All Too Late

Chapter 284 Lady Of The Macari Family

The housekeeper dashed toward Frances’ side. Panting heavily, she asked, “Is everything all right, Old Mrs. Yoeger?”

“I’m okay. Let’s go home. I’m tired.” Frances’ face was pale.

Huh?

“Okay.”

The housekeeper was stunned momentarily before helping Frances back to the house.

Little did they know that Giselle had been observing them from the window on the second floor.

She had a panoramic view of the entire commotion.

Back at the Yoeger residence, Zachary heaved a sigh of relief the moment he saw his daughter stepping into the house.

The second Nicolette caught sight of her father, she, however, shot him a vicious glare.

“I’m so glad that you’re back, Nicolette!” came Zachary’s greeting, his voice as loving as ever.

What a hypocrite!

Nicolette had thought that her father genuinely doted on her.

Alas, she finally understood that Zachary had only been making use of her.

Meanwhile, Zachary had sensed a change in Nicolette’s attitude.

That flustered him for a bit before he continued, “There’s no need to worry anymore because you’re safe now.”

Nicolette then raised a question leisurely. “Did you really send someone to go rescue me?”

Her words caught Zachary by surprise. “Of course I did!”

Even so, Nicolette simply took her father’s words with a grain of salt.

“I was panic-stricken the moment you went missing, so I dispatched gazillions of people,” explained Zachary in a heartbeat. “But, you know, I still couldn’t hold a candle to Samuel.”

Pursing her lips, Nicolette scoffed, “Now I finally see how lousy the Yoeger family is! We’re so inferior to the Macaris that we’re completely under their heel.”

Zachary felt a twinge of guilt. “It’s my bad. I’m always under the weather, which is why our family hasn’t risen through the ranks for so long.”
