Divorce Anxiety

Charles fumed. “I’m way better than him. At least I will never let Astrid come near you.”

Kathleen raised her eyebrows. “Do you think he cares about such things? He only cares whether I am the female lead in this movie. He will never ask who the other actors are.”

Charles’s face darkened.

“You should look into who is behind whatever Astrid has done.” Kathleen felt that Charles was wasting his time.

He might be unhappy with Samuel, but he also had to look at the facts.

Charles frowned. “Darling, aren’t you a little too biased toward him?”

Kathleen eyed Charles coolly.

“I’m not saying that you’ve not gotten over him. It’s true that he’s a crafty guy,” Charles hurriedly explained.

“Charles, I know Samuel better than all of you. Samuel has his pride. Do you think he will cast Astrid in this movie, knowing full well that she will make things difficult for me? Don’t you think he will try and stop Astrid from plotting against me?” Kathleen tried to reason with her brother.

“Maybe he’s using Astrid to break you and Christopher up?” Charles retorted.

“But there’s nothing between me and Christopher. What’s the point of getting Astrid into the film crew?” Kathleen shrugged.

Charles paused for a while.

“I’ve already explained everything when we were at Felix’s house. You heard me loud and clear. He knows that there’s nothing between me and Christopher. What’s the point of planting Astrid here? On the contrary, Astrid seems to appear wherever I am. This goes to show that the person is using her to get back at me.” Kathleen analyzed the situation for Charles.

Charles thought Kathleen’s speculation sounded reasonable. “Are you saying that you intend to let Astrid stay with the film crew?”

“Yes. I want to cast a long line to catch the big fish. These people must have a motive for getting close to me,” Kathleen said.

“Won’t you be in danger then?” Worry puckered Charles’ brows.

“They won’t dare to act rashly. The main thing is, if Astrid is not sent by the Yoeger family, they won’t dare to be too impulsive,” Kathleen deduced.

Besides, Samuel had sent someone to protect her on the sly.

What could happen to me?

Charles asked, “What do your think is their motive?”

Kathleen took a bite of the cake. “I think their target is Samuel and Christopher. They want to see the both of them on opposing sides.”

“Opposing sides? If both of them start to fight, it could be a matter of life and death. In the end, it might be a no-win situation for both of them.”
