All Too Late

Chapter 280 Old Man

he would not have allowed the woman to do as she pleased. “Who are you?” Kathleen stepped forward to stop her, but she was too late. The masked woman let out a derisive chuckle before striding hastily toward the window and jumping out Thump! She jumped into the sea. D’mn it! It seems like someone knows we are on the island, and they ve been hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity to ambush us when we let our guard down. But why did they capture Nicolette? If we fail to locate her, or her body is discovered after she is killed. Samuel will undoubtedly shoulder the blame. Even if there is no evidence others will assume he’s the culprit. What a troublesome mess. Who’s that woman anyway, and what did she feed Samuel? Kathleen returned to Samuel’s side and checked his pulse. However, she did not find out anything unusual happening in his body. That’s weird. Are my medical skills failing? What could that pill be if it is not poison? Never mind. I’ll deal with this later.

The flavor was sweet with a hint of alcoholic smell,” he replied. She pursed her lips. “Let go of me first.” “Don’t worry. I will not harm you.” Samuel paused briefly before continuing. “Your journey out of the castle alone made me doubt your self-protecting awareness. Therefore, you will rest well in the room from now on while I am going to deal with those people.” “What’s there to deal with?” Kathleen was mad. “Hurry up and go back.
