Kathleen looked at Samuel in confusion.
“Let him finish explaining,” Samuel remarked calmly.
“I was a member of Windwell Corporation from the beginning. Not long after I joined this organization, the leader asked me to infiltrate Lewis Enterprises and put poison in Samuel's medicines. That's all,” Nolan explained.
Taking out Theodore's picture, Kathleen asked, “Is he the organization's leader you're talking
about?'
Nolan nodded. “Yes. That's him."
“Did he say anything else besides asking you to poison Samuel?” she inquired.
Shaking his head, Nolan answered, “No.”
Furrowing her brows, she probed, “Then, how much do you know about Windwell Corporation?”
“I don't know that much about the organization. However, I can tell you one thing.” Nolan gave her a level look and continued, “I heard the leader's conversation with Lauren by chance.”
“What did he say?”
“The leader said since you're that man's granddaughter, he can do whatever he wants to you,” Nolan replied.
Granddaughter?
Samuel murmured in a low voice, “Before you had amnesia, you've already found that the man who was in a relationship with Old Mrs. Yoeger also has the Hoover surname.” “Really?” Kathleen was flabbergasted.
Samuel nodded in response.
Nolan spoke up. “Mr. Macari, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first.”
“All right.”
Nolan stood up and left.
When he reached the door, he turned back and asked Kathleen, “Ms.
Johnson, will I be hunted down by the organization?”
Kathleen froze for a moment before asking, “Do you even know which organization you're working for?”
Nolan was startled by her question.
“Don't worry. They have long forgotten about you," Kathleen reassured.
They have forgotten about me?
Nolan's expression darkened at once.
He had been living in seclusion over the past few years. He was on tenterhooks every day in fear of being hunted down by the organization.
Nevertheless, he did not expect that they had long forgotten his existence.
Nolan was an orphan who had no one else to rely on. He was used to surviving on his own until he was recruited by Windwell Corporation one day.
That gave Nolan a sense of purpose in which he thought that he had found a place he belonged.
However, they never took him seriously.
Kathleen seemed to read Nolan's mind at that moment. She comforted, “Look on the bright side. You can start a new life now that they have forgotten about you. Isn't that nice?”
Nolan let out a chuckle before replying, “Maybe.”
With that, he turned on his heel and left.
Kathleen knew that Nolan needed time to process what had happened that day.
Looking at her solemnly, Samuel asked, “What do you think?”
“If Theodore is related to my biological granddad, I can only go to Granny and ask for clarification about this matter.” A conflicted expression flashed across Kathleen's delicate face.
Samuel observed her with his keen eyes. “You don't want to see her?”
Nevertheless, she remained silent.
He knew that Kathleen was reluctant to contact the people she knew before her amnesia, even if they were her relatives.
Furthermore, she was also acting indifferently toward Charles.
She would only show her gentle expressions toward both Eil and Desi.
Standing up, Kathleen said, “We have to get to the bottom of this matter. Let's go.”
Samuel swallowed hard as he called out, “Kate...”
Looking at him calmly, Kathleen uttered, “We should go now. I’ll call Charles first.”
Nodding, he answered, “All right. I'll follow your lead.”
The moment Charles received Kathleen's call, he immediately rushed to the Yoeger residence.
