They saw Clara a few stores away when they just turned around.
She was shopping with Mrs. Henderson and joking about something.
Katherine really didn’t feel anything special when she saw Clara.
She just glanced at Frances automatically and wondered if she would feel awkward as she was always the one standing by Clara’s side before.
Frances just paused and grinned, “Clara? What are the odds?”
Clara was dumbfounded when she saw Frances shopping with Katherine.
She was in total shock and greeted Frances after a long time.
Marshall stared at Clara as he had wondered before if she had anything to do with Katherine’s accident earlier.
So now that he had finally met her, he couldn’t help giving her critical eyes.
Mrs. Henderson was equally taken back when she saw Frances accompanying Katherine as she heard that the relationship between Frances and Marshall had gone south because of Katherine and Marshall had blocked Frances completely.
She actually lamented how terrible can a mother be to be blocked by her own son.
But now it seemed like they were quite all right.
Frances’ relationship with Katherine had obviously improved.
Katherine glanced at Clara and looked away, then she said to Frances, “Let’s go. I got to stop by the store later. Margaret is there alone and I’m really concerned.”
Frances nodded and left with Katherine and Marshall after making eye contact with Clara.
While they were passing by, Frances said, “That Margaret seems like a great girl and is being a great help. You should give her a raise.”
Katherine smiled, “Sure, I would give her commission later. It’s better than a pay rise.
Frances nodded and said something, but Clara was unable to hear the whole conversation as they were far away.
Mrs. Henderson frowned and looked at Clara, “Since when did they become so peaceful?”
Clara shook her head slowly, “I don’t know.”
Gazing at Frances and Katherine’s back, her face slowly darkened. “What are they doing together now?”
Then she sneered, “But that Frances is quite useless. She can just say some nice words to Katherine.”
Clara then held Mrs. Henderson’s arms. “Let’s go. We don’t care anyway.”
Mrs. Henderson was quite worried, “But it seems like that Frances had embraced her. It should be quite easy now if Katherine wants to go back to the Grants.”
Clara paused and answered, “It’s not difficult for her to go back even if Frances don’t like her. She doesn’t have too much weight in that house.”
Mrs. Henderson pondered for a while and nodded, “Right. Marshall has never listened to her words anyway.”
Then they just left the mall.
After shopping in a few other stores, Marshall drove Frances and Katherine to the store.
Marshall asked on the way, “What happened? Didn’t you chat with Clara recently? You seemed a bit odd when you two met.”
Frances nodded, “Nothing happened really. She said she was busy recently and I just didn’t feel like disturbing her.”
“Busy?” Marshall deliberated, “There aren’t any business dealings that need Clara between the Grants and the Hendersons recently. What is she busy with?”
Marshall had asked someone to investigate Clara in the past two days and found that she was just staying at home after getting off work.
