“You're right, Ms. Johnson!” said Tyson with sudden realization.
Kathleen said softly, “Though I'm not as good as Samuel in business, I'm not totally ignorant. Tyson, I'll handle the press conference the day after. Give me all the relevant information.”
“Okay,” replied Tyson excitedly.
“We'll let Samuel have a good rest,” said Kathleen as she looked at Samuel's handsome face.
Yesterday he was deathly pale, but he had regained some color in him after one whole night of rest.
“Okay.” Tyson nodded and added, “Shall I come round for you the day after?”
“No,” replied Kathleen impassively. “It's better that no one knows that Samuel is here with me. I’ll drive there.”
“Sure.” Tyson nodded again.
Kathleen then hung up.
She let out a long sigh.
She was confused and lost.
In fact, she asked herself why she did all that for.
She pursed her lips and convinced herself that it was definitely not for Samuel.
She was doing it for the Macari family.
Diana and the rest of the family had been very good to her.
If something were to happen to the Macari family, it would definitely affect them.
Kathleen reiterated to herself that she did it for the Macari family and not for Samuel.
Definitely not.No way.
The next day, Kathleen was roused from her sleep by the ring tone of a phone.
At first, she thought it was her phone.
It turned out to be Samuel's phone, and it displayed the caller ID of Ms. Schott.
Kathleen was instantly wide awake.
Oh, no. How can I forget about her completely?This is bad!
Ms. Schott was in Jadeborough and wanted to meet Samuel and was looking for him.
It meant that she had to pick up the call.
After a moment of hesitation, Kathleen finally answered the call.
“Hello,” said Kathleen softly.
The caller on the other end, obviously taken aback, asked, “Who are you?”
It could be discerned from the voice at once that the caller was someone elderly but authoritative.
“I'm Kathleen,” replied Kathleen.
Kathleen?
Ms. Schott frowned and asked, “Why are you answering Samuel's phone?”
“Well...” Kathleen was at a loss for words.
“Aren't the two of you divorced?” Ms. Schott broke in, sounding displeased.
“Yes, but-” Kathleen pursed her lips and continued, “We are together again.”
Ms. Schott said coldly, “I want to speak to Samuel.”
After a little hesitation, Kathleen answered, “Ms. Schott, it's not convenient for Samuel to talk to you now. You can tell me what it's all about and I will inform him.”
“Okay. Remind him what he said to me before—if I were to come to Jadeborough and get him and my sister out of the Yoeger family, he will get engaged with my granddaughter. Ask him if this still stands!” Ms. Schott replied angrily.
Kathleen stiffened at what she had just heard.
Samuel is marrying Ms. Schott's granddaughter? Why has Samuel never told me anything about it? Unless Samuel is trying to help her and has, therefore, agreed to Ms. Schott's condition.
“I get it,” answered Kathleen, feeling more and more uneasy with every passing minute.
Then, she hung up with a big frown clouding her face.
She found the matter hard to believe but was relieved that Ms. Schott had not insisted on seeing Samuel.
Still in her nightie, Kathleen returned to her room.
