By the time Marshall arrived at the Hendersons’ mansion, Clara’s parents had already come back and
there were maids waiting by the gate.
They seemed to be waiting for Clara.
After getting out of the car, Clara said thanks to Marshall who nodded, “Take a rest. You must be tried.”
Then Clara just entered the mansion and Marshall drove away.
Marshall then drove to the company and went to Khalid’s office.
He didn’t talk about the Hendersons and just asked if Khalid stayed over at Frances’ house last night.
Khalid laughed, “Since when you are also so nosy as Katherine?”
Marshall nodded, “Well, it’s probably because that we’re more like each other after having all this time
together.”
He then added, “Don’t change the subject. Were you with my mother last night?”
Khalid nodded, “Yeah, it was too late and I didn’t come back.”
What a great excuse.
Marshall then followed, “Well, actually, you could think about moving to my mom’s place. It would be
much easier. Moreover, it can show your attitude. My mom would be more secure inside and my
grandma would bend the rules a little bit.”
Khalid frowned and seriously mused this idea, “You do have a point.”
Marshall nearly broke into laughter.
He actually just gave Khalid an out to move in with Frances, otherwise, Khalid would be too
embarrassed to bring up the matter himself.
Marshall raised his eyebrows, “Well then, you can think about this. I will leave you alone.”
He then turned around and went back to his office.
He actually didn’t have a lot of stuff to do now.
After waiting in the office for a while, Peter came in with a file.
Marshall first thought that it was about work, but he found out that it was about the Hendersons.
Marshall skimmed thought it and said, “This is too much. I will read it carefully.”
Peter clicked his tongue, “Well, the minion that I asked to investigate the Hendersons reported every
little details about it. It’s really nerve-wrecking.”
Marshall nodded, “Thanks for your hard work.”
Peter was clearly tired, “Well, then, I will get back to my work. I got a lot of things to deal with.”
Marshall sat on the chair for a while and then called Katherine.
It took Katherine a long time to answer the call.
After picking up the phone, Katherine asked Marshall if he was still busying about the Hendersons.
Marshall responded, “Nah, it’s over now. I’m just wondering what are you doing now.”
Katherine said that she was going to Frances’ place and was dying to know what happened between
Khalid and Frances yesterday,
Marshall told her to be careful and liked the idea that she wanted to talk with Frances, otherwise, she
would be too bored alone at home.
She can kill some time chatting with Frances.
Katherine then hung up the phone after talking with Marshall for a while.
Katherine went downstairs and asked the bodyguards to drive her to Frances’ place.
The car drove onto the state highway after exiting the hill.
The driver suddenly said, “Mrs. Grant, be careful. I got to speed up.”
Katherine immediately knew that something was wrong and looked back, “What happened?”
The driver replied, “There are two cars flanking us. Hold on.”
He then stepped on the gas pedal and the car started racing.
Katherine leaned against the car seat tightly out of inertia.
She clutched at the seat belt while protecting her belly.
She then saw the two cars following them in a while.
Katherine hurriedly took out her phone and called Marshall.
She put the phone on speaker and told him what was going on.
The driver said that there were two cars that were tailing them and he wasn’t sure if he can get rid of
them.
Marshall was immediately serious and told him to head towards the downtown area.
He would send someone to help them immediately and told the driver to report his real-time position.
Katherine was actually a bit scared for the baby inside her belly.
She had suffered a lot carrying this baby and didn’t want anything happen to the baby.
The driver then drove to the downtown area and wanted to get rid of those two cars at intersections.
But those two cars seemed to be crazy and didn’t stop even after scratching other people’s car.
They just charged towards Katherine’s car.
The driver mumbled, “They want to hit us.”
Katherine was taken aback.
She would sure lose the baby if the car was knocked severely.
Marshall had also heard the driver’s words and asked the car’s location constantly.
The driver was pretty experienced and crisscrossed the traffic like a mud fish.
There were a lot of red lights in the downtown area.
Katherine looked at the red light in front of them and it was in countdown.
She yelled, “Let’s go.”
The driver instantly stepped on the accelerator.
It was actually dangerous to drive at such a high speed in the city.
Katherine closed her eyes out of fear.
The car stormed out after the light turned yellow.
Those two cars wanted to jump the red light, but the traffic next to them had already started moving
and they had to stop.
The driver was obviously relieved and was even sweating on the forehead.
It was really dangerous before,
Katherine looked back and was certain that those two cars weren’t following them.
She then told Marshall that they were safe now.
Marshall was still insecure and told the driver to pull over and find a spot to hide.
The driver then stopped at a supermarket and told Katherine to stand by the supermarket gate.
There were a lot of shoppers and no one would dare to hurt someone in broad daylight.
Katherine hurriedly went to the supermarket and hided in a relatively concealed spot.
Marshall arrived soon after.
He called Katherine’s name and she immediately came out.
Marshall was really sacred and knew how dangerous before as he was on the phone the whole time.
He scanned Katherine up and down and then stroked her belly, “Are you okay?”
Katherine nodded, “I’m all right. I was really lucky.”
She then took out her phone and showed Marshall the photos of those two cars that she had taken
before.
The car plate was pretty visible, but it must be fake.
