All Too Late

Chapter 451 Innocence

“Poisoning is not difficult.” Lauren smiled confidently. “As long as Kathleen winds up dead, there will always be a way.”

Ashley then murmured, “You still need to keep it under wraps. Make sure nobody finds out about this.”

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen,” Lauren smiled meaningfully.

Ashley’s face showed a hint of distress.

“How are you going to work out your engagement ceremony with Samuel?” Lauren asked curiously.

“He didn’t mention it.” Ashley shook her head slowly.

“He did not mention it, yes, but it wasn’t an outright refusal, right?” asked Lauren again.

“Yes.”

“Since that’s the case, what are you still waiting for? Hurry up and have it sorted,” Lauren urged. “As long as you and Samuel are engaged, he will be yours. Then you’ll have some sort of backing. Why would you still be scared of Kathleen?”

Ashley mused over this, thinking that Lauren’s words made perfect sense. “Yes, I’ll step up on preparations then.”

“Alright. Then I’ll decide on which poison to administer to Old Mrs. Macari. Things should be happening right on schedule,” said Lauren with a wry smile.

Ashley was also looking forward to this.

Samuel arrived at the Macari Group for work.

As soon as he appeared, the entire company was abuzz with gossip.

“The CEO is back, but he seems to have a foot injury. Why is he on crutches?”

“Don’t worry. Kathleen will definitely have him in good shape again. She’s a famous doctor, after all.”

“Don’t be stupid. The CEO is about to get engaged to Ashley, so how can Kathleen treat the CEO’s injuries?”

“He doesn’t really like Ashley, does he?”

“Why wouldn’t he? I heard that it was Ashley who rescued him. She injured her arm so badly in the process that she couldn’t move it for a bit. Anyone would be moved by that gesture.”

“Did Mr. Macari break up with Kathleen just because of this?”
