All Too Late

“Huh? Mrs. Macari, are you sure you want to put on Yareli’s face and go to the banquet with the fake Mr. Macari? How will you explain this in the future?” Kathleen said indifferently, “It’s not like I’m going to do something overboard. Besides, I’m just afraid that Yadiel can’t handle it alone, and it’ll be better with me beside him.” Tyson asked embarrassedly, “Then how will I explain it to Mr. Macari in the future?” “Just tell him the truth. You can just say that I wanted to do this, and let him come at me if anything happens,” Kathleen said coldly. “Okay.” Tyson felt helpless. After all, that was Kathleen’s decision. Who was Kathleen? She was Samuel’s sweetheart. Whatever she wanted to do, Samuel would spoil and obey her. There was no way a little assistant like Tyson could oppose her. Kathleen let them leave first, so Tyson could explain some things to Yadiel. She also began to put on her disguise. Tyson and Yadiel were chatting in the living room. Suddenly, Rory came in from outside. She glanced at the living room and couldn’t help but be taken aback. “Mr. Macari?” Yadiel cleared his throat. “It’s me.”

 

“Yadiel?” Rory was shocked. What is going on? As she was thinking, Yareli, who was unconscious, came out of Kathleen’s studio, still wearing Kathleen’s clothes. Rory was even more shocked. What on earth is going on? “Rory, where are the things I asked you to buy?” Kathleen looked at her. “Dr… Dr. Johnson?” Rory was very surprised. Kathleen nodded. “Yup. It’s me.” Rory opened her mouth. “What are you two doing?” She was confused. “Your brother and I are going to a banquet. Please help take care of the affairs in the mansion,” Kathleen reminded. “Okay.” Rory nodded. Kathleen continued, “Regarding the mother and daughter pair, if they do anything weird, then there’s no need for you to be gentle with them. If there’s nothing you can do, it’s okay to dispose of them.” “Yes!” Rory nodded. She finally understood and knew what to do. Kathleen nodded with satisfaction. She then looked at Yadiel and said, “I’ll go change clothes, then we’ll head off.” “All right,” replied Yadiel. Kathleen looked at Tyson and asked, “Do we need to prepare a present?” Tyson shook his head. “No need. Mr. Macari already gave a present before.” Kathleen was curious. “Do you know what it is?” Tyson explained, “It’s a golden abacus. It’s because the youngest daughter of Mr. Macari’s mentor is studying finance.” Kathleen said, “Okay, I understand.” She took the bag from Rory’s hand and turned to change clothes. Soon, Kathleen came out of the room. She was already very similar to Yareli when she put on her clothes. Kathleen could pass off as the real deal. This was especially so for Tyson, who had seen Yareli before. If he hadn’t known that Kathleen was pretending to be her, he would have thought that Yareli had woken up. However, just to make sure, Tyson ran to Yareli’s ward to take a look. Yareli was indeed still in bed. Tyson returned to the living room.

 

“Now that we’re ready, let’s go.” Kathleen nodded. She then looked at Yadiel and said, “Let’s go!” Rory watched them leave together. At the Yackley residence, a party was underway to celebrate the twentieth birthday of Josephine Yackley, Stephen’s youngest daughter. Stephen was a professor of finance at Jadeborough University, and many of these renowned people were his students. Therefore, many of them came to Josephine’s birthday party. Josephine looked at the door with anticipation. “Daddy, will Samuel come?” she asked excitedly. Stephen nodded and replied, “He will.” Josephine fiddled with her fingers and said, “This time, he can’t ignore me for being young.” She was already twenty years old. “Josephine, are you really planning to pursue Samuel?” Stephen was a little worried. Everyone in Jadeborough knew who Samuel liked. Even if Kathleen had just passed away, he couldn’t have fallen in love with someone else so quickly. “I don’t care! In short, I want to pursue him,” Josephine said softly. At that time, her elder sister Haylee came over, and her eyes were cold and arrogant. “You are so stubborn.” Josephine said unhappily, “That’s none of your business! Anyway, Mommy agreed.” Haylee was speechless. “By the way, why hasn’t Mommy come down yet?” “She seems to be stuck in a call with our uncle. Our little cousin’s condition is getting worse and worse, so he is begging Mommy to find a way,” Josephine explained. Haylee narrowed her eyes.

 

The Hoover family? “Old Mr. Yackley, Samuel is here.” The butler hurried over. “Really?” Josephine got excited. She straightened her hair and clothes, ready to meet Samuel. Seeing how excited she was, the butler said, “But Mr. Macari brought Yareli with him.” “What?” Josephine was shocked. Not only her but Stephen and Haylee were both shocked too. Samuel brought Yareli? Didn’t Yareli blow up his wife and daughter? What on earth is going on? Before they even finished thinking, Samuel and Yareli walked in while holding hands. Not just the father and daughters, but even the others were equally shocked. That was simply too strange. Kathleen looked at everyone’s reaction and smiled with satisfaction. She whispered to Yadiel, “Be careful if Stephen is looking for you alone later.” “Don’t worry, Dr. Johnson.” Yadiel nodded. They walked toward Stephen and his daughters. Josephine saw Kathleen, and a look of disgust flashed on her expectant face. She didn’t understand why Samuel was with Yareli. Yareli was the one who hurt his wife and daughter. Is he crazy? “Mr. Yackley.” Yadiel’s voice was hoarse. “What’s wrong with your voice?” Stephen was a little surprised. “I’m sick,” Yadiel explained. Stephen deeply furrowed his brows. Yadiel looked at Josephine and said, “Ms. Yackley, I wish you a happy birthday.” “I’m… not happy at all!” Josephine muttered. Haylee poked her from behind, reminding her of the current occasion. Josephine was very unhappy. Stephen said meaningfully, “Samuel, given how you’ve endured a tragic ordeal, I shouldn’t have invited you here. But I assume you’re also aware of the ramifications of this relationship. If you weren’t invited, people would talk.” Yadiel nodded lukewarmly, as he pretended to have Samuel’s icy cold and arrogant aura. Kathleen sneered inwardly. Samuel isn’t afraid of being criticized by others.

 

They are the ones who are afraid of being criticized! If Samuel didn’t come, it would definitely have an impact on them. Josephine looked at him aggrievedly. “Samuel, do you remember our agreement?” Yadiel was speechless. What agreement? Tyson didn’t tell me about that. Kathleen smiled lightly. “Samuel, it turns out that you have an agreement with another woman. Can I know what the agreement is?” “It’s not important,” Yadiel said lightly. Josephine blushed and said aggrievedly, “Samuel, you promised me that at my twentieth birthday party, you would dance with me for the first time.” Yadiel said coldly, “Oh? Really?” Is it true?
