CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 214

There wasn’t much a delay on their way over. When Marshall parked the car in front of the Bennett mansion, screams could still be heard inside.

Katherine, sighing in relief, was all pumped up and ready to fight.

Giving her a look, Marshall said, “Chillax, will you? At least find out what’s going on first.”

But Kyle, even in more of a hurry than her, had already charged outside before Marshall could finish speaking.

Kicking on the closed front gate, Kyle shouted, “David, Patrick, and Alexis Bennett, and, what’s her name, oh right, Ariel Kingsey. Come out here and explain to me what you’ve done to Hex. If any of you lot even lays a finger on him, there’s going to be hell to pay.”

Hand on the car door handle, Katherine frowned. When she went to Bennet & Co. with Hector, David changed Hector’s title off the cuff for her sake. Then, since Kyle carried even more weight than her, why didn’t David treat Hector better for Kyle’s sake? That she couldn’t understand.

As Kyle was yelling, someone that seemed to be a maid came out, and went back inside upon seeing him.

Katherine and Marshall got out of the car and stood by the gate. Kyle was kicking and hitting the iron fence gate and shouting endlessly, while Katherine gazed at the living room.

Out came Hector after only a couple of seconds, with a neutral expression on his face.

Hector walked over and opened the gate. “What are you all doing here?”

Giving him a thorough scan, Kyle asked, “You alright? Did they hit you? Leave it to me if you don’t want to fight. I’ll beat the shit out of these assholes for you.”

“That wouldn’t be necessary. Everything’s totally fine,” sighed Hector.

On the side, Marshall asked, “Not planning to invite us in?”

Hector seemed hesitant as he glanced between Marshall and Katherine. But Kyle, not one for guest manners, marched in the living room’s direction in hasty strides.

Katherine was about to follow when Marshall grabbed her arm. “Stay back.”

“Huh?” said Katherine, not knowing what he meant.

“Did you all get into a quarrel?” Marshall asked Hector.

“Nothing serious, really,” replied Hector, a corner of his mouth slightly raised, “just a small argument that has since gone away.”

Right as he finished speaking, there were cracking noises coming from inside the house that sounded like shattering glass. Then came Kyle’s loud cursing.

Marshall and Hector immediately headed inside the house, followed by Katherine with hurried footsteps.

There were in fact quite some people in the living room. All the Bennetts were there, with old Mr. Bennett sitting on the sofa and coughing incessantly, looking absolutely furious. Ariel Kingsey was standing by his side, and around her laid countless shards of objects that looked like water glasses and vases.

Standing by the door, Katherine looked around to find all of the Bennett children standing motionlessly, looking sullen.

Kyle, not knowing exactly what happened, cursed profusely at them for mistreating Hector.

Standing behind Kyle, Katherine secretly applauded his stamina and effect.

Frowning, Marshall glanced around and landed his eyes on David Bennett, who he had met and had a few drinks with at work-related functions before.

David was looking displeased, too, but all in all, he didn’t have much to do with the row, and he was actually also tired of his endlessly bickering family.

David took notice of Marshall’s stare. “Sorry you had to witness all this, Mr. Grant,” he sighed.

Noncommittally, Marshall replied, “I’ve heard gossips before, but still, this has truly been eye-opening.”

David looked too embarrassed to respond.

Over on the side, Alexis, who had been staring at the broken pieces of the vase, suddenly went hysterical with no reason. Stepping forward, she plunged down to pick up the biggest piece of the fragments and chucked it at Kyle. “Nobody that is not a Bennett gets to have a say in our family business. Get out, all of you!”

Alexis had better aim than Kyle, apparently, as the fragment, almost the size of half the original vase, went directly flying towards him.

Kyle was quick to respond, as he swerved to avoid the fragment.

The thing was, he was standing in front of Katherine, who was watching Marshall as she tried to listen in on his conversation with David. In the business world, Marshall was known as a master of negotiation with a strong presence. His way of dealing with this kind of situation was in fact much more effective than Kyle’s smashing around.

Deep in her thoughts, Katherine didn’t at all register the object darting towards her. She just sensed something getting bigger and bigger from the corner of her eyes.
