All Too Late novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477 Dead

A few days later, Betty’s condition stabilized, and she was ready to undergo surgery. Kathleen applied to the local hospital to borrow their operating room to carry out Betty’s surgery.

Prior to the surgery, the elderly lady was already admitted into the hospital for pre-operative management. Kathleen began preparing for the surgery as well. Samuel walked up to her.

“Kate, I’ll be leaving in a while.” She was shocked.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Pollerton to visit the kids because I miss them. I’ll be back soon.”

He hugged her from behind. Kathleen nodded. “Okay. Go ahead then. It’s normal for you to miss them since you are their father. Moreover, after all the things that had happened previously, they must be feeling sad.”

“Okay.” Samuel kissed her on the cheek.

“Good luck with the surgery.”

“Okay.” Kathleen smiled faintly. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll be back in time before you’re done with the operation.”

Nardor was not far from Pollerton. Samuel reckoned he would be able to return in time in the afternoon if he departed earlier.

“I got it. Be careful.” She continued wearing her carefree smile. He nodded, turned on his heels, and left.

After that, Kathleen carried on with her preparation. She knew what Samuel was actually going to do and was also aware of why he had not been honest with her. I’ll leave that matter to him because I have something more important to deal with now. Samuel returned to Pollerton. He went directly to the condominium Ashley was staying in and knocked on the door.

A thin woman opened the door. She uttered in astonishment, “S-Samuel…” Samuel gazed at that woman’s face indifferently. It really is her.

“It’s been a long time, Ms. Zeller. I believe you know why I’m here,” Samuel said expressionlessly. Ashley pursed her lips.

“Please, come in.”

“That’s not needed. I do not think that would be appropriate,” he replied plainly.

Ashley was slightly dazed. Inexplicably, she felt extremely pressured. She was genuinely frightened by him. Ashley apologized before saying anything else, “I’m sorry. I knew everything Luna did, but I didn’t stop her and even allowed her to abuse my identity.”

“All that because she’s your aunt?” Samuel asked coldly. Ashley explained, “Yes, simply because she’s my aunt. She treats me very well, so…”

Samuel piped up, “She orchestrated your kidnapping incident in the past.”

“What?” she exclaimed startlingly.

“Are you telling the truth, Mr. Macari?” Walter stood at the bottom of the stairs. Standing beside him was his wife, Phoebe Gaunt. Both of them were shocked to their cores. Tyson took out the evidence.

“This is a recording taken by the kidnapper in the past. You all can take a look.” Walter strode over, extending an invitation to Samuel.

“Please, come in, Mr. Macari.” Samuel nodded. He did not mind entering when accompanied by the couple. Walter, Phoebe, and Ashley watched the footage together. They witnessed Luna instructing the kidnapper to abduct Ashley and even told the kidnapper to kill Ashley after receiving the ransom in the video. Colors drained from the trio’s faces.

“This…” Walter stared at Samuel in utter disbelief.

“If you don’t believe the genuineness of this footage, you can submit it to the police to carry out an authentication test. Mr. Zeller, your daughter had to suffer this traumatic experience at such a young age, yet you’re still helping the culprit. Doesn’t your conscience hurt you?” Phoebe was especially infuriated.
