All Too Late

down on her lip, not wanting to answer that question Meanwhile, Kathleen’s indifferent gaze focused on

Tracy as she spoke up. “What an idiot How can you defend a selfish man who doesn’t even show you

respect or treat you like a human?” A bewildered look crept upon Tracy’s face upon hearing that

“Besides, Vivian was once his most beloved woman. However, he did all those horrible things after using

her as a ticket to improve his societal standing. Contrarily, he doesn’t even love you. Do you think he’ll

remain kind to you once you’re no longer useful to him?” Kathleen added, her tone laced with bitter

distaste. Her words made Tracy bite her lip. “You’ll eventually end up like Vivian,”remarked Kathleen with

murderous intent flashing in her narrowed eyes. Despite all those words, Tracy refuted with a downcast

gaze. “I don’t care! I love him, and he’s my husband, so it’s only right that I defend him!” “How idiotic,

Kathleen spat before scoffing”Aren’t you an idiot too?” It was now Tracy’s turn to speak sarcastically as

she questioned, “Remember how you loved Samuel all those years ago like a fool? Even when his heart

was clearly devoted to Nicolette? Kathleen’s delicate face paled. “You’re right. I was an idiot back then,

so I’m advising you now to open your eyes.” Despite that. Tracy ignored her and went to kneel before

Vivian’s photo. “Vivian, you can hold me accountable for everything that’s happened. If you want to get

revenge, come at me. I’m okay with that! Finn shot a surprised look at Tracy. Meanwhile, Kathleen felt

Tracy was too far gone in her obsession to be saved now. “As expected.” Kathleen looked over at Finn

and resumed. The world wouldn’t have men that are scumbags if women didn’t fall in love so deeply.

You’re not worthy of these two’s affection.” Finn remained silent. “Kick them out of here.” Kathleen

ordered icily. Her curt instruction made Charles frown in dissatisfaction. Seeing that she added coldly,

“Charles, you can always destroy everything he dreams of if you hate him. There’s no need to beat him

up. After all, why risk getting hurt yourself?” Those words seemed sensible to Charles, who soon agreed.

“Get out of my sight.” All trace of warmth had evaporated from Kathleen’s delicate face at that point.

“Don’t taint Vivian’s memorial service with your vile presence.” Tracy sniffled before walking toward Finn

to help him off the ground In response, the latter merely glanced at her before compliantly leaving with

her. The two soon got into a car when Finn asked in his scratchy tone “Do you really love me that much?

Tracy paused for a moment before finally admitting. “Yeah.” Finn’s grim gaze settled on her. “Even if I’m

such a scumbag? “The truth is, Finn. I can’t find it in me to fall for anyone else even if we were to split up.

It’s likely that I might never find love again. Tracy bit her lip. This must be how Kathleen feels, huh? The

only difference is that I’m not as carefree as her. She may have the courage to leave her toxic

relationship, but I don’t Finn pulled Tracy into his arms, not uttering a single word. In response, Tracy

stiffened as her tears fell. She hurriedly returned his hug and swore “We’ll pay for Vivian’s death

together.” Finn nodded. In the meantime, Kathleen brought some iodine swabs over to Charles. She then

nagged, “Why did you force him here like a prisoner? Aren’t you worried that Vivian won’t be able to rest

in peace?” “L.. Charles faltered. “I genuinely have no idea what to say to you. What’s the use of causing

such a big scene anyway?” Kathleen told him off like he were her younger brother while she applied the

medication to his wounds. “Okay, that should do it.” After she was done she put away the swabs and

locked eyes with Charles. “I just think she didn’t deserve to die…” he muttered while gazing at Vivian’s

photo To him, she looked absolutely gorgeous in her funeral portrait Kathleen sighed. “Perhaps death is

a form of release for Vivian. That incident has tortured her for all these years after all I doubt any of us

can truly understand her pain.” With his reddened eyes. Charles fell silent It was then that Kathleen

glanced sideways, her gaze meeting Samuel’s dark eyes. She had forgotten all about him. “Charles, I’m

going over there for a bit. With that. Kathleen approached Samuel The man flashed her a deep look. I

need to tell you something Before he could finish, however, Kathleen cut him off. “I want to see Isaac.”

“There’s no need for that anymore.”

Kathleen froze momentarily before responding. “Okay. I won’t trouble you then. I’ll go look for him

myself.” Irritation sparked in Samuel upon hearing that I’m not refusing to introduce you two. It’s just that

I’ve already paid him a visit.” Kathleen blinked a few times. I didn’t mean to come off like I was upset at

you.” She was merely reiterating her words from last night-That she didn’t need to trouble him from now

on. Likewise, she uttered those words because she found it odd that he remained at the memorial

despite not being close with the Lewis family. Hence, she assumed he was waiting there for her. “I’ve met

and asked him the question on your behalf.” Samuel’s gaze darted around before he added, “There’s a

lot of people here. Is there a more quiet place where we can discuss this?” “Let’s go to your car then.”

“Okay,” Samuel nodded. They then made their way out the door. It just so happened that Caleb was

coming downstairs, so he caught sight of the two Something sinister flashed in his eyes right then.

Kathleen got into Samuel’s car and instantly asked, “So, what did Isaac say?” “He didn’t admit to helping

Old Mr. Yoeger steal or temporarily look after a child.” To that Kathleen pursed her lips. commenting. “It

doesn’t matter if he’s involved because we have no evidence to prove it. This is going to be tricky “I

believe him.” Samuel then confidently explained. “He said it himself that he would never agree to help

Old Mr. Yoeger do such a cruel thing. Plus, he even reminded me about something.” “What is it?’

Kathleen’s curiosity was piqued. Samuel’s expression darkened as he stemnly said. “It’s possible that

Old Mr. Yoeger entrusted the matter to a woman.”
