Marshall didn't care whether Clara was having dinner with Frances or not. Anyway, he recently had no plan to meet Frances.
Perhaps Frances was intended to invite him for dinner before, but she must be irritated by his last call now.
Well, at least, Marshall can have an easy period without Frances.
A while later, Khalid came with documents in his hand. He passed by Marshall's office and he came in directly while seeing Marshall inside.
He asked, "What's going on? Peter told me that you have to handle something in the morning. So what's it?"
Marshall thought for a moment and then said, "There was something wrong with Katherine, so I go give a hand."
He nodded, "Katherine has no families here. Although you have a divorce from her, your grandfather still cared about her in the last moments of his life. So you give her a hand at any time if you can.”
Marshall nodded and then asked, “I heard that you often go to the hospital to take care of a friend.”
With an awkward face, he looked over to Marshall.
He nodded, “Yes, my friend was hurt and lived in the hospital. So I take care of her there.
Marshall laughed, “Mom doesn’t know, right?”
Khalid replied, “It doesn’t matter whether she knows or not.”
Marshall nodded, “Hope mom can be aware of that. But you’d better not get your picture taken. Otherwise, troubles will trouble you.”
Khalid laughed, “Ok, I will pay attention to it. But I am not guilt, but think it annoyed if there are some rumors.”
His tone was full of sincerity. So Marshall seemed to believe that his father didn’t cheat her mother.
After the talk, Khalid was about to leave, but he then turned to him, “I heard that Lucas had blind dates these days, but failed. You are in the same age with him. You ask him what kind of lady he likes, if convenient.”
Marshall paused, “Ok, I will talk with him about it.”
Then Khalid left.
Looking at his back, Marshall began to think. Why did he, a talented man of good temper, marry Frances?
Thinking here, he smiled.
He had a full afternoon. When it’s time to ring out, Peter came to his office.
Closing the door, Peter reported, “I had Clara investigated. She is clean. She recently has simple activities, no meeting with Katherine and someone else suspicious.”
Marshall just nodded. Peter took seated, “Anyone else is blamed? I suspect nobody.”
Marshall thought for a long while, “The Bennett family could be a target, although I don’t think they would do such things.”
Except the Bennett family, he can suspect no one.
Peter nodded, “Yes, they are the last possible party who might harm Katherine.”
After the talk, Peter left.
A while later, Clara texted him. She sent him a picture of her and Frances having dinner, but the following words had nothing to do with the picture.
She said “Mrs. Grant made some complaints that you don’t trust her. Is there any misunderstanding between you and her?”
