Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety) novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Why Are You Still Alive “So that’s how it is.” Kathleen wore a slight frown with a hint of solemnness between her brows. “Zayne Hoover is a playboy. Even at his current age, he still acts as unrestrained and reckless as ever. Because of that, he had a lot of illegitimate children, but most of them passed away at a young age.” Samuel’s tone was glacial. Kathleen was stunned. “They passed away?” “Yes. Almost every one of his children didn’t manage to live past eighteen. Zion is a special case,” explained Samuel. “The Hoover family is ruthless! The children are innocent lives! Even if they want revenge, they can’t harm those children. Why can’t they just castrate Zayne to solve the problem once and for all?” said Kathleen furiously.

“That’s the tradition of the Hoover family which started from Old Mrs. Hoover’s generation.” He looked at her with a meaningful gaze in his eyes. Her face fell when she realized that he had been dropping her hints. She would be too silly if she still didn’t get it. “Do you mean what happened to my mother back then had something to do with Old Mrs. Hoover?” she asked, furrowing her brows. “Apart from Old Mr. Yoeger, she’s the only one who knows something. Otherwise, who else held such grudges against your mother? Back then, she was just a baby. What does Vanessa know? Isn’t this the most reasonable explanation?” he questioned, not showing much emotion. She pursed her rosy lips. “Which means, Old Mrs. Hoover and Old Mr. Yoeger joined forces?” “In the past, the Hoover family and the Yoeger family were once partners. Though it’s unknown why their partnership only lasted for a brief period and they parted ways after that, I guess it’s because Old Mrs.

Hoover wanted Old Mr. Yoeger to kill your mother, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, so he merely sent your mother to the welfare center,” uttered Samuel matter-of-factly. As Kathleen heard that, she was at a loss for words. Yeah, that makes sense. Samuel’s exquisitely charming facial features had graveness written all over them. “Vanessa must know a lot about what happened. When Old Mrs. Yoeger was ill, she was in charge of all the affairs in Yoeger Group. According to hearsay, she was once in contact with Old Mrs. Hoover. Moreover, she is now overseas, and it seems that the Hoover family has provided her with a lot of benefits.” Kathleen bit her lip. “Are you serious?” He nodded in response. Her pretty face turned pale as she hung her head, her long black hair concealing almost half of her fair and delicate cheeks.

How could she…” She’s so cruel! “Dorothy lived a carefree life after she married into the Hoover family. Indeed, she never really cared about Zion, as the boy was only regarded as Quentin’s blood supply since he was young. This continued until Quentin turned ten. That was when his hemophilia was finally cured.” The look in Samuel’s eyes was undisturbed as he continued telling the story. “So the Hoover family wanted to kill Zion because he was no longer useful to them?” she asked, lifting an eyebrow. He merely nodded. She was so furious she let out a frustrated chuckle. “The Hoovers have really shown me what it’s like to be demons.” “But after that, Zion suddenly went missing. No one knew where he went.” “Did Theodore save him?” She frowned. He replied, “According to what I know, Theodore had never been to the Hoover residence. Plus, it seems that Quentin’s hemophilia has recently relapsed.” She exclaimed in shock, “Seriously?” As he nodded, she let out a cold snort. “I know kids are innocent and all, but have the Hoovers thought about why this tragedy has befallen Quentin? It’s clearly well-deserved karma.” “I don’t know about that,” he answered.

After some hesitation, she asked, “Does that mean the Hoovers are targeting me since Zion is currently with me?” Samuel nodded in confirmation. “But the problem is that very few people know about Zion’s whereabouts. Even if someone were to know that a teenage boy is staying at my place, they wouldn’t necessarily know it’s Zion. I don’t think Theodore was the one who exposed the secret.” Kathleen furrowed her brows as she pondered. Theodore wants to save Zion. If he was the one who exposed the secret and Zion was captured, all his previous efforts would’ve gone down the drain. So, it can’t be him. She mulled over the whole issue seriously. After all, she was the main target of the Hoovers. Subsequently, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number before placing it on the table in loudspeaker mode. Samuel listened quietly as the call was answered. An enchanting female voice came from the other end of the line. “I thought you wouldn’t contact me anymore.” Lauren chuckled. “Why hasn’t Theodore killed you yet?” Kathleen’s voice was filled with confusion. Lauren cackled. “Haha! You’re so heartless. If it hadn’t been for me, how could you have escaped with your daughter?” Kathleen responded coldly, “I’ve given you money. Lauren, were you the one who spread the information about Zion coming to me for treatment?”
