Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 116

Kathleen turned around. “Mr. Macari, we're closed.”l know.” Samuel looked at her from above.Herhair was braided today. Wearing a red sweater and a pair of black jeans, she looked exceptionallyyouthful and pretty. When he stood behind her earlier, he kept gazing at the fair nape of her neck.His memories floated to when they had just gotten married.He had left countless marks at thatexact spot. Every time, Kathleen would complain that she couldnt go out like that.Back then, shewas so shy, gentle, obedient, and alluring.”So why aren't you leaving yet?” demanded Kathleencoldly.”l have something to tell you.” Samuel smirked meaningfully. “I cant say it here. I'll wait foryou in the car."Kathleen frowned.Suddenly, Samuel bent down and whispered beside her ear, “It'sabout the Yoeger family. You'd know."With that, he spun around and left.Kathleen frowned. Is hetelling the truth, or is he lying to me?However, it was safer to believe that it was the truth if it wasabout something like this.After all, what Samuel gave her the previous time was quite useful.Now,Ivan had already been arrested.She heard that Vanessa was trying to bail him out. With all the strongevidence, it was difficult for Vanessa to achieve that too.More importantly, Kathleen heard that abigshot was pressurizing JC, so Ivan couldn't get bail.ls Samuel behind this too?She pursed her lips.Since it was more important for her to investigate her mother's background, she decided to meethim.After work, Kathleen went to look for Samuel.His black Maybach was parked by theroadside.Meanwhile, he sat in the car, his gaze brooding and unreadable.As he stared at Kathleen'sslender figure, his lips curved into a gentle smile.This adorable bunny has fallen into thetrap.Kathleen got into the car, sat beside the driver's seat, and asked, “What do you know?"Samuelsmirked, his eyes as dark as ink. “My dearest Ms. Johnson, you're begging me for a favor now. Whyare you acting like I owe you?"She pursed her lips.Knowing that she sounded quite impatient earlier,she changed her attitude and said, “Is there anything that you'd like to tell me, Mr. Macari?"Anamused look flashed across Samuel's eyes as he passed a file to Kathleen.She was stunned. Is hegiving it to me so easily? Finally, he's acting like a decent human being.When she opened the file,she was shocked."What's this?” Kathleen frowned. “Did Zachary's illness worsen?"“This is whyVanessa's frantically eliminating everyone that can affect the Yoegers' core interests recently.”Samuel glanced at her from the side of his eyes. “Be careful.”Kathleen hesitated. “My brother and Iknow nothing about this."“Vanessa concealed it well. I had to spend a lot of money before receivingthis intel,” revealed Samuel solemnly. “A few million just for an egg fried rice.”Kathleen was at a lossfor words.“I'll repay you.” She pouted. “I'll ask my brother for that few million.”A sharp glint flashedacross Samuel's icy gaze. Suppressing it, he smiled. “Do you want more information?"“Do you havethem?” Kathleen was surprised.”l can replace out information that you can never get your hands on.”Samuel stared at her with an unreadable expression.She didn't deny it. Meanwhile, Samuel continuedgazing at her relaxedly and patiently.”But you have conditions,” replied Kathleen anxiously. “What isit this time?"He smiled. “You sure are smart.”“I was never dumb. I became useless when you weretaking care of me,” complained Kathleen resentfully.She regretted saying that immediately.”If youwant, I can continue taking care of you.” Samuel flashed her a meaningful smile.Kathleen frowned. “Ican take care of myself now.”"Then why are you asking your brother for money?” mocked Samuelcoolly.She bit her lips. “He's my brother. Am I supposed to ask you for money instead?"“Naturally, Iwon't refuse if you're the one asking me.” Samuel smirked. “But aren't you Christopher's fiancée?Why aren't you asking him?“Kathleen paused. So that's what he's waiting for.”Chris is different fromyou!" Her eyes shone brightly. “He respects me a lot and wouldn't put me in a tight spot.”Samuelgripped the steering wheels tightly, his knuckles jutting against his skin.Everything she said waswhat he had lacked in the past."Kate, I'll change in the future,” said Samuel hoarsely.”A leopard can'tchange its spots.” Kathleen breathed in deeply. “Anyway, what's your condition?"“Macari Group isplanning to invest in a movie, but the female lead hasn't been decided yet. I want you to act in therole,” replied Samuel. “With an award-winning actress, the movie will be extremely popular evenbefore its release.”Kathleen hesitated for a moment. “I want to read the script first."Samuel raised hiseyebrows. “So, are you agreeing?"“The remuneration will be used to repay you,” shecontinued.Samuel chuckled. “It's fine as long as you agree to act in the movie.”"l want to read thescript first. If it's bad, I won't do it.” Kathleen stuck to her own principles.Samuel grinned. “Thedirector of the movie is Spencer Scott, and the screenwriter is Remy Mills. You know their status inthe entertainment industry very well."Kathleen was stunned.Spencer was an internationally famousdirector who had won countless awards.Numerous people were dying to collaborate withhim.Kathleen couldn't help but feel tempted. If both of them were producing a movie, it woulddefinitely be good.However, she didn't dare to express it. “Still, I'd like to take a look at thescript."Samuel smirked meaningfully. “Okay, I'll send it to you later. Oh, right. Why don't you add meon Whatsapp? Otherwise, I can't send it to you."Kathleen was at a loss for words. Eventually, theyadded each other's contacts.Samuel looked at her profile picture. She was wearing a white dressand hugging a sunflower. With her dazzling smile, she looked beautiful.She probably had a fun timeduring her year abroad. She probably never missed me, right?She kept praising Christopher. Has hebeen keeping her company for the past year?As those thoughts ran across his head, Samuel'semotions began raging in turmoil. Meanwhile, Kathleen looked at Samuel's profile picture. It wastaken when she was trying out her wedding dress.“I'll go now.” Kathleen opened the car door andleft. It felt as if she was escaping.She didn’t understand why Samuel wanted to use that photo as hisprofile picture.Everyone in his social circle was wealthy and had high status. If they saw his profilepicture, their minds would wander.Staring at Kathleen as she left, Samuel smiled and stroked herprofile picture.lt's fine even if she forgets about me completely. It's fine if she wants a gentleboyfriend who respects her. I'll satisfy all her wishes.At that moment, Samuel's phone rang. It was acall from Christopher.He picked up the call. “What's up?"“Stop pestering her,” instructed Christopherin a deep voice. “Samuel, she doesn't love you anymore.”
