With the terms that the Bennett offered, Katherine would get the worst of it if she went.
The Bennetts are tough to get along with.
Her life would be rather peaceful if she were as meek as she used to have been.
But now that she got an explosive temper. Neither her life nor the Bennett’s would be comfortable.
Marshall had stood for a while, then he tossed the cigarette and returned to the house.
He walked pass Katherine’s room as he headed for his.
Involuntarily, he stopped to listen to what might be going on in the room.
But he heard nothing.
He forgot that the house had incorporated material with excellent sound insulation.
So no matter what sound Katherine might make, he would not hear.
Helplessly, Marshall returned to his room.
He closed the curtains when he entered, and then lied flat on the bed.
He was not sleepy at all but did not know what to do.
He rolled over on the bed, and then his phone aside rang.
It was Peter.
So he picked it.
Peter told him that they had contacted the hotel in Asela Island, who informed that they had covered public areas with surveillance cameras.
And that he had the surveillance tape of what happened outside Marshall’s room in hand along with some check-in data.
This information would be enough to cease the commotion on the Internet.
But the news didn't cheer Marshall so much.
He just told Peter that he knew in a plain tone.
Peter then asked if he’s feeling uncomfortable.
Marshall denied it.
But now he did not really know whether he’s feeling uncomfortable or not.
He felt messy inside, all kinds of odd feelings were surging up.
Peter continued, “Mr. Grant just came, said he had some files for you, but left when told you were not here.”
It was Lucas Grant that Peter was talking about.
His visit was not so much a big deal, Marshall did not know why Peter cared to mention it.
