Kathleen was taken aback upon hearing Samuel’s words.

You abandoned him, Samuel stated as he stared at her iclly, “He gave up on his body. Thus, I’ll be the

one controlling this body from now on.

Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “I don’t believe a single word you’re saying.”

“To be honest, I don’t have the will to live either. I’m just trying to keep him from turning into a cold,

lifeless husk of flesh.” Samuel then placed the tray down, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into his

shoulder without hesitation

Kathleen widened her eyes at the sight.

With the color slowly draining from his face, Samuel said. “See? I don’t care.”

Damn him!

“Tell me then, what can I do?” Kathleen asked, her brows knitted together.

“There’s nothing you can do.” Samuel replied apathetically. “He won’t show up anymore. This body will

now be controlled solely by me.”

“I don’t believe you!” Kathleen shouted, her face flushed with emotion.

She set the cup down and locked her gaze on Samuel’s ebony eyes “Samuel, can you hear me? I’m

Kathleen. Come out this instant. You’d better come out right now!”

However, Samuel responded with a mocking glint in his eyes, “It’s useless. He’s in a state of deep

slumber now and wont be waking up any time soon”

Kathleen’s hands were visibly trembling at the information she had just received.

But Samuel paid her no mind. “Well, Ms. Johnson, you’d still be free now if you weren’t such a

busybody.”

Kathleen could only purse her pale lips at that.

Samuel took the cup and handed it to her. “Drink it.”

Kathleen ignored the cup and instead stared straight at him. “You must have a goal, right?”

*A goal? Samuel let out a mirthless laugh at that “I don’t have any goals. I just want to live however I

want to For example, I’ll hold you captive or torture Nicolette whenever I want. Simple.”

Kathleen took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down.

I can’t be too anxious. I should observe the situation fro now. Samuel could be faking it

However, deep down, Kathleen was sure that Samuel wag not faking it.

The person before her was, indeed, Samuel

But he was the other Samuel.

“Drink it, Samuel ordered monotonously. “You’re not on my list.”

Kathleen scowled, “What list?”

“What I meant was you’re not my type.” Samuel replied with a half-smile

The scowl on Kathleen’s face deepened as she exclaimed, “I’ll kill you if you use Samuel’s body to do

anything bad

“Kill me?” Samuel questioned with a cold chuckle. “Are you sure? He’ll never be able to come back if

you kill me.”

Kathleen could only bite her lip in frustration after hearing his words.

“So, how is it? Are you still planning to kill me?” Samuel asked as he drew closer to her.

Kathleen turned her head around and drank the contents of the cup.

The drink was a concoction of various iron-replenishing supplements

However, it tasted awful with all of the supplements mixed together

Smirking at Kathleen’s disgusted expression, Samuel muttered, “Open your mouth.”

Kathleen kept her mouth shut.

As a result, Samuel tugged her hand over and pressed a piece of candy into her palm before turning

and walking away

“Where is Nicolette?” Kathleen questioned in a cold tone as he was about to go.

Samuel pointed at the floor. “She’s in the basement.”

“I want to see her.” Kathleen stated with a frown etched on her face

“Your scope of activity is within this castle. You can go to the kitchen if you’re hungry Other than that,

you can find me if you need anything else,” Samuel informed before turning around and leaving

A deep scowl settled on Kathleen’s face.

He’s so confident that I wont be able to escape

She forced her frustrated thoughts from her mind and decided to look for Nicolette in the basement

Since the current Samuel broke Nicolette’s legs, Kathleen reckoned the woman ought to know a thing

or two about his situation

The basement was dark and humid, and it even had a drain that led to the sea

In fact, it could easily pass as a water cell.

Samuel had locked Nicolette in this makeshift water cell’

Kathleen could not get into the water, even if she wanted to

Nicolette was barely alive as she peeled her eyes open to beg Kathleen, “Please, save me.”

