Divorce Anxiety Chapter 227Chapter 227 See Your Face
Kathleen stared at Vanessa’s despicable face.
Her fair and delicate facial features were arranged into an impassive look as she said emotionlessly,
“Vanessa, I found a video online earlier. You can take a look first.”
Video?
Vanessa could not fathom Kathleen’s deliberate and secretive behavior.
“It wouldn’t take more than a few minutes of your time to watch the video.” Kathleen continued boring
her frosty eyes into Vanessa.
Vanessa’s face darkened.
She took out her phone and opened her Twitter application.
A notification sounded from the system, informing her of the availability of a piece of trending news.
She clicked the notification and saw the headlines: Vanessa Yoeger abusing her birth mother. What did
Vanessa Yoeger feed Old Mrs. Yoeger with? Zachary Yoeger and Vanessa Yoeger are inhumane.
novelbinVanessa panicked. What are these?
She proceeded to play the video.
Unexpectedly, those videos were footage of her and Zachary entering Frances’ room and feeding her
the slow-acting poison in the past few days.Her face fell. She placed down her phone and said through gritted teeth, “Kathleen, you’re so adept at
slandering others. I was merely feeding my mother her medications. How did that become a form of
abuse?”
“If you’re truly feeding an elderly her medications, do you need to do it while she was sleeping? Do you
need to force her mouth open and brutally have her gulped the content?” Kathleen questioned
Vanessa.
“That’s because she’s becoming foolish and was reluctant to take the medications. I did that for her
benefit because her health will further deteriorate if she doesn’t,” Vanessa replied righteously.
“For her benefit?” Kathleen fixated her piercing dark eyes on Vanessa. “Do you take everyone as
idiots?”
Vanessa remained indifferent.
“You haven’t seen the second video, right?” Kathleen reminded her.
Second video?
Vanessa lifted her phone and stared at the screen again. “This is not a video. Why would a video show
merely a black screen?”
“That’s right. That is not a video. It’s an audio recording. Aren’t you going to listen to it?” Kathleen
asked nonchalantly.
Vanessa hesitated briefly before she played the recording.
“Who are you to give away something that belongs to me? I will eliminate those who stand in my way,
including you—my mother. I will not let you go if you dare to hinder me. My abilities are not inferior toZachary’s, yet you are still reluctant to give me the Yoeder family’s assets. You are biased! Go on and
drink this poison. Only with your death can I finally inherit everything from the Yoeder family.”
Vanessa’s voice sounded from the audio recording.
Her face turned pale.
“Vanessa, if you are doubtful about the recording’s genuineness, feel free to get it authenticated by an
expert. But before you obtain any result, I will never let you meet with Old Mrs. Yoeger. You should just
give up on that idea,” Kathleen said coldly.
“Am I to take your word for prohibiting me from meeting with her? Who do you think you are?” Vanessa
bellowed.
Kathleen sneered. “Although my identity has yet to be confirmed by Old Mrs. Yoeger, my mother and
Old Mrs. Yoeger’s relationship is undeniable. It’s all right even if Old Mrs. Yoeger is not as sharp as
before because there is still another person who can verify my status.”
“Who is that? I’d like to see who the daredevil is!” Vanessa demanded furiously.
“Me.” Yasmine strode over from behind Vanessa.
The latter froze.
“Vanessa, I’ve told you to stop your stupid and meaningless actions. You are also well aware of
Kathleen’s identity, so what else are you planning to do?” Yasmine grimaced.
“Aunt Yasmine, these are not the truth!” Vanessa said in a hurry.
“Regardless of the authenticity, you can only meet with Mother after her condition stabilizes. You should
go back for now,” Yasmine said frostily.Vanessa bit her lip in indignation while glaring at Kathleen.
How did she lay her hands on those videos and audio recordings? She is unexpectedly capable. I’ve
truly undermined her resourcefulness.
Kathleen’s dark and cold eyes continued boring into Vanessa’s.
Vanessa snorted before turning on her heels to leave.
Nicolette was about to leave as well.
She gazed at Kathleen and smiled. “Aren’t you surprised that I’m here?”
Kathleen merely regarded her with a poker face. “I won’t be surprised even if you’re dead.”
Nicolette turned to look at Samuel with an amused expression. “I heard from the police that you were
the one who requested my release.”
A hint of fury flashed across Samuel’s eyes.
“You should quit playing those meaningless tricks, Nicolette. Don’t you find yourself laughable for
attempting to sow discord between Samuel and me when you don’t even understand our relationship?”
Kathleen piped up.
Nicolette was taken aback.
Their current relationship?
“You two got back together?” Nicolette asked through gritted teeth.
That was the least desirable outcome she hoped to see.Kathleen wore an unfathomable sneer. “What do you think?”
Nicolette’s expression changed drastically. “Impossible!”
There’s no way Kathleen will ever forgive Samuel. This is absolutely impossible!
Kathleen stared at her menacing and wrathful expression and said disdainfully, “It is exactly as you
think.”
“No way!” Nicolette’s face turned ashen.
“That’s the thing. You didn’t even grasp the situation, yet here you are, talking nonsense and turning
yourself into a joke. Don’t you think you’re pathetic?” Kathleen fixated her gaze on Nicolette.
Nicolette chewed on her lip.
Although Samuel’s affection toward her had evolved into hatred, that was not the case for Nicolette.
The love she had toward him did not waver, not to mention her desire to possess him.
Her mindset had even mutated to the extent of not allowing Kathleen to have Samuel even if she failed
to obtain him for herself.
Therefore, Kathleen’s words deeply provoked and unsettled Nicolette.
She could not accept the turns of events.
“Nicolette, you are released because Vanessa found a way to bail you out by saying you need medical
treatment. Do you really think I don’t know what you two are doing?” Kathleen uttered indifferently.
Nicolette glowered at her. “Why didn’t you stop us, then?”“If you remain in prison, you’ll be oblivious to all the news circulating outside. In that case, you won’t
know whatever is happening between Samuel and me. That will make me feel a lacking sense of
accomplishment. The best way to deal with people like you is to flaunt my achievements in front of you,
don’t you agree?” Kathleen looked at her in amusement.
Nicolette’s face darkened as she scoffed, “Kathleen, I thought you were a very simple-minded person.
Little did I anticipate you to be so cunning.”
“Simple-minded?” Kathleen chuckled. “I can be naïve and pure, but only when I’m around people I like
and trust. However, the only way to treat you is to be ruthless.”
Nicolette remained silent.
“Let’s go. I don’t want someone to start feeling hopelessly in love again when she sees your face,”
Kathleen said to Samuel.
Nicolette gritted her teeth in anger. “Kathleen!”
Samuel smirked. “Okay.”
Kathleen pushed open the door to Frances’ ward and entered, followed by Samuel and Yasmine.
Gemma was inside Frances’ ward at that moment. She had requested a transfer to take special care of
Frances because she knew Kathleen regarded Frances with utmost importance.
She could not rest assured if others were to attend to Frances.
“Gem, thank you for everything,” Kathleen said gratefully.
“There’s no need to thank me. Old Mrs. Yoeger will wake up in a while. I’ll leave first. You all have a
good chat.” Gemma grinned.With that, she strode out of the room.
