Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 466

Ashley immediately placed a call to get in touch with Samuel. The moment the call connected, she quietly asked, “Why aren't you here yet, Samuel?”

He simply replied, “Traffic congestion.”

Traffic congestion? How's that possible? That's all excuses!

“Samuel, at the end of the day, I did save your life. No matter what happens today, you're not allowed to put me in a difficult position before everyone else. Just take it that I'm begging you for your cooperation on this,” stated Ashley pleadingly.

There was no warmth in his voice when he replied, “It's up to you whether to believe me or not.”

With that, he ended the call.

Ashley was taken aback and left speechless. Despite the surge of rage that overwhelmed her, she fought back the urge to fling her phone in her anger.

He's too much'.

As she clenched her teeth firmly together and fumed about the matter, she gave it some thought and guessed that Samuel was likely behaving this way because of Kathleen.

As such, she rose to her feet and lifted the hem of her dress up before she made her way out.

To her complete surprise, she saw that Kathleen had already arrived. The latter was dressed in a fully black gown and had a trench coat wrapped around her. It was almost as if she had come to attend a funeral.

Ashley instantly felt that this was a bad omen of things to come and sorely wanted to chase Kathleen away.

She strode over and exclaimed, “Kathleen! You're not welcome here!”

However, Kathleen only raised her eyebrows questioningly in response.

“That aside, I didn't even invite you! Please leave the premises at once!” yelled Ashley angrily.

“You're right in saying that you didn’t invite me. However, the Macari family wanted to give me an invitation card,” replied Kathleen nonchalantly.

As she spoke, she pulled out the pastel-colored purple invitation card.

Ashley was caught utterly by surprise, especially since this was the exact same card that she had arranged to have sent over to the Macari family previously.

She had done so as she wanted to antagonize Calvin and Wynnie by letting them know that her engagement with Samuel was set in stone and completely unavoidable.

Furthermore, this was also her way of signaling that it was now impossible for things to progress further between Kathleen and Samuel.

Despite her intricate plans, Wynnie and Calvin hadn't turned up at all.

Instead, they had handed the invitation card over to Kathleen and had the latter attend on their behalf.

That’s despicable of them! Isn't that the same as purposefully trying to gatecrash and ruin the event?

However, just as this thought ran through Ashley's mind, Kathleen coldly stated, “I've no interest in crashing this event or ruining it for you. Furthermore, I didn't come over to look for you.”

At this, Ashley furrowed her brows and countered, “That may be true, but you're here for Samuel! Isn't that the same?”

Kathleen scoffed lightly before she declared, “Ashley Zeller, if I truly intended to stop your engagement with Samuel, I didn't have to go through the trouble of turning up here physically at all. I could simply have gone over to find him at Florinia Manor.”

This stumped Ashley as she realized that Kathleen did have a point.

Kathleen momentarily swept her gaze across the place and it involuntarily fell upon Luna. The latter returned the favor with a cold glare.

As they locked eyes, an indescribably cold glint flickered across Kathleen's eyes.

She marched forward and strode over to take a seat right next to Luna.

Kathleen's eyes narrowed as she asked, “Is it all right if I sit here? Were fairly well acquainted after all.”

However, Luna only snorted coldly in reply.

Well acquainted? In your dreams!

Kathleen glanced over at Trevor, who had acted as if the entire situation was none of his business, and her red lips curled slightly.

Back where she had been left standing alone, Ashley clenched her fists tightly as she fumed over this new development. She was sure that Kathleen's presence here would surely affect Samuel later on. As such, she knew it was imperative that she get rid of Kathleen as soon as possible.

Ashley swiveled about on the spot and looked about anxiously. Finally, she called a bodyguard over and muttered a series of instructions in a low voice into his ear.

Following that, the bodyguard nodded and strode off, presumably to perform as instructed.

Ashley directed her gaze back toward Kathleen and glared venomously at Kathleen's back.

At this moment, Samuel suddenly strode in. Ashley let loose a sigh of relief as she daintily threaded her way over to him and greeted, “Samuel.”

However, he didn't even bother to look at her. His eyes, sharp as they were, had immediately noticed Kathleen's presence and locked onto her.
