Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 289

Chapter 289 A Better Future Frances’ gaze darkened. “Don’t worry. That’s what I came here for.”

“Granny, what do you mean by that?” Kathleen was a little taken aback.

Frances gestured for her to stay calm for the moment.

“Zachary, I want you to make a promise to me.” Frances cast him a stern look.

“Go ahead, Mom. I’ll do anything you ask me to,” Zachary said softly.

Frances replied coldly, “I only need you to make a vow that you will never go against Kate in the

future.”

Zachary was taken aback by her request. “Mom, although Kate’s mom isn’t my real sibling, we’re still

cousins. That makes Kate my niece. Why would I go against her?”

“Just promise me!” Frances demanded sternly.

“Okay.” Zachary nodded sheepishly.

“Furthermore, I want to give my shares of Yoeger Group to Kate. You guys aren’t allowed to vie for it.

Besides swearing in front of me, I want you to post a statement on Twitter,” Frances ordered seriously.

What on earth is she talking about?

Zachary was stunned by her request.

“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to do so?” she questioned coldly.

After a moment of pause, Zachary answered gingerly, “I-I will do it.”

“Very well, then. If you do as I say, I’ll step up and help you to stabilize the situation tomorrow,” Frances

promised.

He pursed his lips and replied, “All right.”

“Go ahead and make your vow,” Frances ordered impassively.

Stretching out his hand slowly, Zachary uttered, “I swear that I will never go against Kathleen.”

“What if you break your vow?” Frances probed nonchalantly.

Zachary gritted his teeth and declared, “Then, I’ll be struck dead by lightning and rot in hell!”

Are you satisfied now?

Yareli looked at Zachary in amazement. What a vicious oath!

“Yareli, what about you?” Frances asked coldly.

Yareli was surprised by the mention of her name. “Me? Granny, do I have to swear in front of you too?”

she asked sheepishly.

“Of course.” Frances did not want to state the obvious.

Even though Yareli had not done anything to Kathleen, Frances did not think that she was innocent

either.

“I…” Unlike Zachary, Yareli was reluctant to make a vow.

Frances gave her a frosty look.

Pursing her lips, Yareli muttered pitifully, “Granny, I promise to get along with Kate in the future. After

all, we’re cousins and related by blood.”

Nevertheless, Frances remained silent.

Looking at Kathleen, Yareli asked, “What do you think, Kate?”

Kathleen felt disgusted upon hearing how Yareli called out to her intimately. “You don’t need to do that.

Let’s steer clear of each other in the future. You guys should do as Granny says. Besides, you are the

ones who need her help, not me.”

Yareli stiffened. Feeling displeased, she pretended to yield. “All right. I swear that if I do Kathleen

wrong, my mom will die a painful death. Is this good enough for you?”

Kathleen gave her a long, meaningful look.

“You’re truly your mom’s precious eldest child. How filial of you to swear on her life,” Kathleen remarked

sarcastically.

Yareli gritted her teeth upon hearing Kathleen’s jibe. She cursed the latter several times silently.

Gosh, I want to eat her alive.

“You guys better remember the vows you made today. Only time will tell if this will come back to bite

you,” Frances reminded seriously.

Zachary and Yareli were flustered by her words.

“Come with me, Kate,” Frances urged.

“Okay.” Kathleen followed her out of the ward.

As Samuel prepared to leave, Yareli called out. “Samuel.”

However, he pretended not to hear anything.

“Wait, Samuel. I have something to tell you.” Yareli tugged on his arm.

Samuel shook her off. “So, you get handsy with me since you can’t talk properly, right?”

Yareli was snubbed by him.

Biting her lip, Yareli pleaded, “Samuel, why are you treating me like this? I only want to ask you to help

me save my mom.”

“She deserves to die,” Samuel uttered emotionlessly.

“Samuel, can you help me for the sake of our relationship in the past?” Yareli sobbed.

His expression darkened at once. “There’s nothing between us. Stop making a fool of yourself.”

With that, he spun around and left.

A sinister look instantly flashed across Yareli’s eyes. “D*mn it!” she cursed.

Zachary laughed mockingly at her. “I think you aren’t as good as Nicolette when it comes to dealing

with Samuel.”

“Nicolette is nothing but a liar! I’m not like her. I don’t believe that Samuel will love Kathleen for the rest

of his life,” Yareli fumed.

“Even if his affection for Kathleen didn’t last forever, can you guarantee that he will fall for you instead?”

Zachary replied calmly.

Yareli glared at him. “What do you mean by that?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just want to give you some advice. Don’t be so stubborn. We have some important things to plan

now. I’ll never let you off the hook if you messed this up for us,” Zachary warned.

Yareli chuckled in exasperation. “As if I will let you off either! You’d better make sure this plan is

successful.”

Zachary snorted. “You’d better tell your mom to be careful. Kathleen won’t let her off that easily.”

“You don’t have to worry about my mom.” Yareli narrowed her eyes and continued, “We’ll just have to

wait for Nicolette’s next move.”

Kathleen helped Frances as they walked downstairs.

Feeling surprised, she asked, “Granny, why are you here? The Yoeger family wouldn’t be in a crisis

even if you didn’t come.”

“I know. At worst, the stocks will fall. The company’s market value will drop by half. By then, the Yoeger

family will no longer be among the elites,” Frances said coldly.

Kathleen was dumbfounded.

“I’m not trying to help them. That guy owes me. Therefore, I have to make him pay back,” Frances

added.

Her remark left Kathleen dumbstruck.

“Don’t worry. I know what you’re thinking about. Although I’m not in my right mind occasionally, I have

thought about whether your mom was taken away by that guy,” Frances explained.

Kathleen froze for a moment. “Granny?”

“If it was him, I have the right to take back everything that belongs to the Yoeger family. Even if he

wasn’t the culprit, I still have the right to do this due to his children’s actions.”

Frances could not care less about other people’s opinions.

“Kate, you should follow me and live in the Yoeger residence. No matter what, the family is my heart

and soul. I’ll never let the family fall on my watch. I will hand over the Yoeger family to you when the

time is right,” Frances said in a deep voice.

However, Kathleen was stunned by her words. “Granny, I don’t think that’s a great idea.”

Frances said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. You don’t need to pay attention to those people. I’m getting old.

Besides, my health is deteriorating. There isn’t much I can do for you. I want you to live a carefree life

in the future.”
