Chapter 455 Truly Amnesia “But what do I do?” Ashley didn't understand. “That's also very simple.Just tell her you're pregnant.” Lauren smirked and looked at Ashley sardonically. “Given Kathleen'sprideful behavior, she won't call Samuel to verify this. If it were true, why would she risk losing herpride? Even if she does decide to confront him, Samuel is going to feel very attacked. How will theynot fight, then?” Ashley thought that what Lauren said made sense. “But Kathleen is a traditionalmedicine doctor after all. She will ask to take my pulse.” In this sense, Ashley did not feel at easewith the plan. After briefly rummaging through her bag, Lauren fished out a bottle of medicine.“These pills can help replicate a dual pulse. Even if you go to the hospital for an examination, theywon't replace out. However, this only lasts for seven days.” Ashley gasped and took it from Lauren. “Is ittruly that effective?” “Don’t you believe me?” Lauren smiled coldly. “Think about your legs and face.Who do you have to thank for that?” “I believe in you!” Ashley was very happy. “Lauren, I'm so gladto have you help me.” Lauren smiled casually. “You know what I want, right?” “I know,” Ashley saidwith a smile. “Don’t worry. When I marry Samuel, I will let him get rid of the Blissful Sect for you. Bythen, the whole country can be yours!” Lauren was very happy to hear this. “Lauren, I haven't seenyou have a man for so many years.” Ashley was extremely curious.

“Surely you're not—" “I'm straight. I also have male friends who take care of those needs,” saidLauren mildly. “I just think that men are inferior to power and money. Men cannot give me a senseof security, and I can never trust men.” With that said, Lauren downed half a glass of red wine.Ashley said quietly, “What if a man like Samuel pursued you?” Lauren let out a peal of sarcasticlaughter. “He is very good, but that doesn’t mean I have to like him.” Lauren had always had onlyone purpose. She wanted power. She wanted to get rid of all the organizations in the nation andemerge as the only victor. When she had the power she craved, why would the men not cave?Ashley pursed her lips, but said nothing. Back at the Johnson residence, Kathleen had just helpedDesiree with her bath and put her to bed. Desiree took Kathleen's hand. “Don’t be sad, Mommy.Even if Daddy doesn't want you anymore, I still love you.” Kathleen's gloomy mood was swept awayimmediately, and she smiled.

“Don’t worry. I'm not sad, and it's not that he doesn’t want me anymore. Rather, it's the opposite.”“Mommy, do you really not want Daddy anymore?” asked a very upset Desiree. “But I want us all tobe together!” Kathleen stroked Desiree’s face. “Desiree, some things cannot be forced.” Desireeseemed to hover between understanding and confusion. “Okay, time for bed.” Kathleen kissedDesiree’s forehead, tucked her in, then left. Kathleen went downstairs. She entered the living room,only to replace Charles sitting there. Kathleen walked toward him. “You're alone? Did Clarissa not tagalong?” “She said she wasn't feeling well, so she decided to rest at home. I also heard you had arun-in with Samuel today?” queried Charles. Kathleen was surprised. “How did the news reach yourears so quickly?” Charles sighed. “Why didn't you say something? Everyone is watching you. Youwere even photographed by the paparazzi near the restaurant you were at today.” What? “Who didthis?” Kathleen immediately dug out her phone. She could not care less if she showed up in thepictures. However, she did not want to expose the children to this.

“They're not that unscrupulous. The children’s faces were censored, but they also deleted thesepictures,” replied Charles. Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief. “Do you think Samuel really hasamnesia?” Charles asked curiously. Kathleen huffed in anger. “If his amnesia is fake, wouldn't thissituation be even more abhorrent?” Charles was stunned to silence, and he found that Kathleen wasnot just angry at Samuel. She was downright resentful now. Her indifference toward Samuel waslikely a product of her rage. “You're just going to let it slide?” Charles narrowed his eyes. “If Samuelis really engaged to Ashley, then I definitely don’t want him!" hissed Kathleen. “That being said, itmatters not if he comes to me. I'm not going to go out of my way to seek him out.” Charles sighedlightly. He knew it would be like this. At this time. Charles's cell phone rang. He answered the phone,his expression solemn. “Alright, I've got it.” Charles then hung up. Very slowly, he stood. Kathleenlooked at him. “What's wrong?” “There has finally been news about Wyatt. I'm going to check itout,” said Charles icily. "We've been looking for him for almost half a year, and he finally emerged.”“Do you need me to accompany you?” Kathleen asked. “No.” Charles shook his head. “They just sawhim, and they may not be able to replace him. I'm leaving.” “Alright.” Kathleen got up and escorted himout. Charles got in the car and drove away. Kathleen then returned to the villa, and then went backto the room to rest. The next day, Kathleen went off to the company for work as usual. She was verybusy that morning. When it was almost noon, Kathleen received a call from an unknown number.She frowned. Who is this? This was her new mobile phone number, so not many people knew it.Both her old phone and the number were with Samuel. Honestly, why hasn't he returned it to meyet? Does he want to use my phone perpetually now? Or perhaps, this is his new number? “Hello?”Kathleen answered the phone. “It's me.” Ashley's voice came from the other end of the line.Kathleen did not plan on speaking. In fact, she'd made up her mind to hang up the moment shenoticed who it was. “Kathleen, I know you don't want to hear my voice, but I have something veryimportant to tell you,” Ashley said quietly. “Are you willing to meet me?” “Is there anything you can'tsay on the phone?” sneered Kathleen. “I'd rather not waste my time looking at your plastic face.”Plastic? Ashley was shocked. Of course, she had not gotten any cosmetic surgery. Her face was asnatural as it could get. Ashley calmed down before speaking. “Perhaps you're scared after all.However, if you don't meet me, you will regret it.” Sighing, Kathleen pinched the bridge of her nose“Where?” “I'm in the coffee shop by your company now.” Ashley smiled faintly. “I'll wait for you.”After speaking, she hung up the phone. Kathleen stood up and walked out of her office. She exitedthe building, then proceeded toward the cafe mentioned by Ashley. It was lunchtime. The cafe wascrowded. She noticed that some of the employees in her company were dining there too. Kathleen'sexpression was cold. So, this is how she wants to play it? She saw Ashley sitting in the booth by thewindow. She walked over, taking her time. Ashley narrowed her eyes. In front of her was a glass ofhot milk. “You came rather quickly.” Kathleen sat down. “If you have something to say, say it.” “Lookat this.” Ashley placed some test results in front of her.
