Chapter 356

Sacrifice Me Yareli knew better than anyone else that she did not have much time left to wait. Sheknew Kathleen's medical skills were amazing. Yareli heard from Vanessa that when Kathleen wasserving Axeworth Corporation, she had invented a lot of medications. She feared that Kathleenmight 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 curethe poison. In that case, all her efforts thus far would go to waste. No! I'll never let something likethis happen. Never!

She chased after him and stepped through the threshold before the door closed. Samuel stoppedthe car and got out of the vehicle. “Samuel!” Yareli jogged up to him. She halted his way forwardWith eyes brimming with tears, she said aggrievedly, “Why are you ignoring me?” “Should I payattention to you?” he responded coldly. “How dare you say that to me, Samuel?” Yareli put downher outstretched arms and walked up to him. “Samuel, are you trying to force me to end my ownlife? There's no way for you to survive if I die. Do you understand that?” Samuel's heart achedslightly. Nevertheless, he knew very well that the source of his agony did not arise from his feelingstoward Yareli. “I do not want to see you.” A hint of fury flashed across Samuel's eyes. Yarelishuddered. She said, “Samuel, what should I do to make you understand my heartfelt affection foryou? I have liked you ever since I was little. The love I harbor toward you is not lesser thanKathleen'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 underhandedmethod to coerce me?” he scoffed. “You forced me to do this! If you were willing to love me, Iwouldn't have become who I am today!” Yareli shouted desperately. Sheer hostility was apparent onSamuel's handsome and chiseled face. Suddenly, Yareli took out a cutter knife from her bag. Sheplaced the knife’s sharp edge on her wrist and said threateningly, “Samuel, if you do not agree tomarry me, I'll end my life in front of you!” Samuel regarded her with a harsh expression. “If you wishto 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 handsomeand elegant face turned cold. At that moment, his phone vibrated inside his pocket. He took out thedevice and glanced at the screen. It was a message from Kathleen, informing him to accept Yareli'srequest. Samuel furrowed his brows. How does she know? Don't tell me she’s nearby? Samuelreplied: Come and meet me. Kathleen: Accept her request first. Samuel: Kathleen, you said marriageis 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 sheleaves. Samuel shut his eyes briefly in exasperation before typing: Okay. He turned around andlooked at Yareli frostily.

“I can agree to marry you, but there are some things I need to confirm with your mother. Tell her tocome and meet me.” He walked into the house after saying that. Yareli was stunned. What did hesay? He's willing to marry me? This is wonderful! I can finally marry Samuel. This is so great. But whydoes he want to meet with Mom? Is he still attempting to avenge Kathleen? Yareli frownedinstantaneously. She wanted to marry Samuel, but his condition was to meet with Vanessa. Shewondered what Samuel's intention was. Yareli had the urge to question him, but she did not havethe courage to do so because she was afraid Samuel would regret his decision once she asked. Sheneeded to leave at once to contact Vanessa upon arriving home. Yareli was thrilled, as she was soclose to achieving her goal after waiting for so many years. Samuel stood inside the study on thesecond floor, gazing out of the window. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he turned on hisheels. At that moment, someone knocked gently on the door. “Enter,” he said coolly. Standingoutside the door, Kathleen shuddered. He doesn’t sound cheerful, unlike his usual self. Seems likehe's quite mad. She pushed the door open and stepped into the room. Samuel stood inside theunlit study.

He stared at her with his dark, frosty eyes. She felt even more pressured. “Have you been followingme?” He frowned. “No, no.” She waved her hands immediately. “Someone told me Yareli is here, so Icame 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 tocooperate 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'ttell me you truly plan to marry Yareli after luring Vanessa out?” she explained. “What if Vanessasuggests meeting with me only after I register for a marriage certificate with Yareli? What should Ido then?” he demanded. Kathleen flushed. “You have the upper hand in this matter. As long as youare 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 toher daughter's request and even persuade Yareli not to pester you anymore. Am I right?” “How doyou plan to compensate me if things do not progress as you anticipated?” Samuel took a stepforward, radiating a domineering aura. Kathleen bit her lip. “My brother told me you are in mydebt.” 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 knowhow to explain. “Otherwise, you can just reject her and forget about this matter.” Samuel's darkeyes, which were the same shade of black as the luxurious suit he wore, gleamed. “I can agree toyour request, but with conditions.” Kathleen had already planned to leave. She did not blameSamuel, as it was only natural for him to oppose her suggestion. However, since he agreed, she hada reason to stay. “Don’t worry. I'm not going to ask you to marry her for real.” Kathleen's eyesshone. “I just want to replace 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 thesake of securing a better future for Yareli. That's why—" Samuel pressed his slender finger againsther 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 wasextremely protective of Eil and Desi. Samuel fixed his dark, emotionless eyes on her. “Can you reallynot remember anything from the past?” Kathleen nodded. “Yes. I can't recall anything.” He put downhis hand.

A crestfallen expression spread across his handsome and chiseled features. “Samuel, do you wish forme to remember my past or not?" she asked in curiosity. His gorgeous face paled slightly as heanswered 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.”
