“I atoned for my sins.” Samuel placed his hand down. “I cut my stomach open myself.”
Nicolette paled. “H-Have you gone nuts?”
He responded icily, “I love her.”
Upon hearing that, she froze.
Slowly, he buttoned his shirt. “I’ll only love her this lifetime.”
Nicolette was at a loss for words as she stared at his handsome but expressionless face.
“Thus, I will never let you get away with this,” he added coolly. “I won’t let myself get away with this, too.”
“Ha!” Nicolette scoffed before hollering with all her might despondently.
“I’ve found a better place for you,” Samuel told her.
She gaped in disbelief. “You want to make things difficult for me!”
He met her gaze calmly. “Yes.”
“Ha! Samuel, you’re an extremely cruel man.” Nicolette stared at him quietly.
“I’m cruel to you only.” There was an indifferent look on his handsome face.
With that, he spun on his heels and went away.
“Let me leave, Samuel! I did save your life previously, didn’t I?” Nicolette roared at his retreating figure.
Alas, Samuel paid no heed to her.
After walking out of the mountain villa, he turned to Tyson. “Inform everyone to lower their guard on Nicolette.”
“Why, Mr. Macari?” Tyson was confused.
Samuel explained, “The Yoeger family wants to save her. Am I right? Let them achieve their goal.”
Tyson couldn’t wrap his mind around his employer’s decision.
“Nicolette’s is important to the Yoeger family,” Samuel revealed coldly. “Why would you think they want her back? So she could enjoy a lavish lifestyle?”
Suddenly, Tyson understood what he meant. “Mr. Macari, I’ve heard a rumor.”
“What is it?” Samuel asked flatly.
“It hasn’t been proven true,” Tyson explained. “I heard that Zachary suffers from kidney failure and needs a kidney transplant.”
Samuel sneered, “Oh, I see. You should know how to deal with this, right?”
Tyson couldn’t hide his surprise.
Nevertheless, he gave a curt nod. “Understood.”
“Let’s go.” Samuel turned around and entered his car.
Tyson got to the driver’s seat and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Mr. Macari, you look unwell. Is your gastric problem acting up again?”
“I’m fine.” Samuel shut his eyes and leaned against the car seat. “Let’s go.”
“Mr. Macari, where are we heading?” Tyson inquired. “Are you going back to the Macari residence or Florinia Manor?”
“Florinia Manor,” Samuel answered placidly. “Did you find out where Kathleen is staying now?”
“She’s staying with Charles,” Tyson replied. “Their neighborhood is the one Mr. Troelson has developed.”
“Tell Gustav Troelson I want the mansion next to theirs,” Samuel ordered.
“All right.” Tyson nodded.
For the next three days, Kathleen threw herself into work.
Now that Kylie was gone, everyone got along pretty well. The viewer ratings also kept increasing.
The audience was surprised to see Kathleen and Mila showing their cooking skills. It was a visual feast, for they couldn’t eat the food personally.
It was time for Mila to leave on the third day, for the new celebrity would show up soon.
The production team didn’t reveal anything about the new guest, so everyone was curious about who it could be.
When it was time for Mila to leave, everyone sent her off.
“Thanks for taking care of me for the past three days. I had a great time!” Mila said. She was reluctant to leave this soon.
“Mila, can I visit your restaurant?” John asked earnestly.
“Of course, you can.” Mila flashed a meaningful smile. “I’ll save a table for you. You don’t have to make a reservation.”
“Oh, that’s great!” John beamed happily.
