Yareli knew better than anyone else that she did not have much time left to wait.
She knew Kathleen's medical skills were amazing.
Yareli heard from Vanessa that when Kathleen was serving Axeworth Corporation, she had invented a lot of medications.
She feared that Kathleen might have invented a drug to counter the poison.
Therefore, she went to look for
Samuel.
However, he ignored her.
Yareli was anxious. She worried that he might have found out how to cure the poison.
In that case, all her efforts thus far would go to waste.
No! I'll never let something like this happen. Never!
She chased after him and stepped through the threshold before the door closed.
Samuel stopped the car and got out of
the vehicle.
“Samuel!” Yareli jogged up to him.
She halted his way forward. With eyes brimming with tears, she said aggrievedly, “Why are you ignoring me?”
“Should I pay attention to you?” he responded coldly.
“How dare you say that to me, Samuel?” Yareli put down her outstretched arms and walked up to him. “Samuel, are you trying to force me to end my own life? There's no way for you to survive if I die. Do you understand that?”
Samuel’s heart ached slightly.
Nevertheless, he knew very well that the source of his agony did not arise from his feelings toward Vareli.
“I do not want to see you.” A hint of fury flashed across Samuel's eyes.
Yareli shuddered. She said, “Samuel, what should I do to make you understand my heartfelt affection for you? I have liked you ever since I was little. The love I harbor toward you is not lesser than Kathleen's or Nicolette's, and that's the truth!”
“How dare you compare yourself to Kathleen? Do you think you deserve to express your love for me after you utilized such an underhanded method to coerce me?” he scoffed.
“You forced me to do this! If you were willing to love me, I wouldn't have become who I am today!” Yareli shouted desperately.
Sheer hostility was apparent on Samuel's handsome and chiseled face.
Suddenly, Yareli took out a cutter knife from her bag.
She placed the knife's sharp edge on her wrist and said threateningly, “Samuel, if you do not agree to marry me, I'll end my life in front of you!” Samuel regarded her with a harsh expression. “If you wish to die, I won't stop you.”
With that, he strode away.
Yareli did not expect him to be so merciless.
“Samuel! Do you really intend to drive me to the brink of death?” she shrieked.
Samuel's handsome and elegant face turned cold.
At that moment, his phone vibrated inside his pocket.
He took out the device and glanced at the screen.
It was a message from Kathleen, informing him to accept Yareli's request.
Samuel furrowed his brows.
How does she know? Don't tell me she's nearby?
Samuel replied: Come and meet me.
Kathleen: Accept her request first.
Samuel: Kathleen, you said marriage is a sacred ritual. Yet, you're telling me to agree to marry her for the sake of luring
Vanessa out.
Kathleen: This is the only way.
Samuel: Come and meet me!
Kathleen: I'll meet with you once she leaves.
Samuel shut his eyes briefly in exasperation before typing: Okay.
He turned around and looked at Yareli frostily. “I can agree to marry you, but there are some things I need to confirm with your mother. Tell her to come and meet me.”
He walked into the house after saying
that.
Yareli was stunned.
What did he say? He's willing to marry me? This is wonderful! I can finally marry Samuel. This is so great. But why does he want to meet with Mom? Is he still attempting to avenge Kathleen?
