CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 531

As for Khalid, he went back to the company in the afternoon, and the time was late when he arrived.

Instead of heading back to his own office, he went to Marshall.

Just in time, when he saw Marshall, Marshall had just finished reviewing and approving a file, leaning back in his chair with a tired face and kneading his brow ridge

Walking up and heaving a sigh, Khalid pulled out a chair for himself and sat down.

Marshall asked in the first place, "How's the thing going?"

Khalid pursed his lips and answered, "It's not going well. Things get complicated." 

For the hostess of the Hendersons and all her relatives, nearly all of them were sick, except for Louie. And as for the entire family of the second Hendersons' hostess, it had long been under the control and repression of its seniors, and thus they could never handle the family's daily affairs and support the whole Hendersons alone.

For the rest of its distant relatives, they just had done nothing practical but wrangling and messing around.

It was nothing wrong to say that things were getting complicated.

According to Khalid, the toxicology report of the residues inside of Jakub's stomach would be come out tomorrow,.

Maybe by then the truth of his death would be uncovered.

Once all the basic procedures of the hospital were done, what followed would be the funeral ceremony of Jakub.

Those youngsters of the family were too unsophisticated to get everything done decently and ceremoniously, so they seemed to have no better choice but to simply gather all the Hendersons around to say farewell to Jakub and then bury him in a proper place.

Tomas had talked about many things neither here nor there with Khalid today — the things seemed to have exerted a great impact on him.

In the meantime, Marshall was mentioned in his speech. He had drawn a quite beautiful image about the things between Marshall and Louie in the future: according to him, if Marshall were to marry Louie and reach out his helping hand to the Hendersons, Jakub would lead the whole family to even better prosperity than he could have ever done.

Khalid knew clearly that Tomas's sayings were only a bunch of exaggeration due to the shock of Jakub's death, so he didn't make any refutation in the face of him.

However, there was no possibility between Marshall and Louie, since Katherine already had his child.

As for Marshall, he was not going to leave Katherine behind in his attitude.

However, it seemed that Tomas had already forgotten what had actually happened out there, still immersing himself in the imagination of his own.

It was Louie who then came in and brought him back to reality.

Talking about the things of the Hendersons, Khalid couldn't help but sigh, "No one would have ever expected things to go like that."

Since it was nearly devastating to any family.

Marshall nodded after a pause of contemplation, "How is Tomas doing recently? Is he getting over this or not?"

Pondering, Khalid knitted his brows and then answered, "He's not been showing himself all along. According to Louie, it sounds like he's been lying on his back out of excessive grievance."

With his mouth slightly open round in shape, Marshall shifted the topic, "I heard that the old man used to be a go-getting careerist in business when he was young."

Marshall responded with a nod, "Yes, you are right, and even your own grandpa would be less hard-handed compared to him at that time. Besides, if necessary, he would even turn his back on his own family to attain what he wanted."

The reason why the distant relatives of the Hendersons chose to mess around with unemotional faces instead of doing something of practical help was all because of that his pretentiousness and cruelty in his young age irritated nearly all the relatives around him.

As if something seemed to occur to him, Khalid said, "I remembered that long ago your grandpa told me that one of the children of the Hendersons's distant relatives was badly sick and needed a huge amount of money. Without any choices, his parents came up to Ryan and begged for his help."

Although the medical fee was excessively unaffordable for the parents, the expense would be merely a drop in the bucket for the Henderson family.

In order to save their kid, the parents had nearly risked everything — they were willing to mortgage their house to Ryan, and even promised that they would send their kid to do unpaid work for him as long as he agreed to save their child.
