Chapter 364 I Can Save You

A vicious cold look flashed across Samuel’s eyes. “Is that so?”

“Of course!” Xienna nodded fervently.

Standing beside, Kathleen smirked and said, “So what if I only want the Macari family’s money?”

“Did you hear that, Mr. Macari? She admitted it herself!” Xienna got emotional upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, Kathleen was at a loss for words.

“It seems like you’re clueless. Five years ago, I gave all my assets to her. So, I’m actually working for her now,” said Samuel coldly.

“W-What?” At once, Xienna and Kathleen froze at his remark.

In the meantime, thoughts began to cross Kathleen’s mind. Huh? Is that true? Charles has never mentioned anything about that to me before.

As a matter of fact, Kathleen had enquired Charles about the past.

He was her brother, after all. Therefore, she genuinely believed that Charles would never lie to her.

Did Charles accidentally miss something out? It’s possible that he left the details out intentionally as well, but either way, I’m not bothered. It’s not like I’m financially unstable.

On the contrary, there was a change in Xienna’s expression.

What? Samuel gave everything to Kathleen? How is that possible?

With a distinct voice, Samuel stated, “Get out of my sight. If I see you again, I won’t be polite to you anymore.”

Inwardly, Samuel did not want to repeat the mistake, as he did not want others to misunderstand that he had any feelings for Xienna.

He turned to the security guard and complimented, “You did very well.”

“Yes!” Hearing that, the security guard was surprised and delighted.

“I’ll inform the HR department to consider an increment for you.” Samuel cast Kathleen a glance and asked in a hoarse voice, “Is that okay?”

“Why are you asking me?” Startled, Kathleen asked in return.

“Well, I work for you. Of course, I’ll need to ask you beforehand,” he explained calmly.

Kathleen was rendered speechless.

At that instant, it was rush hour in the evening.

The company’s employees were gathering in the hall.

Hearing Samuel’s words, all of them glanced at Kathleen enviously, as they could sense the deep feelings of affection Samuel had for Kathleen.

Xienna was so filled with jealousy that she almost went berserk. She yelled, “You know nothing, Mr. Macari! The X-9 that she mentioned is not a stable reagent. Even if she doesn’t care about the money, she has no good intentions toward you!”

Samuel then flashed a piercing and frosty gaze at her before voicing, “So what? My life is hers. She can do anything with it. It’s totally out of your business.”

Xienna was bereft of speech listening to that.

Meanwhile, the crowd present there could not help but chuckle.

All of them shared the same thought as they watched at the side. Silly girl. She needs to have more self-awareness and learn to read the room. If she’s smart, she would know what Samuel meant by that.

Nonetheless, Xienna remained obstinate and was still unwilling to give up.

“Samuel, trust me. I can save you,” Xienna muttered pitifully.

However, she irked him so much that Samuel ordered the security guard to take her away.

“Yes!” Hearing his command, the security guard swiftly dragged Xienna and threw her out of that place.

With an icy expression, Samuel said to Kathleen, “Let’s go.”

Even so, Kathleen remained unfazed after hearing what Samuel had just said.

Recalling back, Samuel realized that Kathleen only displayed a shift of her expression at the time when he mentioned the transfer of his entire assets to her.

Subsequently, Samuel strode away, and Kathleen followed closely behind.

Upon stepping outside, Tyson drove the Maybach over.

“You may go home now. I’ll drive.” The look on his face remained frosty.

“Okay.” Following that, Tyson emerged from the car.

Awkwardly, he stole a glance at Kathleen, only to see the lack of emotion on her delicate face.

Noticing that, Tyson merely kept mum.

I remember how sweet Kathleen was in the past. She was an adorable and kind girl; how things have changed! Now, however, she’s behaving so cool that I could barely recognize her anymore. No wonder Mr. Macari looks dejected. He looks like he has been dumped. In some ways, this Kathleen in front of me is no longer the Kathleen in my memory, although they’re the same person.

“Get in,” Samuel uttered to Kathleen.

She hesitated and asked, “Where should I sit? The passenger seat? Or at the back?”

Hearing that, Samuel grabbed her arm and pulled her to the passenger seat.

He opened the car door and said indifferently, “Only you deserve to sit here. Don’t ask again next time.”

Kathleen nodded in response.

She then leaned over to enter the car.

Inwardly, Samuel understood that Kathleen did not do that on purpose.

He could not restrain his agitation, nevertheless.

Aren’t my actions obvious enough? Why is Kathleen still playing dumb? I feel like she’s challenging my limits!

In the car, Kathleen was exceptionally quiet.

She barely talked throughout the journey.

Samuel could feel an air of coldness surrounding him. He felt crestfallen as frustration slowly welled up inside him.

Not only that, the fact that Kathleen had lost her memory caused him to feel extremely helpless.

The mixed feelings surging in him caused him to get more and more irritated.

Soon, they arrived at a welfare center.

Kathleen got down the car and stood right in front of the center.

Looking around, she saw a huge arched sign at the door and read the words on the board inwardly. White Clouds Welfare Centre?

Samuel stared gently at her and muttered, “This is where your parents stayed back then.”

Astounded, Kathleen asked, “My parents?”

“Yes. Both of your parents were orphans,” explained Samuel.

Nodding her head, Kathleen responded, “I heard about it from Charles before. However, we have found my mother’s family, right?”

“Yes.” Samuel bobbed his head before continuing, “This place was closed down a while ago. But, then, I bought it and continue to operate it.”

“I see. This place is pretty nice.” Kathleen shifted her attention around.

“Let’s go in,” muttered Samuel in a low voice.

With that, Kathleen went inside and followed him to the main building.

That place was mainly used as an office, classroom, and dining area.

Next to it was a dorm where the orphans lived.

Meanwhile, on the field, a group of children gathered around a young man with a baby face.

“Nolan, could you please stay and play with us a while more?”

As a matter of fact, Nolan had spotted Samuel and Kathleen from a distance earlier.

He patted the kid’s head lightly. “Be good. You guys play here for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Nolan made his way toward them.

Standing behind Samuel, Kathleen asked in a low voice, “He’s Noles?”

Samuel nodded in response.

“He has good looks,” she murmured.

Hearing that, Samuel swiftly turned around and shot her a glare, only to see Kathleen sticking out her tongue at him cheekily.

Just then, Nolan was already in front of them.

“Mr. Macari,” Nolan greeted before shifting his eyes to Kathleen. “Hello, Mrs. Macari. It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

Kathleen blinked her eyes. “Samuel and I have been divorced for years.”

“Sorry. I’m used to addressing you that way,” justified Nolan.

Kathleen shrugged.

Just then, Samuel remarked coldly, “You can ask him anything.”

“How about we go to the art studio? It’s empty now, as there is no class there,” suggested Nolan.

“Sure.” Kathleen nodded.

Noticing her enthusiasm, Samuel huffed in displeasure.

His reaction garnered a narrow-eyed look from Kathleen.

Did he just snort at me? We’re divorced. Why is he being so controlling?

Samuel was peeved by her reaction, although he knew that she was not really interested in Nolan.

Noticing their interaction, Nolan wore a skin-deep grin. “Come with me.”

Then, they followed Nolan to the art studio.

Inside the room, there were a lot of flower stands, the children’s work, and also some tools.

They then casually grabbed a chair and sat down.

Afterward, Kathleen locked eyes with Nolan and asked, “What’s your real name?”

“Noles. My new name is Nolan,” he answered accordingly.

“Which organization are you from?” Kathleen asked, puzzled.

The corners of his mouth twitched resignedly. “I don’t know, either.”
