After entering, Tidas sat on the chair and said, “From now on, you will be the successor of the Yates family. You will have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.”

“This is a difficult document that the Yates family needs to handle. You will learn to handle it in the future.”

“Of course, this is your first time taking over. You will inevitably have some things that you don’t understand. Just ask me when the time comes.”

After all, the older Tidas was, the slower he was when it came to working.

He handed these documents over to Kathleen to handle one at a time. This was also to pave the way for Kathleen to inherit the Yates family in the future.

Kathleen glanced at the documents in front of her and raised her hand to tear them apart.

When Tidas saw this scene, he was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth in disbelief and said, “Kathy, what are you doing?”

Kathleen stared coldly at Tidas. Red words appeared in her mind once again.

She grabbed Tidas’s neck and muttered, “I’m going to kill you!”

Marchesa walked in and saw this scene. She was so scared that the tea in her hand fell to the ground.

Marchesa walked forward quickly and said anxiously, “Kathy, what are you doing? Put down your father quickly.”

Kathleen glanced at Marchesa and ignored her. Her hands were still clutching Tidas’s neck.

Tidas’s face was flushed red from the lack of air.

He struggled with all his might, but this Kathleen was frighteningly strong.

Seeing that Tidas was about to be strangled to death, Marchesa cried, “Kathy, let go! He is your father!”

Marchesa’s voice seemed to have awakened Kathleen and made her stop.

She looked at Marchesa’s crying face and frowned.

Kathleen’s heart would soften when she saw Marchesa crying because Marchesa was her mother and the two of them were very close.

However, it was only her heart that softened. She still did not have any emotions.

Seeing Kathleen let go of Tidas, Marchesa heaved a sigh of relief and immediately ran to Tidas’s side.

“My dear, are you alright?”

Tidas’s neck was grabbed, and he almost could not catch his breath. His face was red, and he was breathing in large mouthfuls of fresh air.

He pointed at Kathleen and said, “You ungrateful daughter, how dare you treat me like this… you’re too hateful.”

Marchesa calmed him down and said, “My dear, don’t be angry. Perhaps Kathy was in a moment of panic. She usually treats you with great respect.’

“How could you say she still respects me when she was about to kill me?” Tidas raised his eyes and looked at Kathleen, his face still filled with anger.

He was about to ask someone to punish Kathleen when she made her move.

Kathleen raised her sleeve, and a silver needle flew out from her sleeve.

The silver needle pierced into Tidas’s shoulder. Tidas let out a cry, closed his eyes, and fainted.

Marchesa looked at this scene and said anxiously, “My dear, what happened? Are you alright?”

Kathleen coldly said, “He didn’t die, he just fainted.”

Marchesa heaved a sigh of relief. She turned her head to look at Kathleen and said, “Kathy, what’s wrong with you? Why are you treating your father like this?”

Kathleen coldly looked at Marchesa and did not say a word. She turned around and left the study.

When she reached the main door, she said to the two guards, “Father is sick. From now on, don’t let anyone disturb him. Let him recuperate properly. If there’s anything, I will handle it. Do you understand?”

The guards knew that Kathleen was the future successor of the Yates family and was rather polite to her. They repeatedly nodded. “Yes, I understand.”

After leaving the study, Kathleen went straight to the Taylor family castle.

Everyone there knew of Kathleen. When they saw her appear, they immediately reported it to Bach.

Ever since Bach found out that Kathleen had gone missing, he could not rest well. He had been sending people to look for her.

Only after he heard that she had been rescued did he finally relax.

Just as he was about to visit Kathleen, the news that Kathleen had gone to the Hillford was spread out.

Bach smiled bitterly in his heart. Diana was right. The first thing that Kathleen did after she returned was to go to Hillford to look for John.

No matter what he did, she would not accept him.

It had caused Bach to be in a very bad mood. During this period of time, he had not attended any banquets and had locked himself in the castle.

When he heard that Kathleen was looking for him, Bach said in surprise, “Are you sure it’s really Kathleen? She’s back?”

The butler nodded. “Of course. Everyone knows Ms. Kathleen.”

“Alright, let her come up now.” Bach stood up and said, “No, no, no, I’ll go and welcome her.” Bach hurriedly went to the hall to look for Kathleen.

Kathleen sat in the hall and waited for Bach. When she saw him appear, she stood up from the sofa.

“Kathleen, you’re fine!”

Bach walked forward and sized her up from head to toe. When he saw that she was completely unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“They said that you suffered a lot. I’ve always been worried about this.”

“Now that I see that you’ve recovered, my heart can finally be at ease.”

Kathleen looked at Bach, and her red lips curled up into a smile. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for making you worry.”

Bach did not expect that Kathleen’s attitude would be so good. He repeatedly said, “It’s fine. As long as you’re fine, it’s fine.”

“Oh right, why did you come here this time? Is there something you need?”

After all, Kathleen would never look for him without any reason.

Kathleen looked at Bach with a small smile. “I can’t look for you without reason?”

“Of course, I don’t mean that. I’m just curious why you would look for me.”

Kathleen looked up at Bach and smiled charmingly. “Why else would I look for you? I miss you.”

In her mind, she knew that Bach liked Kathleen and knew that he was the young master of the Taylor family.

As long as she obtained Bach, it would be the same as controlling the Taylor family.

That was why Kathleen would treat him this way.

Bach was struck by Kathleen’s smile and the emotions in his heart grew stronger.

He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt that something was not right.

What was going on? Kathleen had always been quiet and never flirted with him.

She would never show such an expression to him!

Bach could not help but ask, “Kathleen, what’s wrong? You’re acting a little strange today.”

His hand touched Kathleen’s forehead and realized that her body was frighteningly cold. He could not help but ask, “Are you cold?” Kathleen shook her head. “I’m not cold.”

“But your body is cold…”

“Then shouldn’t you keep me warm?” Kathleen said as she leaned on Bach’s body.

Bach looked at the woman in front of him in shock. For a moment, he did not know how to react.

“Kathleen… have you left John? Why did you suddenly…”

Kathleen lifted his chin and said softly, “Why do you have to ask so many questions?”

“Or do you not like me anymore?”
