A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 359

Useless Apology

Since Caleb became Aaron’s enemy, the latter had faced a lot of problems from Lewis Enterprises in
the mall.

Aaron had also mentioned that he and Finn were not the same.

However, Caleb just did not listen to him.

Luckily, Samuel was there.

Otherwise, Aaron would have been put in a tight spot.

Even so, Felix did not bother about those at all.

Every day, he was only busy figuring out ways for them to accept Astrid.

That was because he was afraid that no one would take care of Christopher if they passed away.

However, Felix was just being naïve.

If they passed away, there would be no one to supervise Astrid, and there was no way they would let
her continue to take care of Christopher.

Seriously, do people get naïve and foolish as they get older?

Ultimately, Emily was rendered utterly speechless by Felix.

She did not want to stay together with him anymore.

She was afraid that once Astrid had malicious intentions, everyone from the Morris family would be in
deep trouble.



Downstairs, Felix thought that the incident was related to Kathleen.

He had always looked down on Kathleen just because she was a divorcee.

Who knows what Kathleen said to Emily that Emily’s thinking of moving out?

Felix was infuriated at that moment.

Once he turned around and returned to his room, he took out his phone and called Astrid.

Since he had no other solutions, he could only start with Astrid.

After all, Felix still could not believe that Astrid would be so cruel to hurt Aaron.

Perhaps the news that Emily got was fake. It is not real.

Once Astrid received Felix’s call and listened to his story, she raised her eyebrows.

Gizem is Kathleen? Kathleen is Gizem? Isn’t Kathleen dead? How could she still be alive? Not only
that, but she even became Gizem?

Astrid’s face turned pale. “Old Mr. Morris, what did Kathleen say?”

“I don’t know what Kathleen told Emily. However, when we were having meals earlier, she said she
wants to move out,” Felix replied displeasedly.

Upon hearing that, Astrid froze.

What? They want to move out? Then I can’t meet Christopher anymore.

Astrid knew that Emily hated her and was reluctant to let her meet Christopher frequently.

Despite that, she still insisted on visiting Christopher because she could never allow him to wake up.



Once Christopher woke up, everything she did would be exposed.

Therefore, she could not let them move out.

If Kathleen found ways to treat Christopher and bring him back to consciousness, everything would be
over for Astrid.

Hence, Astrid panicked. “Old Mr. Morris, don’t worry. I will go over later and help you persuade Emily.”

“All right. Come quickly,” Felix answered.

“Okay. I’ll go over right away,” Astrid said softly.

After the call ended, she departed immediately.

That darned Kathleen! If it wasn’t for her, why would Emily want to move away? I don’t have any other
choice left.

If Christopher woke up, all her schemes would be exposed, and she would definitely be imprisoned.

Hence, she would never allow that to happen.

At that moment, the only solution that she could think of was to poison Christopher to death.

That would then solve her problems once and for all!

Half an hour later, Astrid arrived at the Morris residence.

She was so anxious to the point that she went straight to the second floor without greeting Felix.

When she entered the room, she found no one in it.

Christopher was lying sideways with his back facing her.



She then took out a poisonous needle hidden in her bag.

As she walked to the end of the bed, she grabbed Christopher’s toes and tried to inject the needle into
the toe web space.

“Astrid!” Kathleen suddenly shouted her name.

Hearing that, Astrid immediately froze.

Turning around sharply, she looked toward the door.

At the same time, Christopher’s imposter sat up on the bed, startling Astrid.

The person on the bed was not Christopher; it was Charles.

Not wasting any time, Charles grabbed Astrid’s arm and snatched the poisonous needle over from her.

Astrid’s face turned as white as a sheet. “Why are you guys here?”

“What did you want to do?” Kathleen glared at Astrid coldly.

“Nothing!” Astrid tried to talk her way out of this. “Why are you guys here? Where is Christopher?”

She pursed her lips as she pondered. They cannot do anything to me if I don’t admit it.

At that moment, Aaron and Emily appeared at the door, both staring at her icily.

Taking the needle in Charles’ hand, Kathleen snorted, “What is this?”

Astrid replied guiltily, “I don’t know!”

“You don’t know?” Kathleen smirked. “Astrid, there are surveillance cameras here. Say, you took out
this poisonous needle and tried to inject it into Christopher’s toe web space, right?”



“No! You’re spewing nonsense!” Astrid denied. “This is just a normal needle!”

“Charles, please hold on to her,” Kathleen instructed.

Hearing that, Charles grabbed Astrid’s arms and pressed her against the table.

“Let me go!” Astrid struggled. “What are you guys trying to do? My grandpa will never let all of you get
away with this!”

Holding the poisonous needle, Kathleen stated, “Since you said this is just a normal needle, then let me
inject it into you. Let’s see if it’s indeed a normal one.”

Scrutinizing Astrid for a while, Kathleen grabbed the latter’s head and aimed the needle at Astrid’s
eyes. “I’ll inject it into your eyes, then.”

“No! Stop! Let go of me!” Astrid was extremely terrified at that moment.

“Don’t worry. If it’s just an ordinary needle, you’ll only be blind at most.” Kathleen smiled resolutely as
she continued, “If it’s a poisonous needle, then you’ll be dead.”

Seeing the needle getting closer and closer to Astrid’s eyes, she shut her eyes tightly. “This is a
poisonous needle! Stop!”

Kathleen stopped before demanding, “You better make this clear!”

“This is a poisonous needle,” Astrid wailed.

“So you were the one who poisoned Christopher?” Kathleen questioned sternly.

Astrid did not reply as she started trembling and sobbing.



“How dare you cry now!” Emily was infuriated. “You have no right to cry at all when you’re the one who
caused my son to be in this situation! You son of a b*tch!”

Emily had never cursed before, but this time, Astrid truly filled her with immense wrath.

Aaron’s matured and elegant face darkened in an instant.

How dare Astrid do this!

“I’m sorry.” Astrid sobbed aggrievedly.

“What’s the use of apologizing now!” Emily shouted.

Kathleen tried to calm Emily down.

Staring at Astrid, she queried, “What happened to Christopher that day?”

“I don’t know.” Astrid avoided Kathleen’s intense gaze.

Although Kathleen sounded soft and casual, she still sent shivers down Astrid’s spine.

“Still not telling the truth?” Kathleen wiggled the silver needle in her hand.

Seeing that, Astrid bit her lip before uttering, “That year when Christopher went to Smealand, I followed
him there too.”

Kathleen raised a brow. “Continue.”

“I followed him to the hotel and tried to seduce him.” At that, Astrid blushed, but she continued,
“However, he did not fall for me. Instead, he chased me out of his room. He was going back home the
next day. I was too anxious at that time, so I found someone to kidnap him to force him to… You
know… Unexpectedly, a car accident ensued.”



Upon hearing that, Emily was furious. “So it was you!”

She rushed over and slapped Astrid hard.

Kathleen gestured for Charles to let go of Astrid.

Emily was truly infuriated.

She was unrelenting with her slaps on Astrid’s face and body to vent the anger within her.

Why does such a shameless woman like her exist!
