All Too Late novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Make Plans For Him

“Samuel, what’s your view on this matter?” Kathleen asked in a solemn tone. “I want to hear the truth.”

Samuel narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. “They’re trying to escape.”

Kathleen kept silent.

“The Yoeger family has come to a deadlock,” Samuel explained. “Someone from the Yoeger family needs to make a sacrifice. Otherwise, there will be absolutely no progress. A standstill is not beneficial for them.”

“You’re right.” Kathleen massaged her temples as she analyzed the situation in her mind. “Someone from the Yoeger family needs to make peace with me, but neither Zachary nor Yareli are suitable.”

“That’s why they chose Vanessa,” Samuel said flatly. “Or maybe Vanessa volunteered herself.”

Kathleen gave him a meaningful look. “What about Nicolette?”

“She’s just a pawn who’s full of herself,” Samuel spat.

He had lost all his feelings for Nicolette.

Thus, he was extremely upset when he knew Kathleen misunderstood them for being together, even after breaking up.

“What more can I say to a mere pawn?” Samuel looked displeased. “If you don’t believe me, I can show you all my chat history. I have nothing to hide.”

Kathleen was stumped.

“What made you realize the problem?” Samuel asked coldly.

“What about you?” Kathleen stared back at him.

Samuel smiled. “Why don’t we say it together?”

Kathleen nodded.

Together, they said, “Yareli.”

Kathleen was surprised. “You find her odd, too, right?”

Samuel nodded.

“If it’s really Nicolette who did it, there’s no way Yareli is unharmed.” There was a palpable change of emotions on her gentle face. “She hates everything that takes away her possessions. She thinks she’s the precious daughter of the Yoeger family. But Yareli’s biological father is unknown, and she uses her mother’s surname. She’s totally not worthy of being the daughter of the Yoeger family. So, Nicolette would never let Yareli go.”

“That’s right.” Samuel placed his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a cold and lonely gaze. “Everyone else in the mansion’s dead. The fact that only two of them are alive is suspicious. I’ve asked the doctor about it, and he says Zachary’s injury wasn’t very serious. His injury to his leg was caused by a bullet graze. Then again, the bullet only grazed past his calf. It’s not life-threatening. Hence, the blood belongs to someone else.”

Kathleen nodded and said sarcastically, “What kind of plan is this? It’s literally full of flaws.”

“If that’s the case, why aren’t you talking to your granny about this?” Samuel asked.

“Granny has her own plans. I can’t do anything about it,” Kathleen explained.

Samuel pondered. “Let me know if you need anything.”

Kathleen said nothing.

Samuel took a step forward, his dark gaze looking grim. “Kathleen, this is a serious matter. I hope you won’t keep me in the dark all the time.”

“Samuel, I can take care of myself, too. Don’t worry.” Kathleen did not want to bother him.

Samuel snorted. “You don’t need my protection, huh? One day, you’ll take those words back.”

Seeing Kathleen remaining silent, Samuel muttered, “I’ll get going.” With that, he turned and left.

The fact that he did nothing to Kathleen made her sigh with relief.

After leaving the Johnson residence, Samuel drove to a bar to have a drink.

He did not really like drinking, but he enjoyed chilling there alone.

“Mr. Macari?” Leonard was surprised to see him.

Samuel glanced at him impassively. “I’m not in the mood to talk to you.”

In other words, he was implying that he wanted to be left alone.

Leonard let out a chuckle. “Samuel, you’re being too heartless. Aren’t we good friends?”

Samuel did not respond to that.

Leonard studied Samuel’s expression and smiled. “What’s wrong? Are you having trouble winning your wife back?”
