Chapter 365 Scumbag

Kathleen looked at Samuel in confusion.

“Let him finish explaining,” Samuel remarked calmly.

“I was a member of Windwell Corporation from the beginning. Not long after I joined thisorganization, the leader asked me to infiltrate Lewis Enterprises and put poison in Samuel'smedicines. That's all,” Nolan explained.

Taking out Theodore's picture, Kathleen asked, “Is he the organization's leader you're talkingabout?”

Nolan nodded. “Yes. That's him.”

"Did he say anything else besides asking you to poison Samuel?” she inquired.

Shaking his head, Nolan answered, “No.”

Furrowing her brows, she probed, “Then, how much do you know about Windwell Corporation?”“I don't know that much about the organization. However, I can tell you one thing.” Nolan gave hera level look and continued, “I heard the leader's conversation with Lauren by chance.”

"What did he say?”

“The leader said since you're that man’s granddaughter, he can do whatever he wants to you,”Nolan replied.

Granddaughter?

Samuel murmured in a low voice, “Before you had amnesia, you've already found that the man whowas in a relationship with Old Mrs. Yoeger also has the Hoover surname.”

“Really?” Kathleen was flabbergasted.

Samuel nodded in response.

Nolan spoke up. “Mr. Macari, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first.”

“All right.”

Nolan stood up and left.

When he reached the door, he turned back and asked Kathleen, “Ms. Johnson, will I be hunteddown by the organization?”

Kathleen froze for a moment before asking, “Do you even know which organization you're workingfor?”

Nolan was startled by her question.

“Don’t worry. They have long forgotten about you,” Kathleen reassured.

They have forgotten about me?

Nolan's expression darkened at once.

He had been living in seclusion over the past few years. He was on tenterhooks every day in fear ofbeing hunted down by the organization.

Nevertheless, he did not expect that they had long forgotten his existence.

Nolan was an orphan who had no one else to rely on. He was used to surviving on his own until hewas recruited by Windwell Corporation one day.

That gave Nolan a sense of purpose in which he thought that he had found a place he belonged.However, they never took him seriously.

Kathleen seemed to read Nolan's mind at that moment. She comforted, “Look on the bright side.You can start a new life now that they have forgotten about you. Isn't that nice?”

Nolan let out a chuckle before replying, “Maybe.”

With that, he turned on his heel and left.

Kathleen knew that Nolan needed time to process what had happened that day.

Looking at her solemnly, Samuel asked, “What do you think?”

"If Theodore is related to my biological granddad, I can only go to Granny and ask for clarificationabout this matter.” A conflicted expression flashed across Kathleen's delicate face.

Samuel observed her with his keen eyes. “You don't want to see her?”

Nevertheless, she remained silent.

He knew that Kathleen was reluctant to contact the people she knew before her amnesia, even ifthey were her relatives.

Furthermore, she was also acting indifferently toward Charles.

She would only show her gentle expressions toward both Eil and Desi.

Standing up, Kathleen said, “We have to get to the bottom of this matter. Let's go.”

Samuel swallowed hard as he called out, “Kate...”

Looking at him calmly, Kathleen uttered, “We should go now. I'll call Charles first.”

Nodding, he answered, “All right. I'll follow your lead.”

The moment Charles received Kathleen's call, he immediately rushed to the Yoeger residence.Upon arriving, he saw Kathleen sitting inside Samuel's car.

"What's wrong?” Charles walked over with a deep frown on his face.

“Do you know why people feel apprehensive upon returning home after a long time?” she asked.Charles was rendered speechless for a moment.

“Relax, Kate. She's our granny. She loves us very much. Even though you have lost your memory, shewon't treat you badly. Besides, her Alzheimer's disease has been getting worse in recent years,”Charles reassured her.

Kathleen pursed her lips. “Okay.”

With that, she got out of the car.

Charles looked at her warmly. “Let's go.”

Then, Kathleen followed him to the Yoeger residence.

Frances was over the moon knowing that Kathleen had come to see her.

Tears streamed down Frances’ face when she saw Kathleen.

“My dear Katie!” Frances wrapped her in a tight embrace.

Kathleen tried her best to remain composed.

Nevertheless, when Kathleen felt the warmth from Frances, her tensed body gradually relaxed."Good girl. Thankfully you're still alive. I knew you wouldn't die because you're strong. Eil and Desiwill finally have a mom.” Frances shed tears of joy.

Kathleen nodded in response.

At last, Frances let go of Kathleen. Regardless, the latter's expression had changed slightly.Frances was heartbroken when she learned of Kathleen's ordeal.

"Come. Let's sit in the living room.” Frances took Kathleen's hand and led them to the living room.Everyone took their seats.

Kathleen smiled faintly upon sitting down. “Granny, can you help me to identify this person?”Then, she took out her phone and showed Frances the picture of Theodore.

Frances’ face turned pale when she saw the picture. “That's...”

“Granny, do you know this guy?” Kathleen asked as she looked at Frances.

Even though Frances wanted to deny it at first, she eventually nodded after pondering it briefly.“Yes, I do know him,” she admitted, sighing.

“Granny, who is he?” Kathleen was curious to replace out the person's identity.

A hint of bitterness flashed across Frances’ face as she spoke. "He's your granddad's elder brother.”What?

Kathleen looked at her in astonishment. “Granddad?”

“His name is Trevor Hoover. He's a scumbag!” Frances exclaimed coldly.

A scumbag?

“Trevor Hoover? That Trevor from Quilton?” Samuel finally spoke up.

Frances nodded in response. “That's him.”

Kathleen frowned at Samuel's reaction. “Samuel, do you know him?”

“I've met him once before. However, I didn't think they were brothers as they don't resemble eachother,” he explained.

"Of course, they don't look alike. They're half-brothers. Furthermore, they aren't on good terms asthey publicly fought each other to be the head of the Hoover family. I met Trevor thanks toTheodore,” Frances replied.

"Why?" Kathleen inquired.

Frances let out a long sigh. “Back then, Theodore had the upper hand while competing for theinheritance. Trevor had amnesia after his accident, and that was when I met him. I didn't know whohe was, nor did I think much at that time. I was young, after all. By the time I found out that I waspregnant, he had also recovered his memories. After that, he abandoned me.”

Kathleen widened her eyes in shock. “Didnt he say anything?”

Shaking her head, Frances said, “Alas, no. However, it's all in the past now. I no longer hold a grudgeagainst him. Kate, why are you showing me Theodore’s picture?”

“There's something you don’t know, Granny. Theodore was the one who abducted me back then,”Kathleen answered.

“What? It was him?" Frances fumed.

Kathleen nodded.

Frances was seething with rage. “D*mn it! Even though you're Trevor's granddaughter, he has plentyof other descendants. Theodore also hates dealing with the children or grandchildren that Trevorcares most about. Why would he kidnap you of all people?”
