Samantha was genuinely startled to see him.
"You... how did you end up here?"
Did he see everything just now?
Justin, trembling with jealousy and anger, pointed in the direction Ethan had left, gritting his teeth, "Is he your husband?"
After seeing the picture Karen sent him during the day, he dropped everything to find out what was going on with Samantha.
However, except for the company, he discovered he had no way to contact Samantha and didn't know where she worked.
Helpless, he could only wait downstairs.
Finally, he waited for her to come back, only to see her passionately kissing another man.
God knows how painful he felt at that moment.
He wished he could rush over and separate them.
Samantha hesitated for a moment, then unhesitatingly pulled Ethan out to use as a shiel
Justin woke up with a sigh.Looking at Karen lying beside him, his expression was calm and indifferent. There was no trace of the panic and guilt from the first time. He sat up slowly, putting on his clothes methodically.Karen was awakened by his slight movements, crawling to the edge of the bed, she embraced him from behind."You're awake? Why don't you sleep a bit longer?" Her voice was hoarse from the intense cries of the previous night.The first time they had been intimate was when Justin was drunk. Last night, he was completely sober. Just this fact alone made her overjoyed.Justin, with an emotionless face, said, "There's still work at the company. I have to go and deal with it."His indifference made Karen's body stiffen for a moment.After buttoning the last button, Justin brushed off her hand and stood up. "Rest well. I'm leavi
The voice recorder continued playing.Anna's voice came again."This is a blank check. Fill in any amount you want, but the condition is that you have to leave my son and grandson.""Mrs. Steele, maybe there's something you haven't understood. I have no interest in Ethan, and I've never thought of marrying him. I just wanted to sleep with him. No need to be responsible after that!""Do you know what 'each takes what they need' means? I want a man, he wants a woman, we satisfy each other's needs. After putting on our clothes, he goes his way, and I go mine. No need for emotional attachments."As her last sentence fell, a bone-chilling coldness spread wildly through the office.Ethan's handsome face turned sinister, his eyes suddenly filled with a bloodthirsty gleam.Anna put away the voice recorder, expressionless, and said,
Samantha angrily drove away from Chelsea Creek. Her hands gripping the steering wheel trembled with anger. She had never been so furious in her entire life. She parked the car by the roadside, went to the pharmacy to buy a contraceptive pill, and returned home to wash herself from head to toe, inside and out. To dispel the frustration in her heart, she immersed herself in work, and within a day, she completed the design drafts for Ellena. Looking at the drafts, she smiled satisfied, and called Ellena. "Miss Ellena, the initial drafts are ready. When do you have time? I can bring them over for you to review." Excitement resonated in Ellena's voice on the other end. "Already finished? How about we meet at Chelsea Creek? Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock?" "..." Samantha's face stiff
Alexander bravely went upstairs, knocked on the study door, but there was no response.Summoning his courage, he opened the door.A folder immediately flew towards him.Followed by a furious shout, "Get lost!"Quick on his feet, Alexander used the door to block the incoming folder, cautiously calling out, "Daddy...!"Ethan paused, and the visible coldness surrounding him reduced.Sensing the change, Alexander pushed open the study door again, walked in, and placed the tray on the desk. "Daddy, Grandpa butler said you haven't eaten anything all day, so I personally cooked a bowl of noodles for you."Seeing the steaming noodles, Ethan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You cooked?"Alexander handed the fork to Ethan and nodded vigorously. "Yes! This is my first time cooking noodles for Daddy. Give me face and eat i
Samantha couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Suzy. In a place where Ellena couldn't see, Suzy gave her a triumphant look.Samantha's blood ran cold. She angrily slammed the design drafts onto the table and questioned loudly, "Suzy, you plagiarized my design!"Suzy deliberately put on an innocent expression, pretending to be wronged, "Samantha, what are you talking about? How could I plagiarize your design?"Saying that, she casually picked up both design drafts and glanced at them.Then, with a surprised look, she widened her eyes, "Oh, Samantha, why is your design exactly the same as mine?"Flames of anger burned within Samantha. She picked up the coffee on the table and poured it unmercifully onto Suzy's face.Suzy didn't dodge; she closed her eyes and endured it.The black coffee instantly stained her white clothes with small fl
Samantha returned home with a pale face.Seeing her, Yurika rushed over, preparing to ask about the situation with the design drafts. However, noticing Samantha's pale face, her heart sank suddenly.Afraid that Samantha would feel upset, Yurika patted her shoulder and consoled, "If the design drafts didn't pass, it's because they don't appreciate it. You are amazing. If not this time, there will be another chance."Samantha quietly looked at her, her eyes dark and unclear.Yurika felt a shiver as she was scrutinized by that gaze.She had never seen such eyes before.Too sharp.It was like looking at a completely unfamiliar person.Why did Samantha look at her like this?Samantha noticed her expression and withdrew the scrutinizing gaze. She murmured, "My design draft was stolen by Suzy."&n
Ethan didn't let the matter rest and continued, "Mother should know that I hate being deceived and played for a fool, especially when someone is scheming behind my back doing things that shouldn't see the light of day."Anna's face turned pale. Her body trembled with anger.Ethan continued, "You have half an hour to suppress public opinion. You should know that if I take action, you won't be able to bear the consequences."Anna gritted her teeth and asked, "What kind of love potion did Samantha give you to make you infatuated with her like this?"Ethan raised his lips, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. His low and sinister voice echoed, "I'm not interested in her. I just don't like being manipulated."Seeing him deny, Anna still didn't believe it, suspiciously looking at him, "Do you really not like her?"She knew her son well. He had always disdained lying
Ethan stood at the door of the infusion room, watching Samantha, whose face was pale, and his heart inexplicably tightened. He wanted to go in but hesitated. Stood at the door, indecisive. At this moment, Wendy, who had been taking care of Samantha all along, suddenly received a phone call. "Lila, something has come up in the company. I need to rush back to handle it. Do you have any friends here? I'll give them a call to come and take care of you." They were work partners. They knew nothing about each other's private lives. Samantha slowly opened her eyes, her voice hoarse due to sickness, "Is it about me?" "Uh..." Wendy hesitated for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes! The Miller family is a prominent family, and this matter has indeed caused quite a stir! With our company's strength, we can't compete with them
