Chapter 184
The Yoeger residence was quieter than Kathleen had expected.
It seemed that no one from the Yoeger family had predicted that someone would intrude into their residence.
Even so, it was a good thing for her, for she could relax a little.
Kathleen managed to enter the residence easily.
She had ordered someone to map out the Yoeger residence’s building plan and mark which room Frances was sleeping in.
Because Frances had trouble walking, she was staying in the room on the first floor for convenience.
Kathleen found Frances’ room and gently opened the door.
There was only one nightlight turned on, and the room was still kind of dark.
After making sure that there was no one else around, Kathleen quietly walked into the room and closed the door.
In small, quiet footsteps, she sneaked over to Frances’ bed.
Kathleen took out a candle that was meant to lull a person to sleep. She was about to light it when she heard Frances speak. “Who are you?”
Kathleen paused in shock.
She put down the candle and looked at Frances. “I..”
“Do what you want,” Frances said as she closed her eyes.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
“Old. Mrs. Yoeger, I’m Kathleen.” She bent down.
Frances opened her eyes once more to take a good look at Kathleen. “Oh, you’re that woman from the Macari family?”
“I’m Samuel’s ex-wife,” Kathleen answered. “But not anymore.”
Frances looked her dead in the eye. “A man who likes Nicolette is not a good person. I recommend you to give up as soon as possible.”
Kathleen was stunned momentarily. “Is it true that you are becoming senile, Old Mrs. Yoeger?”
“Who said that? They’re the ones becoming senile” Frances sald harshly “Walt, who are you?”
Once again, Kathleen was lendered speechless.
forget H. There must be something wrong with Old Mrs. Yoeger if stie’s acung this way.
Kathleen til the candle
Wher Fruncus dozeld ont, Kathleen took out a silver needle and inserted it into Frances’s right hand. She then took an out when a shon white.
The end of the silver needle had turned black.
It seems that Old Mrs. Yoeger is really poisoned. It’s not because of Alzheimer’s disease.
Kathleen took out more silver needles and started treating Frances
After thirty minutes, she took out all of the needles and found that all of them had turned black
Kathleen furrowed her eyebrows.
Judging from the needles, Kathleen thought that Frances had been poisoned for more than a few days.
Moreover, it was a chronic poison.
Whoever that did this was very smart.
If that person had used a type of poison that would take effect quickly, it would be easy for others to diagnose that Frances had been poisoned
However, since they had used a slow, chronic poison, it would be harder to detect
It was fortunate that Kathleen thought that something was wrong and came to the Yoeger residence
Or else
Besides, Kathleen knew that Vanessa would stop them from coming to visit Frances
If she hadn’t come that night, she probably would have never gotten the chance to see Frances anymore
Kathleen looked down at Frances’ pale face while her eyes teared up.
Frances probably never expected that her own biological daughter would poison her.
After a while, Kathleen was about to leave when she heard a sound from outside the door.
She quickly opened the window and jumped out of it before closing it gently
Kathleen was not rushing to leave
She then saw Vanessa bringing in a bowl of herbal inedicine.
Vanessa walked over to Frances and nudged her mother, but Frances did not respond,
In the end, Vanessa forced Frances’ mouth open and poured the medicine into her mouth
What a cruel woman!
Kathleen took out her phone to record everything for evidence
Suddenly. Vanessa felt like there was someone watching her, so she whipped her head around
Kathleen liimediately ducked
“Did I sense something wrongly? Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows She looked back at Franves coldly “Don’t blame me. Moni I am your eldest daughter, but you decided to give everything to that useless Idiot Zachary You would rather give it to your inigging, youngest daughter instead of me. You leave
me no choice but to do this.”
Frances was still deep in slumber.
“If you had been fair in your decisions, I would not have done this,” Vanessa continued menacingly. “That b*tch, Nicolette, even wants a share of it. How dare she! That little bich has no right to be a part of the Yoeger family!”
Still, there was no reaction from Frances.
Vanessa forced all of the medicine down Frances’ throat and did not even bother to wipe her mouth.
“Soon enough, everything will be mine. Mine!” Vanessa cackled evilly.
Kathleen furrowed her eyebrows
Vanessa must have gone crazy
Kathleen never expected that Vanessa could act so atrociously in the Yoeger residence. There was no one around that could stop her.
What is Zachary even doing? Even if he isn’t well, he must be out of his mind to allow Vanessa to do whatever she wishes
Vanessa soon left the room, and Kathleen knew that she had to leave as well
She left the Yoeger residence using the same route she came in.
