All Too Late

Chapter 285 Three More Cripples

“I’m not going to ask the Yoeger family for mercy on your behalf,” Kathleen clarified. “I’m only promising you that Zachary won’t touch your kidney.”

“Let’s meet, then,” Nicolette said.

Kathleen scoffed. “Do we still need to meet over this matter?”

“Kathleen, I have Melting Ice Grass,” Nicolette revealed. “Do you want it?”

Her words stunned Kathleen. “What did you just say?”

Melting Ice Grass? How could she have that?

Kathleen frowned and asked again, “What are you trying to say?”

“I heard from Samuel that your brother had been poisoned,” Nicolette replied.

“That’s impossible. Samuel would never tell you that!” Kathleen wouldn’t believe her words.

“Kathleen, you guys fought, didn’t you?” There was a half-smile on Nicolette’s face. “He wants to destroy the Blissful Sect, but the sect has the medicine that can save your brother. That’s why you guys turned against each other, right?”

Kathleen was stunned.

How could she know about what Samuel and I talked about last night? We were the only ones present. No one else was there!

This meant that Samuel was the only person who could tell Nicolette about it.

Kathleen sneered, “Samuel actually told you?”

“I used to be his confidante, after all,” Nicolette boasted. “Kathleen, you can’t deny that I’m better at coaxing men than you do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to maintain our relationship no matter how many lies I tell. Am I right?”

Kathleen froze.

Indeed, Nicolette’s words made sense.

“Give me the Melting Ice Grass. I’ll agree to any condition you state.”

Nicolette’s expression looked ambiguous as she said, “Sure. Come and meet me on your own.”

“Sure,” Kathleen agreed without any hesitation.

After Nicolette gave her an address, Kathleen hung up the phone, ready to head there right away.

Giselle held her back. “Ms. Johnson, where are you going?”

“Nicolette has Melting Ice Grass,” Kathleen said eagerly. “I’m going to meet her.”

She then took out a document from the drawer to bring with her.

“Ms. Johnson, have you ever wondered why she would have Melting Ice Grass with her? It could be fake,” Giselle advised.

“Whether or not it’s fake, I have to go. Melting Ice Grass is the only antidote to my brother’s poison. The effectiveness of the Blissful Sect’s Snow Grass is quite average. It can only suppress the symptoms but not remove the poison.”

“Let me go with you.” Giselle was very worried.

“I’m fine. She won’t be able to do anything. Don’t worry, Giselle. I’m totally prepared,” Kathleen reassured.

Giselle pursed her lips. “How come Nicolette knows so much, though?”

“Samuel told her,” Kathleen said with darkened eyes, shocking Giselle with her words.

“I’m leaving now.” After saying that, Kathleen left in a hurry.

Worried about her safety, Giselle could only follow her in secret.

Nicolette had asked Kathleen to meet her in a bar that was also involved in some shady business.

Kathleen had long heard about it, and she was surprised that Nicolette actually found this place.

Things were getting more and more interesting.

When Kathleen walked into the bar, a man approached her. “Who are you looking for?”

“Nicolette Yoeger,” answered Kathleen coldly.

“This way.” The man started leading the way, and Kathleen couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.

Upon arriving at a room, the man gestured at the door. “Please enter.”

Kathleen opened the door and saw Nicolette sitting on a couch inside.

“That was quick,” Nicolette remarked with a faint smile.

Walking inside, Kathleen responded, “You surprised me.”

“What’s that in your hand?” Nicolette asked with curiosity.

“Zachary doesn’t have kidney cancer. He was fooled by someone. This is the proof.”

Immediately, Nicolette’s eyes lit up. “Give it to me!”

“Where’s the Melting Ice Grass?” Kathleen asked icily.
