Divorce Anxiety Chapter 464Chapter 464 Scared of You
Kathleen scoffed. “Slander? What did I slander you for? I only said that you knew Marjory. How is that
slander? Oh, is there something wrong with Marjory?”
Miley bit her lip in silence, as she had no way to retort what Kathleen had said.
Kathleen shot a cold look at Richard. “You can either find out the truth or stay as an idiot. It’s your
choice.”
With that, she strode off.
Richard frowned deeply, having a feeling that Kathleen was hinting at something.
“Richard, don’t be tricked by her. She’s just bitter about Gemma’s death,” Miley uttered tentatively.
“Who is Marjory?” he asked, knitting his brows.
“S-She…” Miley stammered. “She’s a friend of mine.”
Is she admitting that she knows Marjory?
“What does she do for a living?” Richard was still frowning.
Miley paused for a while before answering, “She was hired by my parents to teach me self-defense
tactics in the past. I was her student, but I was too pampered so I quit halfway. Then, she left my
house.”
Richard stared at her quietly.
“Richard, let’s get inside. The doctor is waiting for us,” Miley reminded, trying to change the topic.Richard then pushed her into the hospital, expressionless.
Miley clenched her fists secretly. Kathleen’s presence is a threat to me!
Meanwhile, Kathleen returned to the mansion and saw Rory taking out an ointment from the first aid kit.
“Rory, what happened?” Kathleen walked over.
“I…” Rory was at a loss for words.
Kathleen snatched the ointment from her. “Where did you get hurt? I’ll help you to apply it on you.”
Rory then took off her top, revealing a severely bruised spot on her shoulder.
“How did you get this?” Kathleen was shocked.
“I had a brawl with Marjory,” Rory replied in a low voice. “She was my teacher, so…”
“You didn’t win?” Kathleen cocked her brow.
“We tied.”
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, then. Luckily, she didn’t pin you down on the floor and beat you to a
pulp,” Kathleen comforted.
Rory was rendered speechless.
Kathleen’s curiosity was piqued. “Why did you start fighting with her?” she continued.
“When we were secretly tracking Ashley, she noticed us. Dr. Johnson, Marjory is now Ashley’s personal
bodyguard. It’s quite strange for her to provide protection to Ashley,” Rory explained.
“Oh?” Kathleen raised her brow. “How so?”Rory answered, “Marjory is very capable. Hiring her to be a bodyguard is costly. If Ashley didn’t do
anything, why would the Zeller family hire such a good bodyguard for her? Is it because they know
someone would seek revenge on Ashley as she had done something wrong?”
Kathleen understood what Rory was implying.
If Ashley was just trying to steal Samuel while he was still suffering from amnesia, no one would want
her dead.
Unless… she also did something else. In fact, I’ve always had a troubling question on my mind. I am
not sure if my assumption is right, but I could have my surmise confirmed during the engagement
ceremony. That’s decided then.
Kathleen continued to apply the ointment on Rory. “Do you know Marjory well?”
“Not really. She was just my teacher after all. We didn’t really communicate with each other in private,”
Rory elucidated.
Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “I have an idea. She poses a great threat to us. We should eliminate her
as soon as possible.”
“How should we do that?” Rory knitted her brow.
After pondering for a moment, Kathleen replied, “I do have an idea, but I’ll need your cooperation.”
“Okay.” Rory nodded. “When should we make our move?”
“Tonight!” A hint of solemness emerged on Kathleen’s beautiful face. “We can’t delay this.”
“Understood.”
After the fight with Rory, Marjory went back home.She didn’t expect that Rory, her ex-student, had the same level of capability as herself.
If it were in the past, she could definitely outpower Rory and defeat her student easily, but now, they
tied.
Rory is not to be underestimated, so I have to be careful.
“You’re back.” Lauren yawned as she came out of her room. “What happened to your face?”
“Nothing.” Marjory’s pride didn’t allow her to tell other people about her draw with her ex-student.
novelbin“I’m not being nosey.” Lauren spoke in a low voice. “It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it, but I just
want to tell you that Kathleen will definitely do something during Ashley’s engagement ceremony. You’ll
need to keep her under control. Nothing can happen to you at this critical juncture.”
“I know.” Marjory was unperturbed.
Upon seeing her reaction, Lauren did not bother to speak more with Marjory.
After that, Marjory went back to her room.
If it wasn’t for money, I wouldn’t have cared about this matter.
Just then, her phone rang.
She took her phone and found that it was a message from Rory.
Rory texted: See you at the warehouse at twelve o’clock tonight.
Marjory replied: I’m not going.
Rory: Then, I’ll expose you.Marjory: What?
Rory: Do you think I’m unaware of what you did for Miley? What do you think Kathleen would do to you
if she knows what you had done?
Marjory: What do you want?
Rory: Meet me, and we shall fight again!
Marjory: Fine!
Left with no choice, Marjory could only agree to Rory’s request.
Her greatest worry was Rory giving the evidence she had to Kathleen or Richard. If that happened,
Marjory knew she would be in deep trouble.
When midnight came, Marjory went to the abandoned warehouse.
The moment she stepped foot in that warehouse, a beam of light shone on her.
Standing on a stack of wooden boxes, Rory gazed down at Marjory from above.
“I knew you’d come,” Rory said. “Seems like you’re scared that I’d leak your secret. As a teacher of a
bodyguard training institution, you didn’t fulfill your duties to protect other people. Instead, you helped
someone else to harm a person. You violated the rules of the institution. Your reputation will be tainted,
and you will no longer be a teacher, let alone take on missions.”
Marjory gritted her teeth. “Rory, there are many people like me in the institution. The higher-ups of the
institution will just turn a blind eye to it.”
“Why did you come then?”Marjory froze on the spot.
Rory smiled inwardly. Kathleen is so smart! She’s guessed it right.
“Come down, and let’s have a duel!” Marjory was ready.
Rory gave her a frosty smile. “We’ll just have a draw in the end. It’s going to be boring, so there’s
someone else who wants to fight you.”
“Who is it?” Marjory furrowed her brows in confusion.
“Me.” Kathleen strode over from the side. She was wearing a black trench coat, looking cool and pretty.
Marjory scoffed, “Are you kidding me? You?”
Kathleen narrowed her eyes. “Are you scared?”
“How ridiculous. Why would I be scared?” Marjory sneered, “I’ll finish you off right here and save myself
a lot of trouble.”
“Come on then.” Kathleen flashed a provoking half-smile.
