CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 288

Frances said, “I disagree. I won’t divorce. I’d rather die than get divorced!”

Old Mrs. Grant had expected Frances to react like this.

She stood up, took the album to the closet, and put it away.

She continued to say, still very gentle, “You don’t have to get divorced, but if this matter drags on, it will definitely not be good for you.”

After putting the album away, Old Mrs. Grant turned around, “The person you hired today has already confessed that you instigated him. Have you ever thought about the consequences of this news being passed to the media?”

Old Mrs. Grant laughed, “You asked such a man to teach Katherine a lesson. You just want him to beat her?”

Frances pursed her mouth and kept silent.

Her only advantage was honesty.

She asked someone to teach Katherine a lesson, and the person she asked was even a young gangster.

It was fake that she had no other ideas in her mind.

But it was also fake that she had a vicious mind and wanted that man to ruin Katherine’s innocence.

She didn’t want to think about it, nor did she dare.

Anyway, she just ordered that man to beat Katherine. She didn’t let that person do anything else.

Old Mrs. Grant looked at Frances, “Don’t you know Katherine’s personality? Even if nothing else happened and she was just beaten, do you think she could spare you? By that time, not only the Grant family but also the Mason family would be in trouble.”

Frances took a deep breath, “But he shouldn’t have succeeded, right? Since you all know this, that person should have failed.”

Old Mrs. Grant finally couldn’t help but sneer, “It doesn’t matter whether this matter is successful or not. When I went to your house just now, I didn’t tell your mother about it. How would she react if she knew this? Would she help you or help me after knowing that I asked you to divorce Khalid?”

Frances was taken aback. She was not worried about her mother but her father, Ronan Mason.

Old Mr. Mason was not in good health recently, so he was in a bad mood. He had scolded her a lot for returning to the natal family.

Sometimes when he was anxious, he would even ask her to divorce Khalid so as not to harm his family.

Old Mr. Mason was a bad-tempered person, and he had been like this for so many years.

Although he had a bad temper, he was very upright. If he knew what she had done, he might break her leg.

Old Mrs. Grant looked at Frances, “You two used to have a good relationship, so I don’t want to blow up the matter. I also want to leave you a way out in the future. If this matter becomes significant, you may live a hard life in the future.”

Frances was still unconvinced, “Does Khalid know that? Does he know what you did? What did he say? Does he want to divorce me just because of this matter?”

Old Mrs. Grant seemed to think about it for a while and said, “You can think that he wants to divorce you because of this matter. This matter is just a fuse. All the disappointments have been accumulated over the years.”

After Old Mrs. Grant came back, she told Khalid what she had done in the Mason family’s house.

Khalid should have guessed it. After hearing what she had said, he just kept silent.

Khalid didn’t say anything to refute. Although he looked a little sad, Old Mrs. Grant felt that he should have been tired in this marriage.

This kind of tiredness was not formed in one or two days.

It was that the thirty-year marriage wore him out bit by bit.

Frances stopped talking.

Old Mrs. Grant looked at her, “Khalid is not at home today. If you want to rest here, you can go back to your room.”

Frances stood up after two seconds. Judging from her expression, she was still very unwilling.

Old Mrs. Grant sighed silently. It was already like this, but Frances still didn’t reflect on that.

Frances returned to the room. This room was the same as before. Except for the things she took away, nothing else changed.

She went to sit on the sofa. Her brain was in buzz.

From the tone of Old Mrs. Grant, she could hear that the Grant family had made up its mind.

She covered her face and couldn’t think about what the following days would be if she was driven out by the Grant family.

It was estimated that the Mason family would not take her in. She had only returned to her natal family for two days, but she was already detested.

However, it was also not good to let her go out and live alone.

Because it was inevitable that she would meet people she knew before.

She couldn’t raise her head to face those people’s eyes.

She estimated that if she saw Lydia next time, she would have to take a detour, let alone see others.

Frances was so angry that she thumped the bed.

At this time, the phone rang in her pocket.

She thought the call was from Khalid, but when she took it out, she found that it was from the Mason family.

Needless to say, she knew the intention of this call.

Frances directly hung up and threw the phone aside.

Now she didn’t want to answer anyone’s phone except Khalid’s.

Marshall was actually in the room on the other side of the corridor all the time.

He heard Mrs. Grant’s voice over the corridor, but now he was not in the mood to take care of those things.

He held the phone and hesitated for a long time.

He wanted to call Katherine, but he really didn’t know what to say.

Today this matter was still serious.

It was just that this matter hadn’t caused any serious consequences, so it could still be handled so peacefully.

According to Katherine’s personality, If something really happened to her, she would definitely raise a rumpus.

At that time, nobody knew how the situation would end.

Marshall actually didn’t understand.

Since Katherine married him, she has always had a concessionary attitude towards Mrs. Grant. Why did Mrs. Grant hate Katherine so much? Why did she have to aim at her everywhere?

She still couldn’t let it go until they divorced.

It was really incomprehensible.

In the end, Marshall didn’t call Katherine but put the phone down.

He felt that something was wrong and abnormal because he was not such an indecisive person.

He had encountered great events before, but he had never been so uncomfortable.

Marshall took a deep breath, got up, and went to the bathroom.

He took a shower with cold water.

After the cold water was poured from head to toe, he felt his mind became clear in an instant.

Marshall came out and looked at himself in the mirror of the closet while putting on his clothes.

He attributed this kind of abnormality, tension, or discomfort to the fact that he became single abruptly and completely.

They had been a couple for a year. Even if he didn’t like it, he must be used to it.

Later, they went through the divorce procedures, but they did not break off all relations with each other.

Now they did break off all relations with each other. So he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, probably because he was not used to it.

After Marshall finished wearing his clothes, he stood there and stared at himself in the mirror for a long time.

Then he nodded slowly. He felt that he got over it and suddenly cheered up.

He cleaned up the mess and then went downstairs.

There was some wind in the night. Marshall stood in front of the main building for a while, thought about it, and headed towards the backyard.

In fact, it was just a subconscious action. He remembered that Katherine had gone to the bamboo forest on the back hill.

She went with Lucas at the time.

Marshall knew the bamboo forest. He already went there when he was a child, and thought it was nothing. Now he hasn’t visited it for so many years.

He walked towards it and found that the back door was actually open.

Marshall was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t think about anything else. He went through the back door and headed directly towards the bamboo forest.

He illuminated with his mobile phone and walked along the path towards the inside.

As a result, after walking for a while, he found a bright light ahead.

When he got closer, he vaguely saw someone standing there in the depths of the bamboo forest.

Marshall said intuitively, “Lucas?”
