Chapter 382


    Chapter 382 Give Them Your Blessings “Charles, can you not be so busybody?” Kathleen shot him a


    disdainful look. “Am I?” Puzzlementwas written all over Charles'' face. “Yes.” Kathleen knitted her


    brows.


    “Don’t do this again.


    Otherwise, I’ll never forgive you.”


    Her brother just smile.


    “It’s not me who set you up this time.


    Ryder told me he wanted to meet you and promised he would help me to convince his sister to take


    therole.


    I had no other choice.” She puffed out her cheeks, refusing to say anything in reply. “Once I leave


    BlissfulSect, Brilliance Corporation will be my onlypany.


    You don''t want your brother to go bankrupt, do you?” Charles asked pitifully. “I’ll take care of you,”


    shedered in a solemn manner.


    “I''m pretty loaded.” “How could I let you take care of me? I’m a man!” He stroked her hair dotingly. Only


    then did Kathleenfinally crack a sweet smile. “Can we go now?” she asked. “Yeah.


    Let''s go.” Charles nodded. When they were about to leave, Kathleen saw Tyson among the crowd.


    Tyson also saw herand gave her a timid smile. Immediately, she felt goosebumps all over her. “What''s


    wrong?” Charles noticed something was amiss with her. “N-Nothing.” She felt guilty all of a sudden.


    Just then, Tyson came over. Upon seeing him, Charles seemed to have realized something, and his


    gaze darkened. “Ms.


    Johnson, what a coincidence.” An awkward grin spread across Tyson''s face. Kathleen asked tly, “Is


    something the matter?” “No.


    I just came over to greet you.” Kathleen had an uncanny feeling that it was not that simple.


    “When did you arrive?” “I''ve been here for a while now.” Tyson did not dare to lie to her.


    “Mr.


    Macari...” He trailed off. “Is Samuel here too?” she questioned coldly. Tyson nodded in response. No


    wonder I felt a chill running down my spinejust now.


    So Samuel has been watching me.


    But we''ve talked through the things between us, so why should I be bothered by his opinions of me?


    “Mr.


    Hackney, enjoy your time dancing here.


    We''ll leave first.” Kathleen was ready to get out of here. Tyson wanted to say something, but he held


    histongue. With that, Kathleen pulled Charles with her as she walked out of the ce. Charles smiled


    meaningfully at Tyson and did not say a word. Meanwhile, Tyson hurriedly dashed away in search of


    Samuel. Thetter was on the second floor. He saw the entire scene when Ryder and Kathleen were


    dancing together, but he did not show himself. He merely stood behind a stoa on the second floor and


    watched their every move. Tyson approached him and greeted, “Mr.


    Macari.”


    Samuel wore an indifferent expression on his face.


    “Did you ask her what was going on?”


    “Ms.


    Johnson seemed to be quite hostile when she saw me.


    I didn''t dare to ask her.” Samuel deadpanned, “Do I seem very friendly to you?” Tyson froze for a split


    secondbefore shaking his head frantically.


    “No.


    Not at all.” Samuel frowned, causing Tyson to break out in cold sweat. Samuel’s brow was deeply


    furrowed.


    Ryder and Kathleen were chatting happily just now.


    I have no right to stop their interaction.


    Compared to Caleb, Ryder is much more dependable.


    Ryder''s personality is simr to Christopher''s, but the former is more assertive.


    If it wasn''t for Felix''s interference then, Christopher and Kathleen would have been together.


    Unfortunately, there was no way Christopher could fight Felix.


    But it''s different for Ryder as he''s the head of the Xenakis family. Samuel was deeply troubled. “Mr.


    Macari, Mr.


    Johnson smiled at me just now,” Tyson hurriedly exined himself. Samuel snapped back to his


    senses.


    “Do you think he should cry to you?” “What I''m trying to say is he seemed to be smiling wickedly.


    It was as if he was hinting at something.” Samuel snorted frostily.


    “I knew he’s not a good guy.”


    “Mr.


    Macari, if Mr.


    Johnson is not a good person, he wouldn''t have given Mr.


    Eil and Ms.


    Desi to you.” Tyson voiced his analysis.


    “He could''ve given them to Caleb because it''s much safer to say that they’re Caleb’s children.” Samuel


    fixed his ice-cold gaze on Tyson, causing thetter to shudder in fear. Gosh, Ishouldn''t have said that


    just now. After a while, Samuel stated coldly, “If it wasn''t for that matter, I would''ve beaten him a long


    time ago.” Tyson chose to keep quiet. “Ask around again and find out what Ryder and Kathleen were


    talking about,” Samuel ordered. “Mr.


    Macari, there were only two of them just now, so nobody would overhear their conversation,” Tyson


    replied hesitantly.


    “I think you can directly ask Ms.


    Johnson.


    After all, both of you are friends now.


    Best friends will tell everything to one other.” Samuel''s expression turned even colder. Do we look like


    besties who will tell everything to each other? Kathleen doesn’teven want to get close to me. Noticing


    Samuel''sck of response, Tyson conceded fearfully, “Mr.


    Macari, I''ll ask around.” “There''s no need for that.” Samuel turned around and left. Kathleen and


    Charles parted ways when they reached the entrance of the venue. She had herclothes in her hand.


    “Charles, you should go ahead with your work.


    There’s no need to worry about me.”


    Charles frowned.


    “Where are you going?” “I need to choose a ce to set up mypany.” Kathleen gave him a faint


    smile.


    “I will check out some ces in the afternoon, so you should attend to your matters.” “Will you be fine

    on your own?” Charles was still worried about her. “Yes.” She nodded.


    “Bye.” She then turned away and left. Staring at her slim retreating figure, Charles was lost in his


    thoughts. After a while, he spoke in a low voice to his driver.


    “Let''s go.” Right at that moment, the car door was opened from the outside, and Samuel got into the


    car. Immediately, it felt as though the temperature insidethe car dropped a few degrees. Scowling,


    Charles said to the driver, “You may leave the car for now.” “Yes.” The driver got out of the car, leaving


    only Charles and Samuel in the car. “What are you doing?” Charles looked at him with a half-smile.


    Samuel shot daggers at him.


    “That’s what I’m supposed to ask you.


    Why did you let Ryder get in touch with Kate.” “As her brother, can’t I consider or make decisions for


    my sister’s love life?” Charles’ smiledid not reach his eyes.


    “Frankly, I think a gentleman like Christopher or Ryder is more suitable for my sister who is soft-


    hearted.” Samuelfroze. “My sister loved you so much back then.


    For three years, she endured so much without aint or regret during her marriage with you,”


    Charles continued, “butif it were Ryder or Christopher, they would be warmed by her even if they had a


    heart of stone.


    They would not be the way you''re today.” Samuel''s expression darkened. “If Kate and Ryder can’t


    be together this time, I won’t stopher from being with you if she chooses you in the future,” Charles


    added impassively.


    “However, if she has a great start with Ryder, I hope you can ept them and give them yourblessings.


    Can you do that?” Samuel could not help but cough as he felt blood welling up in his throat. He


    swallowed the blood, not wanting to let Charles notice his condition. “You sawhow they had a great


    chat during their first meeting just now,” Charles continued in a somber tone of voice. “Is this the reason


    why you asked me toe?” Samuel asked coldly. Charles gave him a side-nce.


    “Yes, I realize Kate is very scared of you.” Samuel remained silent. He had noticed that as well. “Ijust


    want to let you figure it out yourself whether that is out of love or fear.” Charles retracted his gaze.
