A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 286

I Want Your Kiss

Kathleen didn’t want to talk to him.

Venting his problems to Nicolette, huh? What a disgusting man!

Without sparing him a glance, she walked past him.

“Tyson, clean up the mess,” ordered Samuel.

Tyson nodded. “All right.”

Samuel then chased after Kathleen and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.

“Let go! Are you worried about Nicolette because I’m going to kill her?” There was a murderous look in
Kathleen’s eyes as she spoke.

Samuel froze. Then, he looked at her coldly and questioned, “What are you talking about? If you want
her to die, I can shoot her right now.”

Kathleen scoffed. “You seem unwilling, though. You even got her the robotic exoskeleton.”

“What robotic exoskeleton?” Samuel asked calmly.

“Samuel, why are you acting dumb?” Kathleen snapped. She felt extremely frustrated as she stared at
his handsome and noble features. “If you didn’t tell Nicolette that my brother needs Melting Ice Grass,
how would she think of using that to lure me here?”

Samuel’s face darkened. “I didn’t even contact her. If you hadn’t held me back that day, she would have
been dead by now.”



Samuel knew that Kathleen had spared Nicolette’s life because she didn’t want him to face a lawsuit.

Now that Kathleen was accusing him, he felt upset.

“You’re the only person I told about Charles getting poisoned. Even in the Blissful Sect, not many
people know about it. How did Nicolette find out?” Kathleen demanded.

Feeling angry, Samuel stared at her frostily.

He was upset that Kathleen didn’t trust him.

However, he couldn’t do anything about it.

He knew that Charles was the person Kathleen cared about the most at the moment.

She would often lose her rationality when Charles was involved.

“Let go! I’m going to get back at Nicolette!” Kathleen bit her lip as she glared at him. There was nothing
but coldness in her expression.

Yet, Samuel still wouldn’t let go.

“She’s not here anymore,” he stated.

Kathleen was taken aback. After a short silence, she retorted, “I can look for her at the Yoeger
residence.”

“Five minutes before I came here, Nicolette texted me that you were having fun here,” Samuel said
grimly.

Having fun?



“If it were not for my fighting skills, I would be suffering right now,” Kathleen said with annoyance.

“I asked someone to find her whereabouts, but she had left.”

Hearing that, Kathleen furrowed her brows. “She left the country?”

“Yes. Someone is helping her in secret,” Samuel said as he stared at Kathleen’s face.

The latter remained silent. She couldn’t believe Nicolette had actually managed to escape.

“Do you think I’m helping her?” After asking that, Samuel held his breath, waiting for Kathleen’s answer.

“How could she know so many things if it were not for you?”

“Have you never considered that the problem might be lying within the Blissful Sect?” Samuel’s
expression was hard to read.

Upon realizing that possibility, Kathleen clenched her jaw. “Then that old man must be asking for death!
Regardless, I have to visit the Yoeger residence first.”

She broke free from Samuel’s hold and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Samuel hugged her from behind.

His action attracted strange looks from the many people passing by.

Biting her lip, Kathleen growled, “Let go of me!”

“Shouldn’t you apologize for falsely accusing me?” Samuel grumbled unhappily.

“But you have no evidence to prove your innocence,” Kathleen countered, turning her head to look into
Samuel’s dark eyes.



Samuel scoffed. “What if I prove that I have neither contacted nor helped her?”

“Then I’ll apologize to you,” Kathleen replied solemnly.

Samuel smiled. “I don’t need your apology.”

His words brought a frown to Kathleen’s face. “What do you want me to do, then?”

“I want a kiss from you.” When he said that, his lips curled up further into a smirk.

Kathleen bit her lip once again and elbowed Samuel in the chest. “We’ll see after you prove your
innocence.”

With that, she headed outside.

When she noticed Samuel following her, she asked, “Why are you following me?”

“I’m going to the Yoeger residence too. Since we’re heading for the same place, let’s go together.”

“I have my own car.” Kathleen didn’t want to be in the same car as him.

“Don’t you know we have to lessen our carbon footprint?” Taking her hand, Samuel led her to his car.

“Samuel, don’t touch me! Do you have a death wish?” Kathleen blurted in a panic.

She was certain those people were still around.

“I don’t have a death wish. After what happened at the castle, I have no intention to die at all,” Samuel
said with a mocking smile.

He had to live on and find out why Kathleen was so resistant to him.

However, he had a feeling that she was doing that to protect him.



“That’s great to hear.” Kathleen forced a smile, but deep inside, she was relieved.

You have to live a good life, Samuel. We’re no longer the same now.

Upon arriving at the Yoeger residence, Kathleen and Samuel got out of the car.

Immediately, they sensed something was amiss.

“From what I remember, the Yoeger residence is always heavily guarded. How come there’s no one at
all tonight?” Kathleen pointed out.

“It’s not just that. In the past, the Yoeger family’s butler or housekeeper would be standing here once
they saw visitors coming,” Samuel added.

He’s right.

“Let’s take a look inside. Stay alert,” Kathleen said.

Stepping forward, Kathleen raised the gun in her hand.

Meanwhile, Samuel narrowed his eyes, an ominous look fleeting across them.

The mansion’s door was left unlatched, revealing a crack.

Carefully, Kathleen pushed it open.

The smell of blood immediately filled her nose.

She grabbed Samuel’s arm and whispered, “It’s dangerous in there. I’ll go in and take a look. You stay
here and wait for me.”

Samuel raised his brows upon hearing her words. “Do you think I need your protection?”



Does she think I’m useless?

Kathleen pursed her lips. “Surely you’re not as good as me right now.”

“Do you want to give it a try?” Samuel responded, wrapping his arm around her thin waist.

“Scr*w you,” Kathleen snapped.

Does he actually think now is a good time to joke?

At that moment, a hoarse voice sounded. “Save me…”

Kathleen was stunned.

The voice sounded very much like Zachary’s.

Without a second thought, the two of them walked into the mansion.

They were greeted by the sight of Zachary lying in a pool of blood, struggling.

“Mr. Yoeger, what happened to you?” Kathleen asked with a frown.

“Nicolette came with a group of men and attacked us,” Zachary answered weakly.

Nicolette?

“Let me turn on the lights.” Samuel strode over to the wall and found the switch.

Click!

With a click, the entire living room was illuminated.

Aside from Zachary, there were two housekeepers lying on the ground by the entrance to the kitchen.



Samuel checked on them and found that they were already dead.

He quickly whipped out his phone and asked Tyson to come over.

“Nicolette took Vanessa away. Yareli is upstairs. Please go and check on her,” Zachary said anxiously.

“Let me go and check,” Samuel offered. He was worried that someone else would be upstairs.

Kathleen knitted her brows. “Let’s go together. Are Tyson and the others almost here?”

Samuel nodded.

“Don’t worry. This man won’t die so soon,” Kathleen said.

“Let’s go.”

With that, the two of them headed upstairs.

As Zachary watched their backs, a dark look flashed across his eyes.

When Kathleen and Samuel arrived on the second floor, they heard noises coming from one of the
rooms.

They walked over and entered the room.

Upon seeing the switch, Kathleen turned on the lights.

“Ahh!” Yareli’s scream pierced through the air. “Don’t kill me, please. I beg of you! Spare my life!”
