Chapter 375 Why Did You Save Me
“I'm looking for something, but I forgot in which room I placed it. Ms. Cartwright, don’t mind me.I'll leave after I finish searching,” Kathleen explained indifferently. She had checked allthe cabinets and even the bathrooms. Yet, she found nothing.
Dorothy wore an unfathomable grin as she questioned, “Have you found it?” Kathleen shook her head.
Meanwhile, Samuel's men came back from searching around the house too, yet they did not manage to find anything. A cold grin flashed across Kathleen's beautiful face.
“Since I couldn't find it, I'll stop searching around. I hope you wouldn't mind, Ms. Cartwright.” Dorothy stared at Kathleen for a long while. When she came and saw me just now, she didn't even mention anything about Zion.
This lady is merely in her twenties, yet she could stay this composed. She's truly a prudent person. Dorothy came to a realization that she had met a strong opponent.
“Let's go.” Kathleen turned to Samuel. He replied with a nod. Then, they came out of Dorothy's room.
At the same time, Zachary had rushed back too. Infuriated, he asked anxiously, “What's going on? Yareli told me that this mansion has become yours.”
“Granny had that written in her will. When she got married to Old Mr. Yoeger back then, he had given the house to Granny. The owner's name of this property had already been changed to Granny's a long time ago,” Kathleen explained without a tinge of emotions.
“What?” Zachary was startled.
“According to Granny's will, this house will be given to me.”
After a brief pause, Kathleen continued, “Oh, you will get a little share of it.” Zachary frowned.
“I don't trust you!”
“That's up to you, then. If you think there are any issues with the will, you can always find yourself a lawyer. I'm ready to go to court.”
Hearing that, Zachary knew that Kathleen must have hired a lawyer. He supposed that the lawyer she engaged was most likely Samuel's mother, Wynnie. Wynnie was an outstanding lawyer, and she had never lost in any cases. Gnashing his teeth, Zachary exclaimed, “My father shouldn't have married her back then!”
“Haha! The Yoeger family was begging her to marry your father. Your family was so incapable. Besides, my granny didn't claim your things as her own. Back then, she even allowed you guys to manage the company on your own, but you guys messed it up. My granny helped the company through the crisis with her dowry and saved the Yoeger family's reputation from being tarnished. Not only that you're not grateful for her contribution, but you even made such a remark about her. How shameless!” Kathleen taunted mercilessly.
“You!” Zachary was fuming. Kathleen smiled contemptuously and added, “Of course, if you like this house that much, I can sell it to you at a lower price. Even if Granny did give it to me, I don't feel like moving in. After all, a bunch of vengeful ghosts has lived here before. I'm afraid that I'll have nightmares.”
Zachary felt the rage pulsing through his veins. He reached out and wanted to grab Kathleen's wrist. Samuel strode forward and stopped right before Zachary. His voice was cold as he questioned, “What are you trying to do?”
Zachary felt a sense of guilt. In truth, Zachary only dared to lay his hand on Kathleen because she was a woman. Yet, Samuel was better than him in terms of strength and physique. Zachary backed down sheepishly in an instant. Kathleen reached out to pull Samuel's sleeve.
“Don't care about him. Let's go.” Samuel grabbed Kathleen's hand in turn. Nodding, he left with Kathleen. When they walked past Yareli, the latter's gaze fell upon their hands that clasped tightly together. A ferocious look flitted across Yareli's eyes. Kathleen and Samuel walked out of the house. The former's face grew solemn.
“Why couldn't we find him?”
“She probably hid Zion somewhere else,” explained Samuel. Kathleen gave him a slight nod as she pondered over that possibility. It's possible. Perhaps, we can only get someone to keep an eye on Dorothy all day.
“Let's go.” Kathleen let out a sigh. After taking a few steps forward, Samuel questioned, “That car belongs to Dorothy, right?”
