All Too Late

Chapter 370

Why Are You Still Alive “So that’s how it is.” Kathleen wore a slight frown with a hint of solemnness between her brows. “Zayne Hoover is a playboy. Even at his current age, he still acts as unrestrained and reckless as ever. Because of that, he had a lot of illegitimate children, but most of them passed away at a young age.” Samuel’s tone was glacial. Kathleen was stunned. “They passed away?” “Yes. Almost every one of his children didn’t manage to live past eighteen. Zion is a special case,” explained Samuel. “The Hoover family is ruthless! The children are innocent lives! Even if they want revenge, they can’t harm those children. Why can’t they just castrate Zayne to solve the problem once and for all?” said Kathleen furiously.

“That’s the tradition of the Hoover family which started from Old Mrs. Hoover’s generation.” He looked at her with a meaningful gaze in his eyes. Her face fell when she realized that he had been dropping her hints. She would be too silly if she still didn’t get it. “Do you mean what happened to my mother back then had something to do with Old Mrs. Hoover?” she asked, furrowing her brows. “Apart from Old Mr. Yoeger, she’s the only one who knows something. Otherwise, who else held such grudges against your mother? Back then, she was just a baby. What does Vanessa know? Isn’t this the most reasonable explanation?” he questioned, not showing much emotion. She pursed her rosy lips. “Which means, Old Mrs. Hoover and Old Mr. Yoeger joined forces?” “In the past, the Hoover family and the Yoeger family were once partners. Though it’s unknown why their partnership only lasted for a brief period and they parted ways after that, I guess it’s because Old Mrs.

Mr. Yoeger to kill your mother, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, so he merely sent your mother to the welfare center,” uttered Samuel matter-of-factly. As Kathleen heard that, she was at a loss for words. Yeah, that makes sense. Samuel’s exquisitely charming facial features had graveness written all over them. “Vanessa must know a lot about what happened. When Old Mrs. Yoeger was ill, she was in charge of all the affairs in Yoeger Group. According to hearsay, she was once in contact with

her trance and asked faintly, “What did my grandmother and my mother do wrong? Why did they have to be separated? My grandmother was never a third wheel. It was Trevor who abandoned her first. My grandmother never asked him for anything either. She gave birth to and took care of the child all on her own. And who does that Old Mrs. Hoover think she is? How can she do something like that?” Upon seeing how upset she was, he tried to comfort her, “Maybe she just loves Trevor too much.” She scoffed, “It’s her fault for falling in love with a scumbag. The audacity of her to harm my grandmother and my mother!” Samuel pursed his lips in slight uneasiness when he heard Kathleen’s remarks. It felt as though she was talking about him, but he knew he should bear the consequences of his own actions. She was so furious that her cheeks puffed red. “I haven’t finished talking

me that Zion’s life was spared because Quentin needs his blood?” Samuel nodded. Although she had already assumed that to be the case, she was still shocked. “Quentin’s sickness is weird. It won’t work if he’s given normal blood. The person who transfuses blood to him must consume some special medication so that his or her blood consists of the medicinal property,” he explained. She frowned in puzzlement. “What?” “So, the Hoover family
