CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 457

At last, Cora left with Khalid, as Katherine had long expected.

Frances and Marshall saw them off at the gate, while Katherine watched them by the window. Frances put on a faint smile and acted decently. Meanwhile, Cora sat on the passenger seat of Khalid’s car, opened the car window, and waved at Frances.

An outsider would have thought that Cora and Khalid were a couple watching that scene.

The moment Khalid pulled away, Katherine called out to the two people down in the courtyard, "How could you have the two of them leave together? You should have called a taxi for Ms Wallis."

Marshall chuckled. "Only you would do something like that."

Katherine snorted, turned around and walked back into the room, while Marshall and Frances came back into the living room.

Marshall patted Frances on the shoulder. "Cheer up. Dad has no romantic feelings for Ms Wallis. You could tell from the look on his face."

Admittedly, Khalid didn’t look embarrassed or guilty at all, but Frances still felt uncomfortable. She could tell Cora liked Khalid. Besides, she was a great woman, and Frances believed she was no match for her.

Frances beat around the bush. "I’m tired. I’m going to bed."

Marshall came upstairs after her. "What did Katherine say to you when you were in the bedroom with her?"

Frances replied, "I asked her if she wants to marry you again, and she said she doesn’t. That’s all."

Marshall blinked his eyes. "Forget it. Let’s pretend I said nothing."

The two parted as they got to the second floor, and Marshall went back to the bedroom.

Katherine was in the bathroom applying a facial mask to her face, humming some song.

Marshall came over, opened the bathroom door and leaned against it. "Why are you so happy?"

Katherine shot a glance at him in the mirror and replied, "Ms. Wallis looks quite elegant."

Marshall paused and nodded. "Exactly, she has a good temper too, and I’m not surprised at all if my dad falls for her."

Katherine was done applying her facial mask, and looked back at Marshall. "So, do you want your parents to remarry, or do you want your dad to marry some other woman?"

Marshall gave a snort. "What kind of question is this? Do you need to ask?" But the next second, he thought to himself. If Frances was still that unreasonable woman she had used to be, he wished At last, Cora left with Khalid, as Katherine had long expected.

Marshall gave a snort. "What kind of question is this? Do you need to ask?" But the next second, he thought to himself. If Frances was still that unreasonable woman she had used to be, he wished Khalid would marry Cora, because Khalid weren’t high-handed as Frances, and he would only encourage her arrogance if they were together. Therefore, a gentle woman was more suitable for a man like Khalid.

Katherine went out of the bathroom, sat down on the bed and took her phone. "How’s your investigation going?"

Marshall came alive as he talked about the investigation. He stared at Katherine and answered her, "How did you know that Clara went to the hospital with someone else today? She could have gone alone."

Katherine glanced at Marshall out of the corner of her eye and snorted, "There’s a lot you don’t understand."

Katherine deliberately had Frances reveal to Clara that she would go to the hospital today, and Katherine had a feeling that Clara would follow her. As to her pregnancy, Clara must have known it long ago. Since she loved Marshall, Katherine’s baby would be a great obstacle to her.

Originally, Katherine wasn’t sure whether Clara would do something to her out of jealousy. She had always believed that Clara was smart and wiser about many things than others. But after listening to her words today, Katherine felt that this woman was probably so in love with Marshall that she had lost her reason. But after all, it was reason that she had lost, but not her intelligence. If Clara wanted to do something to her while she was in the hospital today, she wouldn’t have done it in person, so she must have brought someone else with her, and the two of them would have acted separately.

Katherine turned to look at Marshall. "So you find that she did bring someone with her?"

Marshall replied, "Yes, she brought a man with her. Neither he nor Clara checked their bodies, and that man left right after Clara left the hospital."

Katherine nodded. "That proves I’m right. Clara must have hired that man to do something to me."

But…

Katherine clicked her tongue. "There were so many people in the hospital, and how dared they do anything to me?"

Marshall frowned. "Maybe you’ve been thinking too much. I don’t think they’d do anything to you."

He didn’t know Clara quite well, but he didn’t believe she would do something to hurt Katherine, because in his eyes, Clara was a gentle girl.

Katherine thought for a moment and looked at Marshall. "A lot of things you don’t understand, but it’s better for you not to understand."

Now it was time for Katherine to remove her facial mask. She went to wash her face before applying face cream to herself.
