After Marshall's grandfather died, his grandmother's heath condition was getting worse day by day.
The time in the old house, she had been fasting and praying.
Marshall asked about her body condition and then he said, "I've got something to tell you.”
His grandmother hummed and said, "Just tell me, what is it? You don’t have to sounded so serious.”
The last time Marshall being so formal was when he announced the divorce.
Old Mrs. Grant still remembered how certain he was.
She was actually not very supportive of their divorce in the first place.
It was just like how she didn't approve their marriage.
Marriage is no child's game and she didn't believe that it would drove away the bad lucks.
It was her husband who sent her to persuade Marshall, told him to cancel his engagement with the Henderson family and married Katherine instead.
She was the first one who stood against it.
It was Marshall who compromised after much consideration.
In the end, Mr. Grant still passed away.
Then Marshall said he was going to divorce Katherine, and old Mrs. Grant was again the first one to oppose this idea.
The older generation had a more sincere attitude towards marriage. They believed that marriage is a lifetime commitment.
In the end, Everybody in this family agreed on the divorce except her.
She finally cave in because of Marshall’s certainty.
She didn't want to intervene too much because was their business.
Marshall stayed silent for a while and said, "I've ran into some troubles here and it might have something to do with my marriage. I'm just wondering if our family could hold the news of my divorce and don't let it go public for a short period of time.”
Mrs. Grant paused for a second and said, "What? What happened?”
Marshall found it so hard to explain it in just a few words.
Peter said she was not feeling very well, so she went back to take the medicine.
Peter still looked very upset, "Has WF Group got no shame? I know Sam is also part of the scheme, how could his subordinates be stupid enough to drug you."
Peter felt something while they were at the banquet.
Sam kept on giving toast and tried to make you drunk.
He made an excuse and said he wanted to use the bathroom.
Peter sat down and said, "If their schemes succeeded on that day, the terms of the contract would have to be changed.”
If Marshall had really slept with that woman, not knowing how to get rid of her in the future. But there was a high chance that they could kept on blackmailing him. That would put them in a very passive role in this negotiation.
Marshall had never thought such a big company would play so dirty during this critical moment.
Although he has seen a lot of intrigues in this industry, but he had never seen a partnership that started with drugging the party.
So Marshall was caught off-guarded.
