Divorce Anxiety Chapter 438Chapter 438 They Pay A Princely Sum
“I know.” Samuel nodded.
Kathleen knitted her brows. “Her aunt is Luna. Don’t you think that’s too big of a coincidence? We’ve
found that Luna’s the culprit, and now her niece is your savior. It’s as if Ashley will surely get involved if
we want to get back at Luna. Things will get super complicated.”
“I understand your concerns. Don’t worry. I won’t make any mistakes again,” he promised.
It wasn’t easy for me to be with Kathleen again. How could I possibly make the same mistakes as in
the past? Then again, Kathleen’s right. I find Ashley suspicious too.
“Go to sleep,” she said gently.
“Mm.” He shut his eyes and placed her hand on his chest. “Kate, the only feeling I have toward Ashley
is gratitude. You’re right. She did come looking for me, and I told her I could give her money and other
monetary forms of repayment. I told her that’s all I can offer.”
Kathleen’s eyes, which were initially closed, fluttered open. “Did she ask for other forms of repayment?”
Samuel remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
She raised a brow. “Interesting. What did she want?”
“She wants to be my little sister,” he admitted.
Kathleen was dumbstruck.
“I didn’t agree to it,” he muttered.In fact, there was no way he would agree to it.
novelbinShe turned over and stared fixedly at him. “I think Ashley’s up to no good. If she really makes a move,
will you—”
“I won’t kill her. But if she messes with you, I’ll never forgive her,” Samuel said grimly.
Kathleen sighed with relief inwardly. “Okay.”
After saying that, she shut her eyes. “I hope she can accept reality.”
The next morning, Samuel received a phone call.
“Okay. Got it. Go back to the manor and help me pack my luggage,” he instructed sternly.
Kathleen was awakened by his voice. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Nicholas. He’s gotten into some kind of trouble at Smealand. I’ll need to go there personally to
settle it. I might stay there for a week.” He hugged her.
That long?
She nodded. “Okay. Stay safe.”
Samuel planted a kiss on her forehead. “Mm. You should get more sleep. I’ll wash up and leave when
I’m done.”
“All right.”
With that, the man got up and went to wash up.
Kathleen lay back on the bed, but she could not fall asleep.A moment later, Samuel was prepared to leave.
“Wait!” She walked up to him and slipped a talisman into his coat pocket. “Samuel, this talisman has a
special pill. If you get tricked by someone, swallow it. It’ll help you.”
He held her hand. “All right. Don’t worry. I’ll come back in one piece.”
“Mm.” She nodded.
Samuel gave her a hug, pecked her red lips, then left.
Kathleen sighed silently and watched him leave the mansion.
Unable to fall back to sleep, she went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast.
That day, Gemma came downstairs too.
However, her complexion was poor.
“How are you feeling?” Kathleen asked in concern.
Gemma felt her forehead and said, “I think I’m down with a slight fever.”
Kathleen frowned. “Are you still going to the hospital, then?”
“Yes!” Gemma answered confidently, for she had made the preparations. “Kate, can you accompany
me to pack up my things after visiting the hospital?”
“Sure.”
Upon arriving at the hospital, Gemma went straight to the director’s office to hand in her letter of
resignation.The director tried to convince her to stay.
“I’ve really thought this through. Please let me resign,” she pleaded with a helpless expression.
The director sighed and responded reluctantly, “Very well.”
“Thank you.” Gemma turned around and exited the room.
Upon exiting the director’s office, she said to Kathleen, “I’m going to bid farewell to my colleagues.”
“Sure. Go ahead,” Kathleen said blandly.
Hence, Gemma went off to look for her colleagues while Kathleen strolled around the hospital grounds.
“Ms. Johnson!” Rory greeted when she finally found Kathleen.
“Why are you here?” asked Kathleen in surprise.
“I’ve got a document that needs your signature.”
Nodding, Kathleen picked up the pen and signed with a flourish.
“How could it be her?” Rory exclaimed out of the blue.
“Who?” Kathleen raised her head.
Rory pointed at the silhouette that was moving about in a hurry. “That woman over there. Her name’s
Marjory Garner. She used to be my mentor at the bodyguard training institution.”
Kathleen was surprised. “Oh? She’s so young.”
“I know, right? She’s really incredible. In fact, she became our mentor when she was in her teens,”
Rory explained. “But why is she here in the country?”Kathleen sensed Rory’s curiosity. “You should greet her if you want to.”
The latter shook her head. “It’s all right. She’s taught many students. Besides, she often gives lessons
to rich kids. I bet she’s forgotten all about me.”
Kathleen fell silent.
“Anyway, I shall get going, Ms. Johnson.” Rory picked up the documents and left.
Kathleen nodded in response.
Just as Rory left, Kathleen recalled there was an important document lying on her office desk. Thus,
she went over to get it.
Along the way, she happened to pass by Miley’s ward.
The ward door was wide open, and Marjory could be seen standing in front of Miley’s bed.
The two looked extremely serious.
Right then, Kathleen recalled Rory’s words.
Marjory gave lessons to rich kids. Does that mean she taught Miley before too?
Quietly, she stood in a corner and listened to their conversation.
“Looks like your wish is coming true,” Marjory commented coolly.
“Yes. Soon, he’ll be mine.” There was a hint of smugness in Miley’s voice.
“Whatever floats your boat,” Marjory responded flatly.“Ms. Garner, let’s not keep in touch from today onward. I’m afraid he might be suspicious,” Miley said
concernedly.
“Don’t worry. I’m only here to check up on you. You’re my student, after all.”
“Did something happen? Why are you back in the country?” Miley asked with curiosity.
“Yeah. I’m here to work as the bodyguard of Zeller Group’s owner’s daughter.”
“Bodyguard?” Miley raised her brow. “All the best, Ms. Garner.”
“Oh, well. They pay a princely sum,” Marjory admitted straightforwardly.
Miley thought for a moment before asking, “Are you guys planning to make a move against Kathleen
Johnson?”
“Miley, it’s best not to know too much about some things,” Marjory reminded softly.
Miley grinned. “Ms. Garner, I won’t get involved. But Kathleen is Gemma’s best friend. I’m afraid
Gemma might attack me. Of course, if you can eliminate her, then I won’t have to worry about
anything.”
“You should rest well.” Marjory looked unwilling to talk anymore. “I’ll get going.”
With that, she walked to the door.
Seeing that, Kathleen quickly left the corridor.
Meanwhile, Marjory stepped out of Miley’s room and went downstairs.
Kathleen frowned deeply.So, there’s something fishy about Miley’s attempt to jump off the building?
When Kathleen returned to her office, she quickly dialed Rory’s number.
“Rory, if I tell you to jump from the third floor, are you able to make sure your head won’t be injured?”
Rory was taken aback, but she answered right away, “Sure, as long as I’m not afraid to break the rest
of my body. During the jump, I’ll wrap my hands around my head, adjust my posture, and make sure
my legs land first.”
