All Too Late novel Chapter 221

Kathleen had followed Samuel back to the Macari residence.

Diana had been urging her to come over when she had the time to do so.

However, Kathleen had not been able to visit for a while as she had been too busy recently.

She could not help but wonder if Diana would blame her.

Samuel and Kathleen entered the residence and headed straight for the living room.

Diana was already standing when they reached the living room. “It’s been so long since I last saw you, Katie.”

Kathleen felt slightly embarrassed as she said, “I’m sorry, Old Mrs. Macari, I’ve been too busy lately.”

“I don’t blame you. Samuel had told me all about it,” Diana reassured as she tugged on Kathleen’s hand for the latter to sit with her. “It’s all this b*stard’s fault.”

Kathleen flushed after hearing the older woman’s words.

Meanwhile, Samuel had taken off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper. Turning to Kathleen, he said, “Take off your coat.”

“Okay,” Kathleen said, taking off her coat as well.

With Kathleen’s coat in his hand, Samuel repeated the same actions and handed it to the housekeeper.

Diana, on the other hand, was silently looking at the scene before her, a contented smile on her lips.

“Aren’t Mr. and Mrs. Macari around?” Kathleen asked.

“Well, it’s the end of the year now. There are many gatherings that they have to attend,” Diana explained. “Especially since Samuel is rather poor in health. Those social gatherings that require him to drink alcohol would eventually have to be attended by Calvin instead.”

Kathleen nodded.

I see.

“Let’s have dinner first. We’ll talk while we have our meal,” Diana suggested. She knew that Kathleen should be starving by then as Kathleen often looked like she was seconds away from fainting when she was hungry.

Samuel, too, was about to remind them to have their meal.

However, Diana had already noticed and was a step ahead of him.

After that, the three of them headed to the dining area.

Set on the table were all of Kathleen’s favorite dishes.

Instantly, Diana motioned for Kathleen to sit next to her.

Samuel had planned to take a seat next to Kathleen. However, he was stopped by Diana before he could even take action. With a flat tone, she ordered, “You’re sitting next to me.”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

He was sure that Diana was doing it on purpose and was getting back at him for letting her take the blame.

Nevertheless, Samuel could only abide by her words.

Diana, in the meantime, had placed some roasted chicken on Kathleen’s plate. “I’m already aware of the Yoeger family situation. Yasmine had even called me because of it. I honestly did not anticipate such mayhem within the Yoegers. Most importantly, I was surprised that Frances didn’t notice anything. If she had, she wouldn’t have been poisoned in the first place.”

With a tinge of hesitance in her voice, Kathleen asked, “Old Mrs. Macari, how does Old Mrs. Yoeger treat Zachary and Vanessa?”

“Well, there isn’t much to say,” Diana began. “I’m sure you’re well aware of the complicated relationships in the Yoeger family. Despite Frances’ disdain for Hector, she still takes great care of the two children. They are, after all, the children of her sister. That’s why she adores them and treats them as if they were her own.”

“What about Zachary and Vanessa?” Kathleen asked again.

“I don’t really know them that well. But I’ve heard Frances talk about them a lot. They seem to be nice and rather filial,” Diana stated before heaving a sigh. “For that reason, Frances had all of her guards down.”

Kathleen nodded.

“Grandma, do you know the relationship between Old Mrs. Yoeger and Old Mr. Yoeger?” Samuel asked.

Diana merely glanced at him after hearing his question.

Kathleen pursed her lips.

“I’ve researched the welfare center’s accounts. Around forty-eight years ago, White Clouds received a ten million donation. That happened to be the second day your mother was sent there,” Samuel explained.

Kathleen’s expression fell after she heard his words.

“I could help you do more research on this anonymous account to verify whether it belonged to Old Mr. Yoeger if you still don’t believe in what I had just said,” Samuel offered.

Kathleen placed her fork down and drank some water before saying, “If this is the case, won’t the entire Yoeger family be utterly sorry toward Old Mrs. Yoeger?”

Diana sighed. “You’re right. It would be awful if Hector were behind it.”

“Grandma, do you know whether Old Mrs. Yoeger had committed any relationships before marrying Old Mr. Yoeger?” Samuel asked.

Diana furrowed her brows as she tried to recall. She soon shook her head. “I’m not really sure. She had never mentioned anything to me regarding relationships, and it was also awkward for me to ask her about it.”

“I guess we can only wait for Old Mrs. Yoeger to wake up and ask her for some clarifications,” Samuel said impassively.

Once again, Kathleen pursed her lips.

She was feeling extremely anguished.

She could not help but wonder how Frances would react if Hector were indeed the perpetrator of the incident.

Frances had dedicated her life to the Yoegers. Yet, she was plotted against and even had to part ways with her child.

Kathleen was concerned that Frances would not be able to handle the shocking information.

Meanwhile, Diana was shooting the nastiest glare she could muster at Samuel.

She was inwardly cursing at her grandson for bringing up the topic and causing her beloved Kathleen to lose her appetite.
