Chapter 548 Some Things Match

When Katherine went back to the main building, Marshall happened to come down the stairs. He
looked refreshed and didn’t seem he had gone out last night.

Katherine waved at Marshall and asked him deliberately, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Marshall gave a smile. "Not well. I felt funny, but you wouldn’t help me get better."

Now Katherine lost the desire to continue this conversation, snorting, "What a nerve."

Old Mrs. Grant was already in the dining room. Hearing the two of them talking, she called at once,
"Come on! It’s time to have breakfast. You get up so early this morning, Katherine."

Katherine came over and sat down, saying, "Not early enough. When I was strolling in the backyard, I
saw Lucas leaving. He got up really early this morning."

Old Mrs. Grant, nevertheless, wasn’t surprised to learn that Lucas went out so early this morning at all,
saying, "Well, I heard that he has met a girl he likes recently, and they’ve been seeing each other these
days. He might have gone to have breakfast with her."

Old Mrs. Grant’s words surprised both Katherine and Marshall. Katherine asked at once, "Did they
meet on a blind date?"

Old Mrs. Grant pondered with a frown before shaking her head. "It doesn’t seem so."

Lucas didn’t like going on a blind date, so he couldn’t have met girls in that way.

Since that was not the case, Katherine thought for a moment and said, "Then he must have met that
girl himself. Seems that he’s serious this time."



Marshall shot a glance at Katherine across from her and chimed in, "Hope it’ll work this time, so that we
don’t have to worry about him."

Katherine chuckled, "When have you worried for him ever? You’ve been watching."

Marshall stared at Katherine for a moment and wanted to say something, but finally he didn’t say it.

After breakfast, Marshall went to work, but he didn’t drive straight to the company. Instead, he went to
the private bank first.

The private bank was located in a remote area filled with slums. Looking small and plain, it was tucked
away in a factory. At this point of time, no one should be working here.

Husky had told Marshall before that they usually opened in the afternoon.

Marshall pulled over and watched the factory for a while, whose gate was locked.

Some time ago, he had caught a few people working here. Some of them had revealed how they ran
the private bank under interrogation. Usually, they would think of a way to trap the borrowers and make
them unable to pay off the debt. The borrowers had no choice but to offer their property as collateral for
their loan. In fact, the amount of the loan wasn’t normally big. Compared to other loan sharks, they
were running a small business.

Probably because the private bank was strictly managed, these insiders had such a panic fear after
they disclosed their operating procedures. After interrogation, Marshall released some one them, and
they ran away in case the private bank went after them.

Marshall wondered what kind of shady business the private bank was running so that those insiders got
so terrified. He watched the factory for a while but found nothing, so he went back to the company.



Back to his office, Marshall started to read the information about the Henderson family’s business. A lot
of contents were covered, including many detailed ones.

Marshall went through them one by one. He crossed out the useless information while listing the rest
ones separately. It took him the whole morning to do so. Finally, he got an organized list, dizzy.

Peter went to have lunch and happened to walk by Marshall’s office. He went in after some
consideration. Seeing Marshall reading something with a frown, he came up close to him. However, the
moment he found that those papers were about the Henderson family’s business, he clicked his tongue
and said, "A lot of shit has happened to them. Look at this, and that. They were charged with tax
evasion. It’s true that they repaid it later, but if they weren’t exposed, I don’t think they’d have paid it
anyway. And look at this one. They palmed people off with faulty goods, and were exposed online. The
Henderson family’s business isn’t so aboveboard as we imagined."

Marshall nodded. "Usually a big family business like theirs plays many dirty tricks."

Peter went through those details and said, "I feel sorry for Jakub. He did very well in college, and his
tutors and classmates loved him. Who knew he would end up that way? The Henderson family must
have done a lot of terrible things."

Marshall was focusing on something in the papers. He showed it to Peter and said, "Look at the
personnel change here. In a few years, some of the old senior staff had retreated from the boardroom.
It’s rather odd. And also here, the Henderson family has also invested in some other projects, but
based on their earnings, it’s impossible for them to take out so much money."

Marshall didn’t expect the Henderson family to have been involved in such a diverse range of business
and invested in so many projects in private. However, they couldn’t have done it with the money they
had earned.



Peter hadn’t noticed it before. Now that Marshall pointed it out, he took a good look at it. He nodded,
surprised. "You’re right. Back when I got these information, I thought it was useless. Now I can see
what kind of shady business they’re running."

Marshall looked through the papers and took out his phone. He matched them against the contents in
the pictures Clara had taken. After that, he narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Some things match."

Peter looked at the contents in the picture but failed to figure it out. "What are those? Aren’t they
codes? They look like order details somehow. There isn’t even a word in the form."

Marshall put his phone away. "Let’s leave it there for now. Are you going to have lunch? Let’s eat
together."

Peter was surprised to hear that. "Aren’t you going back home? I thought you’d eat with Katherine."

Marshall let out a sigh. "Not today. I have some business to do."

Peter stared at Marshall and nodded. "Alright. Let’s go."

Old Mrs. Grant didn’t expect Marshall to eat out at noon, and neither did Katherine. But she could
understand it since Marshall should be busy. The family doctor came and checked on her, saying that
she was in good condition. Her underbelly wasn’t very large, but the baby’s heart beat could be heard.

It was the first time Katherine had ever heard a fetal heart beating. She got so excited that she
recorded it with her phone. Somehow, she felt sorry that Marshall wasn’t with her at the moment.
Marshall kept thinking about this baby, but he missed the opportunity of listening to the baby’s heart
beat for the first time.

After the check-up, Katherine went to bed to have a rest. Before long, her phone rang.

It was from Kyle.
