CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 455 Smart People

Marshall saw Clara again when he was about to be off duty.

However, this time, Clara wasn’t coming for him, but accompanying her father to visit the Grant Group.

Marshall was startled when he came out of the office. Clara gave him a glimpse and didn’t say anything.

Hence, Marshall didn’t greet her neither.

Actually, he was averse to meet her frequently. He found it was uncomfortable to see her after what happened this morning.

He took the document to Peter’s office. A few minutes later, old Mr. Henderson already brought Clara to elder Mr. Grant’s office.

After returning to his own office, Marshall checked the time and found it was almost time to get off.

He had finished all of his work. Therefore, he roughly tided his room and waited to get off.

As soon as he left the office, old Mr. Grant and Clara came.

Marshall didn’t even give them a glimpse and went towards the elevator.

It was the special life. Without waiting for anyone, he pressed the button to go down.

Elder Mr. Grant also pretended he hadn’t seen Marshall and led old Mr. Henderson and Clara to the elevator.

When they were waiting, Clara glanced at the number shown on the screen and showed a complex word.

After the elevator arrived, they went to the ground floor and found Marshall already left.

Old Mr. Henderson farewelled with elder Mr. Grant and took Clara to get on the car.

Waiting for the door to close up, old Mr. Henderson sighed, “Well, Marshall is really an indifferent man.”

Clara didn’t respond him. Two seconds later, old Mr. Henderson turned around to look at her and remarked, “I don’t understand why you like him.”

Clara turned to look at the front door of the Grant Group and replied stubbornly, “I just like him. If he didn’t marry Katherine because of his grandfather, we will have a good life now and he won’t be so indifferent to me.”

Old Mr. Henderson stared at her and changed another topic, saying, “You should go to your brother’s parents’ meeting. The teacher just called and told me he behaved well in the school. He was hardworking and had made a progress. Well, I am glad to hear that.”

The car drove away and none of them talked in the half way.

Until they stopped in the traffic light, suddenly reminding of something, old Mr. Henderson remarked, “Your brother is much younger than you. When he gets to the company in the future, you should help him in terms of working. You are his sister and needs to give him extra care.”

Clara nodded and replied, “I know it.”

Old Mr. Henderson then stopped talking.

Slowly, the drove back home.

After the car stopped in the Henderson family’s yard, Clara didn’t get off immediately.

Her voice seemed to be exhausted, saying, “You can get in first. I have to sit a while here.”

Old Mr. Henderson’s motion when opening the door suddenly stopped for a second. He turned around to look at Clara and felt helpless.

He didn’t say a word but left together with the driver.

Clara remained sitting in the car and gradually frowned tightly.

She knew she was too anxious by going to the Grant Group with her father. She should leave alone this thing for a while.

However, Marshall really showed her a terrible attitude when they were in the hospital.

She was afraid that Marshall would doubt her if she didn’t show up.

However, thing didn’t seem to get well even if she had called and went to the company.

Clara got anxious and knocked at the seat beside her angrily. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Marshall, on the other side, drove back home.

Katherine just woke up and was in a daze when sitting downstairs.

Marshall rubbed her head and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you still tired?”

Katherine looked up at him and didn’t say anything.

Frances was in the kitchen. She turned around to look at them and showed a smile.

Darcie noted, “Well, this young couple is really in a good relationship.”

Frances looked somewhere else and replied, “Yes, they are always in a good relationship. It was me who interrupted and resulted for today’s situation.”

Darcie looked at Frances and remarked, “It’s not all your fault.”

Frances smiled in a low voice and didn’t respond.

She helped Darcie to prepare for dinner. Before dinner was ready, someone came.

Frances noticed a car stopped at the door of the yard. She thought it might be Kyle and Peter and didn’t take it seriously.

However, after busy cooking, she looked up and found Khalid was in the living room.

She frowned subconsciously and whispered, “Why he is here?”

Darcie checked by the door and asked with a smile, “Are you unwilling to meet him?”

Frances sighed, “I can’t tell. I am just surprised he would come.”

She then helped Darcie to prepare for the materials. However, she found she was attracted by Khalid’s arrival and couldn’t help looking at the direction of the living room.

Khalid was sitting on the couch with Marshall and Katherine. Frances couldn’t hear what they were talking about but could sense they were having a good time.

Frances was in a trance. Actually, back in the time when they were living in the old house, as long as she didn’t show up, they would have a good time.

It was her who always spoiled the fun.

After preparing for the dinner, Frances went out and remarked, “Dinner will be ready soon. You can have a chat in the kitchen.”

It was obvious Khalid would remain for dinner. They directly went to the kitchen then.

However, Frances didn’t go together with them and went to the yard by herself.

A few moments later, Katherine came out and stood by her side, asking, “What’s wrong? Why are you hiding?”

Frances smiled and responded, “I am not hiding. I just want to breath some fresh air.”

Curling up her lips, Katherine didn’t say anything.

They stood for a while and found another car driving in.

Both Frances and Katherine were startled.

They found a woman get off when the door open. The woman waved towards the driver and the car drove away.

Frances let off a sarcastic smile.

Katherine didn’t know who the woman was. She was startled when seeing the woman walk towards her.

The woman arrived at the front door and showed a smiled when seeing Frances, greeting, “Frances.”

Frances took a deep breath and replied, “You’re here. Come on in.”

Katherine blinked her eyes and didn’t say anything. She noticed the woman pushed the door open to come in and went towards the living room.

The woman talked when walking, “At first, I wanted to visit you in the Mason family, but I heard that you didn’t live there.”

Katherine glanced at Frances and asked in a mouth shape: Who is she?

Frances also looked at her. Almost two seconds later, she replied in a mouth shape: Cora.

Katherine’s eyes opened widely. Cora?

Why would this woman show up?

However, she soon chuckled. Cora really had a good temperament. She seemed to be a gentle and elegant woman.

Not to mention Frances in the old days. Frances couldn’t compete with her in terms of appearance.

Both Katherine and Frances followed Cora to the living room.

Darcie was surprised to see Cora and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Khalid and Marshall came out from the kitchen when hearing their noise.

It was obvious that Khalid seemed to be surprised to find Cora. He asked, “What are you doing here?”

Cora also showed a surprised look and replied, “Well, I never expect you’re also here. I just want to visit Frances.”

Marshall looked at Cora and greeted her, then he asked casually, “Have you had dinner yet? We’re about to eat. How about having dinner with us?”

Cora shook her hands and replied, “There is no need. You can start eating.”

Marshall called his mother and noted, “Mom, aunt Cora is here to visit you. You can sit down to have a chat with her.”

Frances went forward and said, “Sit down. To be honest, I am really surprised that you will come.”

Marshall grabbed Khalid’s arm and suggested, “Let’s go to have dinner first. I want to discuss business with you.”

Khalid thought for a while and followed him back to the kitchen.

Katherine chuckled. They were all smart people.

She smiled and found there was no need for her to interrupt the business between Cora and Frances. Hence, she also followed them back to the kitchen.

She and Marshall looked at each other in the eye and had a tacit understanding.
