CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Katherine was slow to respond. Standing by her side, Hector was not. He jumped over and covered her in his arms, his back turned against the crowd.

A few steps from Katherine, it was too late for Marshall to react. The porcelain fragment landed right on Hector’s back, before falling to the ground and breaking into many smaller pieces.

Katherine felt pain in her calf. The shattered pieces must have been given her a cut.

Watching Hector and Katherine with his eyes wide open, Kyle forgot to stomp around.

The whole room went quiet for a few seconds.

Marshall was the first to respond, moving forward to push Hector away before he gave Katherine a thorough scan. “You alright?” asked Marshall, his hands on her shoulder.

Pursing her lips, Katherine looked up to Marshall and then Hector. “I’ve got pain in my calves, but I don’t want to look. Is it bleeding?”

Katherine was wearing dungarees, and most of her thighs and all of all calves were exposed.

Hurried, Marshall crouched down to find her calves indeed bleeding from cuts by the porcelain fragments. There were a couple of wounds, one of which looked bigger and more serious.

Katherine was afraid of pains. She would refuse to watch getting injections, and naturally she wouldn’t look at her injuries, either.

Having taken some time to recollect himself, Kyle leapt straight towards Alexis. “How dare you hurt her! I’ll kill you!”

Kyle was never one for ethical behaviors, being the sort of guy that would threaten to beat up his own father when he disputed with him. So now, faced with Alexis Bennett, who he had loathed from the very start, he didn’t even think twice before lifting his leg to kick her.

Patrick leaned over to pull Alexis away, and Kyle’s kick landed on Patrick full throttle.

Over at the side, Ariel leapt across the room to stand before Patrick and Alexis. “What do you think you’re doing hurting my children?”

Standing very still, Katherine didn’t even dare to look down. Her voice trembling, she asked, “Marshall, is that a big wound? Does it look scary? My legs hurt and I can’t stand anymore. Come give me a hand.”

The wounds weren’t particularly big. With blood seeping out, they just looked serious on Katherine’s carefully maintained skin.
