Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 417

A woman as vicious as Luna would never let anyone who owed her off the hook.

Hence, she was determined to stay and watch Nicolette suffer.

"Mom, I'm not leaving. I can't leave you behind." Yareli was reluctant.

"Stop wasting time and leave now!" Vanessa gritted her teeth. "Remember this, don't try to save me or come back for me. Also, be more obedient to your biological father. All he has is a son and a daughter, who are younger than you, but no wife. As long as you use your head the right way, you won't have to worry about your livelihood."

"Mom." Tears welled up in Yareli's eyes.

"Listen to me. Leave now." Vanessa caressed her daughter's face and said, "Go."

"All right." Yareli nodded in response.

"Ask Kathleen and the rest to come here," Vanessa said.

"Okay." Then, Yareli turned around and left.

Moments later, Kathleen and Samuel entered the room with Charles in tow.

Vanessa stared at them coldly while she stated, "Kathleen, I want you to send Yareli to Turlen. She'll never return to this country from now onward. What do you say?"

Kathleen replied flatly, "Okay. I agree."

"Do you promise?" An icy expression shrouded Vanessa's face.

"If you don't trust me, we can call off our deal now." Kathleen remained indifferent.

To that, Vanessa sneered, "You've probably figured out what happened by now, haven't you, Kathleen?"

"I'd still like to hear about it from your perspective,"

Kathleen replied.

Vanessa took a deep breath before she began. "It's simple. Luna is a jealous and narrow-minded person. After she found out about Trevor and your granny, she immediately set off to look for my father, Hector. Then, she told my father she'd collaborate with him on one condition. And that was to kill your mother."

Kathleen frowned upon hearing that. "Kill?"

"Yes!" Vanessa nodded before continuing, "However, my father was soft-hearted and left your mother at the entrance of the orphanage owned by the Johnson family."

"Soft-hearted?" Kathleen scoffed, "That's a load of crap. Would you still consider me soft-hearted if I provide medical treatment to you after I break all of your limbs?"

Vanessa was at a loss for words.

At that moment, Kathleen's expression darkened. "Surely he received some benefits from Luna. Why are you trying to clear his name?"

"Right. My father should have just killed your mother!"

Vanessa narrowed her eyes.

If he had done so, there wouldn't be so much trouble now.

"That's right. That way, your sins would be concealed.” Kathleen sniggered. “Karma has got you back for it now, but you would end up far worse if your father had actually killed my mother."

Vanessa gritted her teeth.

"Keep talking," Kathleen said. "How did you and Luna start to work together?"

Vanessa stared blankly at Kathleen. "Although my father sent your mother to the orphanage, he kept tabs on her all these years. He didn't expect Luna to catch on to that. At the time, your mother married your father and had given birth to Charles."

Just then, Charles' gaze turned sharp. "So, you're saying Luna was behind the incident when I got separated from my parents in the past?"

"Yes." Vanessa nodded lightly.

Charles clenched his fists tightly at that.

That Luna is too wicked!

"What about you two?" Kathleen stared directly into Vanessa's eyes. "What did you and Zachary do?"

Then, Vanessa took another deep breath and continued, "We covered up her trails. You were Luna's target after your parents passed away. However, no one expected that you would get taken in by the Macari family."

Kathleen looked at Samuel silently.
