All Too Late novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Marrying Nicolette

The entire process took place smoothly, and Kathleen received the thirty percent shares owned by Frances.

At present, she was Yoeger Group’s biggest shareholder.

Samuel told Tyson to take the two lawyers to the adjacent room for a break.

Richard exited the ward, too.

Frances regarded Samuel unhappily. “When do you plan to marry Nicolette, Mr. Macari?”

Samuel kept quiet.

Kathleen peeled an orange and passed a segment to Frances.

Frances ate it with a grin.

“Old Mrs. Yoeger, I don’t like Nicolette,” Samuel answered in a deep voice.

He could ignore the opinions of Diana and the others, but he could not ignore Frances’.

Judging by her appearance, Kathleen was a good girl, and Frances loved her.

What should I do if Old Mrs. Yoeger won’t let me be with Kathleen?

Samuel could never, ever let Frances become his biggest obstacle.

“How heartless of you to make such a casual remark, Mr. Macari,” Frances muttered coldly.

Samuel remained silent at first.

Then, he cleared his throat and spoke. “Old Mrs. Yoeger, previously, I mistook Nicolette for my savior, and I’m very sorry about this. I didn’t know it was Kate who saved me back then.”

Frances eyed him with a wan expression. “Does this misunderstanding justify your poor treatment of Kate?”

Samuel replied, “I know it doesn’t, so I’ll try my best to compensate her for what I’ve done.”

“Your best form of compensation is to stop bothering my granddaughter,” Frances said with a scowl.

Samuel spoke in a low voice. “You can rest assured that I won’t bother her, Old Mrs. Yoeger.”

Frances stared at him in disbelief.

“Mr. Macari, I’ve known you since you were a child, and I understand your character very well,” she said in an icy tone. “You’re the kind of person who doesn’t stop until you’ve achieved your goals. You say you’ll stop bothering Kate, but secretly, you’ll chase away all the men around her, am I right?”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

“I heard about this from your grandmother.” There was a hint of mockery in Frances’ weak voice. “Kate was very popular among the boys in high school, so you threatened them behind her back. Is that correct?”

Samuel did not say a word, but a slight crease appeared between his brows.

How did Grandma find out about that? And she has even told Old Mrs. Yoeger about it!

Kathleen stared at Samuel in shock. “You…”

He cleared his throat. “I treated you like a little sister back then, and I was afraid you would be bullied.”

“Hah!” Frances chuckled sardonically and reminded Kathleen, “Don’t ever fall for the lies of men.”

Kathleen nodded.

Samuel was at a loss for words.

Indeed, his biggest stumbling block was not other people but Frances.

Kathleen fixed her gaze on Samuel.

So, he used to do such a thing without my knowledge.

Knock! Knock!

Someone was knocking on the door.

Samuel opened the door and was surprised to see the person standing outside. “Grandma?”

“Move aside.” Diana pushed Samuel aside. “I’m here to see my old friend.”

Then, she entered the ward.

“Fran, how have you been?” Diana asked emotionally.

“I’m fine, Diana.” Frances was touched.

After that, the two old ladies hugged each other.

Kathleen, who was next to Samuel, observed them with envy.

Having a best friend to spend time with at this age was a joyful thing.

“Why are you here?” Frances was taken aback.

“I heard you woke up and was concerned, so I came here.” Diana looked at Samuel. “What are you gawking at? You two may leave now. Take Katie out for supper. I’m not leaving tonight.”
