Nicolette Is Back.
“No.” Lauren smiled nonchalantly.
“It wasn’t you?” Kathleen was suspicious.
“Think about it, Kathleen. Dothe two of us share any grudges? Now you're no longer by Theodore's
side.The organization would be mine if I so much as move a finger and end him. Why would I even
want to cause youtrouble?” There was a tinge of amusement in Lauren's tone.
“If it wasn't you, then who was it? I think you're the only one in the organization who knows about Zion's
ancestry.” Kathleen lifted her eyebrow while wearing a frosty expression.
“I have no idea either. Oh, I forgot to tell you. There's a big-time nuisance among the people who
escorted Zion today. I wonder have you noticed anything?”
Big-time nuisance?
“Who is it?” asked Kathleen, frowning.
“I won't tell you. That's your business with the person. I'm just in charge of receiving the money, that's
all.” Lauren let out a sinister chuckle before hanging up on Kathleen.
Samuel queried, “Where are the people who came with Zion?” Kathleen rubbed her temples.
“I've asked them to go back. I didn't expect Theodore to send me a custom-made bomb.”
“Is it someone from the organization who holds a grudge against you?” he asked with a worried frown.
She let out a casual sneer as chilliness crept up her pretty face.
“I know who it is. No wonder I thought her gait was weird when she walked.” He asked in a frosty, gruffy
voice, “Who is it?”
She turned to look at him sharply, her eyes devoid of the usual gentleness.
“Nicolette Yoeger.” It's her? He was stunned.
“You still remember her, right?” asked Kathleen emotionlessly.
“I thought she could no longer stand?” Samuel was beyond confused. Though she was able to walk
with support from the robotic exoskeleton, the thing was too obvious for Kathleen to have missed it. If
even Kathleen didn't notice anything, that would mean Nicolette was able to stand without support from
any equipment. Are her legs cured? Kathleen chuckled coldly.
“Lauren is well-aware of her own specialty, after all.” Samuel gazed solemnly at her.
“Is Lauren capable of curing her?”
“Not entirely, of course. But according to Lauren's way of doing things, I have a rough grasp on what
method she used,” she uttered indifferently. He frowned and waited for her elaboration.
“Lauren excels at using parasitic worms. There is one kind of parasitic worm that has the ability to
control people's nerves. I bet Lauren must have done something to Nicolette's legs. That's why
Nicolette's gait looked weird today. She hates me, so she'd definitely try to exact her revenge on me.”
A cold gleam streaked past Kathleen's eyes as she spoke. I'm waiting for her. I might have lost my
memory, but I would never forget everything between Nicolette and me. A ferocious glow emerged in
Samuel's cold eyes as he swore to himself that he would end Nicolette with his own hands. In the
meantime, Yareli was happily shopping for clothes in the mall.Ever since Samuel agreed to marry her,
she had been in high spirits. She told Vanessa about the good news, and the latter promised to attend
their wedding.
Although she hadn't told Samuel about it yet, she planned to doll herself up and go to meet Samuel.
After choosing a pretty floral dress, she stepped into the fitting room and was about to try it on when
someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it? It's occupied,” she asked in annoyance. However, the person outside knocked again. She
opened the door and yelled impatiently, “What do you want?” The person standing outside flashed her
a malicious smile.
As the color on her face drained away, Yareli stuttered, “Y-You—”
Before she could even finish her sentence, the person took out a spray bottle and aimed it at her face,
knocking her out. As she collapsed on the floor, the person dragged her into the fitting room and dialed
a number.
“All done. You guys can come up here and bring her away. Remember, don't let anyone notice. I think
Kathleen has already noticed something, so avoid her at all costs.”
After that, she ended the call, her eyes glowing menacingly.
“I'm taking back everything that's rightfully mine!” When Samuel had just gotten into the car after
leaving Kathleen's place, he received Yareli's call. Her voice was soft as she spoke.
“It's me, Samuel. My mom has agreed with our marriage. She'll be there at the wedding.”
“You must've forgotten that I want to meet her before the wedding,” he replied coldly.
“How do we know you're not just trying to trick my mother into coming back?” said Yareli.
“Since you guys are so worried about that, then what's the point of our marriage? Tell her it's not
necessary to return. The marriage can be called off.” His tone was freezing cold.
After he ended the call, Yareli smiled devilishly and mumbled to herself, “Samuel, your attitude remains
the same after all these years. You gave all your gentleness and affection to Kathleen. So what's left for
me?”
No. I refuse to accept this! What's so good about Kathleen? Why does she deserve all the good
things? Look at me! My leg is crippled, and my face is destroyed! I've lost everything! I'm going to take
back everything that belongs to me. Including Samuel, the man who never spared me a glance despite
how much I love him! It was late at night when Yareli returned to the quiet residence. She was about to
head upstairs straight away without making any noise when the lights of the living room flicked open.
She was taken aback as she reflexively lifted her hand to cover her eyes from the sudden brightness.
An elegant figure stood on the second floor. She slowly put her hand down.
“What are you doing here, Kathleen?”
“Why can't I be here? Granny has decided to move in with us tomorrow.” Kathleen's tone was icy.
“What?” Yareli froze in shock.
“This is for the best. The Yoeger family is just using her, after all,” uttered Kathleen apathetically.
“What are you talking about?”
“Also, Yoeger Group will be divided tomorrow. You guys can keep the main part. As for the rest, Granny
will hand them over to me.” There was a solemn look in Kathleen's dark eyes.
“What's the meaning of this, Kathleen?” Yareli asked unhappily. The Yoeger family would be left with
almost nothing if they lost the part that Frances owned. Kathleen responded indifferently, ”Then you
should tell Vanessa that if it hadn't been for my granny back then, you guys would've already been
doomed. Now, Granny is old. She no longer wants to be part of this mess. Hence, this has to be done.”
Yareli clenched her fists. D*mn it! She didn't expect Kathleen to take such a drastic measure to deal
with this matter. Kathleen uttered meaningfully, “It's late, Yareli. You should sleep early. There are a lot
of things you need to deal with tomorrow. Oh, right. Congratulations on your marriage.”
With that, she turned to leave. Yareli's complexion was pale as she gritted her teeth, holding back the
urge to tear Kathleen apart. This woman always ruins everything for me!
