CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 122

A few moments later, the old lady whirled. “Come inside, both of you.”

“I’m not going in there.” Katherine rasped.

She was reckless now. “Your family is too noble for someone like me to enter your house. So much for me and Marshall. I’ll call the media. You Grants got power, I believe you can deal wih whatever happens next. But I’m getting myself out of this.”

She turned to leave as she finished.

For an instant, the old lady was anxious too. She turned back around, her voice stern. “Don't you dare to leave here!”

Katherine came to a halt, her back to old Mrs. Grant, no word.

The old lady eyed Katherine, and then Mrs. Grant.

Suddenly, Mrs. Grant dared not even cry anymore.

Katherine defied even Old Mrs. Grant, and that seemed to Mrs. Grant that Katherine was determined to make a splash of this.

“What happened?” the old lady spoke.

It’s Mrs. Grant who she asked.

Mrs. Grant chewed her lip, did not know what to say.

Early this morning, she had informed the old lady about Katherine staying in Marshall’s room last night.

The old lady had even made a call to Marshall about the matter.

And Marshall made it plain on the phone. He came on to Katherine, he forced Katherine.

Katherine had nothing to do with this, he said.

The old lady had told Mrs. Grant not to make an issue of this.

It could only be normal that such thing happened to a man and a woman in the same room alone.

And they had a marriage before.

Let them mind their own business, the old lady told her.

It’s best that they do not meddle with it.

And Mrs. Grant had agreed.

She dared not tell the old lady now that things had so worsened.

She provoked Katherine.

Katherine stood where she was, utterly impatient.

From the look on Mrs. Grant, the old lady knew for an instant that they were on the wrong.

She looked disappointed. “She said something inappropriate, didn't you?”

Mrs. Grant chewed her lip, and averted her eyes to avoid eye contact with anyone.
