Chapter 467 Exposed

Samuel straightened his back.

He knew what Kathleen was talking about.

Kathleen continued, “These people have received professional training. They attacked the businessman, abducted him, and cleared the scene, leaving no evidence behind. However, they caused quite a fuss, and some people found out about it. So, they bribed the witnesses, forcing them to not say a word about it.”

The uneasiness in Ashley’s heart grew.

Kathleen’s red lips curled into a smile. “Thus, the businessman’s wife brought a few people with her and searched for three whole months. Yet, they couldn’t locate the businessman. That was when the wife used her own connections and finally found the clues. In the end, she returned to her country. Coincidentally, the businessman returned after a few days.”

The crowd said nothing. They held their breaths and stared at her.

“Alas, as soon as the businessman got off the plane, he announced he was engaged to another woman, all because that woman was his savior. It seemed as if it never crossed his mind that he had a wife, a lover. How do you think the wife of the businessman felt?” Kathleen shot Samuel an icy glare.

Biting her lip, Ashley shouted, “Kathleen! How dare you keep calling yourself the wife? You and Samuel had already divorced long ago! Even if you two are engaged, you’re still not his wife!”

Kathleen smirked. “So, you’re admitting you’re the savior of the businessman, aren’t you?”

Ashley questioned furiously, “What are you trying to do by hurling accusations here? Besides, you almost ended up marrying Caleb!”

“Caleb?” Kathleen could not help but laugh. “That’s like news from six years ago. I’m sure everyone here knows how dramatic the wedding was.”

With that reminder, everyone recalled the incident.

“That wedding was really tragic. I’ll remember it even if it happened ten years ago.”

“Exactly. The thought of it still gives me goosebumps. I can’t believe Samuel stabbed himself just to make Kathleen stay. He must love her so much that he’s lost his mind.”

“I say, what do you think will happen when he recovers his memory and realizes he married someone he doesn’t love? Will he go mad?”

“I don’t know if he’ll go mad, but I think he’ll start a slaughter.”

“Do you guys even hear yourself? No matter what happens, Ashley’s the daughter of the Zeller family. Besides, she’s also Samuel’s savior. Samuel will never harm her. You guys are overthinking it.”

“We’re not. You’re the one who doesn’t understand Samuel well enough. If he really wanted to marry another woman, why would he pester Kathleen so much?”

“Well, Kathleen didn’t marry him in the end, did she? Even after all those years?”

“Sure, she didn’t marry him, but he’s already proposed before he got into an accident. Besides, they have two kids together. It’s only a matter of time before they get married.”

“Maybe Samuel regretted his actions after proposing.”

“How do you know he’s regretting it? Oh, you’re the Zeller family’s relative. No wonder you keep speaking up for Ashley.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Displeased, are you? Let’s fight it out, then!”

The crowd started to get into a fight.

“Shut up, all of you!” Luna raged. “Kathleen, no matter what you say, Samuel was the one who approved of this engagement ceremony. We didn’t force him into it. You can ask him yourself if you don’t believe us.”

Everyone’s gazes fell on Samuel.

However, Kathleen said aloofly, “Hah. I’ve already told you this. I’m not here for him.”

Samuel swallowed hard but kept his silence. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Kathleen said coldly, “Ashley, Marjory was hired by you three months ago. You and Marjory took the same flight to Smealand and stayed in the same hotel. Besides, you left with Marjory and the others on the day of Samuel’s accident. Are you still going to say you have nothing to do with it?”

Ashley panicked. “Kathleen, do you think everything you say is right?”

“Do you think I’m saying all this without evidence?” retorted Kathleen as she scoffed.

Ashley clenched her fist upon hearing that.

Right then, Marjory came to her mind.

Marjory’s missing! Could she be abducted by Kathleen and spilled everything? Marjory, you traitor!

With a calm demeanor, Kathleen called out, “Yadiel.”

He stepped forward and placed a stack of pictures on the table. “Ms. Zeller, you didn’t know there were surveillance cameras at the hotel’s entrance, didn’t you?”

Ashley froze.

“In fact, the hotel is not the only place with surveillance cameras. A family who lived near the road where Mr. Macari’s accident happened installed one at their house. However, their camera was in a rather discreet location. Hence, no one knew until one of us found it a few days ago. These are the evidence of you being around Marjory and the others,” Yadiel said icily.

Ashley panicked at the sight of the pictures. Clearly, Marjory did not betray her.

However, those pictures were like a death sentence for her.

“Since you knew about Samuel’s identity, why didn’t you send him to the hospital after the accident? Why did you send him somewhere far away and not inform us about it? What are your motives?”

“That’s because someone’s trying to harm Samuel! I was worried for him!” explained Ashley.

“Stop making excuses! You’re the person who wants to harm him! You’re clearly a pot calling the kettle black!” Kathleen’s gaze sharpened.

“No!” Ashley was trembling, and her mind was a mess.

Kathleen had disrupted her plan.

Knowing Ashley was beyond saving, Luna stood up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Kathleen uttered coldly, “Luna, I heard Ashley got kidnapped about twenty years ago. By the time she was sent to the hospital, she had lost a lot of blood, and her body was cold. I wonder how did the hospital staff save her?”

Luna’s eyes glinted with a sharp gaze. “That’s none of your business. Do you think you’re the only doctor in this world?”

Kathleen smiled calmly. “Then, this doctor must be a miracle doctor. If he’s so skilled, how did he fail to save your grandson?”

Luna shot her an icy glare and marched off.

“Aunt Luna, wait!” Ashley grabbed Luna’s hand.

She can’t leave! Who’s going to back me up if she’s gone?

“This is your problem. You’re the one who started it. It has nothing to do with me.” Luna pushed her hand away and walked off.

Ashley froze, shocked by the fact that Luna was actually abandoning her.

She then turned to look at Trevor, who, surprisingly, left as well.

Aren’t they worried I’ll expose the truth to Samuel? Well, they’re right. I wouldn’t dare to. I’d be dead meat if I told Samuel the truth. Screw this. I must leave now.

Ashley turned around to leave.

“Ashley, your fiancé is still here,” Kathleen said indifferently.

Ashley stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. “What do you mean?”

“I told you. I’m not here to crash the engagement ceremony.” Kathleen smiled casually.

“Kathleen!” Samuel clenched his teeth with his eyes fixed on her.
