All Too Late novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Someone Tinkered With It

“Charles, we can leave now,” said Kathleen nonchalantly.

So soon?

Charles looked at Caleb. “Does my sister need to come to the Lewis residence often in the future?”

“Charles.” Kathleen frowned.

Did he misunderstood something?

“Don’t worry, Mr. Johnson. From now on, we’ll make sure that there are no paparazzi within a five-kilometer radius of the Johnson residence,” Caleb promised impassively.

“That would be the best,” replied Charles coldly. “I’ll be bringing my sister home. Please excuse us.”

“Goodbye,” Caleb replied emotionlessly.

Charles led Kathleen away while grabbing her hand.

Meanwhile, Caleb retrieved his lighter and cigarette case from his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself.

A smile tugged on his thin lips when he heard the sounds of the car starting outside.

Kathleen sure is an interesting woman.

Charles drove his car to send Kathleen back home.

Halfway through their journey, he couldn’t help but ask, “What business does Caleb have with you?”

“Stop asking me that, Charles. I can’t talk about it.” Kathleen was flustered.

Her brother frowned. “Not even to me?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

Upon hearing that, he smirked. “Is the woman upstairs named Vivian Lewis?”

Kathleen was stunned. “How do you know that, Charles?”

“What happened to her?” he inquired in a hoarse voice, his hands gripping the steering wheel.

She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Her mental state is unstable. It seems as if she had gone through a traumatizing experience.”

The veins on the back of Charles’ hands popped out. “Can her condition be cured?”

“It’ll depend on the circumstances,” answered Kathleen.

Charles pressed his lips into a thin line. “You have to save her.”

Kathleen looked at him in curiosity. “Charles, do you know her?”

He didn’t reply to her question, but the answer was affirmative.

Kathleen furrowed her brows deeply.

Charles knew Vivian? How did they meet, and when? Could Charles have anything to do with the state which Vivian is in?

Kathleen dared not continue down that line of thought.

From what she knew, Charles wasn’t someone like that.

Perhaps I might just have overthought this.

Meanwhile, Caleb entered his study to retrieve a photo from the drawer of his desk and studied it closely.

At that moment, a man entered the study. “Mr. Lewis, the car is ready, and the plane is already waiting for your arrival at the airport.”

Caleb put the photo down. “Philip, look at this. Don’t you think this man looks like Charles?”

Philip Lewis walked up to him and observed the photo after taking it from Caleb. “Mr. Lewis, this photo is all blurry. That man resembles Charles but not entirely.”

“I’ve hired a lot of hackers to restore this photo, but they only ever managed to recover this man’s face. Who is he if not Charles?” questioned Caleb indifferently.

“Why don’t you ask Charles directly, Mr. Lewis?” Philip was confused.

“Do you think Charles will admit to it even if he is indeed the man in the photo?” Caleb sounded stern. “Would he even have the guts to admit it that he is the reason why my elder sister is in such a state?”

Philip pursed his lips. “What do you propose then, Mr. Lewis?”

“I would like to court Kathleen. I need her to fall for me, and then I’ll dump her. By then, Charles would definitely bend to my will for the sake of her happiness. He would answer whatever questions that I ask.”

Philip didn’t say anything to that.

Caleb looked at Philip with an aloof expression. “What do you think about my plan?”

“I think… it sounds decent.” Philip was almost ashamed.

Caleb furrowed his brows. “Don’t you think it’s good?”

“Mr. Lewis, I think you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Ms. Lewis only became like that because of a bad relationship, so I don’t think it’s a good idea to go do that to another woman. Moreover, Ms. Johnson isn’t in the wrong, no?” Philip commented calmly.

“I’m not going to actually dump her. I’m only going to scare her,” said Caleb.

“You’ll first have to be able to court her, Mr. Lewis,” Philip mocked.
