When Marshall got off work and arrived home, he did not see Frances Mason. He was surprised.
Khalid Grant had not come back yet. He had a dinner party tonight.
Katherine Jordan was in the room. She looked at her cellphone lying on the bed.
Marshall went in and got off his coat, “Isn’t my mother here?”
“Yep,” Katherine Jordan answered, without looking at Marshall. “Mason’s family felt that it was not appropriate for her to live here, so they called her back.”
Marshall was surprise because he had never thought of this point. Then he thought it carefully, and got into a conclusion that it was reasonable.
He nodded. “I don't know how my dad going to react when he gets back.”
Katherine Jordan said, “I am looking forward to what he would do next.”
Khalid Grant changed a suit of household clothes. Then the cellphone that he threw on the bed rang.
He had already sat on the bed, so he took the cellphone and answered it. The voice of the other side was a little low, so Katherine Jordan could not hear it.
Marshall listened for a while, then he stood up, “Wait a minute. Please speak slowly.”
As he said this, he was already walking outside.
Katherine Jordan was surprise. She turned to look at Marshall.
She did not know who made the call. He even avoided her to hear.
Katherine Jordan stared at the door for a while, and then she turned her gaze. Now she had no curiosity about Marshall’s slightly furtive behavior.
And there Marshall stood in the corridor with furrowed brows.
His subordinate told him about the matter. “Okay,” Marshall said, “You can deal with this matter directly. You know how to do, right?”
His subordinate paused for a moment, obviously a little surprised, “Won’t you and madam come forward?”
Marshall chuckled, “No need. She doesn’t have any relationship with us. There’s no need to see her.”
The man thought about it and said, “I see.”
Marshall reminded him, “Don't hit too hard. If you can drive them out of the door, just drive them away.”
Receiving his commission, the subordinate hung up the phone.
Marshall didn’t look very well.
He looked back at the bedroom door, then turned and went downstairs.
Originally, since Reuben Jordan was beaten, he thought Reuben Jordan would tell the woman to restrain herself. He did not expect that both of them were dying for money.
Marshall smoked a cigarette downstairs. Before long Old Mrs. Grant said the dinner was ready.
No need to call him, Marshall went downstairs himself.
Since Khalid Grant had a party this day and Frances Mason returned home, it was quiet around the dining table.
Old Mrs. Grant looked at Khalid Grant and Frances Mason’s seats and sighed, “More people more lively. Since they are not here, I feel lost."
Katherine Jordan smiled, “You can let elder Mr. Grant go over and pick up Frances. Soon the house will be lively again.”
Marshall, who was having his dinner headed down, said, “When dad comes back, I will tell him about it. Let’s see what his opinion is.”
Old Mrs. Grant looked at Katherine Jordan, and then looked at Marshall. She just smiled and didn’t say anything.
As soon as Marshall finished his dinner and put down the folks, his cellphone rang.
He took a look at the cellphone. Then he picked it up and went out of the dining room.
Marshall gave a quick glance at his cellphone just now. When she saw the caller ID, she knew the call was made by one of Marshall’s subordinates.
With silent lips, Katherine Jordan looked at the sight of Marshall’s back disappeared from the living room, and then she tutted twice, “What a busy day for him!”
Old Mrs. Grant took a tissue and wiped her mouth. “Don't worry. He must be busy because of his business.”
After finishing, Grandma Grant added, “Marshall has a character that a common girl would not have a crush on him.”
Katherine Jordan raised eyebrows. Old Mrs. Grant could not appreciate her grandson rightly. Marshall’s character and temper were not so good though, he was rich with a handsome look. Besides, he had good moral. All of these will certainly made up his unpleasant personality.
