CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

As for Khalid, he went back to the company in the afternoon, and the time was late when he arrived.

Instead of heading back to his own office, he went to Marshall.

Just in time, when he saw Marshall, Marshall had just finished reviewing and approving a file, leaning back in his chair with a tired face and kneading his brow ridge

Walking up and heaving a sigh, Khalid pulled out a chair for himself and sat down.

Marshall asked in the first place, "How's the thing going?"

Khalid pursed his lips and answered, "It's not going well. Things get complicated." 

For the hostess of the Hendersons and all her relatives, nearly all of them were sick, except for Louie. And as for the entire family of the second Hendersons' hostess, it had long been under the control and repression of its seniors, and thus they could never handle the family's daily affairs and support the whole Hendersons alone.

For the rest of its distant relatives, they just had done nothing practical but wrangling and messing around.

It was nothing wrong to say that things were getting complicated.

According to Khalid, the toxicology report of the residues inside of Jakub's stomach would be come out tomorrow,.

Maybe by then the truth of his death would be uncovered.

Once all the basic procedures of the hospital were done, what followed would be the funeral ceremony of Jakub.

Those youngsters of the family were too unsophisticated to get everything done decently and ceremoniously, so they seemed to have no better choice but to simply gather all the Hendersons around to say farewell to Jakub and then bury him in a proper place.

Tomas had talked about many things neither here nor there with Khalid today — the things seemed to have exerted a great impact on him.

In the meantime, Marshall was mentioned in his speech. He had drawn a quite beautiful image about the things between Marshall and Louie in the future: according to him, if Marshall were to marry Louie and reach out his helping hand to the Hendersons, Jakub would lead the whole family to even better prosperity than he could have ever done.

Khalid knew clearly that Tomas's sayings were only a bunch of exaggeration due to the shock of Jakub's death, so he didn't make any refutation in the face of him.
