Aaron knew that Emily had recalled the memories of the past.
“All right. It’s my fault. Don’t be like this…” He was a little panicked.
“Hmph!” She turned her face away from him.
Feeling weighed down, he said, “But, your sister and brother-in-law are quite cunning too.”
“What do you mean?” She eyed him from the side.
“Have you ever seen any parents treating their son this way?” Then, raising his eyebrows, he continued,
“This is a ploy to help their son! Didn’t you see that Samuel gets to eat the mac and cheese made by
Kathleen while our son gets nothing?”
Emily was rendered speechless at once.
“Everyone in their family is full of evil intentions!” Furious, Aaron snapped, “Don’t forget how Calvin
managed to marry your younger sister back then.”
“So what? Calvin’s been nice to my sister. Just look at how happy they are,” she said.
Aaron huffed in exasperation and scoffed, “Back then, Calvin’s mentor wanted him to marry his daughter,
but Calvin was not fond of her. Calvin then approached your sister and told her that his mentor wouldn’t
let Calvin get his doctorate if he disagreed with the marriage. Your sister was a loyal friend. As he used
to help her in the past, she then told his mentor that both of them were engaged. She never expected to
get dragged into it. She only wanted to help Calvin initially. Don’t you think his act of gaining sympathy is
the same as Samuel’s?
Upon hearing his words, Emily was dumbfounded.
“The Macaris are devious!” Aaron continued angrily.
She pursed her lips and responded, “You are right. However, Old Mrs. Macari and my sister are
kindhearted.”
“Of course. Only the men of the Macari family are devious.” Aaron corrected his previous statement.
Emily let out a light chuckle.
However, she pulled a long face again right after that. “But our son is fond of her. As his parents, we

Aaron’s expression darkened. “I’ll talk about it with Kathleen another day.”
“Oh, come on. Don’t frighten the young lady,” Emily disagreed with the idea.
“I won’t. I know what I’m doing,” he said coldly.
“Don’t do anything reckless! I won’t be easy on you if you mess things up and break our son’s heart!” she
exclaimed angrily.
He was speechless. Can’t she just believe in me once?
“Kate had made Samuel mac and cheese!” Wynnie spoke emotionally. “Is Kate planning to forgive him?”
“You’re being too optimistic,” Calvin replied indifferently. “I don’t think Kate will forgive him easily.”
“That’s because his relationship with Nicolette is still left unsettled,” Diana said coldly. “Katie is back now,
yet Samuel is still defending Nicolette. So it would be difficult for them to get back together.”
“Samuel’s out of his mind!” Wynnie was infuriated. “My sister and brother-in-law were already here to see
their future daughter-in-law, and he was still unmoved no matter how hard we tried to help. It is so
infuriating!”
“Katie is heartbroken. Your play of gaining sympathy would not help.” Diana sighed.
“Kate might not like Christopher,” Calvin said calmly.
“After all, Kate is all grown up. She knows how to reserve her love now, unlike the last time when she
showed him all her love without concealing her feelings.” Wynnie was deeply troubled. “When can I have
a grandchild?”
There used to be a chance.
Diana remained silent for a while before commenting, “Don’t be hard with Katie. I can tell that she
doesn’t like Christopher too. However, if she intends to accept his love in the future, we shouldn’t blame
her too.”
Calvin and Wynnie nodded in unison.
“It isn’t a small matter to lose two children, not to mention losing them in such a manner,” Diana
continued in a deep tone. “When I had a body checkup a few days ago, I ran into the doctor in charge of
Katie’s surgery. He told me that the abortion had hurt her a lot, and it might cause her to have difficulties
getting pregnant in the future. The Macari family is in debt to her, and we must make up for it no matter
what.”
Again, Calvin and Wynnie nodded approvingly.
It was the conclusion the three of them had come up with.
No matter how bad Samuel and Kathleen’s relationship was, they will still treat the latter as their
biological daughter.
As for the couple’s ending, they would leave it for fate to decide.
On his way back, Samuel received a call from Tyson.
“Mr. Macari, Nicolette has been kicking a fuss in the past few days. Plus, some people recently went to
the villa to sniff out some information,” Tyson said solemnly.
“I know.” Samuel furrowed his brows deeply. There was a slight pain in his stomach since he had eaten
too fast.
After hanging up the phone, he headed to Spirit Villa hurriedly.
Spirit Villa had its name due to its eerie vibes. No one in their right mind would ever live there.
One year ago, Samuel bought the villa to make it a place for Nicolette to settle down.
Nicolette had broken her leg and only had an uncouth maid to look after her.
As she was the illegitimate child of the Yoeger family, no one cared about her well-being.
However, the Yoeger family recently remembered her existence.
They even sent some people to find information at Spirit Villa.
As for their intentions, Samuel was unsure as well.
He arrived at the room where Nicolette was locked up.
Nicolette was sitting on the bed in a blue and white stripe hospital gown, looking lifeless. One could tell
from the obvious scar on her face that she did not treat it properly back then.
As soon as she saw Samuel, she became agitated.
“Haha! You are here.” One could hear a hint of hatred and despair in Nicolette’s laughter. “You think of
Kathleen the most whenever you come to see me, don’t you?”

He replied frigidly, “The Yoeger family is looking for you recently.”
Taken aback by the news, she became overwhelmed with excitement. “Is that true? Are they finally
coming to save me?”
“You are a useless person. Have you ever thought of why they want to save you?” he asked coldly.
“Who cares? It doesn’t matter as long as I can be free.” She narrowed her eyes. “You won’t let me go.
Am I right?”
He remained silent.
“I’ve been suffering a lot thanks to your torture, Samuel!” she screamed angrily. “For the past year, I’ve
been living an inhumane life without any dignity. Why can’t you let me go, considering I’d saved your life
before?”
“I can’t,” he answered cold-heartedly. “You’ve caused the death of my two unborn children and almost
caused the death of Kathleen. All this torture is incomparable with what I’ve lost!”
Tears began welling up in her eyes at once. “That’s because I love you!”
“All you want is my power,” he responded grimly. “You want me to help you regain your status as the
daughter of the Yoeger family.”
Seeing that Samuel had seen through her plot, she remained unbothered. “That’s true. I do intend to use
you. But at the same time, I love you too. Do you think I’m the one who caused Kathleen’s miscarriage,
Samuel?”
“Yes.” The look in his face remained frosty.
“Haha!” She guffawed arrogantly. “Oh, Samuel. If it wasn’t for your negligence which made everyone
think that I was the one you loved, do you think they would heed what I say?”
He narrowed his eyes and shot her an icy-cold look. “You are right. It’s my fault.”
“So, you are also partially responsible for Kathleen’s miscarriage.” Nicolette arched a brow.
All of a sudden, Samuel removed his necktie and opened his shirt to reveal his chest and the horrendous
scar which extended to his abdomen.
She was stunned by the sight at once. “You…”
