Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 464

Kathleen scoffed. “Slander? What did I slander you for? I only said that you knew Maijory. How is that slander? Oh, is there something wrong with Marjory?”

Miley bit her lip in silence, as she had no way to retort what Kathleen had said.

Kathleen shot a cold look at Richard. “You can either find out the truth or stay as an idiot. It's your choice.”

With that, she strode off.

Richard frowned deeply, having a feeling that Kathleen was hinting at something.

“Richard, don't be tricked by her. She's just bitter about Gemma's death,” Miley uttered tentatively.

“Who is Marjory?” he asked, knitting his brows.

“S-She...” Miley stammered. “She's a friend of mine.”

Is she admitting that she knows Marjory?

“What does she do for a living?” Richard was still frowning.

Miley paused for a while before answering, “She was hired by my parents to teach me self-defense tactics in the past. I was her student, but I was too pampered so I quit halfway. Then, she left my house.”

Richard stared at her quietly.

“Richard, let's get inside. The doctor is waiting for us,” Miley reminded, trying to change the topic.

Richard then pushed her into the hospital, expressionless.

Miley clenched her fists secretly. Kathleen's presence is a threat to me!

Meanwhile, Kathleen returned to the mansion and saw Rory taking out an ointment from the first aid kit.

“Rory, what happened?” Kathleen walked over.

“I...” Rory was at a loss for words.

Kathleen snatched the ointment from her. “Where did you get hurt? I'll help you to apply it on you.”

Rory then took off her top, revealing a severely bruised spot on her shoulder.

“How did you get this?” Kathleen was shocked.

“I had a brawl with Marjory,” Rory replied in a low voice. “She was my teacher, so..."

“You didn't win?” Kathleen cocked her brow.

“We tied.”

“There's nothing to be ashamed of, then. Luckily, she didn't pin you down on the floor and beat you to a pulp,” Kathleen comforted.

Rory was rendered speechless.

Kathleen's curiosity was piqued. “Why did you start fighting with her?” she continued.

“When we were secretly tracking Ashley, she noticed us. Dr. Johnson, Marjory is now Ashley's personal bodyguard. It's quite strange for her to provide protection to Ashley,” Rory explained.

“Oh?” Kathleen raised her brow. “How so?”

Rory answered, “Marjory is very capable. Hiring her to be a bodyguard is costly. If Ashley didn't do anything, why would the Zeller family hire such a good bodyguard for her? Is it because they know someone would seek revenge on Ashley as she had done something wrong?”

Kathleen understood what Rory was implying.

If Ashley was just trying to steal Samuel while he was still suffering from amnesia, no one would want her dead.

Unless... she also did something else. In fact, I've always had a troubling question on my mind. I am not sure if my assumption is right, but I could have my surmise confirmed during the engagement ceremony. That's decided then.

Kathleen continued to apply the ointment on Rory. “Do you know Marjory well?”

“Not really. She was just my teacher after all. We didn't really communicate with each other in private,” Rory elucidated.

Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “I have an idea. She poses a great threat to us. We should eliminate her as soon as possible.”

“How should we do that?” Rory knitted her brow.

After pondering for a moment, Kathleen replied, “I do have an idea, but I'll need your cooperation.”

“Okay.” Rory nodded. “When should we make our move?”
