Chapter 214 Outsider
“I know.” A faint smile appeared on Sa
muel’s charming face.No, you don’t know anything. Kathleen pursed her lips and uttered, “Let’s go.”
Samuel let go of her hand, which led her to pause in her tracks.
The man walked slowly.
She looked back and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m afraid I’ll fall,” said Samuel, looking frail.
Kathleen was a little speechless as she walked over and reached out her hand to him.
Samuel took her hand and explained, “When I’m better, I won’t touch you anymore.”
She looked at him judgmentally, thinking what he said sounded extremely weird.
Samuel felt wronged and explained, “I’m not lying to you. Aren’t you a doctor? You can check my
condition and see if I’m getting better.”
“Okay, enough. I know.” Kathleen didn’t know what to do with this man.
Do I really need to check to know the condition of his health? He obviously looks ill.
Actually, she didn’t mean anything by saying that just now. It was just that Samuel’s actions were so
natural when he took her hand, as if that was what they always did.
She only wanted to remind him to watch his behavior, but he ended up putting on a pitiful facade.
Kathleen was never a ruthless person. If she really were ruthless, she would have ignored Samuel.
Holding her hand, Samuel got into the car, and she asked, “Where does Ms. Schott live?”
“I’ve prepared a mansion in advance for her. She likes it quiet, so the place is quite secluded,” Samuel
replied in a deep voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKathleen nodded.
When they arrived at the mansion, they saw a black BMW parked at the entrance.
Tyson said in a low voice, “Mr. Macari, that’s Vanessa’s car.”
Kathleen spoke faintly. “She’s fast in catching wind.”
Samuel, on the other hand, scoffed. “She’s still too late. Ms. Schott has been here for days, and if she
only knows about this today, that means my men succeeded in controlling her information network,
causing her to get the information later than everyone else.”
Kathleen turned to look at him in shock. “You destroyed her information network?”
Samuel snorted disdainfully. “You call that an information network? I simply sent some of my guys to
mess with it, and look how it turned out! She’s not as powerful as she thinks she is.”
Kathleen fell silent and had to admit that Samuel was indeed outstanding in finding out information.
The results of her and Charles’ effort, albeit a lot of time was spent, were nowhere near the mere lift of
Samuel’s finger.
Sometimes, she had to admit she admired his capabilities.
“Let’s go and check out what Vanessa said to Ms. Schott.” Samuel’s lips curled and formed a cold smile.
“Mm.” She nodded.
The two of them got off the car together and walked into the mansion side by side, entering the living
room.
They saw an elderly woman sitting on the couch with a cigarette in her hand while Vanessa sat on the
couch next to her.
Narrowing her eyes, Vanessa stared coldly at them. “Why are you guys here?”
“We’re here to visit Ms. Schott. Do we need your permission to do so?” The look in Kathleen’s eyes was
frosty as she spoke with an equally glacial tone.
Vanessa snorted in response.
“Ms. Schott, I’m sorry for not being in Jadeborough a few days ago. I had something to tend to.”
Samuel’s voice was indifferent.
Yasmine said with a faint voice, “Have a seat.”
A decorous smile surfaced on Samuel’s charming face. “This is Kathleen Johnson.”
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Schott,” greeted Kathleen.
The old woman scrutinized her wordlessly before Samuel pulled her to sit down.
“Ms. Johnson, we’ve talked on the phone before,” said Yasmine icily.
“Yes.” Kathleen nodded.
Samuel, who knew about this, began, “Ms. Schott…”
“Mr. Macari, my granddaughter is still waiting for you.” Yasmine spoke meaningfully.
Samuel didn’t say a word.
“Ms. Schott, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had a granddaughter,” said Kathleen, her face flushed.
Yasmine chuckled coldly. “If memory serves me right, you sounded so righteous and solemn through the
phone.”
Kathleen was clueless about how to explain herself.
She wouldn’t have spoken to Yasmine like that if the latter hadn’t said such things.
“You have quite the courage.” It was unknown whether the old woman was praising her or reproaching
her.
Kathleen felt awkward, while Vanessa was quite pleased. “Aunt Yasmine, if you’re unhappy, just throw
her out.”
Kathleen glared coldly at Vanessa, who said, “If it weren’t for her, Nicolette wouldn’t have been stuck in
jail.”
“She’s nothing more than the illegitimate child of a b*tch. I can’t believe the Yoeger family treats her like
she’s some kind of princess. Has the Yoeger family deteriorated?” Yasmine was suddenly displeased.
Vanessa instantly froze.
“I never like judging people by their identity, but have you ever thought of what Nicolette and her mother
did? You guys are ridiculous!” reprimanded Yasmine.
Vanessa’s face fell, and Kathleen struggled to hold back her laughter.
As expected, everything has its vanquisher.
“I’m telling you; since my sister is currently in this state, she has to be sent to the hospital. I swear I’ll
expose everything the Yoeger family ever did if you try to get in the way again!” Yasmine bellowed
furiously.
Vanessa’s body stiffened as she tried to reason with Yasmine, “Aunt Yasmine, how could you scold me in
front of outsiders?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCan’t she save me some face?
“Outsiders? So you still don’t know?” Yasmine glared coldly at her.
As she met the old woman’s gaze, Vanessa was stunned.
Subsequently, Yasmine grinned sarcastically and asked, “Don’t you know? Kathleen’s mother is the child
that my sister lost.”
Vanessa knitted her brows.
It turned out that Yasmine had known about this a long time ago.
Yasmine looked sideways at Kathleen. “You shouldn’t have hidden everything if you know about this,
too.”
Kathleen explained in an aggrieved tone, “Ms. Schott… Grandaunt, you’ve misunderstood me. I wanted
to reveal my identity last time, but I didn’t dare to because of what happened to Granny. I’d be the
laughing stock if someone refuses to acknowledge my identity.”
The look in Vanessa’s eyes was cold as she stared at Kathleen, who spoke lightly to Yasmine. “But now,
with you around, I’m sure you’d be able to help me.”
Yasmine’s lips twitched. “You sure know how to use me.”
Kathleen replied embarrassedly, “No, I would never. It’s just that it’d be best if an elderly is around when I
announce that. Otherwise, someone might think I’m an impersonator.”
Yasmine gazed at her with a profound look in her eyes and said to Vanessa, “You heard her.”
Vanessa remained stunned.
The old woman declared indifferently, “If you can’t make a decision, then let me. Let my sister and
Kathleen do a DNA test. We’ll know if Kathleen is truly related to the Yoeger family or not after the results
are out. Such things can’t be proved with words alone. Do you understand?”
Vanessa bit her lip. “Yes. But Aunt Yasmine, you can’t blame us for this. We’re just trying to be cautious
because, throughout the recent years, a lot of people tried to impersonate Kathleen.”
Yasmine boiled with anger. “Being cautious? If you guys wanted to be cautious, you guys should have
run DNA tests instead of blindly rejecting people. Who knows? One of those people who are rejected
might actually be my sister’s granddaughter! A shameless illegitimate child was easily accepted by the
Yoeger family, while the rightful heiress of the family was left wandering out there. The audacity of you
guys to even try and explain to me. How outrageous!”
