CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 261

Clara sounded skeptical, “What is it?”

Mrs. Grant giggled, “Wait a second. I’ll send it to you right away. I guarantee you would love it.”

Then Mrs. Grant sent the pictures that she had taken to Clara via Facebook without hanging up the phone.

After receiving the photos, Clara went quiet all of a sudden.

Mrs. Grant was surly merry and proceeded, “Clara, you see, Marshall and Katherine are actually divorced and got the certificate long ago, so it should be perfectly normal even if you really had anything with Marshall.”

Clara was still silent.

Mrs. Grant knew that Clara must be thunderstruck now, after all, she lied to her before by saying that Marshall and Katherine were still legally married without getting the papers, so it was totally understandable that Clara can’t get her head round this news during such a short amount of time that she had sprung the divorce on her.

Mrs. Grant then heaved a sigh and told Clara about the WF Group accident which justified why that Marshall didn’t want to announce the divorce with Katherine to the public. He actually didn’t have any extra feelings for Katherine but was just afraid that his reputation might be marred should the whole divorce be boiled up.

Mrs. Grant sounded upbeat, “Now it’s totally fine. The whole WF Group accident is over. Now we can just unleash the divorce to the public and you can be together. Do you see how easy it is to settle the whole thing?”

Clara paused for a long time and then spoke, “Can we really do that?”

“Why not? This is the best solution for you both.” Mrs. Grant smiled.

Clara didn’t reply, but she knew that Mrs. Grant hadn’t completely figured out the whole thing for a single divorce certificate wouldn’t be able to untangle everything. The WF Group accident might be unearthed once the divorce paper was known to the public.

Mrs. Grant continued, “Well now that some Internet trolls are calling that you are a homewrecker, right? You can just post these pictures and show that you two have mutual affections for each other. This will shut them up.”

Clara thought for a while and said, “Actually, Marshall should release the divorce himself. I can’t just handle this myself without asking for his opinion. He might get angry.”

“Surly he wouldn’t. There are no worries here.” Mrs. Grant was quite certain.

Clara didn’t continue and hung up the phone, saying that she needed some time to think it over.

Clara then locked herself in the room. Sitting on the bed, Clara pondered for a long time and examined those photos which can clearly show that Marshall and Katherine went through the divorce procedure long before the WF Group accident and Marshall’s business trip.

However, deep down, Clara knew that this was not a good timing to release the divorce to the public.

She had just been exposed that she could be secretly dating with Marshall and if Marshall just announced the divorce now, the public could easily connect the dots and associate the whole thing with WF Group, then all the words that Katherine had explained before would be regarded as lies and would only be taken as she was dousing the rumors for Marshall.

What’s more, Marshall had just divorced and then was reported to have some unexplained affairs with the female staff. No matter what the truth was, the public opinion would still favor the female employee.

Clara shut her eyes and was feeling undecided.

So who the hell bestowed Katherine the guts to swagger in front of her?

Thinking of this, Clara opened the door and went downstairs.

The Hendersons were all sitting in the living room.

Clara grinned, “I got some news for you and need your help on making the decision.”

Seeing Clara this way, Old Mr. Henderson paused and slowly unfolded his knitted brows.

On the other side of town, Katherine was lying on the bed and reading the text from Hector. He was saying that she shouldn’t feel too bad about what happened.

Katherine stroked her chest and wasn’t honestly feeling sad or anything. She was probably numb at this point.

She would feel love filled up in her heart before, but now, there was nothing left there.

Katherine tossed over and texted Hector back.

Kyle then called her the minute she sent the text.

Katherine frowned and knew that he loved to come along for the ride, so it would actually be strange if he didn’t give a call at this minute.

Katherine then picked up the phone, “Spare your comforting. I’m all good.”

“No, Katherine, listen, I want to tell you something.” Kyle’s voice sounded rarely serious.

Katherine nodded and heard Kyle saying, “You know, my sister Rosalie has some connections with the press and after the news about Marshall was released today, I told my sister that she should watch out if the press would expose anything. She just told me that she got a thread from the media. Well, do you want to know what is it about?”

Katherine was surprised and giggled, “Sure, what is it? Is it horrifying? Why are you so serious?”

Kyle let out a sigh, “I’ll send it to you right away. You’d better check it first.”

He then hung up the phone and texted the photos.

Katherine downloaded it and became frozen upon seeing it.

After staring at it for a while, she broke into laughter.

She then called Kyle back and immediately got through. Kyle obviously didn’t believe the photo.

He added, “It’s a screenshot, right? There is no way that you divorced with Marshall. Do you even see the date on the photo? It happened long ago. I’ve told my sister that she should withhold the photo. Rest assured, we definitely won’t release this kind of fake news.”

Katherine directly asked, “I’m wondering who gave this photo to the media?”

Kyle hadn’t thought about this question before and was taken aback, “Well, just wait for me. I’ll ask my sister right away. I forgot to mention about this.”

After hanging up the phone, Katherine immediately got out of the bed and headed towards Marshall, but Marshall was not in his room.

Katherine then went downstairs and found Marshall standing in the yard.

Katherine gazed at Marshall’s back.

The divorce certificate in the photo belonged to Marshall, so he got to be the one who released it.

How disgusting was he? Just like what Kyle had said before, Marshall was an asshole.

How shameless was he to secretly expose the divorce to the public which would help him to better get away from the scandal after promising to her that she could say whatever she wanted to the public about the divorce.

She had never thought that Marshall would be this kind of person for no matter what happened before, she had always trusted his character.

Marshall turned around in a while and found Katherine.

Poker-faced, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Katherine answered, “Come over. I want to show you something interesting. I bet you would laugh out loud.”

Marshall frowned, but still, he stepped towards Katherine.

Katherine then handed her phone to Marshall, “Don’t you think that you should explain to me why are you announcing this divorce to the public without consulting with me first? Should I just wait to know that I got stabbed in my back after the news is all over the Internet?”

Marshall then took the phone. After seeing clearly what was on the phone, his face immediately changed.
