Chapter 454 Men are Merciless Creatures

Because they were related with Dr Hollis, the doctor gave Katherine a thorough check.

He introduced they all the knowledge about the baby’s growth.

Katherine couldn’t see the screen and could only hear his speech.

Marshall went to grab Katherine’s hand and found she was wearing a diamond ring. However, it didn’t
match her outfit today. Marshall was still happy that Katherine was willing to wear the ring.

After the examination, Marshall supported Katherine out the room.

It took a while for the machine to print.

Marshall, Katherine and Frances went to sit on the bench to wait.

Frances asked Marshall how was the test. Actually, there was no exact result. The aim of this test was
to find how was the baby’s growth. Katherine was still in the early stage of pregnancy and could only
have some simple results about the baby’s growth.

Frances sighed and remarked, “I am more nervous than the time when I was carrying with you.”

Katherine grabbed Frances’ hand and comforted, “Don’t be nervous. I don’t think there is anything
serious.”

Frances reminded of what happened just now and remarked, “I cannot calm down. I was frightened by
what happened just know. If you really fall down, the consequence will be terrible.”

Marshall also reminded Cara’s words.

Cara was innocent and told him she didn’t know anything. She was only irritated by Katherine’s terrible
words.



Marshall didn’t care whether Katherine had said mean words or not. However, he understood
Katherine’s harsh words were hard to bear.

He only cared if Clara really didn’t know Katherine was pregnant.

Clara compressed her lips. She didn’t confess at first and then remained silence.

Marshall was not dumb. He could tell Clara was lying.

He then showed a cold attitude and reminded Clara to behave herself.

However, Clara cried when hearing his words. Marshall was headache when reminding of her tears,
which was really disturbing.

Katherine took out her phone and played the recording when they were waiting for the result.

Actually, it was not a clear recording. The hospital was a noisy place and the phone couldn’t record
most of the word when being put in the pocket.

In the end, Clara clearly lowered her voice when she was pushing Katherine and her voice could not be
found in the recording.

Katherine could expect it. She only waited to frighten Clara with this recording.

Marshall looked at her and remarked, “You should avoid straight conflict with Clara when you meet her
in the future. I am afraid she will really do something terrible.”

Katherine nodded and replied, “I know. I am not stupid and know I have to retreat if thing goes wrong.”

Frances sighed and remarked, “Why would Clara become such a terrible person? I always thought she
was just being regretful for not marrying you. Now it seems she’s really a stubborn person.”



Katherine didn’t say anything. She knew it was women’s character to be stubborn, so did Clara. Most
women would miss the past relations with men and it was hard for them to recover from the past
injuries in those relations.

After all, she had already divorced with Marshall, which provided hope with Clara that she could win
Marshall’s heart again. It was natural that she refused to give up.

They waited for a while outside. Marshall went to fetch the result paper and they went home together.

On their way home, Marshall called his subordinate to find whether Clara had brought people with her
or arranged some people to guard when she came out.

Like what Katherine remarked, she may not be there by herself.

Marshall remembered Clara drove away after they finished talking.

He couldn’t tell clearly if Clara came here today to find Katherine trouble. Or was she upset because
their argument and quitted her appointment out of anger?

No matter what the consequence was. He thought it was necessary to investigate Clara.

Katherine heard Marshall’s call.

Her lips curled up in happiness when finding Marshall took her words seriously, which was a huge
progress compared with the old time.

After driving Katherine home, Marshall went to the company because of work. He checked the result
report again before he left and then folded it carefully.

Darcie already prepared food for Katherine and waited in the room. Katherine already got hungry for
not having breakfast in the morning. She hurriedly went to the kitchen after coming back.



Marshall also didn’t eat anything in the morning. However, he had run out of time and could only eat in
the company.

He drove away from home to the company and received Clara’s message in the halfway.

There was not any informative message in her text. She was asking him did he really regard her as a
vicious person?

Marshall glanced at her message and threw the phone on the passenger’s seat.

He didn’t know which answer Clara wanted to see by sending this text.

However, she was already a vicious woman in his heart after she had pushed Katherine.

When Marshall arrived at the company and got off the elevator, Peter came towards him hurriedly.

He reported that the Henderson family had a few ordered with a great amount, which had lots of
requirements.

In the past times, Peter was the one who would deal with orders. However, because there was a great
deal for this order, the buyer required Marshall to handle.

Actually, there was not an exact requirement for who would be the one to deal with the order because
Marshall and Clara used to handle more detailed things directly. However, because of their relation
afterwards, most of the times, Clara would give her assistant the commission. While her assistant
already got used to ask Marshall’s assistant for help and handle with details of orders.

Now Clara was the one to be in charge, hinting that those orders were really important. Therefore, it
was also necessary for Marshall to be in charge in person.



However, after what happened today, Marshall wouldn’t have a pleasant business by cooperating with
the Henderson family.

Marshall agreed and remarked, “Well, I get it. Bring their purchase orders to me. I have to verify with
people in the warehouse about whether they are consistent with samples. Also, have a check about the
overall numbers. Don’t make mistake.”

Peter nodded yes. He sent the purchase orders to Marshall first and then went to do his job.

Clara called when Marshall had finished looking through half of the purchase orders.

He didn’t hesitate but picked up the phone directly.

Without waiting for Clara to speak, he noted, “I am still looking through purchase orders you just sent. I
will call you if I can’t understand things clearly.”

His words meant their call would only be about business matters. Therefore, Clara’s planned
discussion about their private matters suddenly got hard to tell.

She waited for a long time and remarked, “I also want to discuss this with you. There are lots of details
in those orders. Maybe it will be complicated to handle with. You can call me at any time if you get
confused. I am in charge of this supplies purchasing now.”

Marshall agreed with her idea. Then their call went to a dead silence.

Clara didn’t hang up the phone immediately. She held the phone beside her ear for a long time and
finally spoke, “Marshall, actually, do you think there is…”

Before she could finish her words, Marshall already hanged up the phone.



Clara was startled and asked hello to make sure. It was true that Marshall already hanged up the
phone.

A long time later, Clara finally smiled at herself sarcastically.

She had never found this man would be so ruthless.
