Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 289

Chapter 289 A Better Future
Frances’ gaze darkened. “Don’t worry. That’s what I came here for.”
“Granny, what do you mean by that?” Kathleen was a little taken aback.
Frances gestured for her to stay calm for the moment.
“Zachary, I want you to make a promise to me.” Frances cast him a stern look.
“Go ahead, Mom. I’ll do anything you ask me to,” Zachary said softly.
Frances replied coldly, “I only need you to make a vow that you will never go against Kate in the future.”
Zachary was taken aback by her request. “Mom, although Kate’s mom isn’t my real sibling, we’re still cousins. That makes Kate my niece. Why would I go against her?”
“Just promise me!” Frances demanded sternly.
“Okay.” Zachary nodded sheepishly.
“Furthermore, I want to give my shares of Yoeger Group to Kate. You guys aren’t allowed to vie for it. Besides swearing in front of me, I want you to post a statement on Twitter,” Frances ordered seriously.
What on earth is she talking about?
Zachary was stunned by her request.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to do so?” she questioned coldly.
After a moment of pause, Zachary answered gingerly, “I-I will do it.”
“Very well, then. If you do as I say, I’ll step up and help you to stabilize the situation tomorrow,” Frances promised.
He pursed his lips and replied, “All right.”
“Go ahead and make your vow,” Frances ordered impassively.
Stretching out his hand slowly, Zachary uttered, “I swear that I will never go against Kathleen.”

“What if you break your vow?” Frances probed nonchalantly.
Zachary gritted his teeth and declared, “Then, I’ll be struck dead by lightning and rot in hell!”
Are you satisfied now?
Yareli looked at Zachary in amazement. What a vicious oath!
“Yareli, what about you?” Frances asked coldly.
Yareli was surprised by the mention of her name. “Me? Granny, do I have to swear in front of you too?” she asked sheepishly.
“Of course.” Frances did not want to state the obvious.
Even though Yareli had not done anything to Kathleen, Frances did not think that she was innocent either.
“I…” Unlike Zachary, Yareli was reluctant to make a vow.
Frances gave her a frosty look.
Pursing her lips, Yareli muttered pitifully, “Granny, I promise to get along with Kate in the future. After all, we’re cousins and related by blood.”
Nevertheless, Frances remained silent.
Looking at Kathleen, Yareli asked, “What do you think, Kate?”
Kathleen felt disgusted upon hearing how Yareli called out to her intimately. “You don’t need to do that. Let’s steer clear of each other in the future. You guys should do as Granny says. Besides, you are the ones who need her help, not me.”
Yareli stiffened. Feeling displeased, she pretended to yield. “All right. I swear that if I do Kathleen wrong, my mom will die a painful death. Is this good enough for you?”
Kathleen gave her a long, meaningful look.
“You’re truly your mom’s precious eldest child. How filial of you to swear on her life,” Kathleen remarked sarcastically.
Yareli gritted her teeth upon hearing Kathleen’s jibe. She cursed the latter several times silently.
Gosh, I want to eat her alive.
“You guys better remember the vows you made today. Only time will tell if this will come back to bite you,” Frances reminded seriously.
Zachary and Yareli were flustered by her words.
“Come with me, Kate,” Frances urged.
“Okay.” Kathleen followed her out of the ward.
As Samuel prepared to leave, Yareli called out. “Samuel.”
However, he pretended not to hear anything.
“Wait, Samuel. I have something to tell you.” Yareli tugged on his arm.
Samuel shook her off. “So, you get handsy with me since you can’t talk properly, right?”
Yareli was snubbed by him.
Biting her lip, Yareli pleaded, “Samuel, why are you treating me like this? I only want to ask you to help me save my mom.”
“She deserves to die,” Samuel uttered emotionlessly.
“Samuel, can you help me for the sake of our relationship in the past?” Yareli sobbed.
His expression darkened at once. “There’s nothing between us. Stop making a fool of yourself.”
With that, he spun around and left.
