other words, someone provided him with life savings without using his own money.
That was a little interesting.
Marshall smiled. That person must have helped some people on some matters, so he was given such
support.
Or hazard a guess, that person was scheming and plotting. He disguised himself as an ordinary citizen
and then did big things secretly.
Marshall said, “It’s getting more and more interesting.”
He asked his subordinate to check the man’s recent itinerary to know who the man met and who he got
closest to.
Besides, he told the subordinate to investigate the routes to discover where that man often went
recently.
As long as that person did something, it was impossible for him to hide it.
There’s always a way to find out.
Hung up his phone, Marshall got up and went out.
He went to Khalid's office.
He had been trying to gossip all morning, but he did not have time. Finally, he got the free time.
Khalid was busy with his work, but he looked very energetic.
When Marshall pushed the door in, Khalid looked up.
Marshall didn’t know whether his thought was wrong. Marshall felt that Khalid was furtive as if he had
something that was afraid of being found out.
It’s not common for Khalid to show such an expression.
Marshall walked over and stopped across from Khalid.
Without saying a word, Marshall laughed first. His laugh made Khalid’s expression a little uncontrollable
embarrassment.
After a while, Marshall asked, “Were you with mom last night?”
Khalid didn’t answer this question. He just took a document from the side and directly handed it to
Marshall, “Go back and have a look at this.”
Marshall couldn't help laughing. “You answer my question first, to say yes or no. If you keep so evasive,
I’m more likely to misunderstand you.”
He spoke straightforward, which made Khalid seem unable to hide anymore. “Well,” Khalid said, I
drank too much last night.”
Marshall nodded and asked a crucial question, “Do you want to remarry my mother and when?”
Khalid didn’t avoid answering the question. He thought for a moment and he said, “I think you’d better
ask your mom’s opinion.”
Hearing Khalid’s words, Marshall understood that he must have the idea of remarriage. Therefore,
Marshall stopped asking. He turned and went out with the document.
He did not know why he envied Khalid a bit inexplicably.
Actually, Frances was very affable. If Khalid proposed to remarry, Frances would readily agree.
She certainly would not like Katherine who refused to remarry again and again.
Marshall felt his heart sink when he thought about Katherine’s attitude towards remarriage.
He didn’t know why it was impossible for her to get the marriage certificate first and continue to test him
during the marriage.
He visited Hector yesterday. Although he got the upper hand in the whole process, he was at a loss for
what to do next.
