CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 344

The police came soon and began to inquire. At last, they led the police to the video room.

Kyle pointed at the man in the video, “We don’t know the man. He kept lingering around our private room and he took our friend away.”

Before the police gave a word, Marshall arrived.

He ran here. He ran to the private room first, but he didn’t meet Katherine there. So he then ran to the video room.

Looking at breathless Marshall, Katherine doubted, “Why you so urgent?”

Before Peter told all the things, Marshall hung up and rushed here.

He grabbed Katherine’s arms, scanning from head to toe, “What’s wrong with you?”

Standing beside, Peter felt so helpless.

He said first, “Boss, you are too worried to listen to me. I said something wrong with Kathrine’s friend.”

Hearing his words, Marshall set his heart at rest. “I am so terrified. I thought you were in danger.”

Katherine got rid of his hands, “Margaret was kidnapped. If you can help, please find her.”

Looking at the police, Marshall was aware that this thing can be a tough one.

But he said to Katherine in a gentle tone, “You return to the private room now and I handle this thing here. Trust me.”

Anyhow, Katherine believed in him.

Kyle came over to hold Katherine with his hand around her shoulder, “Back to the room. We are here and we will make it.”

Marshall’s eyes fell on Kyle’s hand on Katherine’s shoulder for seconds.

Katherine knew that she can do nothing here, so she said, “Get me informed of any news, please.”

Marshall got along well with the police and he was familiar with the procedures of giving evidences.

On the contrary, Kyle became upset in front of the police. After all, he experienced a family thing of administrative enforcement.

So Marshall asked him to return the private room with Katherine.

Kyle said nothing more and turned to leave with Katherine.

Sitting on the sofa, they both lowered head, frustrated.

Intuition told Katherine that there may be something to do with her about this kidnapping thing.

Margaret was a simple girl. She ever said that she had no friends and seldom went out with someone owing to strict family education.

Katherine cannot imagine that such a simple girl would have any enemies

So Katherine got her in this. Thinking of this, Katherine felt so sorry.

Kyle in the private room also gave some calls, asking his men to investigate who took Margaret away.

Soon, Marshall and Peter came. Nothing can be told from their look, and they said the police were looking for Margaret.

They were not in a mood, so Peter said, “We go back first, and it’s noisy here. We’d better come back and expect any news from the police.”

Then they all went to Katherine’s house. After all, she lived here alone and it’s a better place for them now.

Katherine took seated on the sofa, waiting with expectation.

Kyle went to the kitchen and got Katherine a cup of warm water.

With the cup in her hand, she spoke, “Today, Margaret wore my clothes. We are in similar shapes, so we both got changed here.”

The three men all turned and looked over at her.

She just stared at the thermos on the tea table, continuing, “We took a taxi. On the half way, the driver asked us whether we pissed somebody off, but I was not aware of danger at that time. When we arrived at the KTV, the driver cautioned us to be careful.”

Kyle stared at Katherine, “You mean that you were tracked all the way.”

Marshall spoke, “You mean that you are their target and they mistake Margaret for you.”

Katherine closed eyes, “This is the most reasonable explanation.”

Marshall stared at Katherine. If Katherine was their target, the men behind the gang were limited. After all, Katherine’s enemies were rare.

He stood up, “I go to give a call.”

He went to the yard and called Frances. Frances gave a quick answer in a joyful tone, “Marshall, you call me! What’s up?”

Marshall spoke after pausing for seconds, “I got something to talk with you and I hope you tell me the truth.”

His serious tone made Frances quiet, “What’s wrong? You scared me.”

Marshall took a deep breath, “You messed up Katherine again, right?”

Frances exclaimed, “What? I messed her up? She told you?”

“No.” Said Marshall, “Something wrong with Katherine, and I need to know whether it has something to do with you.”

Silence lasted for a while and Marshall kept waiting.

Finally, she spoke, “Marshall, Katherine weighs more than your mother in your heart, right? Will you keep questioning me as long as something is wrong with her?”

Marshall just wanted the truth, “Police intervened. If yes, I can do something to cover you, if not, I will keep investigating. All I want is the truth.”

Frances replied seriously, “No!”

“Ok, I will leave it to the police.” Marshall hung up.

He believed in her words this time and he can feel the anger in her voice, besides, she never bothered making excuses in terms of Katherine

After hanging up, Marshall lost in thoughts. It’s not Frances, so who?

Marshall and Kyle stayed up in her house all night, while Peter left. Peter had to work the next day.

Katherine also stayed up all night in her own room.

The next morning, a call from the police rang, and they were told that Margaret was found.
