Chapter 193 Give It A Try
Then, Kathleen heard an ear-piercing scream.
When she regained her footing, she noticed that Jennifer was pinned to the ground by two bodyguards.
“Let go of me!” Jennifer screamed while struggling to free herself, “Let me kill this b*tch! She took everything from me. Everything that belongs to me!”
Samuel let go of Kathleen. His breathing had never been so chaotic before.
She looked at him, slightly dazed. “You’re back?”
“Yeah.” Samuel nodded. His handsome face was emotionless. “Are you hurt?”
Kathleen shook her head.
In actuality, she could’ve avoided it herself.
If Samuel hadn’t moved swiftly, she would’ve already dodged it.
She just didn’t expect him to appear.
“Didn’t you say that you’ll be back tomorrow?” Kathleen was puzzled.
Samuel didn’t respond but looked at Tyson. “Take this woman away and interrogate her thoroughly.”
“Understood!” Tyson replied with a nod.
“Wait,” Kathleen abruptly said.
Hearing that, Samuel frowned deeply.
Kathleen approached Jennifer, lifted her hand, and slapped the latter hard on the face, angering Jennifer.
However, Kathleen merely looked at her coldly. “Snap out of it! I’ve never taken everything away from you. If that’s possible, it only shows that you aren’t competent enough. Also, my winning Best Actress had nothing to do with you. You’re just poisoned by jealousy. I’m not taking the blame for that!”
Jennifer glared at Kathleen viciously, looking extremely resentful.
“Jennifer, you should be glad that Timothy wasn’t poisoned,” Kathleen stated coldly.
“What?” Jennifer was utterly shocked.
“He was merely helping me to lure you out.” Kathleen’s tone was soft yet cold. “If the person that was poisoned was me, you wouldn’t go to my lounge for sure, for fear of being implicated. When you heard that Timothy was poisoned and found out that you had poisoned the wrong person, you panicked. You wanted to check whether he ate the poisoned fruit on the platter, so you went to his lounge. Am I right?”
Jennifer bit down on her lip.
“Before Timothy pretended to be poisoned, he had hidden a phone in his lounge that had captured evidence of what you did after entering.” Kathleen’s eyes darkened as she continued, “Why don’t we show it to everyone and see if you truly went to help him clean up?”
At that moment, Timothy walked out with the phone.
Upon seeing him looking handsome and well, Jennifer heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’re fine?” she murmured.
Timothy raised the phone as he remarked, “You’ve gone too far.”
“I’m glad that you’re okay. If something had happened to you, I would never forgive myself.” Jennifer sniffled. “I love you, Timothy. Do you know that?”
“I can’t bring myself to be happy to be loved by a wicked woman like you,” he uttered coldly.
Hearing that, she shrieked at the top of her lungs, “I’m wicked? I was forced to do this! By Kathleen!”
“No one forced you.” Timothy said in an icy tone, “You weren’t chosen as the female lead back then, but it wasn’t because you weren’t as good as Kathleen. You were also the worst among the rest.”
You were also the worst among the rest!
Jennifer stared at him in disbelief.
“You don’t have to look at me like that. I also participated in the voting session for the freshman production that year, so I know what happened.” Timothy continued coldly, “Even if you think that Kathleen was chosen because of her looks, I can only say that being born with good genes is a form of skill. Why don’t you try again in your next life?”
Jennifer was stunned speechless.
“Take her away,” Samuel ordered coldly.
The two bodyguards took her away.
It looked like they were taking her to the police station.
Timothy turned to look at Kathleen and Samuel, especially the latter.
“You’re holding onto her quite tightly, I see,” he teased, rendering Kathleen speechless.
Samuel slowly let go of her and said indifferently, “I promised my grandma that I would protect her.”
However, Timothy merely looked at him in disbelief.
Do you think no one can tell what you’re thinking exactly? Stop pretending!
“Thank you, Samuel,” Kathleen said. “But don’t do this next time. I can avoid it by myself.”
Samuel’s handsome and elegant face instantly darkened.
It’s all Timothy’s fault!
“By the way, did Ms. Schott come back with you?” Kathleen asked excitedly.
“I was worried about you, so I came back early. She’ll be back tomorrow,” he replied flatly.
She nodded. “Oh, I see.”
“Let’s go.” Samuel pulled her and walked away.
She wanted to break free from his grasp but found that he was holding her tightly.
Upon stepping outside, Samuel shoved her straight into his Maybach.
“What are you trying to do? I want to go back in my car!” Kathleen yelled as she hit the car door.
However, he ignored her.
He went around the front of the car, got into the car, and drove off.
“What are you doing?” she huffed.
“Do you know how worried I was about you for the past two days?” Samuel questioned coldly.
“I don’t need you to worry about me. I’m fine!” Kathleen blurted out angrily, “I’ve already gotten used to this. Don’t cross the line, Samuel!”
I crossed the line? I’m sure she doesn’t know that I’ve been worried for days. I’ve been in a constantly unsettled state ever since she fell out of her wire. The minute I left Jadeborough, something happened to her. I’m truly afraid now. I can still endure a momentary separation, but what if we were to be separated forever? Where will I go to find her? She certainly won’t understand anything!
However, now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he realized that he had no right to treat her that way.
When she complained to him about leaving her on the road in the middle of the night to meet Nicolette, he truly regretted his actions back then and even felt fearful every time he thought about it.
In my 27 years of life, there aren’t many things that can make me afraid, but every single one of them is related to her.
Samuel clenched his jaw, looking extremely stern.
No matter how angry Kathleen was, she knew that she shouldn’t provoke him at this time.
It was this reason she said that she was afraid of no one but Samuel, for she knew better than anyone what kind of person he was.
A long while later, they arrived at the entrance of the Johnson residence.
Samuel glanced at Kathleen.
His breathing became heavier as he said, “Don’t take such risks in the future. Let others handle the matters. How can I rest assured and let you go when you’re like this?”
Kathleen paused for a moment before muttering, “Samuel, you don’t have to worry so much about me in the future. In all honesty, I’ve been considering a matter for the past few days.”
“What matter?” he asked lowly.
“Caleb’s trying to woo me.” She said indifferently, “I’ve given it a serious thought and think that we can give it a try.”
Samuel was at a loss for words.
Her words came like a bolt from the blue for him.
Despite that, he didn’t show any signs of being shocked, knowing that once Kathleen had found someone she liked, he had no choice but to let her go.
However, he didn’t anticipate that it would happen so soon and for that person to be Caleb.
“Why him?” Samuel asked darkly.
How is he better than me?
