Chapter 408
What Did You Do 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicolette, 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 intouch 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?” “Recording?” “Vanessa Yoeger, I’m telling you, you
better come back right now and deal with all this mess.
Or else, I’ll expose your transaction with the Hoover family and make your life a living hell.
I’m going to drag you down with me!” threatened Zachary angrily. After that, he ended the call. Vanessa
frowned. How did things turn out like this? No! I can’t just sit here and do nothing.
I have to return and look into the matter myself. With that thought in mind, she took her phone out.
“Book me a flight to Jade borough right now.
Hurry!” She knew that if she didn’t return as soon as possible, the Yoeger family would be doomed.
However, at the same time, she was aware that if she returned without making any preparations, there
was no way she could defeat Kathleen and the others. Moreover, she had a lot of questions. Thus, she
made another arrangement.
“Prepare a car for me first.
I need to go and meet Lauren.” After hanging up on Kathleen, Lauren felt uneasy as well. Nicolette is
such a nuisance! How could she implant a parasitic worm in Yareli’s body? As she was unable to hold
back her anger, she called Nicolette right away. “Are you crazy, Nicolette? I’ve told you not to implant a
parasitic worm in someone who already has a parasitic worm in their body! Why won’t you listen to
me?” screamed Lauren into the phone as soon as the call connected. Nicolette replied apathetically,
“Are you talking about Yareli? Theodore has already gone down, so what’s the point of hiding this any
longer? You should just tell everyone that I’m your partner and that the female lovebug is in my body.
Won’t that solve everything?” Lauren gritted her teeth.
“You! Don’t you forget that Yareli has a mother! Vanessa has strong backing behind her, and she’s not
someone we should mess with.” Nicolette snorted.
“The person backing her won’t necessarily be able to help her this time.” “What did you say?” Lauren
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrowned. “That person is now on my side.
Vanessa would surely contact you in a while.
I’m leaving the rest to you, Lauren,” elucidated Nicolette. “What do you mean?”
“Kill Vanessa.
She knows too much.
Just kill her, and the person backing her would help us.
Don’t worry,” Nicolette said meaningfully. “Are you sure?” Lauren was skeptical. “I’ve done so many
things ever since I’ve gotten back.
Why won’t you believe me? Kill her and let the Yoeger family be the scapegoat.
They will be blamed for Kathleen’s death.
After that, we won’t have to worry about anything.” A cold and evil smile appeared on Nicolette’s face.
Lauren asked, “How about Zachary? He’s your father.” Nicolette chuckled.
“He doesn’t think of me as his daughter at all.
I’ll never let him off.”
Her meaning was obvious.
Zachary had to die, too. “Okay then.” Lauren understood that she and Nicolette were on the same boat,
so they had to help each other.
Now that Theodore had escaped back to the country, Nicolette was the only one who could get rid of
him. Otherwise, Theodore would most definitely come looking for trouble once he was done
recuperating and regathering his strength. Lauren’s job, on the other hand, was to get rid of Vanessa
for Nicolette. After ending the call, Lauren frowned and pondered for a while. Just then, the door was
pushed open. Vanessa stormed into the room, her voice filled with anxiety.
“Lauren, what is wrong with the parasitic worm that you implanted in Yareli? Why hasn’t Samuel fallen
in love with her yet after so many years?”
Lauren turned to look at her.
“How would I know?”
Vanessa widened her eyes in fury.
