The next day was Vivian's funeral.
The relatives and friends of the Lewis family all came to attend.
All these years, everyone thought Vivian was overseas.
The Lewis family had blocked off all information about her, for fear that people would know.
However, following Vivian's suicide, everything was exposed.
Nonetheless, they would never know about the true reason.
Everyone thought Vivian ended her life because she was stricken by love, but that was not the case.
Kathleen hated the cemetery, so much so that she began trembling all over as soon as she arrived.
Charles only noticed she was shivering after he went over and held her shoulder.
“Are you all right?” he asked.
She nodded silently.
“I’ve been calling Godfather yesterday, but the line won't get through. He finally answered my call this morning and said that he didn’t send anyone to assassinate Samuel. It wasn't him,” he whispered.
Kathleen bit her lip. “I won't believe anything he said. Let's go back after settling everything about the Yoeger family.”
He nodded. “Okay.”
Vivian was soon buried.
As Kathleen looked at the casket, she felt distressed.
Noticing the expression on his sister's face, Charles took her in his arms and pressed her head in his embrace.
He knew that she was reminded of the death of their parents.
Her tears fell as he spoke in a low whisper. “I'm sorry, Kate. It’s all my fault.”
“You're my brother. I won't hesitate to do anything for you. But I can’t let them touch Samuel.” She bit her lip.
“I'll help you protect him,” Charles said.
As Kathleen spoke, she closed her eyes. “Listen up, Charles. We can't let Samuel know about this. Ever. We should settle the Yoeger family's matters as quickly as possible and find a place for Granny to stay in. Then, we'll return to the castle.”
“All right.” He nodded.
Vivian's funeral came to an end, and everyone began leaving the cemetery.
Caleb walked over. “Are you all right?”
Kathleen replied huskily, “I don't like funerals.”
“I think everyone hates funerals.” He furrowed his brows.
Just then, Charles' phone rang.
He answered the call and yelled in shock, “What did you say? Have Samuel gone nuts?”
When Kathleen heard Samuel's name being mentioned, she got anxious. “What's wrong, Charles? Is Samuel okay?”
Caleb looked concerned as well.
Charles responded with a solemn look on his face, “Samuel went to the Yoeger residence and captured Nicolette, who was bailed out from jail.”
Kathleen was stunned. “But the Yoeger family is waiting to get the dirt on him. I think he's trying to avenge me and my child.”
“What should we do?” Charles expression was grim.
“I'll call Tyson and ask him about Samuel's whereabouts.” Kathleen took her phone out and gave Tyson a call.
“Ms. Johnson.” Tyson's voice on the other end of the line sounded apprehensive.
“Tyson, where's Samuel?” asked Kathleen, her voice cracking.
“Mr. Macari went out alone in the morning. Ms. Johnson, I think you shouldn't look for him. I'm serious,” replied Tyson.
“Why? Samuel captured Nicolette, and if anything bad happened to her, the Yoeger family would definitely make a big fuss about it. Are you guys just going to stand by and watch?” Kathleen was perturbed.
“Ms. Johnson, there's nothing we can do. Actually, Mr. Macari's multiple personality disorder is acting up. If worse comes to worst, you should leave this place.” Tyson wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
“What did you say?” Kathleen was flabbergasted.
“I'm serious. Ms. Johnson, Mr. Macari has multiple personality disorder, and his second personality is currently in control of his body. His second personality is destructive, and after he's done dealing with Nicolette, he'll definitely go after you next. So I think you should take a plane and leave the country. Cover your tracks and don't let him find you. We'll take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry.”
Upon finishing his sentence, Tyson ended the call.
