Kyle didn’t know their intrigues against each other and just said to Marshall, “Right, have some of
these. It’s good for your body. You stomach definitely would upset after all those drinks.”
Marshall then slowly took Katherine’s chopsticks and bowl, “Thank you so much.”
Katherine’s chuckled, “There is no need to say thanks. We’re a family. I ought to do this for you.”
She just had to gross this neat freak out.
Marshall had some symbolically and put down the chopsticks.
The room definitely wouldn’t get silent with Kyle here.
He then asked Marshall what was going on in his room.
Leaning against the chair, Marshall said, “We just talked about our cooperation and discussed the
supply modes later.”
Kyle nodded, “Which Hendersons showed up? That old dude Mr. Henderson?”
Marshall didn’t know which Mr. Henderson Kyle was referring to and just answered, “Mr. Henderson
and Mrs. Henderson came over today.”
Katherine then giggled lowly.
She remembered that she stalked Clara and her mother today and knew that Clara was up to
something else tonight.
They were both immoral to some extent.
Kyle glanced at Katherine and continued, “Clara should be working in the company now, right? I
remembered that she never showed up in the Henderson’s social engagements before. Now that she is
out, she must be working.”
Marshall nodded, “Yes, she is responsible for bridging some tasks between our two companies.”
Kyle immediately got what was going on.
He then sneered, “Well, didn’t she have a socialite persona before? What is she doing now? Can’t she
pretend anymore?”
Nobody can answer his question.
But Hector who was silent all the way suddenly asked, “Apart from Clara, did Mr. Henderson have other
children?”
“Yes.” Kyle replied, “But his little boy is still in high school and can’t manage a company.”
Hector nodded and seemed to have figured out something.
Katherine then picked out some sea food from the tray and put it into Marshall’s plate, “Have some
more. Somebody might call you back later and you would have to continue drinking.”
Marshall looked down and didn’t pick up his chopsticks, “I know how to deal with them.”
But Katherine’s words were definitely right.
The room door was knocked in a while.
Kyle thought it was the waiter and just said that she can come in.
But Clara turned out to be the one standing by the door.
She seemed calm as if those unpleasant episodes hadn’t happened at all.
Kyle frowned, “What are you doing here?”
His tone plus his question definitely sounded unfriendly.
Clara just turned to Marshall, “They are all waiting for you. I guessed that you are here and wanted to
call you over. Our dinner should be done in a minute.”
Kyle sneered and muttered audibly, “You acted like you are the legit wife here.”
All the people present heard his words.
Hector then turned to Katherine, “Katherine, do you have anywhere that you want to go later. We
should also be done in a while.”
Katherine replied, “Do you have arrangements later? I thought that we would all go home after this
meal.”
“Of course we have.” Kyle lengthened his words deliberately, “I will show you my club later. We have a
ton of great things there. I would present to you all kinds of fun stuff today.”
Hearing Kyle’s words, Marshall slightly frowned and stood up, but he also held Katherine up, “Let’s go
to that room together. Mom and dad are also there. You got to say hi.”
Katherine was surprised.
She hesitated and didn’t actually want to meet the Hendersons since she absolutely found them
annoying.
But when she heard that Khalid and Mr. Grant were also there, she really wanted to meet them since
she just wanted to piss her and Clara off.
Kyle stared at Katherine for a while and suddenly waved his hand, “Well, you ought to go there and
greet them. I mean, as a daughter-in-law, you ought to meet your husband’s parents.”
Marshall then held Katherine’s hand into his palm, “Let’s go.”
But Clara’s face had changed completely.
She can normally control her emotions well, but this time, her face even turned to pale.
Marshall and Katherine can be all lovey-dovey all they wanted in front of her, but not in front of her
family...
Was Marshall doing this on purpose? Didn’t he know her feelings for him? What did this leave her?
Seeing Clara’s darkened face, Katherine instantly got pleased and followed Kyle’s words, “Right, Kyle
is right. I really should go over and say hi.”
Then she hugged Marshall’s arm and left with him.
Standing by the door, Clara was gazing at them silently.
Katherine quirked up the corner of her mouth and looked cocky.
She really enjoyed this villain character and this feeling.
She could make that bitch cry anytime she wanted. What a great feeling!
Marshall brought Katherine to a nearby room which was half open.
Marshall directly pushed the door open.
The atmosphere in the room was actually pretty lively.
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Henderson were chatting merrily and were like sisters.
Khalid and Mr. Henderson were drinking with each other and acted like buddies.
Marshall went inside and said that he bumped into Katherine before and figured that he would bring her
over to say hi.
The room instantly got quiet.
But Khalid’s reaction was pretty quick. He immediately stood up, “Katherine, I asked Marshall earlier if
you are available today and wanted him to bring you over, but he said that you are pretty busy at the
sweet shop. But it sure looks like we are a real family since we can meet each other at this place no
matter what.”
Khalid was really good at sugarcoating, so Katherine called him dad sweetly.
Then she spoke, “I’m indeed busy today. I went over to the shop to sign the contract today. Marshall
told me to return to the mansion with him this morning, but I was really swamped.”
While saying this, Katherine examined each one of the people’s face.
Mrs. Grant was definitely not a good actor since her face just darkened right away.
Mrs. Henderson’s face was even better than hers.
Mr. Henderson wasn’t looking at her but stared at Clara by the door whose face she can’t see since
she was standing behind her.
But she can well guess how depressed she must be.
Sadly, she was enjoying every bit of this.
She was really on cloud nine at this point.
Khalid must have sensed the weird atmosphere in the room and tried to soften it with laughter, “Here,
some and join us. You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? There are no strangers here. The
Hendersons would soon be cooperating with us and would become our business partners. They
wouldn’t mind this.”
They didn’t mind it, but Katherine definitely didn’t want to dine with them.
She then smiled, “It’s okay, dad. I’m actually having dinner with my friends. I just meant to some over
and say hi. They are still waiting for me.”
Mrs. Grant finally spoke, “You got friends? What kind of friends?”
She sounded mean and sarcastic.
Katherine got an inferior background, so she can only be friends with some shitty people.
Mrs. Grant didn’t like her and naturally loathed her so-called friends.
She then sneered, “How about you call your friends over and let we meet with each other?”
