Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 378

Chapter 378 No Longer Significant “Why didn't you criticize the Yoeger family for being shamelesswhen Hector used my granny to resolvethe company's crisis then?” Kathleen rebuked icily.

“Besides, Hector knew that my granny was pregnant and still insisted on marrying her. This clearlymeant he only caredabout the things my granny had! If it weren't for my granny, you guys wouldhave been starving on the streets! Forget about two million. You wouldn't even have twentythousand!” Sheer rage caused Zachary to glare at her. “My granny was too kind.” Kathleen gloweredas she added, “My mother was the child that Hector tossed away. If it weren't because of my grannybeing nice for old time's sake, you wouldn't have received any money!” “Y-You!” Zachary raised hispalm high, ready to strike Kathleen's cheek. However, Charles zipped over to defend KathleenWynnie thundered, “Zachary! If you dare touch Kate even once, I'll have you sent to jail!” Zacharywas at a loss for words as he knew Wynnie was truly capable of such a thing. “I forgot to mentionthat this mansion also belongs to Kate. So, you guys had better pack up and leave at once!” said ascoffing Wynnie. When Zachary heard that, he felt both a grueling heat and a nipping chill acrosshis face. It shocked him that all he had inherited was the monthly two million allowance and nothingelse. D*mn it! Dad was too soft-hearted. He should've killed Rebecca when he had the chance. Thatway, these two rotten brats wouldn't have shown up now to receive the family inheritance! “Getlost.” An air of hostility emanated from Wynnie while she spoke. “I'll also have you behind bars ifyou insist on hogging someone else's property!” Zachary gritted his teeth but could not do anythingat that point. Thus, he phoned some people to help move his things out. Meanwhile, Yareli did notbudge that entire time. Wynnie's pointed gaze landed on her. “Ms. Yoeger, I trust that you don'tneed me to repeat my words.” A vile sneer lurked on Yareli's face. “It looks like you've got quite thehelp, Kathleen.” “You guys brought all of this upon yourselves,” replied Kathleen, who bore animpassive countenance. “Hah.” Yareli scoffed, “Say, I wonder why Grandma was so foolish to end herlife the night you arrived. What poor timing.” Charles’ gaze turned steely at once. “Quit with yourschemes. Granny left a posthumous letter before she died.” A posthumous letter? Yareli clenchedher jaw in response. “Huh. I can't believe it. How come I don't know about this?” “The posthumousletter was addressed to Kathleen. Why would anyone have to tell you about it?” Sarcasm drippedfrom Charles’ voice as he questioned, “Who you think you are?” Yareli snorted. “This isn't over,Kathleen.” She then spun on her heel to go upstairs. Kathleen's gaze remained downcast on herlegs, not a trace of warmth visible on her delicate face. “Ignore her, Kate.” Wynnie consoled, “She'sall bark and no bite.” “Her words don't bother me,” said Kathleen. “Good.” Wynnie nodded beforestating, “I'll be off now since I have many matters to deal with.” “Okay. Thank you so much for allyour efforts, Mrs. Macari.” “Silly child. There's no need to be so formal with me,” said Wynnie, whohad no idea how to react when Kathleen called her “Ms. Macari.” While she knew she needed toaccept it eventually, she could not help feeling odd. After all, Kathleen used to call her “Mom” or"Wynnie.” Ugh. It's all Samuel's fault! How upsetting! “I'll be off now.” Wynnie soon turned to leave.Following that, Kathleen pursed her lips, feeling concerned. “Charles, Mrs. Macari seems sad.”"Samuel may be heartless, but his parents and grandma truly do adore you.” Charles elaborated,“However, they understand your decision.” Kathleen nodded. “So, how do you plan to deal with thisplace?” Charles looked over at the Yoeger residence. “I'm going to sell it.” Unwaveringdetermination filled Kathleen's tone. “There's no point keeping it since we would never move in. Ofcourse, if Zachary and the others desire this place, then I'll consider selling it to them. After all, Iwould never give it to them for free. They're not