Kathleen was shocked that those words actually came out of Caleb’s mouth,
Caleb took her hand and placed it around his arm. “Let’s go, my future girlfriend.”
Kathleen was dumbfounded, but she still followed him down the stairs anyway.
They got into the car and left.
The banquet between Kathleen and Caleb was about some company’s thirtieth anniversary
All of the prominent figures in Jadeborough were present.
Kathleen knew that she would bump into members of the Macari family and the Morris family there,
She was a little nervous.
“Don’t worry. I’m here,” Caleb assured her casually. “I won’t let anyone pick on you.”
Kathleen sighed. “Don’t interrupt if anyone from the Macarl and the Morris family comes to talk to me.”
“Got it.” Caleb nodded.
She didn’t know what to do with him anymore.
“Kate.”
Just as she finished speaking, Kathleen heard a very familiar voice.
“Hello, Mr. Macari.” Kathleen turned around and saw Calvin walking over.
“I didn’t expect to see you here,” Calvin said with a hall-smile.
“Hello, Mr. Macari,” Caleb greeted with a bow.
“There’s no need to be so polite, Mr. Lewis. I’m no longer in charge of Macarl Group and have handed
it over to Samuel,” Calvin said with a falnt smile.
“Everything?” Kathleen was stunned,
Calvin nodded.
Wouldn’t he feel worn out? Kathleen thought,
“He doesn’t have much to do except for work anyway.” Calvin’s smile had deep meaning behind it
“That’s right. Focusing on work can help someone to forget a lot of things,” Caleb replied
Kathleen quirked an eyebrow and glanced at him.
Caleb merely smiled in response.
When Calvin noticed the interaction between the two, he sighed inwardly

“Mi Macan’ Kathleen poused for a briel moment. “Samuel’s body lon’t doing well ll might bulad for ha
health if you give luni loo triuchi lo do
“There’s no use in telling me that. I can’t stop him at allo Calvin was also very helpless about Samuel’s
attitude. “You know how stubborn he is. No one can ever make him change his mind.”
Except for you, Kathleen.
Kathleen pursed her lips. “I’ve already been separated from Samuel, Mr. Macari.”
Calvin looked at her deeply while his expression remalned stoic. “You’re right. It was Samuel’s fault in
the beginning. Don’t worry about it, Kate. Every life has its own ending. To be fair, ever since both of
you have split up, his well-being has nothing to with you anymore. Whether to die or to live will be
according to Samuel’s own wishes.”
Caleb sneered from the side.
What an old bastard. He knows that Kathleen’s soft-hearted. That’s why he’s using this to pressure her.
Kathleen probably thinks that he’s not blaming her at all.
“You’re right, Mr. Macari. I don’t have any other solutions as well.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I no longer
have anything to do with him.”
Calvin rernained silent.
Sure enough, Kathleen had been hurt too much.
He had asked Tyson about what happened, and the latter told him everything.
Even so, Kathleen remained unfazed.
However, she couldn’t be blamed.
If it weren’t for Samuel’s negligence, Nicolette’s plan wouldn’t have succeeded.
Kathleen nearly died because of that.
What was even more dreadful was that she lost her babies.
The Macari family had no right to force Kathleen to stay with Samuel to save him.
Nevertheless, he was still Samuel’s father. He could still help him a little.
But he could only do so much.
“Mi Macari, I’ll be bringing Kathleen to meet the others, Caleb sald as he led her away.
If he continued to allow Kathleen to talk with Calvin, she might change her mind.
Calvin smiled coldly Caleb sure is no fool as well
Caleb brought Kathleen to the other side lo greet the other guests.
However, they didn’t expect to burn into Felix
when I lex notored that Kathleen was slanding beside Caleb, his eyes glimted coldly

“I didn’t expect you to move on so quickly, Ms. Johnson,” Felix said while his words held a different
meaning.
Kathleen remained silent.
“There was nothing real between her and Christopher anyway. I remember that you, Old Mr. Morris,
had made a big fuss about it. However, she doesn’t even want your grandson anymore. What are you
being so cynical for?” Caleb’s words were as sharp as a knife.
Felix’s expression darkened.
Apart from the Macari family and the Morris family in Jadeborough, there was the Lewis family,
No one dared to challenge these three prominent families.
Moreover, each of these three families didn’t like each other at all.
Caleb wasn’t afraid of Felix, and the latter was equally so.
Vivian only looked at Samuel as an enemy in some way.
Kathleen looked at Felix coldly. “You were the one who started all of this mess, Felix. It doesn’t matter
that you’re 70, for you are still as shameless as ever.”
She hated him down to the bone.
The only reason why she was willing to tolerate him was because of Christopher and Emily.
Regardless, Felix was still ungrateful.
Kathleen continued to stare at Felix with a hostile look in her eyes, but he didn’t have a hint of
awkwardness on his face at all.
“We’ll make a move for now.” Caleb, however, smiled lovingly at Kathleen.
Upon speaking, he brought her away.
Just as Kathleen turned around, she saw a figure dash across the entrance.
She furrowed her eyebrows at what she saw.
“I’m going to the restroom, Caleb.” Kathleen let go of him and turned around to leave.
Caleb frowned slightly.

Kathleen ran out and looked around her surroundings. She quickly walked over to the restroom.
Just as she neared it, she saw Samuel leaning against the wall.
He was propping himself with one hand and covering his mouth with the other as he coughed nonstop
Kathleen walked over to him only to see blood dripping out from the gaps between Samuel’s fingers
She tumed to walk into the ladies’ room to take some tissues out to wipe his hand
Samuel looked at her blankly.
At that moment, Kathleen heard the voices of some ladies walking toward them.
If they were spotted together, the ladies would definitely spread the news around.
After thinking for a moment, she quickly dragged Samuel into a small room at the side.
The room was actually a lounge, and there was also a small restroom located inside.
Kathleen dragged Samuel into the restroom and turned on the water faucet.
Samuel started coughing out blood onto the sink.
Kathleen was dumbfounded at the sight.
Why has his condition worsened?
She raised her arm and patted his back lightly. “Why did you come if your condition has worsened?”
she scolded him.
Samuel’s voice was hoarse after so much coughing. “I have to come. There’ve been a lot of rumors
about my health. You know that there are a lot of people eyeing the Macari family. If I don’t come today,
these people will work together to bring us down.”
“What can you possibly do by showing up? Are you going to ignore your health?” Kathleen was furious.
Samuel washed his hands and used them to bring water to his mouth.
He had to gargle many times before he managed to get rid of the blood.
Kathleen brought a towel over for him to wipe his mouth.
She then grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.
“Did you take the medicine I gave you?” She furrowed her eyebrows.
Samuel shook his head.
Because he was afraid that she would get angry at him, he quickly clarified, “I didn’t have the time to go
and get it.”
“You have so many people working for you. Why didn’t you ask them to take it instead?’ She frowned.
Samuel remained silent.
“Apart from the medicine that I gave you, did you take any other pills?” Kathleen asked.
He shook his head.
“You’ve been poisoned,” Kathleen continued as she stared at him. “What have you eaten lately?”
“All I had was my mother’s cooking,” Samuel explained.
“What about an IV drip?” Kathleen bit her lip.
