CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 45 The Woman on the Beach (I)

In fact, It was not that difficult to understand the situation at hand.

She wasn't much of a businesswoman, but she had seen and learned it from other people.

When she lived with the Grant family, Mrs. Grant always talked about business stuff at dinner.

It was all about conspiracies and schemes.

She had heard plenty enough, and naturally she understood what Marshall was talking about.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and asked, "They were blackmailing you about what happened last night? You told them what happened last night was reasonable and legal because they didn't know we're divorced?”

Marshall nodded. “Seems like it, they had checked the surveillance..."

Marshal was the main character of the whole dinner party.

Half way through, they couldn't find him, so they went to check the surveillance.

They could see Katherine in the surveillance.

So there was no loophole in Marshall statement.

Those people didn't know about the truth that they were actually divorced.

Katherine thought for while and said, "So what you meant was…" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Peter walked over and stood by the door. He had been eavesdropping.

Since he had overheard it, he answered it for Marshall, "We can't let your divorce go public, because whatever reason you have, it will be used against you. You guys still have to act like a loving couple, at

least for a few more months.”

Moreover, it would be just as unethical to have sex after divorce.

Katherine kept her eyes on Marshall.

Marshall paused for few seconds and nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant.”

Before Katherine could say anything, Marshall added, "But don't worry, we'll announce it to the public at the right time. You can tell them whatever reason you wanted, and I'll try my best to satisfy you unconditionally.”

Katherine heard this and her lips curled up. "So I'll be living with you during this period of time, right?”

Marshall frowned out of habit and said, “I’m afraid so.”

He wasn't that sure about what Katherine should do next, either.

He had no idea what kinds of trick Sam has on his sleeves.

If Sam didn’t make any moves, he wouldn't need any help from Katherine, nor would he need her to be with him at all time.

Everything would be fine as long as other people didn't notice the changes in their relationship.

Katherine thought about it and laughed. She looked so coquettish, "What can I get from this? You said you'll try your best to satisfy me, but I need to know your boundaries.”

Marshall's facial expression remained unchanged. He said, "As long as it's not that absurd."

Katherine didn't know what he meant by "absurd".

But she let out a sigh of relief and narrowed her eyes. "Can I think it through...?"

Peter leaned against the door frame. He stared at her and said, “Think it through? What’s there to think about…"

"Okay, I’ll give you some time, but you have to reply me tomorrow. Is that okay?" Marshall interrupted Peter and asked Katherine with his eyes fixed on her.

Katherine liked Marshall sometimes for his straightforwardness. But sometimes, she really hated him for that too.

He could kill the hope of his rival with just one word.

Katherine licked her lips and said, "Fine, I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning."

Marshall nodded without saying anything extra. He turned around and left with Peter.

Peter felt a bit reluctant and said, "Why don't you go back first, I need to have a small talk with Kathy.”

Marshall frowned, and Peter explained hastily, "She had a stomach illness, so I think I should stay to observe, I’ll catch up with you later.”

Marshall left without saying anything.

After Marshall was gone, Peter darted into the room and said, "A moment? Why would you need a moment? You…"

He looked into her eyes. Then he thought for a while and fell into silence.

He walked over and sat on her bed. Then he said, "To be honest, your ex-husband is quite a catch... we've been out for just a morning and the woman was already throwing herself at him. She almost

climbed on his bed. You should be alerted!"
