The next day, Kathleen brought Eilam and Desiree to school.
In the morning, Samuel had discussed with Eilam, telling the boy that they hoped he would only go abroad a few years later.
Eilam did not object to that as he knew Samuel and Kathleen's concerns.
Therefore, he thought that he could go overseas after he graduated from elementary school.
Only then did Kathleen breathe a sigh
of relief.
When they arrived at the school, they had a tour as they checked out the school.
Eilam was rather satisfied with that school, and Desiree liked it as well.
Hence, Kathleen immediately proceeded with their school enrollment procedures.
From tomorrow onward, they would study at that school.
After that, Kathleen brought them out of the school.
“Kathleen!” An angry voice came from the side.
As Kathleen glanced to the side, she saw Vareli dashing over with a knife in her hand.
Feeling worried that her two children would be harmed, Kathleen reached out to grab Yareli's hand.
While they struggled against one another, the blade cut Kathleen's hand.
Unfortunately, Kathleen did not have anyone with her except for the driver.
The driver got out of the car and wanted to help Kathleen.
However, two more people rushed over to abduct Eilam and Desiree.
Gritting her teeth, Kathleen ignored the pain in her hand and gripped Yareli's wrist before lifting her leg to kick Yareli in the abdomen.
“Ouch!” Yareli collapsed onto the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.
Kathleen looked toward the two people.
They didn't have the guts to do anything rashly, so they exchanged a glance with each other, then scurried away hurriedly.
Kathleen snorted coldly and looked at the driver. “Call the police!”
“Okay.” The driver called the police at once.
After that, Kathleen yanked Yareli up from the ground.
“Let go of me!” Yareli wailed, struggling against her grip. “Kathleen, I won't let you get away with it.” “Save it! Wait until you're out of prison before threatening me!” Kathleen mocked indifferently.
Yareli gritted her teeth.
“How dare you assault me. I'll make you pay for this,” Kathleen continued frostily. “Spend the rest of your life in prison and repent.”
“Why should I repent?” Yareli barked in anger. “You killed my mother!”
Kathleen scoffed, “I'm not the one who killed your mother. She deserved to die anyway.”
She did not want to waste any more time talking to Yareli, so she asked the driver to find a rag to stuff the woman’s mouth.
Before long, Samuel arrived.
He had a frosty look in his eyes as he stared at Yareli, who was restrained by Kathleen.
When Yareli saw him, she struggled even more forcefully.
“I can't believe she hopes that you'd save her,” Kathleen ridiculed.
Samuel replied in a solemn tone of voice, “In her dreams. She's overthinking it.”
“I've asked the driver to send the kids back home first,” Kathleen explained.
He nodded in reply.
Soon, the police arrived at the scene.
Not wanting to spend more time, Kathleen cut to the chase as she reported, “This woman has a grudge against me. She wanted to harm me with a knife. I hope she would be severely punished.”
“Don't worry, Mrs. Macari.” The police then arrested Yareli and took her away.
Looking at Kathleen's injured hand, Samuel said, “I'll send you to the hospital.”
“It's nothing,” Kathleen replied placidly. “Yareli is really at the end of her rope. I didn't expect her to attack me on her own.”
“She brought this upon herself.” Samuel held her hand gently. “You need to see a doctor.”
With that, he pulled her into the car.
Left with no choice, Kathleen sighed.
After they arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked on Kathleen and stated, “It's a superficial wound.”
“That’s right. If we'd come here any later, the wound would have healed on its own,” Kathleen said pointedly, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
