CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 178

Katherine and Hector walked out of the company and got in the car.

As Hector was about to start the car, Katherine asked, "I guess your mother and that of your brothers are not the same one, am I right?"

In her opinion, David and Hector were not seemingly getting along well at first sight, and later the former even tried to dig out the relationship between Hector and Marshall from her, all of which revealed his hostility and vigilance rather than intimacy and brotherhood.

Therefore, her intuition told Katherine that they were possibly half-brothers, and it was quite weird to say that David was the son of Hector's young mother, since his age did not seemingly match for it.

"Yeah." Answered Hector outright.

He pulled the car into the road and continued, "David was the kid of the first wife of my father, while Patrick and Alexis were the children of the younger mother."

Before Katherine could even interrupt and ask, Hector offered a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "And me, I'm the so-called kind of despicable bastard — my mom is not on the list."

His words stunned Katherine. 'Does he mean that he is a child born out of wedlock?' She thought to herself.

Katherine took a deep breath, and began to realize that such story was quite natural in a well-to-do family: after all, it was not strange to see a man having affairs outside of his family, especially for a rich man.

Even for those men who were leading a straitened life, they would struggle their way out to doing so persistently, not to mention those rich men, who were always surrounded by a bulk of women without doing anything special.

It was no wonder that they were more likely to have an affair than their less well-off counterparts.

She once held the opinion that she would possibly suffer from such marital problems when she married Marshall, since it was commonplace for those rich families like Family Grant.

While she changed her opinion when she met Khalid, a man of real loyalty and honesty.

Regardless of the rest of Family Grant's men, Khalid had really shown Katherine what a truly quality man should be like, and it was his existence that made her almost leave behind the rotten essence of men.

And now, hearing the words of Hector again reminded her of the fatal flaw marrying a rich man.

However, it was lucky for her to marry Marshall, who happened to share the commonplace of male qualities with Khalid and had not yet done anything traitorous to Katherine.

Katherine slightly licked her lips and said, "So, how's your mother doing? Is she…"

As she was about to continue, she dumbed and didn't know how to express herself appropriately.

Luckily, Hector didn't get her wrong.

Hector answered, "She has left and already composed herself a new family."

Hector took a peer at her and gave a silent smile.

The restaurant was located beside a residential building, and there were not many people inside since it was still daytime.

Hector, followed by Katherine, got inside and picked a seat by the window.

A waiter came over and handed the menu over to the two.

Katherine was not going to go easy on him and ordered a hell bulk of dishes.

Hector then added two snacks and handed over the order to the waiter.

Not until the waiter had gone did Hector say, "I'm wondering whether Mr. Grant is really going to deal with those things spreading on network or not, since no response is yet to be heard from Family Grant for the moment."

The only response would be the explanation given yesterday by Katherine, who was surrounded by several groups of media people.

And thus it was reported by many people that she was the one responsible for stepping out and dealing with the spreading public opinion.

The current attitude of Family Grant was as if they dared not to confront Miss. Dolly face to face.
