After Kathleen settled down Samuel, who had passed out, she went straight to Samuel's study and started rummaging through his stuff.
She found his phone from the coat that he hung on the side.
As soon as she turned on his phone, a call came in.
“Mr. Macari, where are you?” Tyson asked eagerly.
“Tyson,” Kathleen answered calmly.
“It's me.”
“Mrs. Macari!” Tyson was so overwhelmed that he momentarily forgot about the relationship between Samuel and Kathleen.
“I'll send you my location. I need you to come over right away,” Kathleen said with a grim tone.
“Mrs. Macari, how are things going over there?” Tyson asked in concern.
“We're fine,” Kathleen replied coldly. “Tyson, don't bring too many people along with you. We still need to deal with Nicolette.”
“Understood.” Tyson nodded.
With that, Kathleen ended the call.
She knew the password to Samuel's phone.
It was her birthday.
Then, she sent her location to Tyson.
After that, Kathleen went down to the basement to see Nicolette.
When Nicolette saw Kathleen, the former's eyes were no longer as sharp. Instead, they looked like a dead fish's eyes—dim and unable to reflect light.
“Let's make a deal, Nicolette,” Kathleen suggested while looking at the woman condescendingly.
Hearing that, Nicolette furrowed her brows. “You've convinced him to let me go?"
Kathleen nodded in response.
Nicolette was at a loss for words. “Why?” She sneered.
“What do you mean why?” Kathleen asked in confusion.
“He likes you no matter which personality he is!” Nicolette was agitated. “Let me tell you something. I knew you would be my rival the day Old Mrs. Macari brought you back to the Macari residence! It's different how Samuel looks at you.”
“Really?” Kathleen was puzzled.
“Haha. The bystanders can always see more clearly than the people in the game.” Nicolette bit her lip. “You are the only person in his heart. He would never have talked to me if I didn't lie to him that I saved his life.”
Kathleen never imagined Nicolette would tell her this.
“Let me tell you something you don't know, Kathleen.” Nicolette continued, “When you first came to the Macari residence, Samuel always accompanied you when you were crying secretly by staying in your general vicinity. I saw him doing that a few times when I went to the Macari residence. He even rejected my invitation to go out since he was scared you would be alone. From then on, I knew you had to die!”
Nicolette thought this was her only solution. Otherwise, she would have nothing left.
“I had no idea.” Kathleen looked at her indifferently.
“I put in so much effort and played so many tricks, yet he only looked at me once. But you, you easily attracted his attention.” Nicolette's eyes were full of despair. “He loves you so much that he split into two personalities, and both of them still love you.”
Kathleen's expression was as emotionless as ever. “Even so, you're still not worthy of sympathy, Nicolette.”
“Just do whatever you want to me!” Nicolette snorted.
Still wearing a poker face, Kathleen uttered, “I never thought of killing you. I never wanted you to die from the very beginning. After all, you must be in despair since you can't use your legs.”
“So, that's your goal? To watch me suffer a pain worse than death and to live a living hell?” Nicolette's eyes turned glacial.
“That's right.” Kathleen's red lips curled into a sneer. “I'll be able to watch as you amble slowly to your death without taking any action myself.”
“I'm going to kill you!” Nicolette bellowed in agony.
“Nicolette, you're powerless now,” Kathleen said calmly. “You're nothing but Zachary’s source of kidney even if you're able to get out now. The Yoeger family is nice to you only because they can benefit from it.”
Nicolette looked at Kathleen in despair.
Then, she asked coldly, “What do you mean when you say you want to make a deal with me?”
“Keep everything that happened here a secret. In exchange, I'll help you when the Yoeger family decides to take your kidney.” Kathleen raised her brows slightly.
