CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 354 Finding Himself a New Love

In a mysterious tone, Marshall said, "Nothing strange was found from either the social circle of you or that of Katherine. The police suspected that they had caught the wrong guy, but were not so sure about whether the one was coming exactly for you guys. Now, things have become complicated, and it is possible that you have been involved in the affairs of some strangers. Had you seen anyone dressed like you when you went into the toilet?"

Katherine was a little surprised to the outcome, since she had thought that the guy was exactly coming for her.

A few days had passed since the thing happened, and Margaret had already forgotten the faces she saw in the toilet at the time.

She had been drinking that day, and was too excited to care about what other people in the toilet looked like.

What's more, it would be a little eccentric for someone to really look here and there and everywhere in such a place of sensitive use.

Margaret shook, "No, I've forgotten that."

Marshall sighed, "Fine, we shall look into things step by step. At least you two are safe for the moment."

Margaret pursed her mouth and said after pondering, "But I don't have anyone in a feud with me, nor does Katherine. Perhaps someone has indeed been misled about that."

Without any response, Marshall remained silent afterwards, thoughtfully and tensely.

After Margaret had finished, Marshall stretched himself, and said with a firm voice, "I'm leaving now. You guys can just continue your work."

Without looking at anyone, he stood up, tided his clothes and turned back to the front door.

Katherine stayed in the chair. Looking at the behind of Marshall, who had hailed a taxi and left, she heaved a long sigh.

The thing about Khalid had been a hot topic among those netizens for quite a long period. Katherine chose to leave it behind, since she knew it was nothing more than a stupid domestic affair. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

A few days had passed, the Walters called in again, and said the dinner party was going to be held the next day. By then, they would send people to pick her up and drive her to the place.

Katherine agreed, and decided to close the store earlier tomorrow, since the dinner party will be held in the evening.

Of course, she had let Margaret know about that.

Margaret smiled, "So, it's a date, isn't it?"

"Nope, I think they have some other intentions." Katherine was not really interested in the party.

Margaret sat opposite, and continued, "I thought you were going to meet Mr. Grant."

Katherine laughed, "Come on, you know it's not the truth. He is not even one of my friends now."

Marshall had not shown himself for the past two days, and possibly he had been busy working on a solution for the thing of the Grants.

Katherine closed the store at the night, and as she and Margaret were going to say goodbye to each other at before the front door, Margaret turned to Katherine, and said to her seriously, "Kathy, a few days ago when I came to the store, I happened to see Mr. Grant was having breakfast with an unknown woman. I think I should tell you that."

First stunned, Katherine then turned to Margaret, and answered after a few seconds of pause, "Well, it's quite normal. He is a good man by any measure after all."

Margaret stared at Katherine, and asked, "Don't you feel upset about that? I thought you had not yet gone over him."

"Nope, I have gone over him already. Our marriage is already a past tense, no matter for me, or for Marshall. And now, I'm happily leading a new life."Margaret heaved a sigh of relief, "That's great, maybe I have just been fusing about your status."

Saying goodbye to Margaret, Katherine was not in a hurry to hail a taxi. She walked along the way towards the direction of her house.

She judged that Clara would be the only one possible whom Marshall would have breakfast with.

'It was perfect.' She told herself.

The next day, Katherine came to the store as usual. However, she was stunned to find that there was a woman standing in front of the door and staring at the brand tablet of the store thoughtfully.

It was Frances. Without making any noticeable noises, Katherine waited aside.

After a long while, as Frances turned around, she was astonished to see that Katherine was standing behind.

She yelled, "God damn it, you startled me! Why the hell are you standing behind like a ghost?"

Katherine looked at her , and went straight to open the front door, "Why are you here? Buy yourself a share of breakfast or what?"Frances followed behind and looked here and there inside, "Well, you are doing quite good business, aren't you?"

Then, she stood aside for a while, with her eyes wandering from the people passing by.

Without saying anything, Katherine stood by the counter.

Margaret was also there, and was stunned at the first sight seeing Frances.

She had watched the video several times, and thus she could clearly remember what Frances looked like.

Without paying any attention to Margaret, Frances just simply looked around the inside of the store.

Then, she came to the front of the counter, and said, "Have Marshall recently been here?"

Katherine was dumbfounded for the moment. Then, as she was cleaning up the counter, she said, "If you're looking for Marshall, you're supposed to give him a call instead of wandering about here."

With her mouth pursed, Frances was too awkward to say anything to respond.

These days, she did have given a several calls to Marshall, but there was no one answering the phone.

Katherine soon figured out what happened from the embarrassed expression on her face. She laughed, "He has not been here in recent days, and I have not seen him elsewhere either. Maybe you can just go to the house of the Grants or his company."

Frances shifted her eyes. She had been to the two spots looking for him, but she was too scared and awkward to get inside.

She dared not to step into the house of the Grants, since she would have to encounter the other mistresses of family, with whom she had treated with extreme acerbity and rudeness; she dared not to step into Marshall's company, since she was afraid of the eyes of those employees, who might have

watched the shameful video of her either, and could easily recognize that she was exactly the one in the video.

Indeed, she did have witnessed the figure of Marshall when she was patrolling around the front gate of the two places.

Unfortunately, he was always accompanied by someone, and she failed to find any chance to come up and talk to him.

Katherine was busy at work for the moment. She said, "Marshall is not going to be here no matter what."

Frances frowned, and said with hesitation, "Then, just call him to come along. I have something to tell him."

Katherine sneered, "Why should I? I don't want to see him."

With a pause, Katherine turned to Frances as if she was looking at a fool, and continued, "Listen, I have no obligation to help you anyway, nor do I ever want to do so. I don't think I have to remind you of our relationship."

Frances glared at her, "How dare..!"

She tailed off into silence, since Katherine was right. They were indeed in a bad relationship.

She was here only because she had no other choice.

Sneeringly, Katherine said, "What? Why don't you just turn to your dear Clara and ask for her help? I bet that she can get in touch with Marshall too."

Slowly, an embarrassed look emerged on Frances' face.

She did have contacted Clara at the beginning, but no matter how many times she tried to ask for help from her, the answer would always be that she was busy at work.

Frances didn't know whether Clara was really occupied with her business, but she could still remember that Clara would always have had time for her before.

With her mouth pursed, Frances hesitated for a while, and said, "She is busy at work."

Katherine answered, "And so do I! Isn't it clear enough for you to see how busy I'm at the moment?"

Frances pulled her face, and was seemingly unhappy with her answer.

However, for Katherine, whether Frances was happy or not, it had nothing to do with her.

She hummed tones, and got everything prepared.

Not after a while, there were guests coming in, and Frances, after a second thought, chose to take her seat by the French window.

She was seemingly going to wait until either Katherine called Marshall here or he showed up himself.

Katherine, on the other hand, chose to leave her alone and take care of her own business.

A while later, as the number of the guests grew fewer, Katherine pondered for a moment, and turned to Margaret, "Go and get her a cup of coffee. She is such an eyesore sitting there and doing nothing."

Margaret nodded, and brought Frances a cup of coffee.

Frances was stunned at first sight, and then turned around to look at Katherine.
