All Too Late

The scowl on Kathleen’s face deepened as she exclaimed. “I’ll kill you if you use Samuel’s body to do

anything bad!” “Kill me?” Samuel questioned with a cold chuckle. “Are you sure? He’ll never be able to

come back if you kill me.” Kathleen could only bite her lip in frustration after hearing his words. “So, how

is it? Are you still planning to kill me?” Samuel asked as he drew closer to her. Kathleen turned her head

around and drank the contents of the cup. The drink was a concoction of various iron-replenishing

supplements. However, it tasted awful with all of the supplements moved together. Smirking at

Kathleen’s disgusted expression, Samuel muttered, “Open your mouth.” Kathleen kept her mouth shut

As a result Samuel tugged her hand over and pressed a piece of candy into her palm before turning and

walking away. “Where is Nicolette?” Kathleen questioned in a cold tone as he was about to go. Samuel

pointed at the floor. “She’s in the basement.” “I want to see her,” Kathleen stated with a frown etched on

her face. “Your scope of activity is within this castle. You can go to the kitchen if you’re hungry. Other

than that, you can find me if you need anything else. Samuel informed before turning around and leaving

A deep scowl settled on Kathleen’s face. He’s so confident that I won’t be able to escape. She forced her

frustrated thoughts from her mind and decided to look for Nicolette in the basement Since the current

Samuel broke Nicolette’s legs. Kathleen reckoned the woman ought to know a thing or two about his

situation The basement was dark and humid, and it even had a drain that led to the sea In fact, it could

easily pass as a water cell. Samuel had locked Nicolette in this makeshift water cell Kathleen could not

get into the water even if she wanted to Nicolette was barely alive as she peeled her eyes open to beg

Kathleen “Please save me.” Kathleen lowered herself down and stared at her. “Do you think I’ll do that?”

“I dont want to die here.” Nicolette choked out bitterly. I can’t die here.” “Do you love Samuel, Nicolette?”

Kathleen asked with absolute seriousness. Nicolette nodded in response. Then why did you lie to him?”

Kathleen asked bewildered. “Would he fall in love with me had I not lied to him?” Nicolette sneered.

“What’s the use if I’m the only one who loves him? Would he give me his all if I loved him? Of course not.

That’s why! have to make him fall for me. Kathleen grimaced. “There’s obviously something wrong with

you.” Nicolette laughed eerily. “Humans are selfish Kathleen. Can you really blame me for it? I only did it

for my benefit “Forcefully taking my blood and even killing my children—you’re telling me these are

justified?” Kathleen was infuriated “You’re telling me it was entirely okay for you to ask that doctor to

send me to the morgue?” Nicolette remained silent Kathleen was furious. “I was the one who saved

Samuel. Yet, you claimed that you did so. I think that what you’re experiencing now is karma!” “It’s not

like you guys would dare to kill me.” Nicolette narrowed her eyes as she continued “Everyone’s aware

that Samuel was the one who took me away. On top of that everyone knows about the feud between us.

Naturally, they’ll connect the dots and think that Samuel was the one who murdered me if I died.”

Kathleen smirked. “How about we get rid of your body after killing you? How does that sound to you,

Nicolette? Nicolette froze. “Samuel won’t be pinned as the murderer without a body,” Kathleen stated as

she stared at her indifferently. “Do you actually think you have the right to pick a fight with me?” Nicolette

was fuming at that point. I wouldn’t have ended up like this if it weren’t for you!! would have been Mrs.

Macari! I would have had all the glory and wealth!” Kathleen merely regarded her with a poker face.

“How long do you think you’d last as Mrs. Macari with how you used others to get to that spot?” Nicolette

chuckled coldly. “Who are you to say that? Aren’t you the same? Didn’t Old Mrs. Macari contribute to

your marriage with Samuel?” “Yes. That’s why I divorced him,” Kathleen replied. Nicolette chewed on her

lip. “I believe that there’s something you don’t know. Nicolette.” Kathleen said. “Do you know why the

Yoegers suddenly acknowledged your identity as their daughter? Nicolette stared at Kathleen sharply.

Judging from her expression, it was obvious she had no idea. Zachary needed a kidney transplant and

yours matches his.” Kathleen informed, her pretty face void of emotions. Nicolette was taken aback by

the information. “Did you think the Yoeger family had truly accepted you as one of them?” Kathleen

mocked.

However, she would never tell Nicolette that Zachary did not actually have to undergo a kidney transplant

Nicolette’s face contorted into an ugly expression as she roared, “You’re lying to me!” “Why would I lie to

you? How would it benefit me to lie to you at a time like this?” Kathleen retorted. Nicolette was at a loss

for words. “I only have one question for you, Nicolette. Did you know about Samuel’s condition?”

Kathleen questioned coldly Nicolette’s eyes darkened. “Yeah, I knew. Kathleen frowned. “When did you

know?” “Help me escape if you want my answer!” Nicolette exclaimed through gritted teeth However,

Kathleen merely gave her a cold stare before turning to leave. “Wait!” Nicolette cried out. She had not

anticipated Kathleen to be as cruel and obstinate as she was “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Nicolette.

You have no right to bargain with me.” Kathleen stated icily. Nicolette sucked in a deep breath. “After you

left, he took me hostage and broke my legs without hesitation. That was when I found out that Samuel

had multiple personality disorder Kathleen furrowed her brows at Nicolette’s response. “Why didn’t you

say anything after getting rescued? “I was too terrified to do so.” Nicolette explained as she trembled in

fear. “You’ve seen it too Samuel’s other personality is terrifying.”
