All Too Late

Chapter 185

Charles’ lace clouded over.

Kathleen looked at him in silence.

*All right. I got it,” Charles relented.

Kathleen was overjoyed. “I’m going to bed. You should go home too.”

“Go home? Pfft. The accident was obviously directed at you,” Charles replied with a serious expression.

“Who else wants to kill me other than Vanessa and Nicolette?” Kathleen remarked coldly.

“There’s someone by the name of Jennifer Leigh in your film crew. Do you know her?” asked Charles.

Kathleen shook her head. “No, I don’t. What role is she playing?”

“It’s a minor role, but someone saw her tamper with your wire,” Charles replied in a deep voice.

Kathleen was shocked. “I’ve had no contact with her at all. Did you ask her about it?”

“No, I didn’t as I didn’t want to alert her. I’ve sent someone to keep an eye on her for a few days and see where things stand. We can only tell the others that it’s an accident for now.” Charles’ voice was cold.

“Okay. I got it.” Kathleen nodded. “Take it slow. The top priority now is to heal Old Mrs. Yoeger.”

“Your matter is just as important. If you act like how you did tonight again, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on you. Then, you won’t be able to go anywhere,” Charles warned solemnly.

Kathleen was bereft of speech.

“Shit! She suddenly remergbered something.

“What’s wrong?” Charles knitted his brows.

“Charles, I almost forgot that Samuel secretly sent some people to protect me, and they’re all elites. Although I disguised myself when I went out earlier, they’ll definitely recognize me. That means Samuel knows about what happened!”

Charles was rendered speechless.

Ding dong!

Kathleen received a notification and immediately took out her phone.

Samuel texted: Are you in the ward already?

It was Kathleen’s turn to be speechless.

Samuel: Next time, you can tell me about such risky things. I’ll find someone to handle it for you.

Kathleen showed Charles her phone.

After glancing at it, Charles said coldly, “Don’t worry. This man is so obsequious. He’ll definitely not tell on you.”

“I know he won’t, but, Charles, now he knows my secret.” Kathleen felt bitter.

he already knows, you can’t hide it from him anyway.” Charles patted her on the shoulder. Don’t worry too much. It’s getting late. You should rest now. I’m leaving.”

Okay Kathleen nodded.

Aner glancing at her, Charles turned to leave.

Taking her clothes off, Kathleen took a hot shower before lying down on the bed and checking her phone.

During her shower, Samuel sent her a ressage which read: What happened between you and Jennifer Leigh, the girl from your film crew?

Seeing that he had sent her several texts, Kathleen thought that she should reply to him.

She texted: Nothing happened.

Samuel: I don’t think so. If nothing happened, it’s impossible that she’ll do what she did. It’s either she was instructed by someone, or she bears a grudge against you.

Kathleen did not know what to say as she really knew nothing about it.

Samuel: I’ve sent someone to look into it. There’s no unusual credit to her bank account as well as her family members’. Also, nothing out of the ordinary has happened to her family either.

Kathleen: So, you’re ruling out the possibility that she was instructed by someone?

Samuel: The only possibility left is that this is related to a personal grudge. I found out that she’s a film academy graduate and took the same major as you. She enrolled in the same year as you but took a year off and only graduated this year.

Kathleen was shocked to learn that she and Jennifer were former coursemates.

Kathleen: I really don’t remember anything happening between us. According to what you’ve said, she took a year off from school, so it’s even more impossible for us to cross paths.

Samuel: Not necessarily.

Kathleen: Can you not be so inscrutable? Just tell me what you know!

Samuel: The reason she took a year off was because you stole the leading role from her in the freshman production during your first year.

Kathleen: I stole the leading role from her?

She was baffled.

Kathleen: The person who got the role was decided through voting. It’s not like I got it without working hard for it.

Samuel: You received one more vote than she did, which was why you became the female lead, while she couldn’t even get a supporting role.

Kathleen was rendered speechless.

I never stopped her from taking the other roles. What right does she have to pin the blame on me?

Samuel: That’s all my men managed to find. If you want to know more about the details, I’ll get

someone to go over and fill you in.

Kathleen: Thanks for helping me look into this.

What he found out was even more detalled than what Charles had discovered.

Samuel smirked.

While texting Kathleen, he was looking at their wedding photo and touching her face on the photo.

Samuel: Don’t risk going to the Yoeger residence alone again. If you want to see Old Mrs. Yoeger or treat her, I can help you. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Surprised that he could do it, Kathleen replied: Do you have a way?

Samuel: Did you know that Old Mrs. Yoeger has a younger sister?

Kathleen: Yes. She married a man abroad many years ago.

Samuel: I’m in Nalanica now. The person with whom I’m working on a new deal is the grandson of Old Mrs. Yoeger’s sister. As long as Old Mrs. Yoeger’s sister intervenes, the Yoeger family will definitely send Old Mrs. Yoeger to the hospital for treatment. What do you think about Goodwill Hospital?

Kathleen did not expect Samuel to come up with such an idea.

She asked: When are you free? Can we have a video call?

Samuel smiled, feeling pleased.

Looks like she’s taken the bait.

As soon as Kathleen sent him the text, she received a video call from Samuel.

She immediately accepted the call.

Dressed in a white shirt and black vest, Samuel was sitting on a chair.

Behind him stood a huge floor-to-ceiling window that looked out to the blue skies and a lake.

Looking at the elegant and handsome man, she commented, “It looks kind of nice over there.”

“I’ll bring you here next time if you want.” Samuel smiled.

After they got married, he had yet to take her out on any trips, which was the reason they did not have any beautiful memories to look back on. That was his fault.

“Do you really have a solution?” Kathleen asked.

“Yeah, I’ve asked. Old Mrs. Yoeger’s sister, Yasmine Schott, doesn’t want to see her sister end up like this, so she agreed to go back with me,” Samuel explained.

Kathleen was pleasantly surprised. “Really? You’re awesome, Samuel! After knowing you for so many years, I didn’t expect you to do such a great job this time!”

There was a helpless expression on Samuel’s face. “Why don’t I feel elated after hearing what you’ve just said though?

Kathleen replied with a smile, “All that matters is that I’m happy. Thank you. I really owe you a big favor

this time, but rest assured that I’ll pay it back.”

“Okay. I’ll remember it, and I hope you will too, Samuel replied.

“Of course I will.” Kathleen gave him a faint smile. “Anyway, I’m relieved. I’ll contact the hospital tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. If you intervene now, it’ll be easy for Vanessa to find out,” Samuel pointed out.

Kathleen nodded. All right. Anything you say.”

Samuel smirked. “Good girl.”

“All right. I won’t bother you anymore. Remember to contact me if anything happens.” Kathleen was about to end the video call.

Samuel, however, said, “Hold on.”
