CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 570 Panic

Katherine didn’t care if Reuben’s sale of the house falls through.

She has come to an acceptance. If Reuben really wanted that house, she could give it to him.

She doesn’t plan to go back and live in the future anyway. The house would also be empty. If Reuben needed to sell the house to improve his living conditions, he can do whatever he wants with it.

The main reason is that she wants to have a clean cut with Reuben moving forward.

Marshall took Katherine’s hand and placed it in his palm, “Let these things go with the flow. If he was really poor enough and needed to sell that old house to get by, it’s not impossible to give it to him.”

Jack sighed, “I heard that he is not doing well. Someone from the village said that he had seen him, and he seemed to be working as a temporary worker on a construction site.”

Reuben’s life had indeed not been very good. Marshall had investigated it before.

Katherine smirked, “I don't care if he is doing well or not. As long as you all are living a good life, that matters more than anything else.”

Her statement brought this topic to an end.

These folks began to imagine their future lives, thought about earning more money and changing the fate of their children.

Katherine and Marshall sat around for more than an hour. After all, they still needed to work. They have shown an appropriate amount of concern for them, and their conversation gradually came to a standstill. Marshall then left with Katherine.

They sat in the car and before the car even drove off, Katherine started to feel emotional, “I have never seen them so happy. You may not know, but they have been really dependent on the weather for their livelihood. Every household would have a hard time when the harvest was bad. They would all just sat by their door and sighed in unison. Having everyone gather around, sitting together and laugh about like today a scene that has never been seen before.”

Marshall fastened his seat belt and smiled, “Now, you can rest assured.”

Katherine nodded, “I am. Thank you.”

Marshall laughed, “See, you are always so courteous with me.”

Katherine kept quiet and drove towards the Grant residence. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The location of this warehouse was a bit out of the way. They headed towards the city center and passed by the suburbs.

Marshall also took a detour and went to take a look at the banking house of the Henderson family.

Before their car even arrived, Marshall saw the Henderson family’s car parked at the entrance of the banking house.

That car was not often driven by the family members of the Henderson family. Marshall could recall this car as he saw it when he previously went to withdraw his engagement at the Henderson’s.

Therefore, they must have thought that no one knew it hence they just openly swaggered it out.

The style of this car had the appearance of a vintage car, hence Marshall remembered it vividly.

Marshall slowly parked the car on the side of the road not far off, then he turned to Katherine and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll be back.”

Katherine felt a little strange, but she didn’t say anything about it and just nodded in acknowledgment.

Marshall got hold of a hat from the back seat, changed his coat before he got out of the car, and walked towards the entrance of the banking house.

He didn’t walk straight to their car either, he just glanced at the license plate from a distance, before he turned around and left.

It was indeed the one from the Henderson family, he did not remember wrongly.

Therefore, someone from the Henderson family had come to the banking house today.

Marshall thought for a long time, and he could only think of Clara or Charlie.

With Jakub gone, Old Mr. Henderson could only choose from these two people if he wanted to find someone to take over the business.

Clara didn’t message him so it shouldn’t be her.

Therefore, it can only be narrowed down to Charlie.

Marshall sneered. Old Mr. Henderson seemed to be really out of candidates. He might have felt that he was old, but Charlie wasn’t young as well.

As soon as Jakub’s issue surfaced, Charlie was hit hard by it that he seems to be comparable to Old Mr. Henderson in terms of his appearance.

Looking at matters, the Henderson family has really seemed to come to a dead end.

Marshall thought of Jakub again. Even if he could live, his future might not be great.

Marshall got back into his car, changed his coat, took off his hat, fastened his seat belt again, started the car, and drove off.

After the car drove off for some time, Katherine asked, “What happened? Is there a problem with the car you went to see?”

Marshall nodded, “It seems to be the car from the Henderson family.”

Katherine had to pay attention to it when it involves the Henderson family. She asked, “How could the Henderson family appear here?”

Marshall didn’t know how to answer Katherine’s question, so he vaguely nodded, “They have must have something going on.”

Katherine saw Marshall’s attitude and knew that it wasn’t the same as before, some matters were not easy to share.

So, she asked, “Does it affect us a lot?”

Marshall felt that this topic was a slip-up, “There will be a little impact, but it’s not great. Don’t worry.”

This topic ended here.

Marshall drove Katherine back to the old Grant residence. He didn’t even stop by the main area as he immediately left the parking. He seemed a little anxious.

Katherine sighed as she watched Marshall’s car leave. This man is really unable to stay idle for a moment.

She was a little tired after going out, so she went back to the room and napped for a while.

In fact, she didn’t sleep for a long time. When she woke up, she found that there were missed calls on her phone.

Clara had actually called again.

Katherine was still surprised. Clara slapped herself the last time she called, and she was obviously dumbfounded.

How did she forget about that so quickly?

Katherine held the phone and thought about it but in the end, she did not call Clara back.

She didn’t really want to have too much contact with Clara and judging from what she said on the phone the previous time, the conversation was of nothing of value to her.

Katherine didn’t want to waste her time with her.

Hence, she just ignored it and deleted her call history.

Katherine went downstairs but Old Mrs. Grant was not there. She took a turn and sat down to watch TV.

After a while, the phone rang.

Katherine originally thought it was Clara since Clara was a bit shameless. If she didn’t answer her phone the first time, she would often call again.

However, when Katherine took a look, she was a little surprised, it was really not her.

This time was Kyle.

Katherine picked up the phone, with a smile in her voice, “Kyle, what’s up?”

Kyle paused and said, “Is Marshall at home? I can’t contact him, is he busy?”

Katherine was a little surprised, “I’m not at home now. At this time, shouldn’t Marshall be at the company Is he not answering his phone since you can’t reach him?”

Kyle nodded, “I called a few times, no one answered.”

Katherine thought for a while, “Maybe he’s in a meeting.”

There was some hesitation in Kyle’s voice. He paused before hanging up the phone.

Katherine had an ominous feeling that something was wrong. It was a faint hunch, but it was not particularly obvious.

She watched TV for a while before deciding to call Marshall.

The phone rang, but no one answered it.

Katherine called twice but there was no answer.

She’d panicked all of a sudden for no rhyme or reason.
