All Too Late

Zachary’s anger subsided after he listened to Vanessa’s explanation.

“I truly didn’t expect Aunt Yasmine to return.” Zachary felt utterly regretful.

“It means we aren’t ruthless enough.” Vanessa’s voice fell to a hush.

Zachary’s face darkened. “We’re talking about our mother here!”

Vanessa sneered, “Zachary, don’t you already know our true relationship with her deep down?”

Zachary knew that Vanessa was referring to Frances.

“Nevertheless, she was the one who brought us up after all,” Zachary murmured. “Furthermore, even if she is not our biological mother, she’s our second aunt who is related to us by blood.”

“Haha.” Vanessa laughed in ridicule. “You’re so naive.”

Zachary was displeased by her words.

“I only know she plans to pass down the Yoeger family assets which belonged to us to that illegitimate brat, who doesn’t even know the identity of her father. Who gave her the right to give that brat our family’s inheritance?” Vanessa felt very resentful.

Zachary took in a deep breath.

“If you regret it, you can choose to back out.” Vanessa directed her words to Zachary in an apathetic voice. “You can arrange the matter regarding the kidney transplant too. I couldn’t care less.”

Zachary’s face turned gloomy. “I didn’t say anything.”

“Let me get things straight today, Zachary. I’ll spare no mercy to those who dare to get in my way. Don’t assume I won’t dare take action just because she’s our aunt.” Vanessa narrowed her eyes. “Unlike you, I’m not a coward!”

With that, she went upstairs.

Zachary’s complexion turned even paler.

Don’t tell me Vanessa even plan to get rid of Aunt Yasmine? Wouldn’t that be too vicious?

When Frances got sent to Goodwill Hospital, the doctor immediately performed a throughout body check-up on her.

After that, the doctor called the others to his office.

“Old Mrs. Yoeger indeed has symptoms of poisoning. However, the signs are already very mild,” the doctor explained.

“Then why is she always unconscious?” Yasmine expressed her concern.

“It’s because the poison has not completely passed out of her system, which would take a day or two,” the doctor answered. “Fortunately, Old Mrs. Yoeger has no other health issues. You can be at ease.”
