CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 542

By the time Marshall arrived at the Hendersons’ mansion, Clara’s parents had already come back and there were maids waiting by the gate.

They seemed to be waiting for Clara.

After getting out of the car, Clara said thanks to Marshall who nodded, “Take a rest. You must be tried.”

Then Clara just entered the mansion and Marshall drove away.

Marshall then drove to the company and went to Khalid’s office.

He didn’t talk about the Hendersons and just asked if Khalid stayed over at Frances’ house last night.

Khalid laughed, “Since when you are also so nosy as Katherine?”

Marshall nodded, “Well, it’s probably because that we’re more like each other after having all this time together.”

He then added, “Don’t change the subject. Were you with my mother last night?”

Khalid nodded, “Yeah, it was too late and I didn’t come back.”

What a great excuse.

Marshall then followed, “Well, actually, you could think about moving to my mom’s place. It would be much easier. Moreover, it can show your attitude. My mom would be more secure inside and my grandma would bend the rules a little bit.”

Khalid frowned and seriously mused this idea, “You do have a point.”

Marshall nearly broke into laughter.

He actually just gave Khalid an out to move in with Frances, otherwise, Khalid would be too embarrassed to bring up the matter himself.

Marshall raised his eyebrows, “Well then, you can think about this. I will leave you alone.”

He then turned around and went back to his office.

He actually didn’t have a lot of stuff to do now.

After waiting in the office for a while, Peter came in with a file.

Marshall first thought that it was about work, but he found out that it was about the Hendersons.

Marshall skimmed thought it and said, “This is too much. I will read it carefully.”

Peter clicked his tongue, “Well, the minion that I asked to investigate the Hendersons reported every little details about it. It’s really nerve-wrecking.”

Marshall nodded, “Thanks for your hard work.”

Peter was clearly tired, “Well, then, I will get back to my work. I got a lot of things to deal with.”

Marshall sat on the chair for a while and then called Katherine.

It took Katherine a long time to answer the call.

After picking up the phone, Katherine asked Marshall if he was still busying about the Hendersons.

Marshall responded, “Nah, it’s over now. I’m just wondering what are you doing now.”

Katherine said that she was going to Frances’ place and was dying to know what happened between Khalid and Frances yesterday,

Marshall told her to be careful and liked the idea that she wanted to talk with Frances, otherwise, she would be too bored alone at home.

She can kill some time chatting with Frances.

Katherine then hung up the phone after talking with Marshall for a while.

Katherine went downstairs and asked the bodyguards to drive her to Frances’ place.

The car drove onto the state highway after exiting the hill.

The driver suddenly said, “Mrs. Grant, be careful. I got to speed up.”

Katherine immediately knew that something was wrong and looked back, “What happened?”

The driver replied, “There are two cars flanking us. Hold on.”

He then stepped on the gas pedal and the car started racing.

Katherine leaned against the car seat tightly out of inertia.
