Chapter 90 Marshall Said He Couldn’t Live Without Me

Mrs. Grant sat across from Katherine and looked up at her occasionally.

Naturally, her expression never gotten better.

She had been particularly fond of Clara for no reason.

The marriage between Marshall and Clara was only made possible because of her.

She was happy with Clara in every way.

However, she didn’t expect Katherine showed up when the marriage was about to happen.

That’s why she was full of disgust for Katherine, even before she met Katherine.

Back then, the old Mrs. Grant was dying, and he kept asking Khalid and Marshall to agree to the
marriage.

Although Mrs. Grant was somewhat overpowering, yet she was still filial.

In the end, she had no choice but to persuade Marshall to agree.

At first, Mrs. Grant looked at Katherine as a whole.

She found only one good quality after looking her up and down.

She was good-looking.

But just being beautiful looking didn’t do any good.

She didn’t like Katherine at all.

Katherine was not even looking at Mrs. Grant this time.



She just focused on eating and then put down her chopsticks.

She took a napkin and wiped her mouth, “Enjoy your meal, I’m going out first.”

Old Mrs. Grant looked at Katherine without saying anything.

It was disrespectful to the elders to put down their chopsticks and leave first when the elders were still
there, like this kind of action was not previously allowed in the Grant family.

Mrs. Grant hurriedly looked at Old Mrs. Grant.

She hoped that she would say something to put Katherine in her place.

However, Old Mrs. Grant only looked at Katherine and went back to eat.

Katherine swaggered out of the dining room.

She didn’t go back to her room either.

She went outside to wander around.

She had just finished eating, so she needed to walk it off.

Katherine stood in the open space in front of the main building and then went towards the backyard.

By this time, almost everyone was eating.

The large population of the Grant family made everyone here so complicated.

But everyone played their part, and they didn’t interact much if they couldn’t get along with each other.

Katherine slowly made her way to the back door of the courtyard.



She could get into the bamboo forest from here.

She had married into the Grant family for almost a year and hadn’t even visited this site.

She went over to have a look, and the back door was locked.

She looked around and saw a warehouse next to it. And the warehouse door was open.

Katherine went in to look around and saw a ladder.

She didn’t think twice and went to carry the ladder out.

The ladder stood against the wall, and she climbed up in a few seconds.

But she was dumbfounded as she climbed up the ladder.

The wall was a bit high, and there was no way she could jump in from the outside. She was afraid.

Katherine was discouraged, and when she was debating whether to climb over or just go back, she
heard someone speak, “Hey, what are you doing up there?”

Katherine was taken aback and turned around to look. She then saw a person stood under a tree not
far away.

Not sure how long had that person been standing over there. He was leaning against the tree trunk,
crossing his arms.

Katherine frowned, “Can’t you guess what I’m going to do with this stance?”

The man then walked over after a couple of seconds.

Katherine knew this man. He was the second young master of the Grant family, Lucas.



Lucas stared at Katherine for a long while, “You want to go to the bamboo forest?”

Katherine said, “Yeah. Do you have ways? The door is locked.”

Lucas smiled, “Yes.”

Katherine stopped dwelling on this and got down from the ladder.

She patted her trousers, “Alright then, let’s go.”

Lucas initially wanted to say that even if he could open the back door, why should he take Katherine
out.

However, he swallowed his words after looking at Katherine.

He nodded, “Let’s go then.”

Lucas did have the key to the back door.

He went over and quickly opened the back door.

Katherine probed and looked from the outside, feeling surprised, “So this is what it looks like behind
here.”

Lucas went straight out, “Come on. Didn’t you say that you wanted to come out and see what it is like
over here?”

Katherine wasn’t afraid of going out alone with a guy at night.

She just went after him.

It was dark but still visible.



There was a path paved with stones when going into the bamboo forest through here.

Katherine and Lucas slowly walked into the bamboo forest.

Lucas turned around to look at Katherine, “By the way, didn’t you divorced my brother?”

Katherine laughed and said bluntly, “Nope. Your brother said he couldn’t live without me.”
