Chapter 447 Maybe He Has His Reasons
Samuel remained impassive. “Are you really going to fetch them?”
“Do you not believe me?” There was a hint of despair in Ashley’s eyes.
“I’m going to have a rest,” Samuel responded flatly.
He then walked into the bedroom and closed the door behind him.
A cold glint flashed across Ashley’s eyes as she stood outside the door.
She picked up her phone and sent Trevor a text.
Trevor has to help me with this! If not, I’ll drag him down with me!
Meanwhile, Kathleen reached her office.
Everyone else in the company had already seen Samuel’s interview at the airport as well as the news of his engagement, and all of them looked at her with complicated expressions.
However, Kathleen wasn’t bothered by that and proceeded to find Calvin.
Calvin’s eyes darkened when he saw her. “Didn’t you go and find Samuel?”
“There’s no need to,” Kathleen replied nonchalantly. “No matter what’s the reason he’s getting engaged to Ashley is, I don’t want to see him.”
Calvin frowned at this. “Perhaps Samuel has his reasons for it.”
“Maybe.” Kathleen remained impassive. “Mr. Macari, since Samuel is already back, I won’t get involved with Macari Group’s business.”
In the past, she used to be Samuel’s ex-wife, a mother to two of his children and was supposed to be his fiancée at that moment.
But now, she was nothing.
“Kate…” Calvin couldn’t find the words to continue.
“But don’t you worry, Mr. Macari. I’m sure that Trevor is only going against Macari Group because of me. I’ll take full responsibility for this,” Kathleen replied solemnly.
After hearing this, Calvin was perplexed and asked, “But if you aren’t going to become the CEO, how are you going to handle this?”
“I have my own ways,” Kathleen responded.
After thinking about it, Calvin said, “Okay.”
“I’ll make a move first, Mr. Macari.” With that, Kathleen turned around.
Calvin also stood up. “Kate, Samuel won’t fall for anyone else. I think that perhaps he also lost his memory, just like you.”
Kathleen stopped in her tracks. “I understand what you mean, Mr. Macari. I’ve never denied Samuel’s feelings toward me, but neither am I going to take any initiative about it. If he comes looking for me, I won’t reject him either.”
With that, she walked away.
Calvin let out a sigh of helplessness.
After about ten minutes, the door to his office was opened.
Calvin looked up.
There was only one person who dared to enter his office like that.
“Come with me!” Wynnie furrowed her brows.
“Have you found where Samuel is?” Calvin asked curiously.
“Yes!” Wynnie fumed. “I can’t believe this brat actually moved into Ashley’s place. We have to get him back!”
Calvin hesitated for a moment before replying, “Let’s go.”
He then followed Wynnie to the condominium.
To Wynnie, finding Samuel’s whereabouts was just a piece of cake.
Wynnie pressed the doorbell.
Not a single sound was heard in the house.
Wynnie started to get agitated and kept on pressing the doorbell.
Just then, she heard a sound coming from the inside.
However, the door still wasn’t opened.
What’s going on?
On the other hand, Samuel was woken up by the sound of the doorbell and walked out of his room.
Before that, Ashley had already peeked through the peephole and saw who was outside.
When she saw Wynnie, Ashley’s heart started palpitating furiously.
What’s Wynnie doing here?
Ashley started to get anxious.
Wynnie was completely different from Kathleen.
After all, the former was Samuel’s mother, and there was no way that Samuel wouldn’t listen to her.
“Why aren’t you opening the door?” Samuel asked coldly.
“I…” Ashley was stumped.
She didn’t want to open the door.
Seeing that she was stunned, Samuel walked over and opened the door.
When Wynnie saw Samuel, the look of heartache flashed across her face.
She turned to look at Ashley.
Slap!
A resonating slap landed on Ashley’s face.
“Mrs. Macari?” Ashley was stunned.
“Don’t call me that! You disgust me!” Wynnie spat icily.
Ashley was on the verge of tears as she looked at Samuel with an aggrieved expression.
Samuel frowned.
“I’m your mother!” Wynnie glared at Samuel furiously. “This is your father!”
She then took out a stack of documents from her folder and added, “These are the paternity test results and everything else about you!”
Samuel was left speechless.
Wynnie was enraged. “Why did you have to get engaged to this woman? Haven’t you already proposed to Kate?”
The expression on Samuel’s face remained cold. “Kate?”
“Kathleen Johnson, your ex-wife, who’s now your fiancée!” Wynnie replied.
“Hasn’t she already fallen for someone else?” Samuel asked calmly.
Wynnie furrowed her brows as she turned to look at Ashley. “Did you tell him this?”
“I haven’t said anything wrong, have I, Mrs. Macari? Previously, Kathleen was indeed going to get married to Caleb. Wasn’t Ryder also pursuing her some time ago?” Ashley questioned nonchalantly.
Wynnie scoffed. “Back then, Kathleen was forced to marry Caleb. Besides, the wedding wasn’t even successful because Samuel crashed it. As for Ryder, that happened before Samuel proposed to Kathleen. The two of them are completely unrelated!”
“Mrs. Macari, perhaps you didn’t know that I was the one who saved Samuel,” Ashley continued calmly. “If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even be able to see your son now.”
Wynnie was stunned by Ashley’s words.
Ashley rolled up her sleeve and went on, “I even got injured while saving Samuel, Mrs. Macari.”
There were two fresh scars on her arm, and they were evidently gunshot wounds.
“Mrs. Macari, I can’t even lift my arm now. Besides, Kathleen was the reason why Samuel got into an accident. She was the one who took everything from Macari Group.”
“Nonsense!” Wynnie didn’t believe a word she was saying.
After all, Kathleen and Samuel had already made up.
“Mrs. Macari, all of you have been fooled by Kathleen,” Ashley continued explaining. “In fact, Kathleen had always despised Samuel, because he tolerated Nicolette and caused Kathleen to lose her child. Hatred like this won’t disappear so easily. You should know this very well as a woman.”
Hearing this, Wynnie was dumbfounded.
Such hatred was indeed hard to let go.
However, she still didn’t believe that Kathleen would do such a thing.
After all, she had plenty of opportunities to kill Samuel before this. There was no reason for her to only make a move now.
Calvin turned to look at Samuel. “Samuel, what do you think of this?”
“Did I really cause her to lose her child?” Samuel furrowed his brows.
Calvin nodded. “Yes. But that happened seven years ago. She even gave birth to a pair of twins with you after that. She doesn’t hate you anymore.”
“Mr. Macari, Kathleen only gave birth to the twins because she was unconscious and didn’t even know that she was pregnant.” Ashley narrowed her eyes. “If she knew that she was pregnant, she would definitely abort the children. Even until now, although she lost her memory after regaining consciousness and forgot how much she despised Samuel, she would definitely hold grudges after losing her first child.”
“You know quite a lot.” Calvin glared at Ashley icily.
Ashley froze.
“Samuel, do you want to go back with us?” Calvin looked at Samuel. “Eilam and Desiree miss you dearly.”
Samuel pursed his lips.
“Samuel, your leg still needs to be treated. Lauren will be coming over tomorrow, and it’ll be more convenient for your leg to be treated here.”
“Samuel, Kate can treat you as well!” Wynnie chimed in.
“Mrs. Macari, how would Kathleen treat Samuel if she despises him to the core?” Ashley mocked. “Back when Samuel injured his right arm while saving Kathleen, she didn’t even treat him. Now, he can’t even move his right arm properly.”
