Kathleen told Charles not to follow her.
They would need someone to take care of things at the funeral, too, as they could not possibly pass all the chores to Wynnie and Calvin.
In a low voice, Samuel offered, “I'll go with you.”
A hesitant look appeared on Kathleen's delicate face.
Samuel tugged at her and headed out, not leaving a chance for her to turn him down.
After getting into the car, Samuel tried his best to hide the menacing look in his eyes. “I'm not trying to force you or anything. However, if you're clearly aware that the Hoover family is coming after you, don't stop me from helping you.”
Kathleen pursed her red lips. “Okay.”
Samuel turned around and stated directly, “Kathleen, I can put up with everything you do, but if you choose to put yourself at risk, I'll need to stay by your side. I don't want Eil and Desi to resent me their whole life for failing to protect you.”
Initially, Kathleen wanted to retort, but she held her tongue upon hearing those serious words from him.
There was nothing else Kathleen could say when it came to the matters related to their children.
Seeing that she did not refute, Samuel finally felt the tension in his body subside a little.
“Can we leave now?” Kathleen asked cautiously.
The next instant, Samuel started the engine.
Kathleen let out a sigh without saying a word.
How terrifying! Samuel looks the scariest when he is furious.
Soon, they arrived at Kathleen's house.
In fact, Samuel had arranged for some of his subordinates to guard Kathleen's house too.
They did not get to inform Samuel in time, not because they were not carrying out their duties, but because all of them had been knocked out.
One of them even died after suffering severe injury.
Those people were going too far.
At the same time, Samuel had sent another group of people over.
When Kathleen and Samuel went in, there was someone examining Amelia and the others.
“Amelia, are you okay?” Kathleen hurried over.
Amelia shook her head. “I'm fine.”
Knitting her brows, Kathleen asked worriedly, “What exactly happened?”
“A group of people broke in and knocked us out. Just when I was still in a daze, I saw them taking Zion away. I wanted to call you, but I didn't have the strength to do so. So, I immediately contacted you as soon as I regained my consciousness,” Amelia explained.
Kathleen merely replied with a nod.
Then, she turned around and headed to Zion's room.
The room doesn't look messy, so they weren't searching for anything. I guess they took Zion away directly.
Just then, Samuel's phone rang.
He said in a deep voice, “Okay. I got it.”
As soon as he finished his words, he ended the call.
After that, he walked toward Kathleen and said, “My men found Dorothy's car. She has gone to Quilton.”
“Did she drive there?" Kathleen furrowed her brows.
Samuel nodded in response.
“It might not be true. She knows we will definitely save Zion, so she purposely exposed her trail and allowed us to discover her car. But the people in the car might not be her and Zion,” Kathleen reasoned composedly.
Seemingly unconcerned, Samuel replied flatly, “Don’t worry. I have enough manpower. I'll send a group of them to trail after this car, and another group of people will continue to look for her around Jadeborough.”
After mulling over his plan, Kathleen asked, “Are there any places in Jadeborough that we’ve possibly neglected?”
“It must be a place where the people know about your relationship with the Hoover family, yet it's a place that we couldn't think of,” analyzed Samuel.
A sharp glint flashed across Kathleen's eyes. “Let's go to the Yoeger residence!”
At the same time, Samuel thought of the Yoeger residence, too.
Dorothy must be waiting for the storm to be over. Then, she could secretly take Zion away without them noticing.
During this period, the place she was going to hide with Zion would become a concern.
Since Samuel's men had been searching for them, Dorothy definitely would not bring Zion to hotels or other places.
There could only be someone in Jadeborough who could help to hide their trails.
Most importantly, those people must know about their relationship with the Hoover family.
Samuel and Kathleen could only think of the Yoeger family after mulling everything over.
Vanessa definitely knew about this. So, it's impossible that Zachary and Yareli have no idea about it.
