Hearing Marshall’s words, Katherine nodded, “Remember to tell me once you dig something.”
Marshall grinned, “Rest assured. I’ll let you know first.”
After having the breakfast, Marshall drove Katherine to the store and left.
Katherine looked so much better than before.
Seeing that Marshall dropped Katherine off, Margaret just pursed her lips, “He is sure sweet to you.”
Katherine went to land a hand, “What’s wrong? Aren’t your boyfriend good to you?”
Margaret looked away, “He’s great.”
Then she paused and repeated, “He’s certainly great to me. I should be content.”
Katherine didn’t think too much and started getting busy.
Marshall then drove to a warehouse that was under the Grants’ Company.
Located in the outskirts, the warehouse hadn’t been used for years, so it was all empty.
It was in a big yard and was only guarded by one person all year long, but he had been transferred to
another warehouse last night.
Marshall was stopped by a guy when he just arrived at the storehouse, but once he saw it was
Marshall, he immediately stepped aside.
Marshall drove the car into the yard and was instantly surrounded by a few minions, “Sir.”
Marshall nodded, “Has he told the truth yet?”
One of the minions responded, “Nothing valuable.”
Marshall then walked straight into the warehouse.
The warehouse was flooded with the smell of dust and stew.
A man was lying on a wooden plank on the ground.
The man had been stripped of his clothes and only item left on his body was his shirt. His two tattooed
arms were revealed and his left one was bandaged.
Marshall then approached him.
The man wasn’t really asleep. He was just resting his mind and opened his eyes when he heard
Marshall’s footsteps.
He seemed a bit distressed when he saw Marshall.
The man looked ghastly pale and suppressed his voice, “I’ve really told you everything and didn’t hide
anything.”
Marshall squatted down and stared at that man, “Weren’t you quite tight-lipped yesterday?”
As they were pretty close to each other, Marshall could clearly see the emotions in his eyes. He didn’t
seem to be lying.
The man then continued, “I really didn’t know much anyway and wanted to tough it out. After all, I’m
gangster and has to keep my integrity. I thought that you wouldn’t torture me so much. I’ve literally told
you everything I know. Please set me free. I’m badly injured in my left arm. I have to go to the hospital.”
The man had been a thug for years and was held in custody many times before for causing
disturbances.
He really had no use to the society.
Marshall was still smiling, “Set you free? Do you have any idea what you could have done if I weren’t
there yesterday? Do you really think that I will just let you walk if you don’t tell me something useful?”
Marshall then pressed the spot that the man had been bandaged up.
The man grunted suddenly and looked he was in real pain.
Marshall said lightly, “Did the person behind you tell you why did he/she want you to knock that girl
down? What kind of result dose he/she want?”
Then man was rapidly panting, but he grinded his teeth and didn’t say anything.
Hands in the pocket, Marshall stood up in a minute and drooped his eyes, “Well, you must have
enjoyed this. Proceed.”
Marshall then just turned around and left the warehouse.
Seeing that Marshall was out, one of the minions asked, “Sir, what should we do about this man?”
Marshall answered coolly, “Lock him up here.”
But he also asked what’s wrong with that man’s arm.
The minion answered that his elbow must have hit the ground when he fell down yesterday and was
fractured.
They bound it up yesterday, but the injured area was all swollen this morning.
He ought to be sent to the hospital.
Marshall wasn’t hurried, “Well, it’s okay. He would beg us if he can’t handle the pain in the end.”
Then he walked outside and took out a cigarette box.
That man last night did say that he was paid to trip over Katherine and the person who hired him didn’t
really care the degree of the injury as long as Katherine fell down.
That person was pretty generous as he/she had given him a hefty amount of deposit and promised to
give him more final payment once he got the job done.
Marshall’s face darkened more as he had a gut feeling that the man must haven’t said the whole truth.
He wasn’t a moron and would definitely ask the true motive as it was illogical to be paid that much of
money for such an easy job.
Marshall finished the cigarette and went to the company.
While Katherine was just resting after organizing stuff, Frances came over with a thermos container.
She still looked a bit strange, “Here, my maid made too much this morning. I’m just passing by and
thought you could have a taste at this.”
Then she just put down the thermos.
Margaret was a bit curious and opened it.
It was boiled pork chop soup and looked like it had been stewed for a long time judged from the rich
flavor of it.
Katherine would just throw up if she smelled this kind of meat soup, so she dodged a bit when
Margaret opened it.
But Frances added, “I’ve got rid of all the meat fat. You can have it rest assured. It’s not greasy.”
Margaret looked at Frances and Katherine in surprise/
Katherine was actually also shocked, but she was perfectly aware why would Frances do this.
Lips pursed, Katherine looked serious.
Frances felt uncomfortable and said, “Take your time. I can fetch the container later. I have to be
somewhere.”
Then she just left without looking at Katherine.
Katherine waited for a while and smelled the soup. It was actually pretty good. As the very least,
Katherine didn’t feel vomiting.
She stared at the soup for a while and felt like she could have some as she didn’t eat much this
morning.
Margaret poured one bowl of soup for her hurriedly.
Margaret tasted it and found it quite appetizing.
She then turned to Margaret, “You can also have this. It’s too much for me.”
Margaret shook her head, “Well, it’s still early. I’m still full from breakfast.”
Then she lowered her voice, “Well, Kathy, Marshall’s mother sure looked weird. She wasn’t like this
before.”
Right, she was never like this before.
Thought now she had changed her attitude towards her, it was because the baby in her belly.
Margaret then continued, “Does it mean that Marshall’s mother has recognized you? Then I really think
that you and Marshall can get back together.”
Katherine sneered. Frances’ attitude was never the deciding factor in she and Marshall’s relationship.
Though she didn’t like her, she would never give up something just for her.
She and Marshall had their own problems.
Seeing that Katherine didn’t answer her question, Margaret pursued, “You and Marshall’s relationship
had been much better since you came back. You weren’t that repulsive to mention him. Your face
would immediately change once you mention him before.”
Katherine let out a wry smile, “Well, I just feel like he could be quite useful sometimes.”
