CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 446

Katherine dodged and sneered, “A lot of admirers? Yeah, Clara is one of them, right?”

Marshall suddenly stopped and his expression seemed to be frozen.

Clara was a taboo between them.

Upset, he sighed, “Trust me. There is nothing else between me and her. I didn’t take your feelings into consideration. Perhaps that’s why you feel uneasy.”

He directed her face towards his and looked into her eyes, saying seriously, “But I promise it won’t happen again.”

Katherine deemed this kind of promise worth no trust at all. It didn’t make sense for her.

She pushed Marshall away, “Well, action speaks louder than words.”

When she finished showering, Frances arrived with food.

Actually, Katherine wasn’t hungry for food. But as soon as she smelt it, her appetite was triggered.

Frances then said to Marshall, “Go downstairs to have your own food. I don’t want to bother myself bringing yours.”

Unspoken, Marshall watched Katherine eating for a while. Then he turned around to go downstairs.

Frances followed over. Marshall turned to look at her, “Stay cautious at home. I just found a mini camera on the door. Someone had sneaked in, I suppose.”

“Someone had sneaked in?” Frances was stunned, “sneaked in my room?”

Marshall wasn’t sure about that, “He might probably reach the parlor. I hire some people to set some cameras in the house. Keep an eye on them in case someone fishy might sneaks in again. Stay alert from now on.”

Frances nodded, “Okay, I got it. I didn’t expect them to be so cunning enough to sneak in.”

Marshall then responded with silence.

After having food, Katherine went downstairs with a tray. Meanwhile, Marshall had left.

Frances was standing at the door while fixing her eyes on it, on the surface of which there decorated with sculpted reliefs with deep color. While the gap of those reliefs allowed enough space to fit in an unnoticeable camera.

She beckoned Katherine to walk over and pointed at the gap, “See? They even dare to plant a camera in. What were they thinking? Monitor our life?”

Katherine also had no idea what they were up for. She stood and watched, “You should stay alert. I can tell those people are quite crazy. Hard to predict how horrible their next move will be.”

Frances nodded, “Don’t worry. We are all here to protect you.”

Katherine smiled. Actually, she never worried about her own safety.

Perhaps it was out of a kind of unawareness.

She showed no fear because she hadn’t experienced something like that.

She walked around in the room and then walked to the yard.

She stretched herself, but unable to do some strenuous move.

While stretching, she looked around. She suddenly recalled that one of those pictures was taken in the yard.

Katherine then started to trace the direction where it was taken. The houses nearby were in a distance. She scanned them through and approximately confirmed the direction.

After a while, a car parked in the yard and some people got off from it.

Frances walked out from the house to look at them. Then there came an elder among them to tell her that Marshall hired them to set cameras.

Frances nodded and led them in.

As cameras were required both inside and outside the house, there came a team with a number of workers to handle this time-consuming job.

Katherine watched them enter with a lot of tools. Then she asked the elder man, “Is everyone here the employee of your company?”

That man paused and hurried to nod, “Yes, all of them.”

He added to explain that Marshall also knew about him. They were also in charge of the cameras set in Marshall’s company.

He told Katherine to rest assure as the after-sales service would be guaranteed.

But Katherine was concerned with something else. She looked at those in the team and asked, “They have all worked for a long time in your team? I mean all of them.”

Frances was surprised, “How? He should be working attentively.”

That was the point. As all of them were busy working, how did that man notice her gaze.

Katherine wrapped her own shoulders, “There’s something wrong with him.”

Frances sighed for her cautiousness, “You really stay alert. I didn’t even notice that I should ask such a question.”

Katherine smiled. She did consider a lot because of her life since she was a kid.

Marshall soon arrived. And this time he came with Peter.

The car stopped at the gate and soon they got off.

Marshall walked over to stand beside Katherine, “Are you okay?”

Katherine told him she was fine. Then she raised her jaw to point at that man, “That’s him. He looked quite slovenly at the beginning. But as he noticed I was watching, he behaves more attentively.”

Marshall looked over and found nothing wrong.

As he asked for cameras filming every corner in both floors, it took quite a lot of efforts to finish the job.

So with a lot of workers here, it looked a bit messy. If only simply scanning, no one could notice anything fishy.

Peter watched for a while and entered.

Actually, there was a designer in the team, whose duty was to schedule the work process to save time.

Though he had got the structural map and also the design draft of the house, the actual plan was still under adjustment.

Peter walked around the other workers. Then he walked over to the new man.

Actually, he looked normal while he was checking those tools and equipment laid out on the ground.

Peter smiled to ask, “Sir, how long will it take to finish the whole thing? Do you have an estimated time of consumption?”
