“I know.” A faint smile appeared on Samuel'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.
Kathleen 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.
