But Marshall wasn’t offended by Katherine’s answer because she was merely saying the truth.
He brought her over to the company today hoping that it could douse some people’s gossip.
Mrs. Grant panted a bit, but instead of yelling this time, she turned to Old Mrs. Grant, “Mom, would you
look at her? Did you see how was she talking to her senior? Who would anyone be foolish enough to
take her as a daughter-in-law?”
Katherine glared at her, “I’m not your daughter-in-law anymore! I’ve long divorced with Marshall. Let me
make myself clear. I’m only pretending to be married for Marshall’s sake! If this is not okay with you, I
can just go ahead and tell everybody else that I have absolutely nothing to do with Marshall now. How
would you like that?”
Mrs. Grant suddenly got words stuck at her throat.
Old Mrs. Grant only glanced at Katherine and said undisturbedly, “Don’t say those words easily later.
Other people might use that against us.”
Face darkened, Katherine didn’t say anything.
Marshall who was silent all this time put some food into Katherine’s plate and said, “That’s enough.
Let’s started having dinner. We’ve been busy all day.”
Why couldn’t we have a quiet and nice dinner together?
Mrs. Grant muttered, “I didn’t say anything.”
Katherine curled her mouth and fixated her sight on Mrs. Grant, “The reason that Mr. Henderson went
to the company today was probably to poke around and find out what is going on between me and
Marshall. Well, I assume that could it be that Miss. Henderson said something to him which led to his
suspicion.”
Mrs. Grant just suddenly paused.
Old Mrs. Grant was taken aback.
She then asked Marshall, “Mr. Henderson went to the company today?”
“Yeah. He said that he was just passing by and wanted to check him out.”
But he never even mentioned going to the Grants company before.
The Grants and the Hendersons didn’t have any business relations, so it didn’t make any sense that
Mr. Henderson wanted to stop by at the company.
Old Mrs. Grant glanced at Mrs. Grant, “Frances, I haven’t got the chance to ask you that what did you
say to Clara before?”
Mrs. Grant stammered. She practically said everything to Clara before.
Marshall took a sigh and asked, “Did you tell her that I got divorced with Katherine?”
Mrs. Grant looked embarrassed, “I did tell her that.”
Then she lowered her voice, “I told Clara that you two were going through the divorce procedure on the
day you got divorced.”
After thinking for a while, Marshall added, “What else did you say? I want to know all of them.”
Mrs. Grant didn’t even dare to look at Old Mrs. Grant, “After you said that your divorce with Katherine
should remain as a secret, I told Clara that something happened between you, so Katherine followed
you over on that business trip. Something like that.”
Kathrine sneered and was for sure that she must have said more.
She must have also said how she pestered at Marshall shamelessly.
Marshall pondered for a while and said, “Find a time and tell her that we didn’t really get the divorce
paper. Katherine and me both regretted at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Also, I took Kathrine on that
business trip myself and wanted to use that time to talk about us. Last but not the least, tell her
specifically that we didn’t get divorced and wanted to give each other a chance to work things out.”
This was also how Kathrine explained to Lucas.
So everything can be added up.
Mrs. Grant nodded hurriedly, “Sure, sure. I’ll definitely tell Clara that. She is a good girl and wouldn’t go
around telling other people. Believe me.”
Kathrine rolled her eyes and went on eating.
Mrs. Grant then remained silent after this whole drama and didn’t dare to stir things up.
After Kathrine was done with the dinner, she put down the chopsticks and took the napkin to wipe her
mouth. Just then, Old Mrs. Grant spoke, “Stay for a while and talk with me.”
All Katherine, Mrs. Grant and Marshall were in shock for Old Mrs. Grant was a conservative woman
and didn’t like talking while eating.
