Chapter 490 I’ve Made Everything Clear

Marshall turned to Clara and was indifferent.

Clara then let out a light smiled, “What a stupid question. I’m asking for humiliations.”

She looked up and heaved a long breath, “Well, but I would have this foolish thought if I don’t ask you. I
would always imagine that maybe you have a shred of...”

“No.” Marshall answered directly.

What a blunt reply. His face didn’t even change.

Clara paused and gazed at Marshall.

Marshall continued, “I’ve never liked you. I didn’t have any other feelings for you even before Katherine
was in my life. I just think that your family background is great match with mine and would agree to
have that engagement. I have no feelings for you personally.”

Clara slowly opened her mouth and failed to say anything but okay.

Marshall looked at the passing traffic and added, “I was pretty sorry when I went to break off the
engagement, but it’s just that. I have never regretted or felt terrible for that decision.”

Lips pursed, Clara asked in a while, “You have no feelings for Katherine at first, but then you started
liking her after you got married, so I just thought that we might be the same if she didn’t show up.”

Marshall smiled and wasn’t exactly taunting her.

He replied, “If I stared having feelings for her just because we got married, we won’t ever get divorced.”

Katherine was as sweet as she can be to Marshall during their marriage, but he loathed her back then.



His love for her came after he lost her. How ironic.

Clara drooped her eyes and felt terrible, “It’s just that I always wondered what things would be without
Katherine.”

Marshall frowned and couldn’t really give her this answer because he had never thought about this,.

Then he turned to Clara, “I wouldn’t be able to give you the life you desired even if we got married. You
are not my type. Do you understand?”

Clara knew what Marshall was referring to.

He didn’t love her, so there won’t be any passion in their marriage even if they were together.

They would just lead a boring and bland life, but still, she wanted to give it a try.

Clara nodded slowly in a minute and said, “Sure, I got you and know what I should do in the future.”

They didn’t return to the private room and Katherine and Frances just came out in a while.

They didn’t care a bit what they were talking about outside and were still joking with each other.

Katherine just asked Marshall, “Can we go now?”

Clara turned around, wiped her eyes and didn’t look at Katherine.

Marshall’s face grew affectionate and held Katherine’s hand, “Yeah. Let’s go.”

Katherine then went downstairs with Marshall without paying attention to Clara.

Frances went to Clara’s side and paused and tapped on Clara’s shoulder after pondering for a while.
Then she just left.



Clara wiped all her tears away and looked at Marshall’s car.

Their car was driving away and she can see Katherine telling something to Marshall via the window.

Marshall remained calm, but Katherine was chuckling and seemed merry.

She really can’t figure out why would Marshall like Katherine.

She didn’t think that she was beneath Katherine in any aspects.

Though she chose to respect Marshall’s decision, she was still upset.

Clara waited for a while and her phone started ringing.

It was elder Mr. Henderson’s call and asked where was Clara.

Clara didn’t answer his question directly and just said she was going home after dinner.

Elder Mr. Henderson repeated, “Where are you? Aren’t you at the Japanese restaurant?”

Clara acted surprised, “What’s wrong?”

Elder Mr. Henderson went silent.

Clara then asked back, “Are you at the restaurant? Aren’t you supposed to be in the company? Are you
heading there to have dinner?”

Elder Mr. Henderson Let out a long breath, “No, I’m just asking.”

Eyes deepened, Clara didn’t change her tone, “Right, what happened? Why would you want to know
where I am?”

Elder Mr. Henderson didn’t know what to say and just remained silent.



Clara was in no hurry and just waited.

Elder Mr. Henderson Then just sighed in a long time, “Forget it. Just go home.”

Clara was pretty sweet, “Okay.”

Her face went numb as soon as she hung up the phone.

Sitting in the car, Frances knitted her eyebrows and can’t help asking, “Do you think that Katherine’s
water cup is really drugged today?”

Katherine smiled, “I suppose so, but I think it probably is just things like laxative. She isn’t stupid and
wouldn’t dare to poison me.”

After all, she would be the number one suspect.

Marshall agreed, “I think so. It probably is just a prank.”

Clara seemed to have thought everything clear today and wouldn’t try to cause a scene.

Frances then replied, “Great then.”

They the three just went back to the old mansion.

Khalid was taking a call in the garden when they arrived.

Katherine nudged Frances and said, “He is probably waiting for you. Hurry up.”

Then she stretched herself, “I’m having the food coma and want to go to bed.”

Marshall went to hug her and said, “Let’s go and have a rest.”



Frances mused for a while and remained motionless.

Khalid then noticed Frances in a moment.

Frances was a bit embarrassed and just forced a smile.

Khalid then just finished the call hurriedly.

He walked towards her, “I thought that you would be back late.”

Frances nodded, “Yeah, we had the dinner quickly. Katherine is tired, so we just hurried back.”

Khalid didn’t choose to enter the main building and just asked Frances if she wanted to talk a walk.

They actually had lived in this mansion for over thirty years and was familiar with every spot here.

They never wanted to stroll around here before, but now, their life had changed and the mood was
quite right, so Frances didn’t just want to go to the bed.

So she just nodded, “sure, I just had dinner and could use a walk.”

Then they went to the back yard and happed to have bumped into Lucas who was surprised to see
them and immediately greeted.

Lucas didn’t have any unusual expressions, but Frances was just awkward and her face instantly went
crimson red.

Frances mused for a while and remained motionless.
