All Too Late novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Fend For Yourself

“Be careful,” said Rory in a hushed tone.

Upon hearing that, Kathleen nodded in response.

Just then, Marjory dashed forward, intending to land an uppercut on Kathleen with her left fist.

Kathleen dodged the attack easily. She grabbed her opponent’s wrist and gave it a hard squeeze.

A pang of pain shot up Marjory’s arm in an instant, and it felt as if her wrist was burning.

She tried her best to wriggle her wrist out of Kathleen’s grasp but found out her wrist had turned black.

What… is this?

While Marjory was distracted, Kathleen dashed forward, bellowing her opponent’s name, “Marjory!”

A fistful of powder hit her face when Marjory looked up, and upon inhaling the powder, she instantly slumped to the ground.

Every inch of her body was twitching uncontrollably, and her limbs felt limp.

D*mn it! How could I forget that Kathleen had that trick up her sleeve!

Casting a cold glance at Marjory, Kathleen taunted, “Do you reckon anyone would find out if I were to get rid of you right here and now?”

“Don’t you dare!”

“Do you think Ashley and the others would dare to look for you out in the open?”

Marjory remained silent while wearing a grimace, for she knew Ashley wouldn’t do that for her.

“Miley’s suicide was your idea, wasn’t it? You were the one who taught her how to jump without hurting herself, isn’t that right?” queried Kathleen impassively.

“No, I have nothing to do with it.”

Marjory stubbornly refused to come clean. Hence, Kathleen whipped out her phone and played a recording on it.

The recording was none other than the conversation between Marjory and Miley that had taken place three months ago.

Marjory’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet. “You—”

“I’ve always known. It’s just that Gemma got hurt before I could do a thorough investigation.” Wearing an icy expression, Kathleen continued, “Was it Miley who instructed you to hurt Gemma?”

“Gemma’s death has nothing to do with me!” yelled Marjory.

“Then what about Samuel? Do you dare say it had nothing to do with you?”

Kathleen’s words rendered Marjory stumped.

“Did you think I was sitting around doing nothing in the three months I spent at Smealand?” A mocking smile hung on Kathleen’s lips as she continued, “I sent people to investigate if any organizations had been to the area or if any local organizations were working with anybody. I didn’t expect something so interesting to fall right into my lap.”

A hint of guilt flitted across Marjory’s face when she heard that.

“It seems like I hit the nail on the head. You brought a bunch of people to ambush Samuel, isn’t that right?”

Biting her lips, Marjory continued to deny her involvement in the scheme. “No! I don’t know anything!”

“It’s fine if you don’t admit it because I’ll still expose your schemes on the day of Samuel’s and Ashley’s engagement. I’m sure you and Ashley both know Samuel’s temperament very well,” said Kathleen while glaring daggers at the other woman.

In spite of all that, Marjory still refused to believe her. “Impossible! There’s no way you’d have any evidence!”

“As long as you did it, there will be a trail leading back to you. Did you truly believe you two executed a flawless plan? Where did you get that sort of confidence, hm?”

“Let go of me!” Marjory struggled but she couldn’t muster an ounce of strength at all.

“Don’t waste your energy.” Kathleen laughed. “This medicine is specifically made for you. You’ll continue to be like this for a week, unable to muster any strength. As for the engagement ceremony, you can stop thinking about attending it because you won’t be able to.”

Marjory bit down on her lips, glaring at Kathleen fiercely. “If I disappear, Ashley will definitely look for me.”

“Tomorrow’s her engagement ceremony with Samuel. Do you think she’d have the time to look for you?” The corner of Kathleen’s lips curved upward, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes as her gaze remained frosty.

It was then that Marjory knew she couldn’t escape.

She had been careless.
