Samuel asked in a breezy tone, “Does she have evidence?”
The reporter was stunned and replied embarrassingly, “In the past year, Jadeborough was filled with rumors that she has been staying at your villa.”
Even though Samuel was seated on a hospital bed, he still exuded a powerful presence. “Looks like I have to sue those who have been spreading rumors. I had nothing to do with her since a year ago. Please don’t report something that’s not true. It’ll cause me a lot of problems if the person I’m pursuing finds out.”
The reporter was shocked. “Mr. Macari, you’re pursuing someone?”
Samuel’s lips curved elegantly. “I thought everyone in Jadeborough knew? What’s wrong with you guys? You guys report something I don’t admit and make no mention of the things I’ve admitted.”
The reporter proffered an explanation. “Perhaps it’s because Mr. Macari didn’t like people to know about his personal matters in the past?”
“You’re right. It looks like I have to do some reflection.” Samuel smiled lightly before continuing, “Do you have anything else you’d like to ask?”
“So, what are Mr. Macari’s plans regarding this matter?” asked the reporter.
Samuel laughed coldly. “When a dog bites you, do you bite the dog back?”
The reporter was speechless.
“I’ll let her off this time because of our past relationship. However, if she persists in her ways, my lawyer will be getting in touch with her,” replied Samuel icily.
The reporter thought that his words felt more like a threat.
“The five minutes for the interview is up. Please leave now.” Tyson was ready to chase the reporter out.
“One last question!” The reporter was slightly excited. “Mr. Macari, is the person that you are pursuing Kathleen?”
“Yes,” Samuel answered candidly.
The reporter was bewildered. “But she has a fiancé.”
“I feel that I still stand a chance as long as she’s not married.” Samuel laughed meaningfully. “After all, I’m the one going after her.”
The reporter wanted to ask more questions.
However, Tyson interjected. “That’s enough. Do you want to lose your job?”
The reporter was stumped and had no choice but to leave.
Tyson closed the door and reported, “Mr. Macari, Ms. Johnson has left the hospital. When Charles came to fetch her, he purposely prevented her from seeing what was happening in the ward…”
“I know.” Samuel’s expression was grim. “It’s fine. She’ll find out eventually.”
“Mr. Macari, I have already obtained most of the Yoeger family’s shares that are available for purchase. Do you want me to deliver them to Ms. Johnson immediately?”
“You can send it to her. She won’t accept it. Just hold onto it first. I’ll make her accept it.” He then instructed in an icy tone, “Find out from Richard when I can be discharged from the hospital!”
“I’ve asked him already. You’ll need to stay here for two more days,” replied Tyson.
“Tell him I want to be discharged right now and get him to process it,” Samuel said sternly.
Tyson’s expression became fearful. Where did the man who said would give me a reward this morning disappear to?
Meanwhile, Kathleen followed Charles home.
“Charles, get someone to send me a phone quickly. I need one,” Kathleen urged.
“What’s the rush? If you have a need, you can use mine first,” suggested Charles.
Kathleen crossed her arms and stared at him coldly. “Charles, you’re being weird.”
“How am I weird?” Charles’ expression carried a trace of guilt.
Kathleen couldn’t help but feel that something strange was going on. “Your phone!” she demanded.
Upon seeing that Kathleen was upset, Charles had no choice but to surrender his phone to her.
Kathleen opened Twitter and took a look at what was trending.
