Marshall stared at Katherine’s phone for a while and then got Kyle’s call.
It was Kyle who sent Katherine the photo via Facebook, so Marshall answered the call right away and put it on speaker.
Katherine sneered, “Did you get the answer, Kyle?”
Kyle was hesitant and was stammering. It was clear that Katherine won’t be pleased with the answer.
Katherine then repeated, “Can’t you trace back to who released the photo?”
Kyle breathed a sigh, “No, I’ve got it. The Grants exposed the photo to the media.”
Katherine suddenly chuckled, “I’d guessed it.”
Eyebrows knitted, Marshall looked stern.
Katherine then took over the phone, “Thanks a lot, Kyle. I will treat you to dinner sometime.”
Then she just hung up the phone.
Marshall marched right upstairs and went to his room directly.
He opened the drawer and found that his divorce certificate and settlement were still in it.
Marshall examined them carefully and suddenly remembered something.
Teeth grinned, Marshall felt powerless and hurriedly called Khalid who was in the study.
Khalid actually was not shocked to get Marshall’s call and thought that he was just going to discuss with him what happened on the Internet.
After picking up the phone, Khalid sounded calm, “Have you thought about what to do next? The PR Department had drafted several announcements, but they were all subpar to me. Do you want to give them a look?”
“No.” Marshall answered, “Dad, I want you to do something for me. Can you ask mom did she come over today and take photos of my divorce certificate and then release them to the media? Dad, I don’t want to ask her myself. I might sound angry. Can you do this for me?”
Khalid paused, “What did you say? Your mom did that?”
Marshall closed his eyes, “Just ask my mom did she really do that.”
Khalid immediately stood up, “Okay.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Pinching at the phone, Marshall mulled for a while and decided to go downstairs.
Katherine was sitting on the sofa with the TV on. Marshall didn’t know which program she was watching, but she seemed happy and beamed with smiles.
Marshall took a glance of Katherine and instantly felt powerless.
It looked like that she just didn’t care at all.
Marshall froze on the stair for a while and went back to his own room.
Sitting on the sofa, Katherine just couldn’t bring herself to smile anymore.
Leaning against the couch, she let out a breath slowly and became absent-minded.
If the photo was indeed released by the Grants, she actually can figure out who did it.
It looked like that Marshall didn’t have a clue about the photo.
But if Mrs. Grant was the one who got the photo, it practically meant that the whole world would get to know it soon.
So her divorce with Marshall was bound to be known by the public.
How sweet. She can finally get the freedom she longed.
Katherine then continued watching the TV half-heartedly for a while, and finally found it unbearable and shut it down.
Marshall then hurriedly went downstairs and sprinted out of the door and then got on the car.
The whole process only lasted for probably seconds.
Katherine then raised her eyebrows, “Did he just fight with the Grants?”
