CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 551 Clara Came to Visit

The next day, Marshall woke up first, while Katherine was still sleeping.

He tried his best not to make a sound, packed up and went downstairs.

Grandma Grant didn’t come down on time today. Marshall heard from the servant that Grandma Grant didn’t have a good rest last night, so she would come down for dinner later today.

As a result, there was only Marshall at the dinner table.

Khalid didn’t come back last night. It seemed that he listened to his advice and really planned to stay with Frances.

When Marshall was eating, his cell phone rang. It was Clara who called.

Clara said that she had found some documents stored by Ryan. She wanted to take time to send them to Marshall.

Now Clara did not work in the company, so she had time all day.

She asked Marshall when he had time. She would send the documents over then.

Marshall had several meetings today. He was not sure whether he could be free at noon.

Therefore, he thought about it for a while and said that he would talk about it after get off work.

Clara didn’t seem to be in a hurry, so she consented.

Marshall left after eating. He had to deal with lots of business affairs for the company.

Lately he left his work and enjoyed his free time, so there was a backlog for him now.

He hurried himself in his work. He didn’t think about anything else all day, and he didn’t call Katherine. Until he stopped working in the evening, Marshall felt he could have a break.

He took out his cell phone. That was fine. Katherine didn’t call him either.

He didn’t know whether it means she relied on him or actually she didn’t care about those things at all.

In fact, Marshall really wanted to take Katherine and have a good talk with her last night. He wanted ask her about these things.

But without the constraints of the marriage certificate, he always felt that he had no position to ask her too many questions.

Who said that a marriage certificate was useless? As you can see, it was useful at this time.

Marshall finished his work. He left the company and got into the car.

After starting the car and driving out for a while, he remembered what Clara had said to him in the morning.

Clara answered immediately. She said with a smile and told him that she had been waiting for his call.

Marshall drove towards the old house. He said that he would go home for dinner first. He would come out later to meet Clara, and then study the documents in her hands.

Clara said “Okay”, telling Marshall not to worry.

Marshall then took it easy and drove home.

Katherine and Grandma Grant were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

They were watching a variety show. He didn’t know what was funny, only to see the two of them laughed together.

When Marshall went in, Katherine turned her head and glanced at him. Then she stood up, “You come back. Then we can have dinner. We were just waiting for you.”

Marshall was a little tired today, so he didn’t have much time to think about anything else.

He went to wash his hands, and sat down with Katherine and Grandma Grant to eat.

Before the meal was finished, the butler came over. He said Clara came.

Marshall was surprised. He turned to look at the butler and asked, “Did she come? Where is she?”

The butler said she was right at the door.

Grandma Grant glanced at Marshall and said to the butler, “As she is here, we should invite her in. Please let her come in.”

The butler went right away.

Katherine lowered her head and continued to eat her food in the bowl. She didn’t say a word, but her expression was a little glacial.

Clara was invited in by the butler. When she saw they were still eating, she felt a little sorry. “I’m sorry. I thought you would finish eating. It seems that I came too early.”

Grandma Grant said it was okay, and then said, “Please wait for a while. You are here to visit Marshall. Is there anything?”

Clara said, “Yes. I have something that wants to talk to him about.”

Marshall turned his head and asked Clara to wait outside for a while, saying that he would be ready soon.

Until Clara turned around and sat on the sofa, Marshall turned and looked at Katherine.

Katherine had eaten her food in the bowl in a few mouthfuls. She was wiping her mouth, and there was no expression on her face.

Grandma Grant suppressed her voice next to Marshall, “What else do you want to talk about with her? You even called her home.”

Marshall winked, “We need to talk about something indeed. It’s all about the company. Don’t think too much. There’s nothing between us.”

Katherine put down the tissue and stood up, “I’ve finished. You guys just eat slowly. I’m going for a walk.”

She walked out of the dining room. When she passed the living room, she greeted Clara.

Clara stared at Katherine and nodded to her.

Katherine went out from the main building. It was a little dark outside, and she walked towards the backyard.

Over there, Lucas packed up and just came out. It seemed that he was going out again.

Lucas noticed Katherine walking this way, so he stopped.

Waiting for Katherine to come to him, he said, “It’s getting dark. Try not to walk outside for too long.”

Katherine nodded, “Are you going out? Now is at nightfall. Are you going on a date?”

Lucas frowned slightly, “It’s not a date. I go out to meet a friend.”

Katherine giggled, “If this friend of you is a girl, you should try to get along well with her. You rarely go out for a person as today.”

Lucas stared at Katherine for more time, “I didn’t expect you to know me quite well.”

Katherine turned sideways and then walked to the backyard. She said, “I don’t know you very well. But as I know, you don’t seem to make many friends in normal times. It’s only a guess.”

Lucas turned around and looked at Katherine’s pregnant steps. After a while, he smiled.

After Marshall had dinner, he came out and called Clara to go upstairs. The two went to the study.

Clara did as Marshall told her. She photographed some documents in Ryan’s safe.

In addition to financial receipts and sales details, there were files that she didn’t understand very well, which seemed to be mortgage contracts.

The content of the mortgage contract seemed to be large items such as house properties and vehicles.

And there were some resale contracts as well.

In short, there were lots of complicated things. Clara had no clue when she saw them.

Marshall transferred all these photos to his cell phone. Then he uploaded them to the computer to enlarge them.

It was indeed a lot of complicated things.

It seemed that some current accounts were included as well.

There were also some overseas receipts.

In short, what involved was a bit broad.

Marshall frowned, “How much of these and else was controlled by Ryan?”

Clara wasn’t sure either. She pulled up a chair and sat beside Marshall, looking at these things, “Can you understand? I’m really scared when I see such things. I’m particularly feared that one day these things will be found. Then the Henderson family will be ruined.”

The more complicated Ryan’s documents were, the more uncertain Clara felt.

Besides, Ryan had been secretly going to Tomas’s room these days. Clara didn’t know what they were discussing in private!

Ryan was old. If he really had some unknown business in his hands, as Jakub was gone, he would either transfer it to Tomas or her.

Ryan didn’t talk to her, and he went to see Tomas frequently.

Clara felt that Tomas should be his target.

Tomas had always been filial and easy to be persuaded.

It was understandable that Ryan chose him.
