Chapter 172 She Depends on her Family, while You Are Self-independent

Marshall went over and took a seat. "Well, what are you talking about?"

Both Katherine and Peter were stunned, but Katherine smiled first. "We’re talking about the dinner
party."

Now that she mentioned it, somehow, Marshall remembered the fact that he had hung Katherine out to
dry and felt a little embarrassed.

When he found Katherine under the tree, she was leaning back on the bench, her head throwing back,
her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

However, she looked a little pitiful at the same time.

She even smiled at him the moment she opened her eyes and saw him.

It was a helpless smile, but also a relieved one.

In a word, that smile got on his nerves.

Marshall asked, "What exactly about the dinner party?"

Peter threw a look at Katherine.

Katherine replied immediately, "What else could it be? We’re talking about the video of the village
school. Many people claimed that they felt terrible at that time, but who knows whether they really felt
terrible or they were just putting on a show."

Marshall picked up the chopsticks. "I think they did feel terrible, but just at that moment. When the
video ended, they forgot the whole thing."

Katherine asked Peter to take a seat.



She put the food she liked in front of herself and asked in passing. "What were you doing before we
came back? You were gone for a long time."

Marshall replied in a flat voice. "The donation session would begin a while later. Although we came out
of the banquet hall, we still had to open the wallet, so I went to the organizer to tell him about the
number I would donate."

Now Katherine realized what had been going on.

If someone came to such a charity event and left halfway without giving money, people would gossip
about him.

Katherine breathed a sigh. "Why do I feel like you’re forced to open your wallet?"

While pretending to be most willing.

Marshall gave a smile. "It’s something like that."

Peter was not hungry, but he still put some food into his mouth to join in the fun.

Then he darted a glance at Marshall and asked in a low voice, "Were the Henderson family there? Any
decent business must have been invited."

Katherine answered Peter while Marshal remained silent, "Yes, they were there. Miss Henderson went
with elder Mr. Henderson."

Peter gave a snort and said, his voice heavy with sarcasm, "Miss Henderson has been showing up
everywhere lately. Didn’t she use to be a lady? What, now she wants to be a businesswoman?"

Katherine clicked her tongue. "She comes from money. As long as her family offers help, she can
totally be a successful businesswoman."



As she said that, Katherine laughed at herself. "Look at me. I can never be a successful
businesswoman. I have nothing to back me up, and I’ll give the game away in two seconds."

Peter put his hand on Katherine’s shoulder. "I don’t think so. I think you’re amazing. Look, when you
open up your store, you’ll be on the track of being a businesswoman, right? And maybe you’ll be more
successful than her. She depends on her family, while you yourself."

Katherine roared with laughter. "Hand on heart, and I dare you to say that again. I depend on you and
Marshall, don’t I?"

Peter froze, and then also began to laugh, explaining, "You can ignore the two of us. Just take us two
as the stepping stones on your way to success. We don’t matter."

Katherine laughed too.

The two were having a pleasant conversation, while Marshall sat aside with a cool face.

He didn’t find the conversation funny, or anything amusing.

This situation was a little confusing to him.

Had these two always been on such good terms?

Marshall hadn’t noticed it before.

Back when they were in Asela Island, he was a little surprised to see Peter and Katherine know each
other so well.

But at that time, he disliked Katherine, so he didn’t take it to heart.

But now, it seemed that these two had developed a close friendship without his noticing it.
