Kathleen smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Pollard. I don’t think you’re the one behind it. I just want to find the real culprit. Perhaps you were framed by your enemy.”

“That’s right! If my enemy was behind this, it must be Samuel!” Ivan exclaimed furiously.

Kathleen narrowed her eyes at him.

It seems like there’s bad blood between Ivan and Samuel.

“Samuel? I didn’t expect my ex-husband would want to kill me,” Kathleen feigned surprise.

An icy glint flashed across Ivan’s eyes. “Why wouldn’t he? He would do anything for Nicolette.”

Kathleen snorted. “That’s not surprising to hear. After all, I was the one who ruined Nicolette’s face. I wonder how she is doing right now.”

“I heard that Samuel found the best plastic surgeon for her. After that, he hid her somewhere else. Ms. Johnson, this kind of man isn’t worth your affection,” Ivan said solemnly.

“You must be joking, Mr. Pollard. How could I still long for him after everything he has done to me? I wish he was dead!” Kathleen said in a chilling voice.

“Do you want me to die?” Samuel’s emotionless voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Kathleen froze on the spot.

Why is he here? This is bad! He’s heard everything I said about him. What awful timing!

She sneaked a peek at Ivan, only to see him smiling maliciously.

That wily old fox!

“Mr. Macari, do you know it’s improper to eavesdrop on other people’s conversation?” Kathleen said sarcastically.

Samuel fixed his cold gaze on Ivan instead. “I’ve been looking for you for days.”

Ivan laughed awkwardly. “Mr. Macari, what are you talking about? I didn’t know you were looking for me. Anyway, I’ve got to go now.”

“Wait!” Kathleen looked anxiously at Ivan, who was about to flee.

Samuel reached out to grab Kathleen’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. He clasped his large hands tightly around her slender waist.
