What Did You Do
Kathleen had never perceived herself as a compassionate person who would lend a hand to anyone
who needed help. At that moment,Rory came walking in.
“Dr.Johnson, I've done what you told me to.” She spoke softly.
“Good job.”
Kathleen paused and asked, “Can you do me anotherfavor, Rory?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Take a picture of Yareli in this unconscious state and share it on the internet.I want to trick someone
out of their hiding place,” said Kathleen indifferently.
“What do you mean?”
Rory was quite surprised to hear that. Kathleen narrowedher eyes.
”I want to lure Vanessa, of course.She's overseas, and I'm sure she has no idea what happened to
Yareli.She definitely knows how my mother was stolen back then, so I must capture her.Yareli will act
as bait.” Rory understood Kathleen’s intention.
“Don’t worry, Dr.Johnson.I'll post the photo on international platforms so she would see it.” Kathleen
nodded and touched her chin.
“Tell them to write the title like this, 'The former heiress of Yoeger Group, Yareli Yoeger, will be
sentenced to death for themurder of the wife and daughter of Macari Group's CEO.”‘
“Roger that.” Rory took her phone out and snapped a photo of Yareli before leaving the room.
Kathleen looked at Yareli emotionlessly and said, “It's surprising to know that Yareli, who had once
triumphed over Nicolette, would end up in this state because of Nicolette.”
“What is Nicolette planning to do?” asked Zion.
“She wants revenge.She thinks someone else had caused her miserable situation, and not herself,”
replied Kathleen, her voice devoid of emotion.
Zion nodded wordlessly. “Okay, let's go.Nothing else to see here.”
“All right.”
The young boy followed her and exited the room.
After that, he said to her, “Kathleen, I’ll return to my room first.”
“Go ahead.I'll send someone to inform you when it's meal time.”
“Okay.” After Zion left, Kathleen turned to leave, too.
Meanwhile, Vanessa was on vacation overseas. She wasn’t worried, as she had been in contact with
Yareli for the past few days. However, she could no longer remain calm when she saw the news on the
internet a few minutes ago. She tried calling her daughter, but to her dismay, the latter's phone was
switched off.
Is all of this real? Is Yareli really in trouble? But I've told her not to act recklessly so that Kathleen and
the others won't be able to get the goods on her.
Why did she kill Kathleen and her daughter? Samuel would never let her off the hook! Vanessa was
beside herself with worry when she still couldn’t get intouch with Yareli. After moments of pondering,
she called Zachary. Fortunately, the line went through, and Zachary's booming voice sounded from the
other end of the line.
“Hello?”
“Zachary, it’s Vanessa.What is going on? What happened to Yareli?” asked Vanessa in a low voice.
“You! The audacity of you to ask me this question!Because of the two of you, I can't even leave my
house! People are guarding me every day and forbidding me to head outside.They're even
investigating me!” Vanessa froze when she heard that. Looks like everything on the news is true.
“What are you talking about? I’ve never asked Yareli to do something like that!” she exclaimed
anxiously. Zachary scoffed disdainfully.
“She came to me and asked me to team up with her.Guess what? She even recorded the
conversation.Now that she's captured, the police found the voice recorder on her, and they think I’m
her accomplice.Are you're still saying she didn't do anything?”
“Recording?”
“Vanessa Yoeger, I'm telling you, you better come back right now and deal with all this mess.Or else, I'll
expose your transaction with the Hoover family and make your life a living hell.I'm going to drag you
down with me!” threatened Zachary angrily.
After that, he ended the call. Vanessa frowned. How did things turn out like this? No! I can’t just sit here
and do nothing.I have to return and look into the matter myself. With that thought in mind, she took her
phone out.
“Book me a flight to Jadeborough right now.Hurry!” She knew that if she didn't return as soon as
possible, the Yoeger family would be doomed. However, at the same time, she was aware that if she
returned without making any preparations, there was no way she could defeat Kathleen and the others.
Moreover, she had a lot of questions. Thus, she made another arrangement.
“Prepare a car for me first.I need to go and meet Lauren.”
After hanging up on Kathleen, Lauren felt uneasy as well. Nicolette is such a nuisance!How could she
implant a parasitic worm in Yareli's body? As she was unable to hold back her anger, she called
Nicolette right away.
“Are you crazy, Nicolette? I've told you not to implant a parasitic worm in someone who already has a
parasitic worm in their body! Why won't you listen to me?” screamed Lauren into the phone as soon as
the call connected.
Nicolette replied apathetically, “Are you talking about Yareli? Theodore has already gone down, so
what's the point of hiding this any longer? You should just tell everyone that I'm your partner and that
the female lovebug is in my body.Won’t that solve everything?”
Lauren gritted her teeth.
“You! Don't you forget that Yareli has a mother! Vanessa has strong backing behind her, and she’s not
someone we should mess with.” Nicolette snorted.
“The person backing her won't necessarily be able to help her this time.”
“What did you say?” Lauren frowned.
“That person is now on my side.Vanessa would surely contact you in a while.I'm leaving the rest to you,
Lauren,” elucidated Nicolette.
“What do you mean?”
“Kill Vanessa.She knows too much.Just kill her, and the person backing her would help us.Don't
worry,” Nicolette said meaningfully. “Are you sure?” Lauren was skeptical.
“I've done so many things ever since I’ve gotten back.Why won't you believe me? Kill her and let the
Yoeger family be the scapegoat.They will be blamed for Kathleen’s death.After that, we won't have to
worry about anything.”
A cold and evil smile appeared on Nicolette’s face.
Lauren asked, “How about Zachary? He’syour father.”
Nicolette chuckled.
“He doesn't think of me as his daughter at all.I’ll never let him off.”
Her meaning was obvious.
Zachary had to die, too.
“Okay then.” Lauren understood that she and Nicolette were on the same boat, so they had to help
each other. Now that Theodorehad escaped back to the country, Nicolette was the only one who could
get rid of him.
Otherwise, Theodore would most definitely come looking for trouble once he was done recuperating
and regathering his strength. Lauren's job, on the other hand, was to get rid of Vanessa for Nicolette.
After ending the call, Lauren frowned and pondered for a while. Just then, the door was pushed open.
Vanessa stormed into the room, her voice filled with anxiety.
“Lauren, what is wrong with the parasitic worm that you implanted in Yareli? Why hasn’t Samuel fallen
in love with her yet after so many years?” Lauren turned to look at her.
“How would I know?” Vanessa widened her eyes in fury.
