Kathleen was stunned.
Kelly said, "Kathleen, the Hoover family are ruthless. You need to be careful."
"I will," Kathleen replied.
"Trevor is actually not that big of a concern. My grandma is the one you need to be wary of. That woman has a very twisted mind," Kelly reminded.
"Okay. Thank you for your reminder." Kathleen nodded.
Kelly flushed. "Perhaps I should have told you all these things earlier."
Kathleen fell into a daze.
"I knew of your existence for a long time. When I was very little, I overheard my grandma talking on the phone, and she mentioned you as well as your mother. Since then, I was made aware that your mother is my grandpa's exgirlfriend, and she was at that time pregnant." “Do you know who Old Mrs. Hoover was talking to?" Kathleen asked.
Kelly shook her head. "I don't."
"All right. I got it. I'll look for you if I have any more doubts." Kathleen's expression was calm.
"Okay." Kelly nodded.
Kathleen turned around and left.
She leaned against the wall while wearing a poker face.
She grew more confident that her mother's disappearance must have had something to do with the Hoover family.
Since Old Mrs. Hoover is so cruel, I shall not show her any mercy in the future!
Meanwhile, at the Yoeger residence, Yareli found Zachary.
"Uncle Zachary, are you really planning to just hand over the company and this house to an outsider?"
Zachary was drinking alcohol at that moment. He had not left the house in the past few days.
"Do you truly think that's what I want? But what else can I do now?" he said.
After all, Frances had already made her will, and they were rendered incapable of further actions.
"You really can't think of any method?" Yareli questioned him in a meaningful tone.
He gazed emotionlessly at her. "Why? Do you have an idea?"
"Although I cannot resurrect Grandma to amend her will..." Yareli sneered. "I have a way to re-seize Yoeger Group."
"How do you intend to do that?" Zachary arched his brow.
"Someone is offering capital to help us purchase Yoeger Group's shares in secret. However, she has a condition. If we can help achieve her goal successfully, she agrees to gift us those shares upon completing the task," Yareli explained.
He frowned. "Really?"
"I think you already know that Yoeger Group has been progressing very well under Charles' leadership in the past few years. It will be such a waste for us to give the corporation up just like that. Merely relying on the feeble amount of money from the family's trust fund for a living will not be sufficient," Yareli said coldly.
"I'm aware of all those things even without you pointing them out," Zachary replied impatiently.
"In that case, shouldn't you begin taking some actions instead of sitting here and drinking alcohol by yourself?" Yareli's eyes radiated a chilly aura.
He furrowed his brows. "Who is that person? What does she want us to help her with?"
"You are not a stranger to this person. She had provided us with plenty of assistance previously. You will know her identity once I tell you her goal," Yareli said in a significant tone.
"What's her goal then?" Zachary asked curiously.
"She wants Kathleen dead." A hint of murderous intent flashed across Yareli's eyes.
What?
Zachary straightened himself on the chair and placed down his wine glass. "Old Mrs. Hoover looked for you again?"
"Yes." She nodded.
His face darkened. "Do you think it is easy to kill Kathleen Johnson? Putting aside the fact that she has acquired abilities to protect herself now, she's also safeguarded by Charles and Samuel. We can do her no harm."
