All Too Late

Chapter 263 Burning Bridges

“If they dare do anything to the Macari family, you best believe I would never let them walk away unscathed.” Calvin’s gaze turned flinty. “Everything’s fine, so don’t worry.”

Wynnie pursed her lips, her expression still one of worry and anxiety.

Samuel went upstairs and knocked on Kathleen’s door. She answered with a puzzled expression. “What’s the matter?”

“Can we talk?” he asked in a low voice.

“Sure.” Kathleen shifted to let him in, and he followed.

They had shared this bedroom before, but he felt that something was missing in her absence of a year. Now that she moved back in, she had breathed life back into the space.

“What do you want to talk about?” Kathleen sipped on a cup of fruit tea.

“The Yoeger family.” Samuel’s expression was cold.

Kathleen immediately perked up at the mention of the Yoeger family. “Did they make a move?” She was intrigued.

“Not at the moment,” Samuel said evenly. “But I reckon they’ll make a move soon.”

“That’s hardly surprising. After all, they are under such immense pressure and criticism from the public that they’ll probably want to get this over with as soon as possible. But there’s nothing they can do if Granny doesn’t go back,” she reflected.

“So, we have to stop the Yoeger family from contacting your grandmother. I’m sure you’re aware of how frail she is. Besides, Ms. Schott isn’t here. You need to be more careful,” he reminded gravely.

“I’m not afraid of them. I want to know if Old Mr. Yoeger had sent my mom to the orphanage and who her biological father is,” she said coldly.

These two questions were her utmost priority.

Unfortunately, Hector had passed, and dead men tell no tales. There was insufficient proof based on Samuel’s presumption alone.

“Old Mr. Yoeger couldn’t have done something like this on his own. He would need help to cover this up, from the doctor who had to steal your mother away to the security guard deleting the surveillance footage.”
