Chapter 463 You Cannot Slander Me Kathleen came out of the restroom and went back to her seat. Meanwhile, Levi was sitting there with a pained expression. “I just saw you come out of the male restroom,” he whispered. Kathleen felt speechless. He continued, “I even saw Samuel walking out of there.” She gave him the side-eye. “Do you wish to reconcile with Queena or not?” “What did she say?” Levi asked, feeling agitated. Kathleen knitted her brow as she questioned, “Did you lie to me? Do you have another woman?” “How is that possible?” Levi huffed. “I don’t have other women.” “But Queena told me a woman went to find her and showed Queena an intimate picture of you with that woman. That was why Queena left.” “What?” Levi was shocked to the core. “That’s impossible!” Kathleen glanced at him dispassionately. “Why would Queena accuse you for nothing? If she wanted to break up with you, she didn’t need to find such a lame excuse.” Levi pursed his lips.
Just then, Yadiel arrived with a bag of medication in his hand. It was medicated cream for burns that Kathleen asked him to buy. “What are you waiting for?” Aloofly, Kathleen glanced at Levi. “Bring that cream to her.” Upon hearing that, Levi shot to his feet and took the bag from Yadiel before dashing toward the kitchen at the back. Sighing, Kathleen massaged her temples. “What is Mr. Levi doing?” Yadiel asked curiously. “Winning his girlfriend back.” She turned toward her children. “Are you guys full?” Desiree and Eilam nodded in unison. Desiree then glanced at a spot a stone’s throw away. “Huh? Where’s Daddy?” Eilam replied blandly, “He left.” Samuel was long gone. He had gone out right after he walked out of the restroom. “Let’s go.” Kathleen rose to her feet. Ashley stormed toward them. “Kathleen, why are you always around wherever Samuel and I go?” Kathleen gazed at the furious Ashley nonchalantly. “Are you the owner of this restaurant? Why can’t I be here?”
Ashley was stumped. “Are you the only one who can visit a new restaurant?” Kathleen’s sarcasm was almost tangible. “As a mistress, you’re the one who should learn to be a decent person. Don’t you find yourself ridiculous when you come here to question me?” Ashley stared daggers at Kathleen. “If Samuel didn’t lose his memory, would you even have the chance to talk to him?” Kathleen’s eyes were ice-cold. “Ashley, you should pray that Samuel will never get to recall the things in the past. The day he recovers his lost memory will be the day of your downfall. Just you wait!” Ashley could only tremble with rage, not saying a word. Kathleen looked at Yadiel and said, “Carry the kids. We’re leaving.” With that, she picked Desiree up, and Yadiel went over to Eilam. The boy shook his head and held Yadiel’s hand. “I can walk on my own.” I don’t need people to carry me. I’m a big boy now. Holding Eilam’s hand, Yadiel led him out of the restaurant. As Ashley stared at the two children, she put her hand on her abdomen subconsciously. If only I’m really pregnant. If I have his child, I’ll be held in high regard and I don’t have to be wary of Kathleen anymore. Nor do I need to worry about Samuel regaining his lost memory. I need to think of a way.
The next day, Kathleen went to the hospital to pay Diana a visit. The latter had become conscious, but she still didn’t look well. As Kathleen checked Diana’s pulse, the former frowned. “Old Mrs. Macari, the toxins in your body haven’t been cleared out yet. That’s why you feel so weak.” Diana sighed. “I’m old, after all.” “Old Mrs. Macari, I’m sorry,” Kathleen apologized sincerely. “It’s my fault for not disciplining my subordinates well. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to do that.” “No, don’t beat yourself up,” Diana replied in a hoarse voice. “You have so many subordinates. There’s no way you could guess what each and every one of them is thinking about. Mistakes are bound to happen.” Kathleen held Diana’s dry, cool hand. “Old Mrs. Macari, I’ll help you to clear the remaining toxins in your body. Don’t worry.” “I trust you, Katie.” Diana beamed. “They won’t get what they want. I trust you more than anyone else.” Kathleen was touched.
“Old Mrs. Macari, I’ve already found some information for the moment. I’ll keep you posted.” “Okay.” Diana nodded and asked, “Are you really going to let Samuel and Ashley have their engagement?” Kathleen pursed her lips. It was the first time Diana asked her this question. “I hope you can stop them,” Diana continued. “Kate, think about it. No matter how Samuel is, he’s just like a newborn baby ever since he lost his memory. He lacks a sense of security, so he would rely on the people around him. Do you get me?” “Yes.” Kathleen nodded. “In my opinion, Samuel is not that foolish. He treats you like the person he loves the most, but he’s throwing a tantrum. He just wants you to blandish him. Can you do that for my sake? You can teach him a lesson once he gets back home.” She can do whatever she wants as long as she can stop Samuel and Ashley from getting engaged. Kathleen hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Diana’s request. “Okay.” Actually, she didn’t know how to break the news to Diana that Ashley was pregnant. Forget it. Things will work themselves out sooner or later. If Samuel still insists on having an engagement with Ashley after I try to persuade him, so be it. “Kate, thank you.” Diana gave her a benevolent smile. Kathleen nodded in reply. After that, she left the hospital, not expecting that she would bump into Richard and Miley at the entrance of the hospital. Miley was in a wheelchair. It had been quite some time since they last met. While Richard seemed to be slimmer and more stand-offish, Miley looked happy with a very sweet smile on her face. Kathleen couldn’t help but feel disgusted. When Richard saw Kathleen, he was slightly taken aback and stepped forward. “Long time no see.” “It’s not that long actually,” Kathleen said flatly. “You came to me and asked about Gemma’s burial site a few days ago, remember?” She said that on purpose, causing Miley’s expression to turn sour instantly. Although she had gotten Richard to herself, she still hadn’t won his heart. He still had not forgotten Gemma even after she had passed away. “Actually, I—” Richard began.
“I won’t tell you where she is,” Kathleen cut him off coldly, then landed her frosty gaze on Miley’s face. “Gemma’s death is not accidental. The one who caused Gemma’s death will get her comeuppance.” Miley stared back at Kathleen. “Kathleen, why are you looking at me?” Kathleen smirked. “I heard that you knew Marjory Garner.” Miley was startled, uneasiness appearing in her eyes. “I don’t know her.” “Is that so? Why did she visit you when you were at the hospital then?” Kathleen smiled sardonically. “Besides, I also know that you asked her not to find you anymore because you were afraid that Richard would know about her.” Richard’s brows furrowed deeply as he glanced at Kathleen in puzzlement. Meanwhile, Miley became emotional. “Kathleen, I know you don’t like me because of Gemma, but you can’t slander me.”
