All Too Late novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 Who Provoked You

Emily kept quiet as she thought about it.

“I noticed that Christopher wasn’t poisoned overnight when I was here last time. It’s just that I couldn’t tell you back then because Finn and Tracy were present. Since you said they already left a few days ago, then they’re not the ones behind this because this needle mark is only one to two days old,” Kathleen explained.

Emily was very confused. “Then, who did it?” She couldn’t think of anyone else. After a pause, Kathleen continued,

“Mrs. Morris, have you forgotten about someone who cares a lot about Christopher?” Only then did realization dawn on Emily.

“Astrid!”

“Was she here for the past two days?” Kathleen queried.

“Yeah, she comes every day,” Emily confirmed,nodding. Kathleen said coldly, “If she didn’t do it, then one of the housekeepers did. This is all I can think of.”

Emily’s eyes were burning with hatred as she spoke.

“All the housekeepers are senior citizens, and I know their background clearly. There’s no way they’d be bribed. It’s definitely Astrid! We received news some time ago that the Holloway family is most likely the ones who hurt Christopher back then!” Kathleen wasn’t surprised by that. She felt something was off with Astrid when she met the latter last time.

“However, if there isn’t concrete evidence, there’s no way we can get her to admit it.” Furrowing her brows, Kathleen thought about it.

“Ah! I have an idea.” Emily’s eyes lit up.

“What?” Kathleen walked over to Emily’s side and whispered something to the latter. After hearing what Kathleen said, Emily nodded.

“Okay! We’ll do as you say!” Kathleen then looked at the time.

“It’s getting late, Mrs. Morris. I have to go now.” Emily tried to get Kathleen to stay.

“Kate, you can stay here tonight since it’s late.”

“It’s fine. My kids are home, so I want to go home,” Kathleen explained. Emily nodded.

“Okay. Drive safely.”

“Mm.” With that, Kathleen turned to leave, going downstairs by herself. Coincidentally, right then, Aaron entered the mansion. Ever since something had happened to Christopher, Aaron was the only one who took care of the company’s matters. He always went home late when he was busy. The moment he saw Kathleen, he was slightly taken aback.

“Kathleen?” Kathleen responded indifferently, “Mr. Morris.”

Aaron heard about Kathleen from Emily, and he knew that Emily heard it from Wynnie. However, he didn’t expect to meet Kathleen so soon.

“Goodbye,” Kathleen said and continued walking toward the door. Aaron was still stumped, as he initially planned to see her off. After that, he went up the stairs and entered Christopher’s room. At the moment, Emily was wiping Christopher’s face.

“Darling, why did Kathleen come?” he queried, puzzled. Emily wore a cold look.

“Can’t she come?” He was startled by her reaction.

Bang! Felix slammed the table.

“How dare you! Do you know what you’re saying?” Startled, Emily looked wide-eyed at Aaron. What’s wrong with him today? Could it be that he actually listened to what I said last night? She lowered her head in silence. Felix flicked his eyes between Aaron and Emily. Felix said quietly, “Astrid, she—” Aaron snapped coldly, “Dad, Christopher will never marry her. Even if he wakes up, it’s impossible as well. Besides, you heard about the news, right? I have nothing else to say if you still think that the Holloways are innocent. However, don’t you dare try anything with Christopher, or I’ll sever ties with you!”

“You!” Felix was infuriated. Aaron stood up and looked at Emily.

“I’m going to the company now. You can start packing first. Once I get off work in the afternoon, I’ll make arrangements to pick you two up.” Emily nodded.

“Okay.” With that, Aaron turned and left the scene. Felix stared at her unhappily.

“What did you say to him?” Emily stood up.

“I didn’t say anything.” Right when she was ascending the stairs, Felix asked in a cold tone, “Emily, you’d better think this over carefully. If we chase Astrid away, who will care for Christopher when we get older?”

“You don’t have to worry about that,” she replied indifferently.

“Samuel is my nephew. He’ll make sure Christopher is taken care of.”

After that, she walked upstairs. Felix gritted his teeth as he yelled at Emily’s retreating figure, “You’d better think it over properly! Christopher and Samuel almost had a fall out because of Kathleen last time! Are you sure Samuel will care about Christopher?” Emily stood on the second floor.

“Samuel’s not a heartless person! I’m his aunt! There’s no way he’ll only stand by and do nothing!”

With that, she turned and left as soon as she could, not wanting to talk to Felix any longer. He’s already senile! If he’s clear-headed, how could he let Finn return to that family? Because of that, Aaron had to deal with another enemy like Caleb in the mall.
