All Too Late

Tyson heaved a sigh of relief.

Mr. Macari isn’t being sarcastic today, after all.

“Have Vanessa’s people gone to the villa?” Samuel asked.

“She did send some scouts to gather information,” Tyson reported. “In response, I had sent our defense the items according to your instructions, Mr. Macari. They should make a move tonight.”

“Good,” Samuel said calmly. “Let them make the first move tonight. If they decide to attack, we’ll just send them a message. There’s no need to overdo it.”

Tyson nodded. “Yes, sir.”

“What’s going on at Yoeger Group?” Samuel asked next.

“Nothing much.” Tyson hesitated for a while before adding, “I heard that Yareli has returned to the country. Apparently, she’d gotten a divorce from the son of the Yates family.”

Samuel chuckled grimly. “She left Joel Yates?”

Tyson nodded in response.

“The Yoegers are an ungrateful bunch,” Samuel said scornfully. “Contact Joel and extend an offer to a partnership on my behalf. I can help him achieve revenge.”

“Yes, sir. Consider it done.” Tyson nodded again.

“Return to the office with these documents,” Samuel ordered. “We’ll talk about everything else tonight.”

“Yes, Mr. Macari.” Tyson held the thick stack of documents against his chest and turned to exit the room.

Upon passing the ward next door and noticing the ajar door, he glanced inside to discover, to his astonishment, that Kathleen had settled down and that Christopher had arrived.
