Chapter 464 Scared of You

Kathleen scoffed. “Slander? What did I slander you for? I only said that you knew Marjory. How isthat slander? Oh, is there something wrong with Marjory?”Miley bit her lip in silence, as she had noway to retort what Kathleen had said.Kathleen shot a cold look at Richard. “You can either replace outthe truth or stay as an idiot. It's your choice.”With that, she strode off.Richard frowned deeply,having a feeling that Kathleen was hinting at something.”Richard, don't be tricked by her. She's justbitter about Gemma’s death,” Miley uttered tentatively."Who is Marjory?” he asked, knitting hisbrows.”S-She...” Miley stammered. “She's a friend of mine.”Is she admitting that she knowsMarjory?“What does she do for a living?” Richard was still frowning.Miley paused for a while beforeanswering, “She was hired by my parents to teach me self-defense tactics in the past. I was herstudent, but I was too pampered so I quit halfway. Then, she left my house."Richard stared at herquietly.”Richard, let's get inside. The doctor is waiting for us,” Miley reminded, trying to change thetopic.Richard then pushed her into the hospital, expressionless.Miley clenched her fists

secretly. Kathleen's presence is a threat to me!Meanwhile, Kathleen returned to the mansion andsaw Rory taking out an ointment from the first aid kit."Rory, what happened?” Kathleen walkedover.l..." Rory was at a loss for words Kathleen snatched the ointment from her. “Where did you gethurt? I'll help you to apply it on you.”Rory then took off her top, revealing a severely bruised spot onher shoulder.”How did you get this?” Kathleen was shocked.”l had a brawl with Marjory,” Roryreplied in a low voice. “She was my teacher, so...""You didn't win?" Kathleen cocked her brow."Wetied.” There's nothing to be ashamed of, then. Luckily, she didn’t pin you down on the floor andbeat you to a pulp,” Kathleen comforted.Rory was rendered speechless.Kathleen's curiosity waspiqued. “Why did you start fighting with her?” she continued.”"When we were secretly trackingAshley, she noticed us. Dr. Johnson, Marjory is now Ashley's personal bodyguard. It's quite strangefor her to provide protection to Ashley,” Rory explained.”Oh?” Kathleen raised her brow. “Howso?"Rory answered, “Marjory is very capable. Hiring her to be a bodyguard is costly. If Ashley didn'tdo anything, why would the Zeller family hire such a good bodyguard for her? Is it because theyknow someone would seek revenge on Ashley as she had done something wrong?’Kathleenunderstood what Rory was implying.If Ashley was just trying to steal Samuel while he was stillsuffering from amnesia, no one would want her dead.Unless... she also did something else. In fact,I've always had a troubling question on my mind. I am not sure if my assumption is right, but I couldhave my surmise confirmed during the engagement ceremony. That's decided then.Kathleencontinued to apply the ointment on Rory. “Do you know Marjory well?"“Not really. She was just myteacher after all. We didn't really communicate with each other in private,” Rory elucidated Kathleennarrowed her eyes. “I have an idea. She poses a great threat to us. We should eliminate her as soonas possible.”"How should we do that?” Rory knitted her brow.After pondering for a moment,Kathleen replied, “I do have an idea, but I'll need your cooperation.”“Okay.” Rory nodded. “Whenshould we make our move?"“Tonight!” A hint of solemness emerged on Kathleen's beautiful face.“We can't delay this.”“Understood.” After the fight with Rory, Marjory went back home.She didn'texpect that Rory, her ex-student, had the same level of capability as herself.If it were in the past, shecould definitely outpower Rory and defeat her student easily, but now, they tied.Rory is not to beunderestimated, so I have to be careful.“You're back.” Lauren yawned as she came out of her room."What happened to your face?"“Nothing.” Marjory's pride didn't allow her to tell other people abouther draw with her ex-student.”I'm not being nosey.” Lauren spoke in a low voice. “It's fine if youdon't want to talk about it, but I just want to tell you that Kathleen will definitely do somethingduring Ashley's engagement ceremony. You'll need to keep her under control. Nothing can happento you at this critical juncture.””I know.” Marjory was unperturbed.Upon seeing her reaction, Laurendid not bother to speak more with Marjory.After that, Marjory went back to her room.If it wasn't formoney, I wouldn't have cared about this matter.Just then, her phone rang.She took her phone andfound that it was a message from Rory.Rory texted: See you at the warehouse at twelve o'clocktonight.Marjory replied: I'm not going.Rory: Then, I'll expose you.Marjory: What?Rory: Do you thinkI'm unaware of what you did for Miley? What do you think Kathleen would do to you if she knowswhat you had done?Marjory: What do you want?Rory: Meet me, and we shall fight

again!Marjory: FinelLeft with no choice, Marjory could only agree to Rory’s request.Her greatestworry was Rory giving the evidence she had to Kathleen or Richard. If that happened, Marjory knewshe would be in deep trouble. When midnight came, Marjory went to the abandoned warehouse.Themoment she stepped foot in that warehouse, a beam of light shone on her.Standing on a stack ofwooden boxes, Rory gazed down at Marjory from above.” knew you'd come,” Rory said. “Seems likeyou're scared that I'd leak your secret. As a teacher of a bodyguard training institution, you didn’tfulfill your duties to protect other people. Instead, you helped someone else to harm a person. Youviolated the rules of the institution. Your reputation will be tainted, and you will no longer be ateacher, let alone take on missions.”Marjory gritted her teeth. “Rory, there are many people like mein the institution. The higher-ups of the institution will just turn a blind eye to it."“Why did you comethen?"Marjory froze on the spot.Rory smiled inwardly. Kathleen is so smart! She's guessed itright."Come down, and let's have a duel!” Marjory was ready.Rory gave her a frosty smile. “We'll justhave a draw in the end. It's going to be boring, so there's someone else who wants to fightyou.”"Who is it?” Marjory furrowed her brows in confusion.”"Me.” Kathleen strode over from the side.She was wearing a black trench coat, looking cool and pretty.Marjory scoffed, “Are you kidding me?You?"Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “Are you scared?”“How ridiculous. Why would I be scared?”Marjory sneered, “I'll finish you off right here and save myself a lot of trouble.””Come on then.”Kathleen flashed a provoking half-smile.
