Chapter 356
Sacrifice Me Yareli knew better than anyone else that she did not have much time left to wait. She
knew Kathleen’s medical skills were amazing. Yareli heard from Vanessa that when Kathleen was
serving Axeworth Corporation, she had invented a lot of medications. She feared that Kathleen might
have invented a drug to counter the poison. Therefore, she went to look for Samuel. However, he
ignored her. Yareli was anxious. She worried that he might have found out how to cure the poison. In
that case, all her efforts thus far would go to waste. No! I’ll never let something like this happen. Never!
She chased after him and stepped through the threshold before the door closed. Samuel stopped the
car and got out of the vehicle. “Samuel!” Yareli jogged up to him. She halted his way forward. With eyes
brimming with tears, she said aggrievedly, “Why are you ignoring me?” “Should I pay attention to you?”
he responded coldly. “How dare you say that to me, Samuel?” Yareli put down her outstretched arms
and walked up to him. “Samuel, are you trying to force me to end my own life? There’s no way for you
to survive if I die. Do you understand that?” Samuel’s heart ached slightly. Nevertheless, he knew very
well that the source of his agony did not arise from his feelings toward Yareli. “I do not want to see
you.” A hint of fury flashed across Samuel’s eyes. Yareli shuddered. She said, “Samuel, what should I
do to make you understand my heartfelt affection for you? I have liked you ever since I was little. The
love I harbor toward you is not lesser than Kathleen’s or Nicolette’s, and that’s the truth!” “How dare
you compare yourself to Kathleen?
Do you think you deserve to express your love for me after you utilized such an underhanded method
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto coerce me?” he scoffed. “You forced me to do this! If you were willing to love me, I wouldn’t have
become who I am today!” Yareli shouted desperately. Sheer hostility was apparent on Samuel’s
handsome and chiseled face. Suddenly, Yareli took out a cutter knife from her bag. She placed the
knife’s sharp edge on her wrist and said threateningly, “Samuel, if you do not agree to marry me, I’ll
end my life in front of you!” Samuel regarded her with a harsh expression. “If you wish to die, I won’t
stop you.” With that, he strode away. Yareli did not expect him to be so merciless. “Samuel! Do you
really intend to drive me to the brink of death?” she shrieked. Samuel’s handsome and elegant face
turned cold. At that moment, his phone vibrated inside his pocket. He took out the device and glanced
at the screen. It was a message from Kathleen, informing him to accept Yareli’s request. Samuel
furrowed his brows. How does she know? Don’t tell me she’s nearby? Samuel replied: Come and meet
me. Kathleen: Accept her request first. Samuel: Kathleen, you said marriage is a sacred ritual. Yet,
you’re telling me to agree to marry her for the sake of luring Vanessa out. Kathleen: This is the only
way. Samuel: Come and meet me! Kathleen: I’ll meet with you once she leaves. Samuel shut his eyes
briefly in exasperation before typing: Okay. He turned around and looked at Yareli frostily.
“I can agree to marry you, but there are some things I need to confirm with your mother. Tell her to
come and meet me.” He walked into the house after saying that. Yareli was stunned. What did he say?
He’s willing to marry me? This is wonderful! I can finally marry Samuel. This is so great. But why does
he want to meet with Mom? Is he still attempting to avenge Kathleen? Yareli frowned instantaneously.
She wanted to marry Samuel, but his condition was to meet with Vanessa. She wondered what
Samuel’s intention was. Yareli had the urge to question him, but she did not have the courage to do so
because she was afraid Samuel would regret his decision once she asked. She needed to leave at
once to contact Vanessa upon arriving home. Yareli was thrilled, as she was so close to achieving her
goal after waiting for so many years. Samuel stood inside the study on the second floor, gazing out of
the window. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he turned on his heels. At that moment, someone
knocked gently on the door. “Enter,” he said coolly. Standing outside the door, Kathleen shuddered. He
doesn’t sound cheerful, unlike his usual self. Seems like he’s quite mad. She pushed the door open
and stepped into the room. Samuel stood inside the unlit study.
He stared at her with his dark, frosty eyes. She felt even more pressured. “Have you been following
me?” He frowned. “No, no.” She waved her hands immediately. “Someone told me Yareli is here, so I
came because I’m curious what she’s up to. Then, I heard what she said.” Samuel said indifferently,
“Forcing me to marry Yareli. Aren’t you becoming more capable, Kathleen?” “I did not force you,” she
said in a hurry. Samuel gazed at her emotionlessly. “I was merely pleading with you to cooperate with
me. I want to locate Vanessa,” Kathleen added. Samuel eyed her in displeasure. “That’s why you
sacrificed me? Who am I to you?” “I’m not asking you to marry her for real. Don’t tell me you truly plan
to marry Yareli after luring Vanessa out?” she explained. “What if Vanessa suggests meeting with me
only after I register for a marriage certificate with Yareli? What should I do then?” he demanded.
Kathleen flushed. “You have the upper hand in this matter. As long as you are adamant about meeting
with her before the marriage, judging by Yareli’s obsession with you, she would beg Vanessa to comply.
Besides, if Vanessa feels this matter is risky, she may not agree to her daughter’s request and even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpersuade Yareli not to pester you anymore. Am I right?” “How do you plan to compensate me if things
do not progress as you anticipated?” Samuel took a step forward, radiating a domineering aura.
Kathleen bit her lip. “My brother told me you are in my debt.” Samuel frowned. His eyes turned cold.
“That’s why you plan to sacrifice me?” “I told you that’s not what I’m doing.” Kathleen did not know how
to explain. “Otherwise, you can just reject her and forget about this matter.” Samuel’s dark eyes, which
were the same shade of black as the luxurious suit he wore, gleamed. “I can agree to your request, but
with conditions.” Kathleen had already planned to leave. She did not blame Samuel, as it was only
natural for him to oppose her suggestion. However, since he agreed, she had a reason to stay. “Don’t
worry. I’m not going to ask you to marry her for real.” Kathleen’s eyes shone. “I just want to find out
Vanessa’s whereabouts. I cannot rest assured while she roams free. I’m worried she might risk it all
and kidnap the children for money, personal gains, or even for the sake of securing a better future for
Yareli. That’s why—” Samuel pressed his slender finger against her red, soft lips. “You don’t have to
speak further.” He understood Kathleen’s concern. As a mother, she was worried about a lot of things.
Samuel was no different from her. Therefore, he was extremely protective of Eil and Desi. Samuel fixed
his dark, emotionless eyes on her. “Can you really not remember anything from the past?” Kathleen
nodded. “Yes. I can’t recall anything.” He put down his hand.
A crestfallen expression spread across his handsome and chiseled features. “Samuel, do you wish for
me to remember my past or not?” she asked in curiosity. His gorgeous face paled slightly as he
answered in a hoarse voice, “I don’t know.” Kathleen was puzzled. He wore a bitter expression.
“Perhaps it is better that you do not recall anything.”
