All Too Late

Chapter 377:

They Are Not Yoegers Kathleen nodded. Charles instructed, “It's getting late.

Go on and head to sleep.

Don’t Forget thatyou're still injured.” “I'm all right,” replied Kathleen with a shake of her head.

She added, “My injuries have long healed, Charles.

Why don't you letme stay up to keep watch? You should rest.” “There's no need.

You can get some rest.

I'm still around.” Given that he was her brother, there was no way that he could allow her to stay up and watch over him all night. “All right then,” conceded Kathleen as she yawned widely.

She added, “I'll drop by again tomorrow.” “Okay.” He nodded his head in acknowledgment. With that, Kathleen rose to her feet and declared, “I'll be heading off to bed then.” Following that, she proceeded up the stairs without sparing so much as a second glance at Samuel.

For his part, Samuel merely sat there motionless and did not react to her departure. “What do you want to talk to me about?” asked Charles slowly. However, Samuel merely shook his head silently.

He had only stayed back as he wasn't feeling particularly sleepy. Faced with such silence, Charles finally rose to his feet and walked over to sit next to Samuel.

After a brief pause, Charles asked, “I don't think you need me to explain what my granny was getting at with her words earlier, do you? Deep down, you should know as well.” As per before, Samuel did not say a single word in response. Charles was egged on and slowly added, “Since you understand, then from today onward, shouldn't you—” “What if she isn't disappointed in me?” countered Samuel suddenly. Charles was caught off guard momentarily.

heavy sigh of relief, and her shoulders sagged as all tension left her body. She knew that there were moments when a direct conversation would not reveal the truth, and this was one of them. Two days later, Frances' funeral was successfully conducted in an extremely low-profile manner. Once the funeral proceedings had come to an end, Charles turned to Zachary and Yareli and said, “We'll head over to the Yoeger residence with the lawyer later on so that we can commence with the reading of Granny's will.” Zachary asked coldly, “Do you really intend to disband and break up Yoeger Group?” Charles smiled wryly as he replied, “You'll find out when we head over to the Yoeger residence.” With that, he strode away coolly from the pair. Kathleen prepared to take her leave as well. Elsewhere, Yareli strode over to stop right in front of Samuel, where she quietly began, “Samuel, about the wedding...” “I don't want to marry you,” he replied flatly. She was taken aback and demanded,

Over at the Yoeger residence, Zachary sat nervously on the couch as he pondered exactly how much of the assets would be allocated to him.

Kathleen was a little surprised as she blurted out, “Desi and Eil as well?” “You're their parent, so it's all right for you to listen in on their behalf since they aren't around,” stated Wynnie. Kathleen nodded and replied, “All right.” Wynnie cleared her throat and continued, “According to the prenuptial agreement signed by Frances Schott and Hector Yoeger back then, she was allowed to freely allocate all the assets
