CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Frances froze with surprise for a second when she spotted Katherine, and then proceeded to scowl. Even at a disgraced stage of her life, she decided to still regard Katherine as inferior.

Katherine, on the other hand, was all smiles. “Was it Mr. Grant I spotted talking with you a minute earlier? Why did he leave so early? Did you two have a fight?”

Frances, not wanting to engage, was about to walk away when Katherine giggled. “Why are you still riding in the Grant family car when you’re no longer a part of the family? What, they gave you custody of the car when you divided common property or something?”

Frances stopped in her tracks. Opening her eyes wide, she demanded, “What are you babbling on about?”

Katherine looked practically joyful as she ignored Frances’ question to say, “A certain someone here used to mock me all the time for not deserving the title of Marshall’s wife. Well, look how that someone ended up herself. Banished from the family, in addition to being old and frail – how terribly sad indeed. I’m young and childless, so I probably still have a shot at this marriage thing, but how is someone much older – in fact, someone who is already half buried in her grave – supposed to get herself a husband, I wonder?”

Frances looked icy cold. “Don’t sass me, young lady. And stop with the lies you tell.”

“Lies?” laughed Katherine, “do you honestly think you can keep it a secret?”

Katherine turned around to check out Frances’ car before leaning casually on it. “That’s rather unoriginal of you, isn’t it, trying to keep your separation from Mr. Grant a secret, just like what Marshall and I did? Didn’t your ladyship herself reveal my divorce from Marshall? I never want to owe anything to anyone, and more importantly, I don’t want to be owed. We’ll get even if I reveal your divorce from your husband, don’t you think?”

Frances looked thunderous. “Don’t you dare.”

“But of course I do dare,” said Katherine with a loud chuckle, “my dear lady, of course I dare, especially for you!”

Pursing her lips, Frances remained silent, not knowing what to say in this situation. There was, indeed, nothing that Katherine dared not do, not with her not-a-care-in-the-world personality.

Watching Frances closely, Katherine felt bored. Frances had lost all her fight so it was not fun picking on her at all now.

Consequently, Katherine said, “Clara misses you a lot and has said that she’ll visit you at the Grant residence one of these days. So watch out for that.”

“Clara wants to visit me?” said Frances, surprised.
