CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 166 Give You Another Chance

The car slowly drove to the hotel where the party would be held.

It was a fancy hotel with baskets of flowers in the front door and car carpet leading to the main entrance.

The scene was very close to stars walk down the red carpet except media shots and flash lights.

Gradually, the car stopped in front of the red carpet and the drive got off to open the door.

Katherine held Marshall’s arm and got in the hotel.

There were many people in it and now they were gathering together.

Katherine and Marshall’s presence made a small hit. Katherine didn’t know if this hit came from Marshall himself or the rumour he carried.

Anyway, many people turned around to look at them.

Katherine curled up the lip and showed a calm expression. Actually, her mind was also in peace.

It was simply an occasion where everyone brought their fanciest clothes and accessories for competition, way too far to be scared of.

Some men brought their female companions to greet Marshall. Katherine could only force a smile to them because she didn’t know any of them. She only had to smile without saying anything.

Marshall, on the other hand, was experienced in social activities and found it easy to handle those people.

One waiter brought a plate and Marshall took a glass of wine. Katherine thought for a while and took a bottle of champagne.

She used to finish a bottle of wine in the old house of the Grant family and she didn’t think it tasted good. Hence, she may want to try something new.

Marshall knew Katherine had a low tolerance and whispered to her halfway of the greeting, “Drink less.”

Katherine smiled and got close to him, replying, “Of course I know. Don’t think I will give you a chance to take advantage of.”

Both of them were a bit startled when Katherine finished her words. Perhaps they were reminded of what happened on that night.

Katherine compressed her lip and knew she had said the wrong words.

That was really a crazy night. She could feel unknown awkwardness even by thinking of it. Hence, she decided to remain silence until the emergent thing happen.

After greeting most of people in the hall, Marshall brought her to the backyard of the hotel.

It was a huge yard with several districts. All things a yard could equip, such as, rockery, artificial lake and so on. Because the hotel mainly ran party business, its decoration was world-classic.

Katherine’s feet were hurt because of the high heels. She wanted to have a rest, but at that point, someone came with a glass of wine.

She forced a smile and could only remain where she was. Actually, she could understand it was hard for Marshall to socialize. Her whole face almost went stiff.

The sponsor finally came after they talking with each other for a while and Marshall brought her there.

This party was sponsored by a charity to help education institution in remote villages. The aim of this party was to call on companies to donate money or necessities to schools in those areas. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Katherine and Marshall were standing among the crowd and Katherine lowered her voice and asked, “They call you guys here for donation?”

Marshall nodded and whispered, “Yeah, I have to attend lots of these parties every year.”

If a business man simply knew how to make money without doing kind things, he would easily get negative judgements and be criticized by the public. People like them had no way but to attend this kind of party.

Katherine nodded to express her understanding and replied, “It will be great if they can really help those schools, but I am afraid some of them will keep those money with all complex procedures.”

Marshall replied, “It is not so transparent. However, those charities only want fame and to let the public know. As for what those money will be used on, no one cares.”

Katherine bit her lip and listened the host saying how tough it was for children in remote villages to go to school.

The host projected on the stage to present the country roads and countless mountains children had to walk every day.

The classrooms were old and shabby with broken tables and cracked surfaces. The platforms were all made of dust. No matter how cruel a person was, he would be touched at this moment.

Katherine took a deep breath and didn’t want to watch the video. It made her remind of the village she lived in, which was similar with what the projection showed.

She turned to look at somewhere else and found Clara was not far away.
