CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 42

Marshall took out his phone. Then he called Peter right in front of Sam and the woman.

Peter picked it up right away. He had no clue about what was going on, so he sounded glad. "What can I do for you, boss?”

Marshall's voice was low and deep. He asked, "When will you and Kathy be back?"

Peter suddenly fell into silence.

He was shocked because Marshall had never called her Kathy before.

Peter quite clever and paused for a moment and then replied, "She's probably here somewhere... I don't know, but she didn't mention about the time. Why? Is there a problem at the hotel?”

Marshall smile and said, "It's nothing, just asking. So have fun, you two."

He hung up the phone.

Sam and the woman had complicated expressions on their faces. Marshall raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you hear that?"

He didn't want to say anything anymore and shut the door immediately. Then his face turned gloomy.

Sam waited for this tremendous show. Marshall assumed that Sam would use this incident and held it against him someday.

The public still had no idea about the divorce.

People still sees them as a married couple.

Even if he had been drugged, spending one night with an unknown woman. This incident would have a huge impact on his reputation.

Sam let the woman put up the show at Marshall's door, because he wanted this to go public.

Sam wanted him to be afraid.

Marshall let out a sigh of relief.

Lucky for him, it was Katherine who dropped by that night.

However, if he wanted this matter to be resolved, there would be another issue.

He couldn't let their divorce to go public.

The public should never find out about this, no matter what the reason was.

Marshall frowned and sat back down on the sofa.

Peter again called him back.

Marshall picked up and said, "What?"

Peter sounded serious, "Well, boss. We're on our way back now..."

"It’s okay to talk now," Marshall said.

Peter paused and let out a long sigh of relief. Then he asked, "What was that about? What happened?”

Marshall leaned back and said, "They've put cards on the table about the whole drugging thing.”

Peter sometimes acted like an idiot, but at critical times, he had clear mindset.

He couldn't help swearing, "Is that what they are trying to do?”

Marshall let out a sigh of relief, "It's all taken care of now.”

Peter still sounded very upset. “They are just so devious. We could have been at their mercy now if Katherine had not been there that day.”

It didn’t matter, the public only cared whether if Marshall had slept with another woman.

They would care less about the fact that he had been drugged. If this got out, it would definitely ruin the the Grants.

Most people only cared about the results, not the cause.

Marshall’s family business was huge, they had many enemies.

Many of their foes would be happy to rubbed this into Marshall's face when they discovered about this.

Marshall did not dare to imagine the end result.

Marshall leaned back and closed his eyes, "So you guys didn't need to come back so soon, just go and have fun, it's all right.”

Peter was no longer in the mood. He said, "It's fine, we're on our way back already. We'll be back soon. Katherine is having another stomachache. She needs to take some pills."

Marshall hummed and said. “Okay, let’s talk about it when you get back.”

Then he hung up the phone and put it aside.

Marshall felt his heart throbbing so fast. Things had gone out of his control lately.

He didn’t like this feeling.

A while later, he suddenly realized something. He quickly made a call to the old house.

His grandmother answered the phone and said, “Marshall, shouldn’t you be busy now?”
