Divorce Anxiety Chapter 153

“Chris, I’m not looking down on you,” Kathleen explained awkwardly.

“It’s fine.” Christopher’s face was clouded with disappointment. “I know I’m not as good as Samuel.”

Kathleen kept quiet, not knowing how to respond because that was not what she meant.

However, she decided not to clarify Christopher’s misunderstanding since she did not want to complicate things further.

She believed Christopher would understand her concerns.

He merely felt dissatisfied that she chose Samuel over him.

At that moment, Samuel entered the ward with a medical report in his hand.

He left the room because he had gone to retrieve the report for her.

It was at that time when Christopher had come to see her.

“You’re awake?” Samuel asked Kathleen without sparing a single glance at Christopher.

Kathleen nodded. “Are the results out?”

“Yes,” Samuel replied as he passed the report to her. “It seems that pill is indeed an antidote. There are no toxins detected in your body.”

“That’s good.” She heaved a sigh of relief.

Samuel’s expression darkened when he finally noticed Christopher.

Christopher quietly asked, “Where’s Clement?”

The question was directed at Samuel.

“He’s being locked up.” Samuel then continued coldly, “I’ve heard that the Corbyn family went to beg you for help.”

When Kathleen heard what he had said, she froze on the spot.

The Corbyn family begged Christopher for help? Could the Corbyn family already have plans to work with the Morris family?

Samuel turned around to pour a glass of water before passing it to Kathleen and coldly remarked, “Do the Corbyn family regret their decision to use Astrid to ruin your relationship with Kate?”

Christopher remained silent.

“Otherwise, Kate would have handed the land deeds to you for the sake of helping her fiancé, even though the engagement was fake. This way, the Corbyn family would be able to work with you with confidence. Am I right?” Samuel questioned sarcastically.

Upon hearing his words, Christopher’s eyes turned icy cold.

“I bet the Morris and Corbyn families were already in cahoots when I ruined your plan with Olivia two years ago. Too bad none of you had expected the land deeds to be in Kate’s hands,” he mocked.

A frown formed across Kathleen’s forehead.

The Morris and Corbyn families have been in cahoots since long ago?

With a smirk, Samuel continued, “I don’t want to wrongfully accuse you because I doubt you have any say in the plan. I’m pretty sure your grandfather was the one who came up with this plan.”

“Samuel, don’t you think you know too much?” Christopher asked as he shot a cold glare at him.

“Haha! I think you just don’t want me to spill too much in front of Kate,” Samuel replied coldly.

Knowing that he could not refute, Christopher could only narrow his eyes and glare at Samuel.

“Samuel, you told me before you would never lie to me. So tell me, what do you know?” Kathleen asked with knitted brows.

“I will tell you whatever you want to know,” he replied solemnly.

Worried about what Samuel was about to say next, Christopher quickly voiced out. “You don’t have to do that. I will tell her myself.”

Samuel gestured for Christopher to go ahead and tell Kathleen everything.

There was no reason to stop Christopher from spilling the beans himself.

Looking at Christopher, Kathleen asked, “Chris, what’s going on?”

After a moment of hesitation, Christopher finally explained, “Grandpa told me that we can get married as long as you hand over the two land deeds to the Morris family. From then on, the Morris family will treat you well, like how the Macari family has been treating you.”

After listening to his explanation, Kathleen remained silent.
