CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 157 I’m Marshall

But Katherine didn’t notice Marshall’s strange movements.

She just looked at Marshall solemnly, “I really wondered how on earth could his father know me. I really didn’t go out that much normally.”

Marshall regained his cool and managed to calm down his voice, “You went to his house?”

Katherine nodded and directly said Hector’s house address, “His house is really large and located in the city center. His family must be affluent.”

Marshall heard the location and instantly knew which family Katherine was talking about.

He lowered his head and put away all the files on the desk, “It must be the Bennetts.”

Katherine blinked her eyes, “Right, his last name is indeed Bennett. Do you know him?”

Marshall replied nonchalantly, “I have come across Old Mr. Bennett before in some social engagements, but I don’t exactly know him. We didn’t have any business relations.”

The Bennetts mainly specialized in investments and was reported to have a big presence in the domestic market.

But...

Marshall examined Katherine, “As your friend, I advise you to stay away from that family.”

Katherine curled her lips, “Why?”

Marshall didn’t answer.

Katherine got annoyed and muttered, “First is Lucas, then is Hector. You told me to avoid them, but you never give me a reason. What the hell, Marshall?”

Peter first spoke before Marshall, “Can’t you see? Boss is jealous.”

Marshall and Katherine both turned to Peter.

The smile on Peter’s face just slowly faded away. He then lowered his voice, “I’m just kidding. What are you guys doing? Can’t one throw a joke?”

Then nobody said a word for a while.

Katherine started reading the news from the Internet.

She wondered when can those reporters make an article out of their interviews. She genuinely thought that she had covered everything and given a comprehensive view.

Leaning against the chair, Marshall found that Clara texted him.

She was checking on him about what was going on up on the Internet and wanted to know if it had any impacts on him. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Judging from the text, Clara believed that he didn’t do anything.

Marshall mulled for a while and texted back that he was okay.

Clara instantly replied that she knew some media guy and could help him to post an announcement to clear everything.

Marshall waited for a while and said that he was good and added thanks.

He actually knew some press friends himself.

But he really didn’t fancy the idea of explaining everything from the early on himself.

He preferred to just present all the evidences while the whole drama was done boiling up.

Clara then said that she just didn’t want to see him being slandered.

Marshall then just stopped texting back.

He then put down the phone, grabbed a cigarette from his pocket and lighted it.

Peter’s orders were delivered before Katherine could scoop some news about her from the Internet.

She was way more excited than Peter. She just hopped down the sofa hurriedly and slipped on her shoes.

She also left her phone on the sofa.

Peter had ordered way too much and had to grab it from the reception desk.

But because it was off work now, the receptionist couldn’t be able to bring them up alone.

Katherine and Peter had to fetch them together.

Katherine’s phone went off just after they left.

Marshall at first just ignored it.

But then it rang again.

Marshall then stood up slowly and took the phone.

The caller ID was Hector.

Then Marshall remembered that Katherine had just mentioned the Bennetts and connected the dots.

He thought for a while and answered the call.

Hector first spoke, “Katherine?”

Hand in the pocket, Marshall landed his sight on the window side, “It’s me.”

Hector paused and said after in a few seconds, “Marshall?”

Marshall sneered, “Yeah, this is he.”
