Chapter 358


    Who Provoked You Emily kept quiet as she thought about it. “I noticed that Christopher wasn’t


    poisoned overnight when I was herest time. It’s just that I couldn’t tell you back then because Finn


    and Tracy were present. Since you said they already left a few days ago, then they’re not the ones


    behind this because this needle mark is only one to two days old,” Kathleen exined. Emily was very


    confused. “Then, who did it?” She couldn’t think of anyone else. After a pause, Kathleen continued,


    “Mrs. Morris, have you forgotten about someone who cares a lot about Christopher?” Only then did


    realization dawn on Emily. “Astrid!” “Was she here for the past two days?” Kathleen queried. “Yeah, she


    housekeepers did.


    This is all I can think of.” Emily’s eyes were burning with hatred as she spoke. “All the housekeepers


    are senior citizens, and I know their background clearly. There’s no way they’d be bribed. It’s definitely


    Astrid! We received news some time ago that the Holloway family is most likely the ones who hurt


    Christopher back then!” Kathleen wasn’t surprised by that. She felt something was off with Astrid when


    she met thetterst time. “However, if there isn’t concrete evidence, there’s no way we can get her to


    admit it.” Furrowing her brows, Kathleen thought about it. “Ah! I have an idea.” Emily’s eyes lit up.


    “What?” Kathleen walked over to Emily’s side and whispered something to thetter. After hearing what


    Kathleen said, Emily nodded. “Okay! We’ll do as you say!” Kathleen then looked at the time. “It’s


    gettingte, Mrs. Morris. I have to go now.” Emily tried to get Kathleen to stay. “Kate, you can stay here


    tonight since it’ste.”


    “It’s fine. My kids are home, so I want to go home,” Kathleen exined. Emily nodded. “Okay. Drive


    safely.” “Mm.” With that, Kathleen turned to leave, going downstairs by herself. Coincidentally, right


    then, Aaron entered the mansion. Ever since something had happened to Christopher, Aaron was the


    only one who took care of thepany’s matters. He always went homete when he was busy. The


    moment he saw Kathleen, he was slightly taken aback. “Kathleen?” Kathleen responded indifferently,


    “Mr. Morris.” Aaron heard about Kathleen from Emily, and he knew that Emily heard it from Wynnie.


    However, he didn’t expect to meet Kathleen so soon. “Goodbye,” Kathleen said and continued walking


    toward the door. Aaron was still stumped, as he initially nned to see her off. After that, he went up


    the stairs and entered Christopher’s room. At the moment, Emily was wiping Christopher’s face.


    “Darling, why did Kathleene?” he queried, puzzled. Emily wore a cold look. “Can’t shee?” He


    was startled by her reaction. “Are you okay?”


    Turning to him, she answered, “Let’s move out. If you feel bad about leaving your father behind, I’ll


    move out with Christopher. I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Aaron approached her. “Darling, who


    made you angry?” Suddenly, Emily burst out crying. She pulled Aaron over and showed him the needle


    mark on Christopher’s toe web space. “Look at this!” Aaron frowned. “What’s that?” Emily sobbed.


    “This is why Christopher can’t wake up! This needle mark is fresh, which means that someone has


    been poisoning him continuously.” “What?” Aaron was startled. “Besides, there’s no way that our


    housekeepers are the ones who did it, so I’m sure it’s Astrid who has been poisoning him! I tried to stop


    her froming countless times, but she’d use your father’s words against me and continue showing

    up here every day. If no one knows about her motives, they would think she loves Christopher, but the


    truth is she doesn’t want him to wake up. I’m sure that he knows something. That’s why she’s afraid


    that he’ll wake up,” she said aggrievedly. Aaron patted her shoulder gently. “If that’s really the case, I


    won’t let the Holloway family off. However, we need evidence in order to sentence her for that.” “I don’t


    care. I’m moving out either way! I’ve had enough of this! I won’t let anyone interfere with Christopher’s


    life! No one can decide who he should love or marry, including you!” Emily yelled and pushed Aaron’s


    hand away. After that, she turned around and left. Aaron sighed quietly. He understood how she felt.


    Everything was fine with Christopher before the Holloway family came along.


    How could he not be infuriated? Besides, he didn’t do everything he could, since he always turned a


    blind eye to whatever Felix did. Back then, Christopher loved Kathleen. If it wasn’t for Felix, there was a


    high possibility that Christopher and Kathleen would’ve gotten married by now. Had that been the case,


    none of that would’ve happened. Emily’s right. Christopher has the freedom to marry whoever he


    wants. We have no right to interfere. The next day, at the dining table in the Morris residence, Aaron


    needed to announce something. Clearing his throat, he started, “Dad, we’ve decided to move out.”


    Felix’s face sank instantly. “What did you say?” Aaron exined, “I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m


    just letting you know, officially. Since you like Astrid so much, and there’s no way Christopher’s


    marrying her, why don’t you marry her instead? We don’t care who you leave your inheritance for,


    anyway.” Bang! Felix mmed the table. “How dare you! Do you know what you’re saying?” Startled,


    Emily looked wide-eyed at Aaron. What’s wrong with him today? Could it be that he actually listened to


    what I saidst night? She lowered her head in silence. Felix flicked his eyes between Aaron and


    Emily. Felix said quietly, “Astrid, she—” Aaron snapped coldly, “Dad, Christopher will never marry her.


    Even if he wakes up, it’s impossible as well. Besides, you heard about the news, right? I have nothing


    else to say if you still think that the Holloways are innocent. However, don’t you dare try anything with


    Christopher, or I’ll sever ties with you!” “You!” Felix was infuriated. Aaron stood up and looked at Emily.


    “I’m going to thepany now. You can start packing first. Once I get off work in the afternoon, I’ll


    make arrangements to pick you two up.” Emily nodded. “Okay.” With that, Aaron turned and left the


    scene. Felix stared at her unhappily. “What did you say to him?” Emily stood up. “I didn’t say anything.”


    Right when she was ascending the stairs, Felix asked in a cold tone, “Emily, you’d better think this over


    carefully. If we chase Astrid away, who will care for Christopher when we get older?” “You don’t have to


    worry about that,” she replied indifferently.


    “Samuel is my nephew. He’ll make sure Christopher is taken care of.” After that, she walked upstairs.


    Felix gritted his teeth as he yelled at Emily’s retreating figure, “You’d better think it over properly!


    Christopher and Samuel almost had a fall out because of Kathleenst time! Are you sure Samuel will


    care about Christopher?” Emily stood on the second floor. “Samuel’s not a heartless person! I’m his


    aunt! There’s no way he’ll only stand by and do nothing!” With that, she turned and left as soon as she


    could, not wanting to talk to Felix any longer. He’s already senile! If he’s clear-headed, how could he let


    Finn return to that family? Because of that, Aaron had to deal with another enemy like Caleb in the


    mall.
