Chapter 446 He Is Back

“What did you say?” Ronald’s expression darkened.

“Haha.” Trevor scoffed. “If you think about it, there’s already no turning back for you. If you’re not making my life easy, do you think that the Macari family would let you off instead?”

Ronald was stunned.

“Just hand over the remaining documents. I won’t let you down.” With that, Trevor hung up.

Ronald knew that Trevor just wanted the remaining documents that he had.

It was the design and blueprint of the second-generation new energy car.

However, Samuel was the one in charge of the project, and Ronald had no idea what it actually was.

All he did was deceive Trevor that he had it so that the latter could pay him tons of money and even allow his entire family to flee the country.

Never had Ronald expected that Trevor would do this to him.

Besides, Samuel had already lost everything that he had.

There was nothing left that Ronald could give Trevor.

Trevor was simply driving Ronald to a dead end by going back on his word.

As he thought about this, Ronald genuinely regretted working with a sly old fox like Trevor.

Damn it!

As Yadiel drove, he couldn’t help but glance at Kathleen, who was in the back seat, from time to time.

After they returned to Jadeborough, she had become exceptionally quiet.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

Yadiel picked up the call.

“It’s me.”

“What? Are you serious?”

“No way!”

“All right. I got it. I’ll talk to her about it.”

After ending the call, Yadiel pursed his lips and asked, “Dr. Johnson, I have a piece of good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”

Hearing this, Kathleen snapped back to her senses.

“The good news first,” Kathleen replied coldly.

“Mr. Macari is back.” Yadiel spoke cautiously.

Kathleen frowned. “Where is he now?”

“The airport,” Yadiel answered.

“Then what’s the bad news?” Kathleen asked again.

“Mr. Macari is going to be engaged to Ashley. They’re now being interviewed by the reporters at the airport,” Yadiel replied helplessly.

At this, Kathleen was at a loss for words.

“Dr. Johnson, are we going to the airport now?” Yadiel asked.

“No.” Kathleen shook her head. “Head back to the office.”

“Yes, Dr. Johnson.” Yadiel didn’t expect that Kathleen would be so calm.

Kathleen was indeed calm.

She knew that Samuel wouldn’t die.

However, she didn’t expect that he would be engaged to Ashley.

Despite that, it was great that he was back.

As for who he wished to marry, that was entirely up to him.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Samuel’s handsome face was tensed.

Never would he expect that Ashley would arrange for reporters to pick him up at the airport.

Besides, she even announced the news of their upcoming engagement.

However, Samuel didn’t intend on getting engaged to Ashley.

Initially, he just wanted to clarify things after he came back.

But now, what Ashley did caught him completely off guard.

However, Ashley was the one who saved him after all, so he didn’t want to reject her immediately.

“We’re very grateful for all your blessings. The engagement between Samuel and I will be held in a week’s time, and we hope to see all of you there. We hope to receive your blessings.” Ashley smiled as she hooked her arm through Samuel’s.

Hearing this, Samuel’s handsome face turned cold.

“Would you like to say a few words, Mr. Macari?” a reporter asked.

From the beginning, Ashley had always been the one speaking on behalf of them.

“I have nothing to say,” Samuel responded coldly.

Before he made things clear for himself, he didn’t wish to provide any comment.

“I have a question for you, Mr. Macari. What about Kathleen?” the reporters persistently questioned him.

“Kathleen?” Kathleen furrowed his brows slightly.

“The interview for today will end here,” Ashley said as she hurriedly pulled Samuel away.

The reporters scrambled after them.

Seeing this, Ashley immediately shot the bodyguards a look.

The bodyguards instantly stepped up to block the reporters.

The reporters could only watch as the two took their leave.

Meanwhile, there was a car waiting for them outside.

After they got into the car, it was only then that Ashley heaved a sigh of relief.

She was slightly nervous.

If Samuel hadn’t been in a rush to come back, she wouldn’t have returned to Jadeborough while her relationship with him was still unstable.

That was despite how Samuel already believed her that Kathleen already had feelings for someone else, and how he didn’t have any feelings for Kathleen at that moment.

“Where are we going?” Samuel asked coldly.

“Let’s go to our house first,” Ashley replied with a smile.

“What about my parents?” Samuel questioned icily.

At this, Ashley felt a little guilty.

She hadn’t informed the Macari family of this at all.

Because of that, Wynnie and Calvin wouldn’t be going there.

“Samuel, I actually wanted to tell you that your parents were tricked by Kathleen,” Ashley responded sheepishly. “They are still very trusting of her now. In fact, after your incident this time, she secretly linked up with my uncle and poached a renewable energy development team from Macari Group.”

Samuel’s expression remained cold. “Do you have evidence of that?”

“Of course. The person in charge of the team is already at my uncle’s company. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him,” Ashley continued cautiously. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“I’ll go meet my parents first,” Samuel said indifferently.

“All right.” Ashley was helpless.

Why is he just so indifferent?

However, she knew that Samuel had always been unexpressive. Even if he lost his memory, his temperament wouldn’t change drastically either.

What she was most worried about was if she could successfully trick an intelligent person like Samuel. After all, if even a small flaw was revealed, there would be a possibility that her lie would be exposed.

Soon, they reached the condominium.

Ashley tricked Samuel into believing that that was where they stayed.

After Samuel got out of the car, he glanced at the condominium, his face expressionless.

“Let’s go,” Ashley said with a smile.

Samuel followed after her.

When the security at the door saw them coming in, he greeted them warmly, “Mr. Macari, Ms. Zeller, you’re finally back.”

Ashley glanced at Samuel. “Look. Even the security here knows that you haven’t been back for a long time.”

Samuel’s cold and dark eyes swept across the security guard.

The security guard was so frightened that he broke out into a cold sweat.

What a terrifying glare!

Although there wasn’t a trace of anger on Samuel’s handsome face, his gaze was extremely sharp.

All of this had been arranged by Ashley in advance.

She then pulled Samuel into the elevator.

Samuel retracted his hand.

“Samuel, the engagement ceremony will be in a week’s time. Don’t you have any opinions about it?”

Samuel remained silent, and there wasn’t a trace of warmth in his eyes.

“Samuel, I’m not young anymore. You can’t possibly make me keep waiting, can you?” Ashley asked pitifully.

“If you’re in such a hurry, you can marry someone else instead,” Samuel replied while maintaining a frigid expression.

“How could you say that? You’re the one I love. How could I marry someone else?” Ashley was on the verge of tears.

Samuel retracted his gaze. “Because I don’t want to get engaged, let alone get married.”

When she heard this, Ashley’s eyes reddened.

Soon, the elevator reached their floor, and they stepped out.

Ashley walked over to a door, keyed in the passcode, and opened the door.

After she entered, she took a pair of male slippers for Samuel and a pair of female slippers for herself.

They were a pair of matching slippers.

Besides the matching slippers, there were plenty of other matching items in the house.

All of them seemed to be reminding Samuel about his relationship with Ashley.

Ashley then opened the door to the bedroom. “Have a rest first. I’ll get someone to fetch your parents.”
