The Man Who Never Needs to Knock Chapter 10
Kate had lost a lot of weight.She was wearing the trench coat I had bought for her, but even that had become too loose for her.Her eyes were slightly sunken, and she no longer looked like the spirited and confident career woman she used to be.As she stood in front of me, she seemed to have lost her former elegance and composure. Now, she was just walking on eggshells.She was supposed to be the respected daughter of the Swanson family, but even now, that prestige seemed to have dimmed.I pretended I hadn't seen her as I continued walking in the direction of the stairwell.Kate called out to me. "Jonathan, can we talk?"I paused in my footsteps, then turned to look at her. "What do you want to talk about?"Kate was quiet for several seconds. "I wanted to apologize to you. Samuel has depression now, and he loses his cool and starts breaking things whenever he sees me. Every single day, his parents are watching him at home in case he harms himself."I got into a huge fight wit

The app indicated that Chelsea was typing. Then, I received a series of professional analyses.Two minutes later, Chelsea sent me a message. "Typing is too much hassle. There's a cafe right below my law firm. Mr. Keeley, could we meet up there and talk?"I thought for several seconds. Then, I replied, "Sure."Half an hour later, Chelsea and I met up at the cafe.She was wearing a custom business suit, and she had her long hair pinned up. She looked elegant and composed as she nodded lightly at me. "Hello, Mr. Keeley."I shook hands with her. I could feel an air of convincing professionalism radiating from her.After chatting with Chelsea, I gave her full control over Muffin's case.The next time we met was at the police station, when Samuel asked to talk to me.Chelsea had accompanied me to see Samuel. As soon as Samuel saw me, he stood up and begged, "Jonathan, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! I wasn't thinking straight back then. I thought it'd be fine! I'll give you all the mone

"Kate, I'm warning you, I've already installed surveillance cameras. If you show up at my house ever again, I'm going to call the police." I took a step back into my home, my expression filled with disgust. "I'll inform my relatives of our breakup today, and I hope you'll do the same with your family."If someone does what your dad just did, calling me just to lecture me and tell me to be broad-minded or something, I'm going to stop playing nice."Kate's face turned pale. "My dad talked to you? I'm sorry, I didn't know…"I scoffed. "You didn't know? You're aware of the sort of person your dad is, aren't you? If you exaggerate things and bad-mouth me right in front of him, do you think he'd be able to hold back?"Kate was stunned.Of course, she knew that very well. She just wanted to use Fred to pressure me into changing my mind. "Jonathan, it's all my fault. I should've handled this better. But don't you think that's too severe a punishment for Samuel? He's a little mischievo

"Thank goodness, Jonathan, you finally picked up!" Fred sounded a little tired. "Kate told me all about what happened yesterday. "She and Samuel are the ones in the wrong here. That dare is nothing short of absurdity! "Jonathan, please don't get upset. I'll be coming over with Kate and Samuel to apologize to you soon. I'll make sure Samuel doesn't do anything like that ever again."As for that cat, I've heard about it as well. Nothing major happened to it, right? You know, cats are just cats. They're not human. I know what Samuel did was inappropriate, but you can't let a fine young man face criminal charges just because of a cat."Fred had referred to Muffin as "that cat".That was the only impression Fred had of Muffin.I was sure that even if something did happen to Muffin, he would consider Muffin as "just a cat" that couldn't even be compared to Samuel.I replied, "Mr. Swanson, my grandmother bought this cat for me before she passed away. He's the only keepsake she left

The other end of the line fell silent for a moment.But before Kate could say anything, I ended the call.I called the usual pet clinic and rushed over with Muffin for a checkup in the middle of the night.Muffin was in a slightly worse mental state than before, but fortunately, he was physically fine."You should spend more time with him when you're free. Pets get lonely at home, you know. "I can't believe someone would take advantage of other people's pets for money. They absolutely deserve to be punished." The usual vet comforted me and even gave me a pack of Muffin's favorite treats.On our way home, Muffin looked a little weary as he lay on the passenger seat. Still, he was purring as if he knew he was completely safe from harm now.Ryan was helping me with the boxes, and he petted Muffin's head with compassion. "Look what that guy did to our poor Muffin! You're safe now, little guy."I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. Samuel's greedy face was haunting my thoughts

When we arrived at the scene, I kicked open the half-closed door of the buyer's home.I could hear Muffin's heartwrenching cries coming from within.I strode right into the room to find Samuel grabbing Muffin and trying to shove a pill into his mouth. "Come on, you stupid cat. Can't you just behave for once? "Just get on that cat, and we'll be 500 dollars richer! Jonathan pampered you with all the best stuff, so it's about time you pay him back!"Grabbing Samuel by the collar, I shoved him away with all my might. Then, I crouched down and picked Muffin up, my heart breaking for the poor cat.After that, the police arrived and subdued Samuel. "Hello, we've received a report accusing you of breaking in, major theft, and animal cruelty. Please come with us to the station for questioning."Samuel struggled like a madman. "It wasn't a break-in! I'm a good friend of the owner's! Jonathan, help me out here!"I coldly watched as he was taken away. I felt nothing but hatred toward tha