worthy.” “All right. I'll handle that then.” “I'm goingto pack up Granny's things.” Upon hearing Kathleen's words, Charles nodded. “Okay.” The formerthen headed to Frances’ room while the latter waited in the living room. In the meantime, Wynniehad just left the Yoeger residence when she noticed that Samuel's car was parked by the road, soshe walked over. Inside the car sat Samuel, who did not lower his windows. It seemed as though hedid not want to talk to his mother. Wynnie then pounded his window with her fist. That left Samuelhelpless as he opened the door. “Mom, what are you doing?” “I should be asking you that,” Wynnieremarked in a chiding tone. “I can't believe it. Kate has lost her memories and no longer loves you.”“Mom, I'm your son.” “You don't have to remind me.” What came next was a heartless commentfrom Wynnie. “I've already got a grandson and granddaughter, so you're no longer significant tome.” Samuel bit down on his lip, not saying a word. Nevertheless, Wynnie continued to lecture herson, “I just want to say that you shouldn't have treated Kate the way you did back then. Do youremember? You were so rushed to see Nicolette once that you dumped Kate alone in the middle ofthe road. She had to fend for herself against a drunkard. Now that I think about it, your current stateis truly a work of karma.” Silence was still the only thing Samuel had to offer. “All right. I'm donenagging. Hmph! It's all your fault that Kate is calling me Mrs. Macari now.” Having said that, Wynnieleft a gloomy Samuel. She's lecturing me over this? Although, I have been nagged at plenty of timesover these past few years. I suppose I'm used to it by now. Sometime later, Kathleen and Charleswalked out of the Yoeger residence. Samuel got out of his car. His sudden arrival took Kathleenaback. Why is he here? Subsequently, he strolled over to her and said, “Eil and Desi miss you a lot.”“Oh.” Kathleen nodded before replying, “I'll go over right now.” Samuel reached out to take theitems in her hand, stating, “Hop in. I'm heading home too.” Kathleen froze, slightly dumbstruck, andwanted to reject. Before she could do that, Samuel had already held her hand, leading her into hiscar. Charles crossed his arms as his intent gaze focused on the two. Kathleen did not refuse Samuelat that point. After all, she had been busy for three whole days, so she was missing the kids too. Itdid not take long for Samuel to get her into his car and drive away. The entire thing made Charleschuckle bitterly. Jeez, that... Samuel! How could he leave me behind? Am I not worthy of visiting myown nephew and niece? Meanwhile, in the car, Samuel's chilly frown could send chills down one'sspine. Kathleen's cautious and unwavering gaze was on the dashboard at all times. “You should slowdown.” Her words caused Samuel's handsome but taut face to darken. Even so, he compliantlydrove slower. Kathleen puffed up her cheeks, pouting. “Don't make me remind you next time.” Nexttime? Samuel's husky voice immediately asked, “Are you still willing to ride with me?” “I don't wantto,” Kathleen icily denied. “It's just that Eil and Desi often travel in your car.” Samuel was speechlessupon hearing that. Like him, Kathleen wordlessly stared outside the car window. The scene felt asthough the two had returned to the past before Kathleen lost her memories. Back then, she neverreally paid attention or responded to him either. “What are your plans from this point on?” Samueltried to revive a spark in their dying conversation. “Teach the Hoover family a lesson.” Kathleenfrostily added, “I'm going to get to the bottom of things. I need to know whether the Hoovers wereinvolved with what happened to my mom.” Samuel's lips thinned into a line. “I heard you've beenstarting a company? Are you not operating that entertainment company alongside Charlesanymore?” “I'm not interested in that. I'd much prefer researching and developing uniquemedications. After all, that can help improve other people's lives.” Samuel offered gravelly, “Don'thesitate to ask me if you ever need help.” “There's no need for that,” responded Kathleen flatly. “I'llask Caleb if I need anything.”
