CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 547

Katherine drawled lazily, "So, I was the Henderson family’s target, not Clara’s, right?"

Marshall nodded. "It should be like this."

Katherine heaved a sigh. "It’s all your fault."

In fact, Marshall believed he was innocent. He never knew that he would get into such a big trouble back when he agreed to marry Clara.

During the year he had been married, Marshall had cut all ties with the Henderson family, and seemingly, their past had been wiped out. After his divorce, he hadn’t had any romantic involvement with Clara. But why did the Henderson family suddenly rake up the past and stir up trouble at this time?

Blinking, Katherine pondered for a while before her mind ended up being in a turmoil. She said with a wave of her hand, "I’m done with it. I don’t want to get involved. I’ll leave it to you." She continued as she stroked her underbelly, "I don’t have time to think about anything else but the guy in my womb."

Marshall nodded and stroked her underbelly. "You relax and take care of yourself. Just leave everything to me."

This topic thus concluded.

Marshall went to have dinner, while Katherine sat beside him because she had nothing else to do. During the meal, Marshall called someone, asking him to investigate whether the private bank was running some other secret business.

Meanwhile, Katherine was fiddling with her phone. When Marshall finished his call, she chimed in, "I’m surprised that Clara actually asked you to look into something like that."

Clara must have so much confidence in him. The Henderson family was going after Katherine, which meant they were standing on the opposite side of Marshall, but Clara actually asked him to look into the illegal business her family was running. Clara sure had good reasons to do so, but Katherine still wondered what the hell that woman was thinking.

Marshall got amused watching Katherine, unsure whether she was jealous or not. Why would she suddenly say something like that? He said after some consideration, "She can’t do it herself, and she has no reliable friends, so she comes to me. Besides, I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s doing me a special favor by asking me to do it. She might have some other plan."

After all, Marshall had already known about the private bank and investigated it. It was just a matter of time before their illegal business was made public. Now Clara was leaving herself a way out by showing all her cards to Marshall in advance. Marshall wasn’t a ruthless person, and there was a strong possibility that he would let the Henderson family off.

Katherine nodded. "I thought Clara was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that she’s quite smart."

Marshall smiled, saying nothing.

When Marshall finished his dinner, the two of them went upstairs. At this moment, one of his staff called him while he was putting on his pajamas, so he answered the call in the bedroom. Katherine, however, had no interest in listening to him talking on the phone. She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. When she came out of it, Marshall was actually still talking on the phone. They must be talking over something serious, or the call wouldn’t have lasted that long.

Katherine went to bed, but now she was forced to listen to the conversation.

Standing by the window and holding the phone with one hand, Marshall was tapping the sill randomly with his fingers. It seemed that his men had found out the hideout of one of the drivers that had tailed him. Then she overheard the name "Husky" and sat up straight slowly.

Those bits and pieces Marshall spoke were quite informative, but since Katherine didn’t know much about it, she found it hard to piece together what they were exactly talking about. Then she began to wait patiently.

Katherine didn’t ask until Marshall hung up, "What have you done with Husky? Isn’t he at Kyle’s club?"

Marshall thought for a moment before replying, "A lot has happened after that. I’ll tell you everything when it’s all over."

It was a little difficult for Marshall to explain everything because the situation was too complicated.

Katherine waved her hand as she heard that. "Well, then don’t. I’m not interested in anything complicated now." All she wanted was to live a simple life now. She was too impatient to deal with any complex situation.

Marshall smiled, rubbed her head and went to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he came out and took Katherine in his arms in bed.
