Chapter 362 Asking For Death

The people in the conference room had varying expressions.

None of them could come up with a better way.

The fact that Kathleen was standing there and hosting the meeting indicated that Samuel hadentrusted the matter to her.

Therefore, they couldn't really object.

Nevertheless, Xienna was unwilling to comply with Kathleen, as she believed that the latter washarming Samuel.

Thus, before the meeting even ended, she walked out rudely.

Kathleen didn't really care, but the others looked somehow flustered.

Although Kathleen had divorced Samuel, it was clear thathe still had feelings for her.

As for Xienna, although she was the family doctor Samuel had appointed, she was no special to him.However, Xienna didn't think that was the case.

After the meeting ended, Richard helped Kathleen carry her laptop. With a smile, he commented,“Dr. Johnson, even if you don't cherish and care for Mr. Macari, someone else will.”

She threw him a sideways glance and responded, “Isn't that a good thing?”

"Aren“t you worried that she'll go to Mr. Macari and have you replaced?” asked Richard with a half-smile.

“That would be great. I'll be able to focus on developing X-9.”

“Do you really think it can save Samuel?” Richard asked again.

“It cannot save him, per se. It will just help strengthen his body so he will be in the optimalcondition to receive surgery.”

After a short pause, Richard questioned, “Why don't you just tell Samuel the reason behind hissevere heart problem? It's because the male lovebug left in his body has merged with his heart, thusoverloading it.”

“Even if I don't tell him, you will. Plus, he knows it very well himself.”

The male lovebug was indeed the cause of Samuel's heart problem.

“You're scared that he would overthink once he found out, aren't you?” Richard suggestedmeaningfully, to which Kathleen made no response.

"I feel like you're quite concerned about him,” Richard went on. “Even though you seem to have nofeelings for him now.”

“I do have no feelings for him.” As she said that, Kathleen took her laptop from his hands. “I'll carrythis myself, Dr. Zimmer.”

Then, she strode forward.

Richard chuckled lightly. “Dr. Johnson, don't you want to take a look at your office?”

Confused, Kathleen turned around. “What office?”

"You're an incredible talent, so the College of Medicine is making much effort to make you stay.They have prepared an office for you,” Richard explained.

“I don't have plans to work here,” Kathleen said with a frown.

“That's true, but you said earlier that you would need lots of manpower and materials for your plan.They have all of that here. Come on, let's go and take a look,” Richard urged. “The organization isfunded by Samuel, anyway. It would be a waste to not use the office.”

Speechless, Kathleen allowed Richard to lead her to the office.

Indeed, the College of Medicine treated her with much respect. They had prepared a huge andspacious office for her.

“Not bad, right? They know about your relationship with Samuel, so they don’t dare to take youlightly,” Richard remarked.

“I am quite a capable person on my own,” Kathleen pointed out.

She didn't have to depend on Samuel.

“That's a given,” Richard agreed. “It's just that the combination of those two factors makes you evenmore impressive.”

Kathleen couldn't help snorting lightly. She had to admit that Richard was a smooth talker.

As they were talking, Kathleen's phone rang.

The moment she picked up the phone, Samuel's deep voice sounded from the other end of the line.“I just remembered something. A few years ago, you joined hands with Caleb and captured a mancalled Noles. After you got into the accident, Caleb abandoned Noles because he thought the latterwas useless. I actually rescued Noles and kept him by my side all these years. Is there anything youwould like to ask him?"

Kathleen was surprised to hear that. “You mean about me and Caleb?”

“Yes.” Samuel's voice was heavily laced with displeasure.

Of course, Kathleen had to replace out the truth. “I'll head over right away. Where do I meet you?”

"At the company. I'll wait for you here,” Samuel said indifferently.

“Okay.” With a nod, Kathleen hung up.

“Did Mr. Macari call you over?” Richard asked.

“Yes. I'll leave things here to you, then.”

As she turned around and left, Richard gazed at her figure intently and smiled without a word.Meanwhile, Xienna arrived at Macari Group with the intention to tell on Kathleen.

When she walked into the building, a security guard stopped her.

“Do you have an appointment?”

His question irked her. “You're saying I need an appointment?”

"Of course. Everyone who comes here needs an appointment. If you don't have one, I won't be ableto let you in. That is the rule here.”

“Don’t you know who I am?” Xienna snapped. “This is not my first time coming to Macari Group!”"Of course I know you, but that doesn’t change anything. Since you don't have an appointment thistime, you won't be allowed to enter,” the security insisted sternly.

Xienna grew even more irritated upon hearing that. “Since you know who I am, you should knowhow important I am to Samuel. He won't let you off if the urgent issue on hand gets delayedbecause you won't let me in!”

Despite her words, the security was unfazed. “Mr. Macari did not give me any orders about lettingyou in for no reason, so I cannot do that.”

Frustrated, Xienna stomped her feet.

"Dr. Powell, if I were you, I'd call Mr. Macari and ask him to let me in,” the security prompted.Xienna bit her lip, unwilling to give in.

It would be too embarrassing for her to call Samuel and ask him to let her in.

After all, she wanted a different treatment that could show how special she was to him,

This lowly security guard knows nothing!

Just as Xienna was contemplating what to do, Kathleen showed up.

She walked straight past Xienna without noticing the latter.

Abruptly, Xienna grabbed her. “Stop right there!”

Kathleen knitted her brows and withdrew her hand from Xienna's grip. “Are you asking for death?”she uttered coldly, making Xienna freeze on the spot.

"Who said you could touch me?” Kathleen added with disgust.

“You can't go in without an appointment!” Xienna warned

Before Kathleen could even respond, the security interjected, “Ms. Johnson doesn't need anappointment.”

Dumbfounded, Xienna blurted, “What did you say?”

“Ms. Johnson, Mr. Macari has instructed us in advance that you don't need an appointment to enter.This way, please,” the security said politely.

"Okay."

Without a change in her expression, Kathleen went ahead

“How come she can go in?" Xienna questioned with exasperation.

“It's an order from Mr. Macari, of course,” the security replied. “He asked Mr. Hackney to remind usto be polite to Ms. Johnson. Whoever dares to offend her shall leave Jadeborough.”

Xienna was in disbelief.

What? Didn“t Samuel divorce her already? Why is he still treating her so well? Does he think she’sthe only one who can save him? That foolish man! Kathleen just wants to use him as a test subject.No, I can't let this happen. I won't allow Samuel to be harmed! I have to stop her!
