Chapter 455


    Chapter 455 Truly Amnesia “But what do I do?” Ashley didn’t understand. “That’s also very simple. Just


    tell her you’re pregnant.” Lauren smirked and looked at Ashley sardonically. “Given Kathleen’s prideful


    behavior, she won’t call Samuel to verify this. If it were true, why would she risk losing her pride? Even


    if she does decide to confront him, Samuel is going to feel very attacked. How will they not fight, then?”


    Ashley thought that what Lauren said made sense. “But Kathleen is a traditional medicine doctor after


    all. She will ask to take my pulse.” In this sense, Ashley did not feel at ease with the n. After briefly


    rummaging through her bag, Lauren fished out a bottle of medicine. “These pills can help replicate a


    dual pulse. Even if you go to the hospital for an examination, they won’t find out. However, this only


    believe me?” Lauren smiled coldly. “Think about your legs and face. Who do you have to thank for


    that?” “I believe in you!” Ashley was very happy. “Lauren, I’m so d to have you help me.” Lauren


    smiled casually. “You know what I want, right?” “I know,” Ashley said with a smile. “Don’t worry. When I


    marry Samuel, I will let him get rid of the Blissful Sect for you. By then, the whole country can be


    yours!” Lauren was very happy to hear this. “Lauren, I haven’t seen you have a man for so many


    years.” Ashley was extremely curious.


    “Surely you’re not—” “I’m straight. I also have male friends who take care of those needs,” said Lauren


    mildly. “I just think that men are inferior to power and money. Men cannot give me a sense of security,


    and I can never trust men.” With that said, Lauren downed half a ss of red wine. Ashley said quietly,


    “What if a man like Samuel pursued you?” Lauren let out a peal of sarcasticughter. “He is very good,


    but that doesn’t mean I have to like him.” Lauren had always had only one purpose. She wanted power.


    She wanted to get rid of all the organizations in the nation and emerge as the only victor. When she


    had the power she craved, why would the men not cave? Ashley pursed her lips, but said nothing.


    Back at the Johnson residence, Kathleen had just helped Desiree with her bath and put her to bed.


    Desiree took Kathleen’s hand. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. Even if Daddy doesn’t want you anymore, I still


    love you.” Kathleen’s gloomy mood was swept away immediately, and she smiled.


    “Don’t worry. I’m not sad, and it’s not that he doesn’t want me anymore. Rather, it’s the opposite.”


    “Mommy, do you really not want Daddy anymore?” asked a very upset Desiree. “But I want us all to be


    together!” Kathleen stroked Desiree’s face. “Desiree, some things cannot be forced.” Desiree seemed


    to hover between understanding and confusion. “Okay, time for bed.” Kathleen kissed Desiree’s


    forehead, tucked her in, then left. Kathleen went downstairs. She entered the living room, only to find


    Charles sitting there. Kathleen walked toward him. “You’re alone? Did rissa not tag along?” “She


    said she wasn’t feeling well, so she decided to rest at home. I also heard you had a run-in with Samuel


    today?” queried Charles. Kathleen was surprised. “How did the news reach your ears so quickly?”


    Charles sighed. “Why didn’t you say something? Everyone is watching you. You were even


    photographed by the paparazzi near the restaurant you were at today.” What? “Who did this?” Kathleen


    immediately dug out her phone. She could not care less if she showed up in the pictures. However, she


    did not want to expose the children to this.


    “They’re not that unscrupulous. The children’s faces were censored, but they also deleted these


    pictures,” replied Charles. Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief. “Do you think Samuel really has


    amnesia?” Charles asked curiously. Kathleen huffed in anger. “If his amnesia is fake, wouldn’t this


    situation be even more abhorrent?” Charles was stunned to silence, and he found that Kathleen was


    not just angry at Samuel. She was downright resentful now. Her indifference toward Samuel was likely


    a product of her rage. “You’re just going to let it slide?” Charles narrowed his eyes. “If Samuel is really


    engaged to Ashley, then I definitely don’t want him!” hissed Kathleen. “That being said, it matters not if


    hees to me. I’m not going to go out of my way to seek him out.” Charles sighed lightly. He knew it


    would be like this. At this time. Charles’s cell phone rang. He answered the phone, his expression


    solemn. “Alright, I’ve got it.” Charles then hung up. Very slowly, he stood. Kathleen looked at him.


    “What’s wrong?” “There has finally been news about Wyatt. I’m going to check it out,” said Charles icily.


    ”We’ve been looking for him for almost half a year, and he finally emerged.”


    “Do you need me to apany you?” Kathleen asked. “No.” Charles shook his head. “They just saw


    him, and they may not be able to find him. I’m leaving.” “Alright.” Kathleen got up and escorted him out.


    Charles got in the car and drove away. Kathleen then returned to the vi, and then went back to the


    room to rest. The next day, Kathleen went off to thepany for work as usual. She was very busy


    that morning. When it was almost noon, Kathleen received a call from an unknown number. She


    frowned. Who is this? This was her new mobile phone number, so not many people knew it. Both her


    old phone and the number were with Samuel. Honestly, why hasn’t he returned it to me yet? Does he


    want to use my phone perpetually now? Or perhaps, this is his new number? “Hello?” Kathleen


    answered the phone. “It’s me.” Ashley’s voice came from the other end of the line. Kathleen did not


    n on speaking. In fact, she’d made up her mind to hang up the moment she noticed who it was.


    “Kathleen, I know you don’t want to hear my voice, but I have something very important to tell you,”


    Ashley said quietly. “Are you willing to meet me?” “Is there anything you can’t say on the phone?”


    sneered Kathleen. “I’d rather not waste my time looking at your stic face.” stic? Ashley was


    shocked. Of course, she had not gotten any cosmetic surgery. Her face was as natural as it could get.


    Ashley calmed down before speaking. “Perhaps you’re scared after all. However, if you don’t meet me,


    you will regret it.” Sighing, Kathleen pinched the bridge of her nose.


    “Where?” “I’m in the coffee shop by yourpany now.” Ashley smiled faintly. “I’ll wait for you.” After


    speaking, she hung up the phone. Kathleen stood up and walked out of her office. She exited the


    building, then proceeded toward the cafe mentioned by Ashley. It was lunchtime. The cafe was


    crowded. She noticed that some of the employees in herpany were dining there too. Kathleen’s


    expression was cold. So, this is how she wants to y it? She saw Ashley sitting in the booth by the


    window. She walked over, taking her time. Ashley narrowed her eyes. In front of her was a ss of hot


    milk. “You came rather quickly.” Kathleen sat down. “If you have something to say, say it.” “Look at

    this.” Ashley ced some test results in front of her.
