All Too Late

Chapter 417 The Winner Takes It All

A woman as vicious as Luna would never let anyone who owed her off the hook.

Hence, she was determined to stay and watch Nicolette suffer.

“Mom, I’m not leaving. I can’t leave you behind.” Yareli was reluctant.

“Stop wasting time and leave now!” Vanessa gritted her teeth. “Remember this, don’t try to save me or come back for me. Also, be more obedient to your biological father. All he has is a son and a daughter, who are younger than you, but no wife. As long as you use your head the right way, you won’t have to worry about your livelihood.”

“Mom.” Tears welled up in Yareli’s eyes.

“Listen to me. Leave now.” Vanessa caressed her daughter’s face and said, “Go.”

“All right.” Yareli nodded in response.

“Ask Kathleen and the rest to come here,” Vanessa said.

“Okay.” Then, Yareli turned around and left.

Moments later, Kathleen and Samuel entered the room with Charles in tow.

Vanessa stared at them coldly while she stated, “Kathleen, I want you to send Yareli to Turlen. She’ll never return to this country from now onward. What do you say?”

Kathleen replied flatly, “Okay. I agree.”

“Do you promise?” An icy expression shrouded Vanessa’s face.

“If you don’t trust me, we can call off our deal now.” Kathleen remained indifferent.

To that, Vanessa sneered, “You’ve probably figured out what happened by now, haven’t you, Kathleen?”

“I’d still like to hear about it from your perspective,” Kathleen replied.

Vanessa took a deep breath before she began. “It’s simple. Luna is a jealous and narrow-minded person. After she found out about Trevor and your granny, she immediately set off to look for my father, Hector. Then, she told my father she’d collaborate with him on one condition. And that was to kill your mother.”

Kathleen frowned upon hearing that. “Kill?”
