Kathleen didn't want to talk to him.
Venting his problems to Nicolette, huh? What a disgusting man!
Without sparing him a glance, she walked past him.
“Tyson, clean up the mess,” ordered Samuel.
Tyson nodded. “All right.”
Samuel then chased after Kathleen and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.
“Let go! Are you worried about Nicolette because I'm going to kill her?” There was a murderous look in Kathleen's eyes as she spoke.
Samuel froze. Then, he looked at her coldly and questioned, “What are you talking about? If you want her to die, I can shoot her right now.”
Kathleen scoffed. “You seem unwilling, though. You even got her the robotic exoskeleton.”
“What robotic exoskeleton?” Samuel asked calmly.
“Samuel, why are you acting dumb?” Kathleen snapped. She felt extremely frustrated as she stared at his handsome and noble features. “If you didn't tell Nicolette that my brother needs Melting Ice Grass, how would she think of using that to lure me here?”
Samuel's face darkened. “I didn't even contact her. If you hadn't held me back that day, she would have been dead by now.”
Samuel knew that Kathleen had spared Nicolette's life because she didn't want him to face a lawsuit.
Now that Kathleen was accusing him, he felt upset.
“You're the only person I told about Charles getting poisoned. Even in the Blissful Sect, not many people know about it. How did Nicolette find out?” Kathleen demanded.
Feeling angry, Samuel stared at her frostily.
He was upset that Kathleen didn't trust him.
However, he couldn't do anything about it.
He knew that Charles was the person Kathleen cared about the most at the moment.
She would often lose her rationality when Charles was involved.
“Let go! I'm going to get back at Nicolette!” Kathleen bit her lip as she glared at him. There was nothing but coldness in her expression.
Yet, Samuel still wouldn’t let go.
“She's not here anymore,” he stated.
Kathleen was taken aback. After a short silence, she retorted, “I can look for her at the Yoeger residence.”
“Five minutes before I came here, Nicolette texted me that you were having fun here,” Samuel said grimly.
Having fun?
“If it were not for my fighting skills, I would be suffering right now,” Kathleen said with annoyance.
“I asked someone to find her whereabouts, but she had left.”
Hearing that, Kathleen furrowed her brows. “She left the country?”
“Yes. Someone is helping her in secret,” Samuel said as he stared at Kathleen's face.
The latter remained silent. She couldn't believe Nicolette had actually managed to escape.
“Do you think I'm helping her?” After asking that, Samuel held his breath, waiting for Kathleen's answer.
“How could she know so many things if it were not for you?”
“Have you never considered that the problem might be lying within the Blissful Sect?” Samuel's expression was hard to read.
Upon realizing that possibility, Kathleen clenched her jaw. “Then that old man must be asking for death! Regardless, I have to visit the Yoeger residence first.”
She broke free from Samuel's hold and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Samuel hugged her from behind.
His action attracted strange looks from the many people passing by.
Biting her lip, Kathleen growled, “Let go of me!”
“Shouldn't you apologize for falsely accusing me?” Samuel grumbled unhappily.
“But you have no evidence to prove your innocence,” Kathleen countered, turning her head to look into Samuel's dark eyes.
Samuel scoffed. “What if I prove that I have neither contacted nor helped her?”
“Then I'll apologize to you,” Kathleen replied solemnly.
Samuel smiled. “I don’t need your apology.”
His words brought a frown to Kathleen's face. “What do you want me to do, then?”
“I want a kiss from you.” When he said that, his lips curled up further into a smirk.
Kathleen bit her lip once again and elbowed Samuel in the chest. “We'll see after you prove your innocence.”
With that, she headed outside.
When she noticed Samuel following her, she asked, “Why are you following me?”
“I'm going to the Yoeger residence too. Since we're heading for the same place, let's go together.”
“I have my own car.” Kathleen didn't want to be in the same car as him.
