CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 544 Are You Suspecting Me

The minion whispered something to Marshall.

Marshall’s remained undisturbed and even chortled.

He said, “Okay, got it.”

He then went out of the warehouse and called Clara who was in her room.

Though Jakub’s had been cremated, the atmosphere in the room was still down.

Elder Mrs. Henderson cried all night and the shrieking circled around the mansion.

Elder Mr. Henderson didn’t cry, but he won’t eat anything and was downcast all day.

Clara thought that at this rate, her parents might follow her brother’s footstep.

She was also in a bad shape and was spacing out.

She was surprised to get Marshall’s call.

After picking up the phone, Marshall first asked before Clara can say anything, “Clara, Katherine almost got into an accident today. She was chased by two cars.”

Clara paused, “What are you talking about? Why would you say this to me all of a sudden? Are you suspecting me?”

Marshall wasn’t doubting Clara, “Didn’t you have a butler who was fired for no reason?”

Clara frowned and can’t recall for now, “I’m not really sure.”

Marshall smiled, “He was driving one of the cars that followed Katherine today.”

Moreover, that butler showed up in the casino before.

Clara paused and suddenly had a weird feeling.

The maid took the breakfast to the rooms of elder Mr. and Mrs. Henderson today.

After having breakfast downstairs, she saw old Mr. Henderson entering elder Mr. Henderson’s room.

She was suspicious of old Mr. Henderson for a long time and eavesdropped their conversation when she saw him. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He was first persuading elder Mr. Henderson to toughen up and he got to manage the company.

Elder Mr. Henderson sighed constantly.

Actually, it was perfectly normal that he couldn’t come to himself after what he had gone through.

Old Mr. Henderson then suddenly said, “Just wait and see. Our company would be stronger and stronger.”

Elder Mr. Henderson was still wallowing in his sorrow and said lightly, “No, it won’t happen. My Jakub is gone and all my hope just left with him.”

After pausing for a while, old Mr. Henderson said, “We still got Clara. We can count on her.”

Leaning against the door, Clara heard her name clearly.

Old Mr. Henderson then added, “Well, we are not completely hopeless regarding Marshall. Just be patient.”

Clara didn’t know what her grandpa meant back then, but after what Marshall told her, she immediately figured out the whole thing.

Clara opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say.

Marshall asked, “Did you know where did that butler go after he was fired?”

Clara compressed her lips, “I don’t know.”

Clara suddenly recalled that elder Mr. Henderson had asked someone to wait by the restaurant when she had dinner with Marshall and Katherine.

She wondered back then why would he do that.

He was clearly targeting someone.

Now she knew clearly who they were aiming at.

Her father and grandfather both valued Marshall dearly and definitely wouldn’t do something to him.

So they can only hurt Katherine.

Well, from the bottom of her heart, she heated Katherine and even loathed her, but she can never bring herself to hurt her.

She wasn’t that bloodless to do such a thing.

Though she pushed Katherine a bit in the hospital, she was agitated by her words.

Marshall sounded cold, “That butler also appeared in that underground casino.”

Clara took a deep breath, “I really don’t know anything about this.”

But now she can piece everything together.

Clara felt muddle-headed and didn’t even know how she hung up the phone.

Clara waited for a while and then got out.

Old Mr. Henderson was standing with a cane downstairs alone.

Clara stepped towards him, “Grandpa, what are you doing here alone?”

Old Mr. Henderson replied, “Well, it felt stuffy inside and I want to have some fresh air. I’m wondering how is the company now.”

Clara deliberated and soothed him, “Well, I really don’t know if my uncle can manage the company well. Now that we are all at home, he must be swamped.”

Old Mr. Henderson chuckled, “It’s going to be all right. your uncle would count on everyone around him for your father was shielding the company before, but now, he got no one to turn to, he can actually have this opportunity to prove himself. He was actually strong enough to protect this family.”

Clara thought for a while and changed the subject, “My mom said that she wanted me to go on a blind date and I rejected this idea back then because I still had feelings for Marshall. But now, I’ve realized that I got no chance since he and Katherine are together happily. Moreover, considering what happened in our family, I think it would be good for our family if I try some blind dates.”

Old Mr. Henderson paused and turned to Clara, “Don’t you like Marshall now? You’ve always liked him, haven’t you?”

Clara let out a sigh, “Well, I didn’t face the reality before, but now I’ve come to realize that it is totally meaningless if he doesn’t love me back. What’s more, I’m really tired and want to find someone who would love me dearly.”

Old Mr. Henderson patted Clara on her shoulders, “Don’t worry. You got to take things slow.”

Clara glanced at old Mr. Henderson’s expression and continued, “But I don’t want to wait anymore. I have no idea how long would I have to wait. I’m exhausted. If I can have a blind date successfully, our family would have a new member and the atmosphere might get lively. My parents also can have a breather from what happened to Jakub. I really loved this idea.”

Old Mr. Henderson sighed, “Clara, it’s not easy to have successful blind dates. I actually have investigated some of the sons of our family friends, but they aren’t really competent. You won’t be able to find someone you love.”

Clara smiled, “I only want him be sweet to me and love me wholly. I’m not asking for too much. We can’t be too greedy. I think it’s not a bad thing to be ordinary.”

Old Mr. Henderson shook his head, “You don’t understand it, Clara. Me and your father are both old now and we need someone to protect this family. Now that Jakub is gone, we can only count on you. You can’t find an ordinary guy. Competency is the core here.”