Kathleen lowered herself down and stared at her. “Do you think I’ll do that?”

don’t want to die here,” Nicolette choked out bitterly. “I can’t die here.”

“Do you love Samuel, Nicolette?” Kathleen asked with absolute seriousness

Nicotette nodded in response

*Then why did you lie to him?” Kathleen asked, bewildered.

“Would he fall in love with me had I not lied to him? Nicolette sneered. “What’s the use If I’m the only

one who loves him? Would he give me his all if I loved him? Of course not. That’s why I have to make

him fall for

Kathleen grimaced. “There’s obviously something wrong with you.”

Nicolette laughed eerily. “Humans are selfish, Kathleen. Can you really blame me for it? I only did it for

my benefit.”

*Forcefully taking my blood and even killing my children +you’re telling me these are justified?”

Kathleen was infuriated. You’re telling me it was entirely okay for you to ask that doctor to send me to

the morgue?

Nicolette remained silent.

Kathleen was furious. ” was the one who saved Samuel. Yet, you claimed that you did so. I think that

what you’re experiencing now is karma!”

“It’s not like you guys would dare to kill me.” Nicolette narrowed her eyes as she continued.

“Everyone’s aware that Samuel was the one who took me away. On top of that everyone knows about

the feud between us Naturally, they’ll connect the dots and think that Samuel was the one who

murdered me if I died.”

Kathleen smirked. “How about we get rid of your body after killing you? How does that sound to you,

Nicolette?”

Nicolette froze

“Samuel won’t be pinned as the murderer without a bodyl Kathleen stated as she stared at her

indifferently “Do you actually think you have the right to pick a fight with me?”

Nicolette was fuming at that point “I wouldn’t have ended up like this if it weren’t for you! I would have

been Mrs. Macari! I would have had all the glory and wealth!”

Kathleen merely regarded her with a poker face. “How long do you think you’d last as Mrs. Macari with

how you used others to get to that spot?”

Nicolette chuckled coldly. “Who are you to say that? Aren’t you the same? Didn’t Old Mrs Macari

contribute to your marriage with Samuel?”

“Yes. That’s why I divorced him,” Kathleen replied.

Nicolette chewed on her lip.

“I believe that there’s something you don’t know, Nicolette, Kathleen said. “Do you know why the

Yoegers suddenly acknowledged your identity as their daughter?

Nicolette stared at Kathleen sharply.

Judging from her expression, it was obvious she had no idea.

“Zachary needed a kidney transplant, and yours matches his,” Kathleen informed, her pretty face void

of emotions

Nicolette was taken aback by the information

“Did you think the Yoeger family had truly accepted you as one of them?” Kathleen mocked.

However, she would never tell Nicolette that Zachary did not actually have to undergo a kidney

transplant.

Nicolette’s face contorted into an ugly expression as she roared, “You’re lying to me!”

“Why would I lie to you? How would it benefit me to lie to you at a time like this?” Kathleen retorted.

Nicolette was at a loss for words

“I only have one question for you, Nicolette. Did you know about Samuel’s condition?” Kathleen

questioned

coldly

Nicolette’s eyes darkened. Yeah. I knew.”

Kathleen frowned. When did you know?”

“Help me escape if you want my answer!” Nicolette exclaimed through gritted teeth.

However, Kathleen merely gave her a cold stare before turning to leave.

“Wait!” Nicolette cried out. She had not anticipated Kathleen to be as cruel and obstinate as she was

“Don’t think too highly of yourself, Nicolette. You have no right to bargain with me, Kathleen stated icily

Nicolette sucked in a deep breath. “After you left, he took me hostage and broke my legs without

hesitation That was when I found out that Samuel had multiple personality disorder*

Kathleen furrowed her brows at Nicolette’s response *Why didn’t you say anything after getting

rescued?”

“I- I was too terrified to do so,” Nicolette explained as she trembled in fear. “You’ve seen it too.

Samuel’s other personality is terrifying.”
