Kathleen was shocked that those words actually came out of Caleb's mouth.
Caleb took her hand and placed it around his arm. “Let's go, my future girlfriend.”
Kathleen was dumbfounded, but she still followed him down the stairs anyway.
They got into the car and left.
The banquet between Kathleen and Caleb was about some company's thirtieth anniversary.
All of the prominent figures in Jadeborough were present.
Kathleen knew that she would bump into members of the Macari family and the Morris family there.
She was a little nervous.
“Don't worry. I'm here,” Caleb assured her casually. “I won’t let anyone pick on you.”
Kathleen sighed. “Don't interrupt if anyone from the Macari and the Morris family comes to talk to me.” “Got it.” Caleb nodded.
She didn't know what to do with him anymore.
“Kate.”
Just as she finished speaking, Kathleen heard a very familiar voice.
“Hello, Mr. Macari.” Kathleen turned around and saw Calvin walking over.
“I didn’t expect to see you here,” Calvin said with a half-smile.
“Hello, Mr. Macari,” Caleb greeted with a bow.
“There's no need to be so polite, Mr.
Lewis. I'm no longer in charge of
Macari Group and have handed it over to Samuel,” Calvin said with a faint smile.
“Everything?” Kathleen was stunned.
Calvin nodded.
Wouldn't he feel worn out? Kathleen thought.
“He doesn't have much to do except for work anyway.” Calvin's smile had deep meaning behind it.
“That's right. Focusing on work can help someone to forget a lot of things,” Caleb replied.
Kathleen quirked an eyebrow and glanced at him.
Caleb merely smiled in response.
When Calvin noticed the interaction between the two, he sighed inwardly.
It's over. My son is officially out of the game.
“Mr. Macari.” Kathleen paused for a brief moment. “Samuel's body isn't doing well. It might be bad for his health if you give him too much to do."
“There's no use in telling me that. I can't stop him at all.” Calvin was also very helpless about Samuel's attitude. “You know how stubborn he is. No one can ever make him change his mind.”
Except for you, Kathleen.
Kathleen pursed her lips. "I've already been separated from Samuel, Mr.
Macari.”
Calvin looked at her deeply while his expression remained stoic. “You're right. It was Samuel's fault in the beginning. Don't worry about it, Kate. Every life has its own ending. To be fair, ever since both of you have split up, his well-being has nothing to with you anymore. Whether to die or to live will be according to Samuel’s own wishes.”
Caleb sneered from the side.
What an old bastard. He knows that Kathleen's soft-hearted. That's why he's using this to pressure her.
Kathleen probably thinks that he's not blaming her at all.
“You're right, Mr. Macari. I don't have any other solutions as well.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “1 no longer have anything to do with him.”
Calvin remained silent.
Sure enough, Kathleen had been hurt
too much.
He had asked Tyson about what happened, and the latter told him everything.
Even so, Kathleen remained unfazed.
However, she couldn't be blamed.
If it weren't for Samuel's negligence, Nicolette's plan wouldn't have succeeded.
Kathleen nearly died because of that.
What was even more dreadful was that she lost her babies.
The Macari family had no right to force Kathleen to stay with Samuel to save him.
Nevertheless, he was still Samuel's father. He could still help him a little.
But he could only do so much.
“Mr. Macari, I’ll be bringing Kathleen to meet the others,” Caleb said as he led her away.
If he continued to allow Kathleen to talk with Calvin, she might change her mind.
Calvin smiled coldly. Caleb sure is no fool as well.
Caleb brought Kathleen to the other side to greet the other guests.
