Chapter 443 Punishment
“Really?” Kathleen was unperturbed. “Who dares to do that?”
“Trevor Hoover,” Yadiel answered.
Upon hearing that name, she flew into a rage. “That old b*stard! He wants to poach, huh? Let him do it, then!”
“But Mr. Macari has put his heart and soul into that team.” Yadiel knitted his brows.
“I know. I won’t let that man off easily. Ask some of your men to stay to search for Samuel. Don’t miss out on any clues.”
“Okay.” After a pause, Yadiel asked, “Are we going back?”
“Yes.” A cold glint appeared in her eyes. “I’ll head to Axeworth Corporation first.”
“What?” Yadiel couldn’t believe his ears. “It’s too dangerous!”
Kathleen sneered, “Don’t worry. Lauren won’t kill me.”
The next day, when Kathleen reached Lauren’s house, she pressed the doorbell, but no one answered the door.
Just as she pressed the doorbell again, a middle-aged man in a disheveled state came out.
It was obvious that he was annoyed with her sudden arrival. “Who are you looking for?”
“Where’s Lauren?” Kathleen asked coldly.
“She’s not around,” the man huffed.
“Where did she go?”
“I don’t know!” The man was getting more exasperated by the minute. “Scram if you’re not here for important matters. Don’t waste my time!”
“Yadiel, go,” Kathleen ordered indifferently.
“Yes.” With that, Yadiel stepped forward, ready to barge in.
“What are you guys doing?” The middle-aged man was so shocked that the color drained from his face.
With Yadiel’s height and physique, he could overpower the middle-aged man with ease, causing the latter to stagger backward in trepidation.
Kathleen followed after Yadiel as he gripped the man’s neck.
Crack!
The man’s neck was snapped.
Then, the man was thrown aside by Yadiel like a garbage bag.
Glancing at the side, Kathleen strode over to the naked woman on the couch, who was trembling and cowering in fear. Kathleen remained emotionless as she said to the woman, who seemed to be in her thirties, “If you don’t want your neck to be snapped, answer my question.”
The woman nodded frantically. “Okay.”
“Where’s Lauren?”
“She left. Someone called her to ask her to treat someone’s legs.”
Treat someone’s legs? Is it Miley? I didn’t hear of that.
“Do you know this woman?” Kathleen showed her the picture of Ashley.
The woman shook her head. “No, I’ve never seen her before.”
Kathleen shot her an icy look. “Are you lying to me?”
“No, I won’t dare to lie to you!” The woman shuddered in fear.
Kathleen’s gaze was indeed too intimidating.
“Tell Lauren her subordinate disrespected me, so I gave him a light punishment,” Kathleen said flatly.
The woman nodded in response as her face turned even paler.
A light punishment? He’s lost his life!
After that, Kathleen left the mansion with Yadiel.
When they got into the car, she said, “Go to the airport.”
As the driver, Yadiel drove toward the airport as told.
On their way there, Kathleen had been sending messages on her phone.
When she was done with it, she looked at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, on an unknown island, Samuel could already stand up, as his legs had recovered well these days.
Ashley supported him while he tried to walk. “Samuel, take it slow. There’s no hurry. I will always be by your side.”
In the past three months, even though nothing much happened between Samuel and her, he did not treat her aloofly anymore.
At the very least, he did not find her touch repulsive even though she had only touched him inadvertently.
