“Why didn't you criticize the Yoeger family for being shameless when Hector used my granny to resolve the company's crisis then?” Kathleen rebuked icily. “Besides, Hector knew that my granny was pregnant and still insisted on marrying her. This clearly meant he only cared about the things my granny had! If it weren't for my granny, you guys would have been starving on the streets! Forget about two million. You wouldn't even have twenty thousand!”
Sheer rage caused Zachary to glare at her.
“My granny was too kind.” Kathleen glowered as she added, “My mother was the child that Hector tossed away.
If it weren't because of my granny being nice for old time's sake, you wouldn't have received any money!”
“Y-You!” Zachary raised his palm high, ready to strike Kathleen's cheek.
However, Charles zipped over to defend Kathleen.
Wynnie thundered, “Zachary! If you dare touch Kate even once, I'll have you sent to jail!”
Zachary was at a loss for words as he knew Wynnie was truly capable of such a thing.
“I forgot to mention that this mansion also belongs to Kate. So, you guys had better pack up and leave at once!” said a scoffing Wynnie.
When Zachary heard that, he felt both a grueling heat and a nipping chill across his face.
It shocked him that all he had inherited was the monthly two million allowance and nothing else.
D*mn it! Dad was too soft-hearted. He should've killed Rebecca when he had the chance. That way, these two rotten brats wouldn't have shown up now to receive the family inheritance!
“Get lost.” An air of hostility emanated from Wynnie while she spoke. “I'll also have you behind bars if you insist on hogging someone else's property!”
Zachary gritted his teeth but could not do anything at that point.
Thus, he phoned some people to help move his things out.
Meanwhile, Yareli did not budge that entire time.
Wynnie's pointed gaze landed on her.
“Ms. Yoeger, I trust that you don't need me to repeat my words.”
A vile sneer lurked on Yareli's face. “It looks like you've got quite the help, Kathleen.”
“You guys brought all of this upon yourselves,” replied Kathleen, who bore an impassive countenance.
“Hah.” Yareli scoffed, “Say, I wonder why Grandma was so foolish to end her life the night you arrived. What poor timing.”
Charles' gaze turned steely at once.
“Quit with your schemes. Granny left a posthumous letter before she died.”
A posthumous letter? Yareli clenched her jaw in response. “Huh. I can't believe it. How come I don't know about this?”
“The posthumous letter was addressed to Kathleen. Why would anyone have to tell you about it?” Sarcasm dripped from Charles' voice as he questioned, “Who you think you are?”
Yareli snorted. “This isn't over, Kathleen.”
She then spun on her heel to go upstairs.
Kathleen's gaze remained downcast on her legs, not a trace of warmth visible on her delicate face.
“Ignore her, Kate.” Wynnie consoled, “She's all bark and no bite.”
“Her words don't bother me,” said Kathleen.
“Good.” Wynnie nodded before stating, “I'll be off now since I have many matters to deal with.”
“Okay. Thank you so much for all your efforts, Mrs. Macari.”
“Silly child. There's no need to be so formal with me,” said Wynnie, who had no idea how to react when Kathleen called her “Ms. Macari.”
While she knew she needed to accept it eventually, she could not help feeling odd.
After all, Kathleen used to call her “Mom” or “Wynnie.”
Ugh. It's all Samuel's fault! How upsetting!
“I'll be off now.” Wynnie soon turned to leave.
Following that, Kathleen pursed her lips, feeling concerned. “Charles, Mrs. Macari seems sad.”
“Samuel may be heartless, but his parents and grandma truly do adore you.” Charles elaborated, “However, they understand your decision.”
Kathleen nodded.
“So, how do you plan to deal with this place?” Charles looked over at the Yoeger residence.
“I'm going to sell it.” Unwavering determination filled Kathleen's tone. “There's no point keeping it since we would never move in. Of course, if Zachary and the others desire this place, then I'll consider selling it to them. After all, I would never give it to them for free. They're not worthy.”
“All right. I'll handle that then.”
“I'm going to pack up Granny's things.”
