Divorce Anxiety novel Chapter 185

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.

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.”
