Kathleen had never perceived herself as a compassionate person who would lend a hand to anyone who needed help.
At that moment, Rory came walking in.
"Dr. Johnson, I've done what you told me to." She spoke softly.
"Good job." Kathleen paused and asked, "Can you do me another favor, Rory?"
"Yes, of course."
"Take a picture of Yareli in this unconscious state and share it on the internet. I want to trick someone out of their hiding place," said Kathleen indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Rory was quite surprised to hear that.
Kathleen narrowed her eyes. "I want to lure Vanessa, of course. She's overseas, and I'm sure she has no idea what happened to Yareli. She definitely knows how my mother was stolen back then, so I must capture her. Yareli will act as bait."
Rory understood Kathleen's intention. "Don't worry, Dr. Johnson. I'll post the photo on international platforms so she would see it."
Kathleen nodded and touched her chin. "Tell them to write the title like this, 'The former heiress of Yoeger Group, Yareli Yoeger, will be sentenced to death for the murder of the wife and daughter of Macari Group's CEO.’"
"Roger that." Rory took her phone out and snapped a photo of Yareli before leaving the room.
Kathleen looked at Yareli emotionlessly and said, "It's surprising to know that Yareli, who had once triumphed over Nicolette, would end up in this state because of Nicolette."
"What is Nicolette planning to do?" asked Zion.
"She wants revenge. She thinks someone else had caused her miserable situation, and not herself," replied Kathleen, her voice devoid of emotion.
Zion nodded wordlessly.
"Okay, let's go. Nothing else to see here."
"All right." The young boy followed her and exited the room.
After that, he said to her, "Kathleen, I'll return to my room first."
"Go ahead. I'll send someone to inform you when it's meal time."
"Okay."
After Zion left, Kathleen turned to leave, too.
Meanwhile, Vanessa was on vacation overseas.
She wasn't worried, as she had been in contact with Yareli for the past few days.
However, she could no longer remain calm when she saw the news on the internet a few minutes ago.
She tried calling her daughter, but to her dismay, the latter's phone was switched off.
Is all of this real? Is Yareli really in trouble? But I've told her not to act recklessly so that Kathleen and the others won't be able to get the goods on her. Why did she kill Kathleen and her daughter? Samuel would never let her off the hook!
Vanessa was beside herself with worry when she still couldn't get in touch with Yareli.
After moments of pondering, she called Zachary.
Fortunately, the line went through, and Zachary's booming voice sounded from the other end of the line. "Hello?"
"Zachary, it's Vanessa. What is going on? What happened to Yareli?" asked Vanessa in a low voice.
"You! The audacity of you to ask me this question!
Because of the two of you, I can't even leave my house! People are guarding me every day and forbidding me to head outside. They're even investigating me!"
Vanessa froze when she heard that.
Looks like everything on the news is true.
"What are you talking about? I've never asked Yareli to do something like that!" she exclaimed anxiously.
Zachary scoffed disdainfully. "She came to me and asked me to team up with her. Guess what? She even recorded the conversation. Now that she's captured, the police found the voice recorder on her, and they think I'm her accomplice. Are you're still saying she didn't do anything?"
