chapter 104

Kathleen did not believe him. “Will you?”

“You’ll find out when you come over to my place,” Samuel replied with a raspy voice.

With that, he put down his long arm that was pressing the door shut.

Kathleen bolted out of the room right after that, as though she was running away from a savage beast.

Smirking, Samuel muttered under his breath, “You can’t escape me.”

Kathleen found Charles and grabbed his hand. ”Let’s go, Charles!”

With a glance at her lips, Charles asked, “Did Samuel bully you?”

Kathleen’s lipstick had faded, indicating that she had been kissed.

Kathleen’s cheeks flushed red. She barked, “Don’t bring him up!”

Charles realized that his speculation was true.

Samuel, you b*stard!

Kathleen got into the car and fastened her seat belt.

Charles asked as he started the engine, “Do you know what Vanessa told me?”

Kathleen shook her head.

“She told me that Nicolette has been living in a mansion over the past year. Someone called Melvin Lambert had been taking good care of her. Apart from restricted movement, she’s living quite comfortably.”

Kathleen’s fingers clenched tightly when she heard that.

I knew Samuel couldn’t bear to see Nicolette suffer at all. He has taken great measures to protect her.

Kathleen snorted. “I never expect him to be kind to me. Charles, you don’t need to tell me about this. I won’t go back to him.”

“I’m glad you understand.” Charles was worried that Kathleen might still be pining for Samuel.

Ten years of unrequited love isn’t something one can forget overnight. If Kathleen can let it go, she wouldn’t have… Forget about it. I have to tell Samuel to stop pestering her.

Charles took Kathleen to the filming set. He looked deeply into her eyes. “Kate, don’t be afraid of anything. I’m here for you.”

She nodded in acknowledgement.

“Have a good rest. I’ll get you a script today. Don’t think about anything else,” Charles reminded.

“Okay, Charles. Drive safe,” she said warmly.

“Of course. Get in, then.” Charles nodded.

Kathleen turned around and went inside.

After that, Charles lit up a cigarette.

Looking up, he saw the Maybach parked not far away from him.

Charles snorted at the coincidence. He got out of his car and walked over to the Maybach.

Samuel opened the car door and asked in a chilling tone, “Are you getting in, or should I come out?”

“Samuel, leave my sister alone. Kathleen doesn’t like you anymore. Do you understand?” Charles threatened viciously.

“No, I don’t,” Samuel replied nonchalantly.

Charles bared his teeth at him. “You truly have no shame, haven’t you? Do you remember how you treated Kathleen all these years?”

“I know I’ve wronged her in the past. I’ll make up for it. I want to treat her well in the future,” Samuel said in a low voice.

“In the future?” Charles laughed in exasperation. “Do you think you have a future with her? You allowed your woman to do whatever she pleased with Kathleen. A sc*mbag like you should be locked up with that b*tch! You should stay together! That way, you won’t cause any harm to other people!”

Samuel’s face turned gloomy as he warned, ”I won’t hit you because I don’t want to upset Kathleen, but that doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of you.”

Charles burst into laughter when he heard the threat. “Do you honestly think Kathleen will appreciate this?”

Samuel did not say a word.

“Fine. I’ll go to the Morris family and let Kathleen marry Christopher as soon as possible. Let’s see if you dare to cling to a married woman. Hah! She will be your sister-in-law in the future!” Charles fumed.

Samuel glared at him in response.

Emanating a cold aura, Charles left with a cigarette in his mouth.

Samuel twiddled the wedding ring in his hand. I’ll never let Kathleen marry another man.

The next day, Kathleen got up and went out to attend the recording.

The production team made the task more difficult for the participants today.

“Here’s the deal. Many people want to come for dinner, but they don’t have the time. So, your task today is to make fifty takeaways and deliver them. We’ll give you the address later,” Cain informed them.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Fifty takeaways?

“You have four hours left. If you complete the task, you will be given an additional four thousand for the start-up capital,” Cain declared.

Everyone was tempted by the reward.

After all, they had spent almost all their money when they went out to make their purchases the day before.

“Let’s do this,” Kathleen suggested.

“Fifty takeaways. You’ll need to have greens as well as meat. Kathleen, are you sure you can do this alone?” Nancy looked at her worriedly.

“How can you not have faith in Kathleen after the banquet two nights ago?” Kylie taunted in a low voice.

“I think we should make one dish each.” Steve picked up the lunch box on the side and instructed, “John, go ahead and cook the pasta.”

“All right.” John nodded in agreement.

“Kathleen, Nancy, you two should be in charge of cooking the main dish. The three of us aren’t good at cooking. So, we’ll do the washing and chopping instead,” Steve arranged.

Kathleen and Nancy nodded gently in unison.

Feeling aggrieved, Kylie complained, “My foot still hurts.”

John sneered at her. “You were as fit as a fiddle when you went upstairs yesterday. How did you get injured all of a sudden? You should go home and recuperate. Why are you still taking part in this show? You want to make money, yet you aren’t helpful at all. How ridiculous!”

“You!” Kylie’s face flushed with embarrassment.

After successfully provoking her, John went about his task.

“Nancy, you should prepare the vegetables. I’ll do the rest,” Kathleen suggested.

“Okay.” Nancy nodded.

The duo went to work together.

Kylie was suddenly left alone in the restaurant. She felt rather awkward.

Why is Kylie still on the show? Why won’t they let her go?

I know, right? She’s looking for a fight every day. It’s so annoying!

She’s behaving like this in the livestream. Can you imagine what she’s like in private? I’m begging the production team to get rid of her quickly.

The comments section was full of complaints. The audience was sick of Kylie’s disruptive antics.

Nevertheless, Kylie had no clue about the negativity she had garnered. She silently shed tears as she looked into the camera. She was trying to portray herself as a victim of bullying.

Three hours and a half later, the quartet completed fifty takeaways.

Kathleen made a chicken casserole and shrimp cocktail, while Nancy made asparagus risotto with lemon.

They also made beef stew.

On the other hand, Kylie did not contribute the entire time.

She just sat there and cried pitifully.

Jeez. Has she been crying for four hours? Is there any water left in her?

Nah. She hasn’t been crying for that long. She only shed some tears at the beginning. She was in a daze the whole time.

If she wants to repent for what she did, she wouldn’t be sitting here for four hours.

At that moment, Cain spoke up. “These fifty meals are to be delivered to Macari Group.”

Kathleen was rendered speechless.

Everyone immediately looked at her with interest before turning their heads to Cain.

They must have arranged this on purpose.

Kathleen knew that the production team would not dare to pull this stunt.

Samuel must be behind this!

“Let’s go together. It’s just a task. No one will refuse, right?” Cain asked, testing the waters.

Kylie suddenly sprang to life. She said sarcastically, “Mr. Dodson, I have a high degree of compatibility. I’ll go! Unlike someone, I know how to draw a line between personal matters with business.”

Her remarks left everyone at the scene speechless.

What a joke! You’re one to talk.

Kathleen knew Kylie was mocking her just now.

“I have no problem with that,” she said indifferently.
