CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 237

Peter cast a glance at Marshall. "Now no one can tie Katherine down and she just sets herself free."

Marshall was signing the papers. "That’s great. She used to be heavily constrained, and it’s good for her to live a free life now."

Peter thought a while and nodded. "Exactly. A girl like Katherine won’t lose in this society. After all, she’s pretty."

Marshall said no more.

Smiling, Peter believed that he had done delivering the message.

When Marshall signed all the papers, Peter said goodbye and left the office.

Marshall folded his arms on the bureau, his gaze falling upon the cup on the corner.

This cup was bought by Peter later, while the last one was thrown away by Katherine.

Marshall stared at the cup for a long while before frowning slowly.

The following afternoon was quite busy. Marshall went to check the warehouses with Khalid.

After that, he met a client.

Time passed more quickly when one was busy.

Khalid and Marshall didn’t come back to office until it was almost time to get off work.

Marshall’s phone rang when they were in the elevator.

He took out his phone, looked at the screen and answered it after a short hesitation.

It was from the man who was commissioned to investigate Patrick and Alexis. He reported that he had already done the investigation and would send Marshall the information after he organized it.

Marshall asked, "Is there any useful leads?"

"Yes," the man replied at once. "These two maintain a high profile in their lives, so it’s not hard to get information. They keep in touch with some of the senior staff of Bennett & Co. publicly, so it didn’t take us much effort."

Marshall said, "OK, send me the information, and I’ll contact you again when necessary."

The man responded yes and hung up.

The moment Marshall put away his phone, Khalid asked, "Who was on the phone?"

Marshall answered him naturally. "It was from my subordinate. I asked him to look into something for me, and now it’s done."

Since Marshall didn’t go into the details, Khalid stopped asking questions but grunted.

When the two got out of the elevator, the employees were about to leave the office.

Peter had to supervise the renovation work in Katherine’s store, so he said goodbye to Marshall and left.

Marshall came back to his office and went through the papers he needed to sign.

He had to meet a client a while later before going home.

In fact, Marshall didn’t have to meet this client, because Khalid wanted to leave him to Lucas, but Marshall offered to meet him.

Marshall didn’t understand why he would do this. Probably he just didn’t want to go home like before.

It was an easy job. He just needed to meet this client in a tea house, and that was all.

Marshall got ready and called the client first.

The client happened to be running errands outside. He answered the phone and made an appointment with Marshall in a tea house nearby.

Marshall knew that tea house, so he drove there right away.

There weren’t many people in the tea house at this time, so the two didn’t go to one of the boxes on the second floor.

The tea house was furnished in a unique and classic way.

Marshall and the client sat down by the window. Opera was being played at the bar counter. Probably because there weren’t many customers now, the cashier was humming softly with the music.

The client was very courteous to Marshall, saying that they should have talked about business over dinner, but since he still had something to attend to later, they couldn’t have dinner together tonight.

Marshall smiled and said, "It’s OK. I understand that you’re busy."

The two met today to talk over material supply in the following days.

The Grant Group had worked with this client for years, and Marshall had also met him for many times, so he just made demands straightforwardly.
