If so, shall wecall the police to capture that rascal?Wynnie: Let me drag someone in for questioning.With that,Calvin was dragged into the conversation.Calvin: Wow! Mom, you guys made a group chat behindmy back?Wynnie: Do you know what your son has done?Diana: Do you have any idea?She added astern-looking emoji behind that.Calvin: I don't know! I don't know anything! I'm on your side! I'mnot with that rascal'Wynnie: Mom, he got the code word correct. Looks like he’s really on ourteam.Calvin: I've always been on your side, okay?Kathleen could not help but laugh when she readtheir conversation.They were all so adorable. Wynnie: Have you checked the trending news?Calvin:Yes, I've seen them. I'm working on public relations.Wynnie: Are you guys trying to clear theirnames?Calvin: No. We want to skew the discussion in favor of Kate. We'll talk about how much shehas suffered the whole time she was supporting Samuel behind the scenes.Wynnie: Great! Keep itup! Whatever you do, remember that your son is in the wrong no matter what.Calvin: Got it,Wynnie! What about the crystal ornament that you broke last time? Are we blaming that onSamuel? We might as well make him the scapegoat for that too.Wynnie: Where's your dignity?Diana: It was probably thrown away along with his placenta.Calvin was renderedspeechless.Kathleen laughed her head off.It seemed that it was the Macari family's tradition formothers to pick on their sons.Wynnie: What does your son say about that?Calvin: I haven't beenable to get in touch with him.Wynnie: That rascal! Where could he have gone?Calvin: I'm alreadylooking. Wynnie: If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, I shall disown this son of mine.Calvin:Sure. Whatever you say, Wynnie.Wynnie: I really wonder what all this is about. I don't know ifNicolette harbors any ill will, and if she intends to bully our Kate.Diana: I dare her!Kathleen felt asurge of warmth in her heart when she read that.She sent a message: Grandma, Dad, Mom, I amsafe now.Wynnie: Where are you? Are you all right?Kathleen: I'm fine. That Twitter post was sent bymistake. I asked Samuel to check, but he told me that it hadn't been sent out.The group chat fellsilent. The other three were in deep thought. Sent by mistake? Kathleen even asked Samuel to check,but he didn't manage to replace out. How is that possible?Kathleen sent a message to Samuel: Did youreally not see the Twitter post that had been sent by mistake?Samuel: No.Kathleen frowned. Sheasked: Is there any way to remediate this?Samuel: Only if you can turn back time.Kathleen: I can't.So, what now?Samuel: What do you mean by that?Kathleen: Aren't you going to explain to them?Samuel: Why do I need to explain? Aren't we already a married couple?Kathleen: You see, theproblem is on your side. Won't Nicolette be furious with you when she sees that? If she’s mad atyou, you will vent on me. She does not want to be cannon fodder.Samuel: Have I ever vent on you?Kathleen: When have you not? Your temper has never been good, and now it's even worse!Samuelsent a emoji depicting confusion: Has my temper been bad in the past?Kathleen did not want to talkto him anymore.She sat on the couch and sank into deep thought. Why didn’t Samuel delete theTwitter post after she had sent it by mistake? What was he thinking?Meanwhile, at the hospital,Nicolette saw the trending news on Twitter.She exploded with rage.Why is this happening?Shethought that Kathleen and Samuel would divorce in secret just like how they had gotten married insecret too.No one was supposed to know. No one would ever know.After that, Samuel would forceKathleen to donate her bone marrow to cure Nicolette.Then, Samuel would marryNicolette.Nicolette would deal with the other members of the Macari family at a later time.As longas Samuel loved her.As long as Samuel had her back, she would not care at all. At most, she wouldlimit Samuel's interactions with Diana and the rest. That way, Samuel would truly be hers, and hersalone.However, when Samuel publicly announced his relationship with Kathleen, all the glory thatSamuel had given Nicolette the night before vanished without a trace.On the contrary, Kathleen,who had not revealed herself the entire time, became the biggest winner.She wondered where theMacari family had gotten ghostwriters from.They would rather trample on Samuel in exchange forKathleen's honor without discrediting her one bit.Currently, some netizens empathized withKathleen. Others commended her.Someone had even posted a picture of her and Samuel at thebirthday banquet at the Yoeger residence the day before. They proceeded to mock her for being thehomewrecker.Unable to stomach her anger, Nicolette gave Samuel a phone call.In the most pitifulvoice, she asked, “Samuel, what is all this about?"Samuel explained casually, “Nothing much.Kathleen and I are in a relationship. It's that simple.” Then, what about me?” Nicolette cried."Samuel, tell me. Who am I to you?”In a hoarse voice, Samuel replied, “I'm sorry, but I can't divorceher."Nicolette froze. What did he say?"Don’t worry. I will always take care of you. I will continue toassist you in your treatment. Rest well. Don't overthink things,” he added.With that, he hung up thephone.Nicolette was dumbfounded.Did he mean that he would never divorce Kathleen? I've put inso much effort, and in the end this is what I get?She felt like calling Kathleen to question her onwhat she had done.However, she knew that doing so would expose her, so she could not dothat.She totally did not expect Kathleen to be so patient.Nicolette also could not believe thatKathleen could be this indifferent even after the latter found out that Nicolette herself had sleptwith Samuel.Could it be that she only loves Samuel for his money? Haha! It's fine. Samuel says he'lltake care of me forever. That means he won't ignore me. I still have a chance! Kathleen, you won'tget to be cocky for long.Nicolette still had a spot in Samuel's heart. No one could replace her.Next,she needed to destroy the relationship between Kathleen and Samuel completely.Nicolette took outher phone and dialed a number. “I want you to sneak into the ward tonight and unplug Benjamin“slife support.”The other party replied, “That man is already in a vegetative state.”Nicolette chuckledcoldly. “I don't care what he is. I only want him dead! Kathleen and Samuel's relationship can onlybe destroyed if Benjamin dies. One more thing. You have to leak this out. Say that I got people todo the dirty work, but don't let her catch you.”"You are playing with fire. What if Samuel doesn't careabout you anymore?” asked the other party.Nicolette said confidently, “No, he won't. Samuel willnot be cruel to me. He won't believe that I'm behind this. The more Kathleen holds me accountable,the uglier their relationship will get as it tears apart!“This was the only way she could have achance.The other party replied after a pause, “Okay. Got it.”
