All Too Late novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377:

They Are Not Yoegers Kathleen nodded. Charles instructed, “It's getting late.

Go on and head to sleep.

Don’t Forget thatyou're still injured.” “I'm all right,” replied Kathleen with a shake of her head.

She added, “My injuries have long healed, Charles.

Why don't you letme stay up to keep watch? You should rest.” “There's no need.

You can get some rest.

I'm still around.” Given that he was her brother, there was no way that he could allow her to stay up and watch over him all night. “All right then,” conceded Kathleen as she yawned widely.

She added, “I'll drop by again tomorrow.” “Okay.” He nodded his head in acknowledgment. With that, Kathleen rose to her feet and declared, “I'll be heading off to bed then.” Following that, she proceeded up the stairs without sparing so much as a second glance at Samuel.

For his part, Samuel merely sat there motionless and did not react to her departure. “What do you want to talk to me about?” asked Charles slowly. However, Samuel merely shook his head silently.

He had only stayed back as he wasn't feeling particularly sleepy. Faced with such silence, Charles finally rose to his feet and walked over to sit next to Samuel.

After a brief pause, Charles asked, “I don't think you need me to explain what my granny was getting at with her words earlier, do you? Deep down, you should know as well.” As per before, Samuel did not say a single word in response. Charles was egged on and slowly added, “Since you understand, then from today onward, shouldn't you—” “What if she isn't disappointed in me?” countered Samuel suddenly. Charles was caught off guard momentarily.

He gazed at Samuel with a long and meaningful look before he replied, “Are you seriously suggesting that you haven't given up by now?” “I'll never give up for the rest of my life,” replied Samuel in a low voice.

“I'll keep at it until I meet my end.

It's just that I don't want to force her anymore.” “Well, I can't force you.

The choice is yours.

After all, I'm sure Kate won't fall in love with you,” replied Charles casually.

“She's not like how she was before.

Haven't you realized that she doesn't care too much about you these days?” “I don't need you to remind me of that.

You can stay up by yourself,” replied Samuel tersely as he suddenly stood up in defiance. Charles paused for a moment in surprise before he lightly commented, “I couldn't tell at first, but it seems like you wanted to accompany me just now.” Samuel's expression was icy cold as he replied, “You're thinking too much.

I just wanted some time to myself so I could organize my thoughts.

It's just that you're too irksome.” With that, he turned and proceeded to take his leave. As he did so, his gaze suddenly flickered upward, and he saw a figure swiftly disappear from sight on the second floor. He pressed his thin lips together lightly as he wondered if Kathleen had been eavesdropping on them the entire time. On the second floor, Kathleen quickly returned to her room and shut the door behind her.

She pressed her back firmly against the door as she strained her ears to pick up any sound of movement from the other side of the door. Soon enough, she picked up on the increasingly vivid sound of approaching footsteps. Samuel came to a stop right before her door and spoke in his usual low voice.

If Zachary Yoeger or Yareli Yoeger were to engage in any activity that places the remaining four individuals in harm's way during these proceedings, the two would automatically be revoked of all privileges to receive the allowance.” “What?” exclaimed Zachary as he leaped to his feet in displeasure.

He continued to rail, “They've already taken so much for themselves! How dare they fight with us for the portion that's going to the trust fund? They're not even Yoegers! What right do they have to have the allowance?” “Let me inform you, mr.Zachary Yoeger.

From a legal standpoint, their mother, Rebecca Johnson, is the daughter of Frances Schott and Hector Yoeger.

No matter if there are any direct blood relations to speak of, this is still recognized and legally binding.

As Rebecca Johnson's children, Charles Johnson and Kathleen Johnson have every right to be heirs to the inheritance.

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to lodge an appeal.

If it comes to that, I hope that you're able to foot the legal bills that come your way,” stated Wynnie coldly. As it wasn't cheap to fight a lawsuit for a squabble over inheritance issues, Zachary shut his mouth the second he heard that he would need to spend money. Given that he wasn't even allocated that much to begin with, he knew that he would be left with nothing if he continued to pursue the matter and get embroiled in a lawsuit that entailed hefty fees. He had no choice but to silently swallow his resentment and accept his loss. Yareli's expression had turned icy cold the moment she heard Wynnie's words.

She didn't expect that she would merely be entitled to two million a month. It was an extremely frustrating moment for her, especially since she was the daughter of the Yoeger family. Furthermore, the entire reading of the will had no mention of Vanessa and Nicolette at all. It seemed like the pair had been utterly overlooked and forgotten by Frances. Wynnie closed the document she held in her hands and declared, “If there are no further questions, please proceed to sign atop this document.

Once all the signatures are present, the document will take effect and be legally binding.

Following which, all of the money will be credited directly to your respective accounts.” The more Zachary thought about it, the more he couldn't keep his anger and frustration under control any longer.

Finally, he burst out, “Charles! Kathleen! Have both of you no shame? How can you just stand there and shamelessly take away all this money that belongs to the Yoeger family?”
