Of course Katherine was aware of this.
Under normal circumstances, Marshall can just deny that he had any anything with Clara beyond friends.
Surly the Hendersons wouldn’t want to tarnish Clara’s reputation.
Then the both parties could issue a joint statement, saying that they were only together for work.
Then she would come forward and say that she trusted Marshall 100% and doused the public opinion.
But the thing was, it was a bit special at this moment. There were people who wanted to capitalize on the whole accident and were spreading the rumors that there was something more between Marshall and Clara beside the business relationship.
So their explanation probably wouldn’t be believed.
And the most important thing was that Mrs. Grant showed the divorce certificate to Clara.
So Katherine guessed that the reason Marshall brought about the getting back together thing was that he didn’t have a fruitful discussion with the Hendersons.
If the Hendersons agreed to cooperate, Marshall wouldn’t want to go this far.
Katherine laughed, “It’s okay. I really don’t mind this sort of things honestly.”
Marshall let out a breath and was obviously conflicted.
Katherine even grinned, “I’m actually wondering what did you say to the Hendersons?”
Sitting with legs crossed, Marshall tapped his fingers on the lap, “The Hendersons are worried about Clara’s image. This we can understand.”
Katherine nodded, “Well, got it.”
The Hendersons must know that if they chose to cooperate with Marshall by clearing his name, Clara’s image would still be somewhat damaged.
The fact was that a lot of by-standers didn’t really care what the truth was, they would only believe what they were exposed to and actually would enjoy some dramatic plot.
Katherine didn’t want to continue. Some things would still remain the same no matter how much they discussed.
Katherine stood up, “Marshall, I actually wanted the public to know our divorce, too. It got nothing to do with what happened. It was just that I really feel like we can’t pretend like this anymore. We need to confront it.”
Marshall remained silent.
Katherine stared at him for a while and then went upstairs.
After returning back to her room, Katherine locked herself in and lied on the bed.
Then she touched her chest. Well, she actually didn’t feel that bad.
Good for her.
Marshall went out again at night.
Katherine actually heard the car driving away, but she didn’t mind it and went to the study.
Her Driver’s License Test One was around the corner and she had to review it.
She got a lot on her plate right now.
Katherine stayed at the study until midnight and Marshall didn’t return. She picked up the phone and checked the time. Then she gave Kyle a call.
Kyle was in the Haverfords’ mansion and she can hear women’s voice.
Katherine firstly smiled, “Can you talk right now?”
Kyle was available when it came to Katherine.
He replied, “Yeah. I’m all free.”
Katherine paused for a while and continued, “You know, the photo that you intercepted earlier is actually true. I divorced with Marshall long ago. But it’s just that I had a pact with him because of something, so the thing became what it is today.”
Kyle was not a bit surprised and answered, “Yeah. I’ve guessed it.”
Katherine immediately giggled, “I knew it.”
So Kyle instead asked another question, “What are you going to do now?”
Katherine didn’t really know. She just wanted to wait and see how would Marshall announce the news to the public.
But quite frankly, there wasn’t a great solution to this.
The public opinion would somewhat be the same no matter what they ended up doing.
Katherine thought for a while and said, “Marshall should know how to deal with this. Well, I honestly feel like that this whole accident wouldn’t affect me that much.”
