Chapter 414 Is It Him
Kathleen didn’t know either, but she cared about it very much in her heart.
Samuel actually agreed to dance with another woman?
But didn’t Tyson say that Samuel was very well-behaved in recent years?
Tyson came over. “Mr. Macari! There is an emergency call for you.”
Yadiel nodded. “Excuse me.”
Kathleen also prepared to leave with him.
Haylee said softly, “Ms. Yoeger, my mother wants to see you.”
Mother?
Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “Old Mrs. Yackley wants to see me?”
“Please come with me.” Haylee took her upstairs.
Kathleen knew that Old Mrs. Yackley’s surname was Hoover.
She was Trevor’s biological younger sister, and her name was Tessa Hoover.
Kathleen didn’t know why Tessa asked Yareli to go upstairs.
So, she followed Haylee upstairs with curiosity.
Haylee then took her to a room.
Tessa was sitting on a chair, wearing a purple gown, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her face looked kind, but her eyes were unusually sharp.
Kathleen was calm in her heart and walked over without being arrogant.
“Old Mrs. Yackley,” said Kathleen.
Tessa sized her up. “You’re here.”
Kathleen nodded.
“You are very capable. After creating such a huge incident, Samuel can still forgive you. It’s incredible.” Tessa’s eyes were filled with deep suspicion.
Kathleen smiled lightly. “Because I’m not the one who murdered his wife and daughter.”
Tessa slightly furrowed her brows. “Oh? Then who did?”
“Nicolette Yoeger,” answered Kathleen.
There was no surprise on Tessa’s old face.
Kathleen thought to herself, It seems that Tessa knows.
That’s why she isn’t shocked at all.
Very few people know the truth.
There are not even a lot of people in the Macari family who know.
But, Tessa actually knows.
She and Nicolette are likely working together.
After all, her surname is Hoover!
“Is Nicolette able to do that?” Tessa asked quietly.
Kathleen didn’t make it clear. “I don’t know that. In short, Samuel believes in me.”
Tessa knitted her brows wordlessly, while Kathleen looked at her calmly.
After a while, Tessa said slowly, “You are more mature than before.”
Kathleen explained, “I think anyone who has experienced something like me will become silent. After all, I was almost regarded as a murderer.”
Tessa paused and said nothing.
“Can I go now?” Kathleen asked with a half-smile.
Tessa responded with a nod.
Kathleen turned around.
Suddenly, Tessa asked, “Will you tell Samuel about it?”
Kathleen paused. It seemed that something really happened between them.
Kathleen smiled meaningfully. “Then I want to see who wants to harm me. After all, I still want to live well.”
With that said, she turned away to leave.
A dark gleam flashed across Tessa’s face.
Haylee looked at Tessa and said, “Mom, I sense that Yareli has become mysterious.”
“If you were harmed by someone, it would be the same for you.” Tessa’s expression was icy cold.
Haylee was curious. “Then who are you helping, Mom? Is it Yareli or Nicolette?”
Tessa sighed. “I’ll help the more capable one! If Yareli can really marry Samuel, I will definitely be willing to cooperate with her. She’s the rich daughter of the Yoeger family. Compared to an illegitimate child, Yareli is a little more pleasing to the eye.”
“But Mom, Josephine, she…” Haylee hesitated.
Tessa said softly, “Don’t worry. Samuel doesn’t like her, nor is he tempted by her. I have other arrangements for her.”
“But it seems like Josephine only wants Samuel.” Haylee snorted.
Tessa said calmly, “I don’t care. You’re not young too, so you should think about finding a partner.”
Haylee stayed silent.
Tessa said coldly, “I know that you also like Samuel. But he is definitely not good for you. It’s not that I don’t know how good he is, but given his love for Kathleen, it’s absolutely impossible to change that easily. I don’t want you and your sister to suffer.”
“I understand, Mom.” Haylee was still unwilling to accept that.
She was even a little older than Samuel.
In the past, in school, Haylee always spoke to him under the guise of Samuel’s mentor’s daughter and his senior.
However, Samuel didn’t even look at her at the present.
A long time ago, Stephen had suggested Samuel marry Haylee.
Despite that, Samuel flatly refused.
That would probably be when Samuel was about to marry Kathleen.
At that time, she also thought that Samuel must hate Kathleen very much.
After all, if it wasn’t for Kathleen, he would have been with Nicolette.
However, after Samuel rejected Nicolette that day, Haylee suddenly realized that Samuel might not hate Kathleen.
Maybe he even liked Kathleen.
“Mom, I’m going downstairs.” Haylee left.
Tessa nodded.
Kathleen came out of Tessa’s room, and she was about to go downstairs.
“Yareli, how did you get Samuel to bring you here?” Josephine’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Kathleen smiled lightly and replied, “He did it voluntarily.”
Josephine was very agitated. “I don’t believe that! You must have done something to him!”
As she said that, Josephine grabbed Kathleen’s arm.
Kathleen happened to be standing on the stairs. She furrowed her brows and said, “Josephine, I’m warning you to let go. Otherwise, I’m going to cause a scene!”
Josephine said fiercely, “This is the Yackley residence. What can you do to me? I can murder you and make it look like an accident!”
Kathleen remained indifferent.
Has this woman lost her mind?
The more Josephine looked at Yareli, the angrier she became.
I am younger and prettier than her.
Why can’t Samuel see that?
If this woman isn’t here today, I will be able to dance with Samuel!
It’ll be fantastic if this woman’s gone.
Thinking about that, Josephine pushed Kathleen down hard.
Kathleen didn’t expect Josephine to attack.
She was caught off guard and fell backward.
Just when she thought that she was going to roll down the stairs, a warm embrace caught her. She could even make out the distinct scent of herbs.
Kathleen was dumbstruck.
She opened her eyes and looked at the man holding her.
Samuel?
He’s awake?
Samuel hugged her and let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at Josephine with cold and sharp eyes. “Are you tired of living?”
“No, I didn’t mean to.” Josephine didn’t expect Samuel to come upstairs.
Kathleen thought of Samuel’s wrist and said, “Your wrist…”
Samuel said in a low voice, “I’m fine. You guys are ridiculous.”
Kathleen stuck her tongue out.
Samuel looked at Josephine coldly. “Next time, I won’t let you go that easily!”
After he said that, he carried Kathleen downstairs.
Stephen heard the butler say that Samuel went upstairs, so he followed.
Samuel’s eyes were cold and sharp. “Mr. Yackley, this is the last time I’ll visit your house. If anything happens to the Yackley family in the future, don’t come to me!”
After he finished speaking, he took Kathleen and left.
Stephen was confused. He looked at Josephine and asked, “What did you do?”
Josephine tried her best to remain composed. “I didn’t do anything.”
There was no way that Josephine would admit that she wanted to murder Kathleen.
