All Too Late

Chapter 229 As Expected Of Samuel

“Go and call Zachary and Vanessa over. I will tell them about this,” Frances instructed.

However, Yasmine stopped her. “Listen to me, Frances. There is no use calling them here now. They won’t listen to you anymore.”

“What?” Frances’ face turned gloomy.

“They’ve got something to do with your poisoning. Why don’t you acknowledge Kate first? It doesn’t matter whether or not they accept her,” Yasmine advised.

Frances furrowed her eyebrows. “I was poisoned?”

“Yes,” Yasmine said helplessly. “There’s even a video to prove it.”

“Frances, you have to make sure not to give out the remaining thirty percent of shares in your hands. Otherwise, not only would you have nothing to give to Kate, you would be benefitting them,” Yasmine warned.

Frances nodded seriously. “You’re right. I’ll give these shares to Kate, then.”

At that moment, Kathleen spoke up. “Granny, there is no need to rush. If you give them to me, Vanessa will only be more pissed and anxious. She might even—”

Yasmine interjected, “Kate, just take them. To tell you the truth, it’s more dangerous to let Frances keep the shares. They might even trick her into giving up the shares. In the worst-case scenario, they would neglect Frances since she would become useless to them without the shares.”

“She is my granny. I will definitely care for her. There is no need for them to trouble themselves!” Kathleen blurted with frustration.

“Kate, if you’re going to inherit the thirty percent of shares from the Yaeger family, then you have to accept the Schotts’ thirty percent of shares as well,” Yasmine uttered. “These shares can only be transferred after your grandmother and I sign the papers, which is why Vanessa never dared to offend me.”

Kathleen was stunned. “The Schotts?”

“Yes.” Yasmine nodded lightly. “Although I’m in charge of the Schott family now, the shares are jointly owned by me and Frances. However, I own a bigger share since Frances focused on running the Yoeger family’s business after she got married. I am the one managing the shares now, so they’re scared to offend me.”

It was only then that Kathleen realized why Vanessa always seemed to be afraid of Yasmine.

Suddenly, a look of confusion appeared on Frances’ face. “Oh? Young woman, who are you?”

Kathleen stiffened.
