“Mrs. Morris,” Kathleen called, stopping Emily.
Aaron also walked over and held Emily back.
“Now that we found out the truth, the Morris family should decide what to do,” Kathleen stated.
“Thank you,” Aaron thanked her sincerely.
“It's nothing.” Turning to Charles, Kathleen said, “Charles, let's go.”
The latter nodded and turned around to enter the bathroom.
After removing his hospital gown and changing into his own clothes, he came out and left with Kathleen.
When they exited the room, they ran into Felix, who had been eavesdropping outside.
Even when a fight broke out inside, he did not go in.
Upon seeing him, Kathleen sneered. “Old Mr. Morris, do you perhaps think that I’m being nosy?”
Felix's face darkened at her words.
“Because of your foolishness, your grandson ended up comatose. I wonder how you feel,” Kathleen mocked.
“You!” Felix clenched his jaw with rage.
“Just because you're old doesn't mean I won't dare to do anything!” Charles spoke up, looking at Felix coldly.
Felix was so mad that his features were contorted.
On the other hand, Kathleen smiled nonchalantly. “Even if I were not a divorcee, I would never want to marry into your family. With an elder like you around, my life would be horrible!”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Charles also let out a snort before following suit.
As Felix watched them leave, his face was sour.
Just then, Emily's angry voice boomed from the room. “Send her to the police station. I'm going to kill whoever tries to stop me!”
Since she had already put it that way, Felix knew there was no point in going in anymore.
Never in his dreams did he expect Astrid to do something like this.
No matter what, Christopher was his grandson. There was no way he would stand on Astrid's side at this point.
He decided to let Aaron handle the matter.
However, he was sure that his friend would come begging for mercy.
Meanwhile, after the Johnson siblings left the Morris residence, they got into their car.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Charles asked, “Where do we go?”
“To the College of Medicine. I'm meeting Samuel there.”
Charles paused for a while. “Kathleen, you—”
“Don't worry. I still remember what you told me last time,” Kathleen reassured. “Like what you said, I did have feelings for him before. But now, I don't remember those days anymore, nor do I still like him. It's just that, as Desi and Lil's father, he took care of them for five years. They're very dependent on him, and if something happens to him, the kids will be traumatized.”
Charles nodded. “I'm not in the position to say much about the relationship between you two. Your happiness matters the most, in the end.”
“I know. No one can force me to do what I don't want to,” Kathleen uttered icily. Upon remembering something, she asked, “By the way, did the people from Blissful Sect come looking for you?”
“Yes.”
“Ignore them, no matter what they tell you,” Kathleen said sternly. “I'm going to deal with them once I'm done with the matters on hand.”
Hearing that, Charles looked at her in surprise.
“Wilbur has long joined hands with Axeworth. However, he doesn't seem to be aware of my identity.”
Charles was visibly taken aback. “His father, Raymond, has never been on good terms with Theodore,” he commented.
“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded. “I know that. The two organizations have been battling each other fiercely this year.
Do you think that's a pure
coincidence? It's all someone's doing.”
“I guess I should inform Raymond about it,” Charles muttered, narrowing his eyes.
“Don't be so quick to act,” Kathleen advised. “Do you think Raymond will believe you if you tell him now?
Wyatt and Wilbur are going at it right now. If you tell Raymond, he'll think that you’re siding with Wyatt. You better take your hands off Blissful Sect’s issue as early as possible. If you can't, I'll destroy them for you.”
Charles widened his eyes.
‘All it takes is a bag of powder,”
Kathleen continued coldly.
“That would be too obvious.”
“What are you worried about?” After saying that, Kathleen started laying out her plan. “I'll give Raymond, Wyatt, and Wilbur one bag each. After they die, you'll be the most powerful one in Blissful Sect. By then, you can become the leader.”
Charles stared at her as he was rendered speechless.
