Lloyd was still furious, raising his hand to deliver another slap.
This time, Samantha didn't let him succeed.
She firmly held onto his hand, raising an eyebrow and asking, "What? Trying to kill me? Do you think I'm still the little girl from over a decade ago, letting you hit and scold me?"
From childhood to adulthood, her inherent impression of her father was his explosive temper.
The slightest displeasure would result in beatings and scoldings.
Sarah always came to protect her.
But strangely, the more Sarah protected her, the harder Lloyd hit her.
She didn't understand the reason when s
Ethan gently waved away Nick's hand gripping his collar, straightened out the wrinkles, and a cold glint flashed in his sinister eyes, emanating a chilling low-pressure atmosphere."No need for you to remind me every time about Jessica sacrificing herself for me. It's been five years, we should all move on, not be trapped in the past."Upon hearing his words, a burst of anger erupted in Nick's heart. His head heated up, without second thoughts, he threw a fierce punch towards Ethan's face.Ethan didn't evade, taking the punch head-on.His tall figure staggered back two steps.Nick, still furious, grabbed his collar again, his expression twisted with rage. "Ethan, do you know what you're saying? Je
Oliver left.The hospital room was now left with Samantha, Yurika, and Ethan.Ethan had a large cut at the corner of his mouth, slightly swollen.Samantha's heart inexplicably twinged with pain. She said to Yurika, "Yurika, go buy a bottle of ice water."Thinking she might be thirsty, Yurika didn't ask much and nodded before leaving.Now, only Samantha and Ethan remained in the hospital room.The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.Samantha cleared her throat awkwardly, "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop. It's just that your voices were too loud, and it woke me up. As the one involved in
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the Steele family's banquet.The so-called family banquet was, in fact, a grand event attended not only by the main and branch families of the Steele family but also by prominent figures from the capital, making it look like a large-scale evening party.Guests gathered on the first floor.Alexander and Noah, dressed in identical white suits, sat dignifiedly in the children's room on the second floor, resembling noble little princes who had stepped out of a mural.After sitting for a while, Alexander couldn't sit still.Unable to resist, he leaned over the window to look below."Do yo
Suzy, as if nothing had happened, fluttered like a butterfly through the crowd, entertaining guests as the hostess.Ethan frowned and glanced at her. His handsome face was overshadowed by dark clouds, thin lips pressed tightly, a chill emanating from his icy eyes.He looked up at the clock on the wall.It was already half past six.Samantha hadn't arrived yet.She said she would be back tonight.Could it be that she changed her mind?Ethan clenched his sharp thin lips, and just as the anger in his chest was accumulating, Alexander and Noah ran over.
Samantha suddenly shivered, meeting Ethan's cold gaze, noticing his unpleasant expression. Feeling inexplicable, she couldn't be bothered to deal with him and said to Yurika, "Don't be deceived by his good looks. He has always harbored feelings for another woman. Being with a man like him will only bring you pain."If Jessica was his ex-girlfriend. maybe it would be alright.But if it was another woman who had passed away when their feelings were at their deepest, then, this woman would reside in this man's heart for the rest of his life, unable to be erased.Women fear encountering such men the most.Unfortunately, Nick was exactly that kind of unattainable man.This unforgettable love wasn't som
However, Ethan intercepted her hand in mid-air."What are you doing?" he asked.Suzy was filled with rage, disregarding the occasion, her face contorted in anger. "I want to kill this bitch! With so many men in the world, why does she have to steal my man?"The force in Ethan's hand suddenly intensified.Suzy felt like her wrist was being crushed. The pain made her scream. She cried, snot and tears streaming down her face."I love you so much, I bore two sons for you. Why do you treat me like this? What's so good about her? Why would you abandon me for her?"Ethan's eyes narrowed, flames of anger burning fiercely within, as if he wanted to dev
The guests cast curious glances one after another.They wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly when the rivals met.To their surprise, Suzy did not cry or make a scene. Instead, she handed the cold drink in her hand to Samantha, smiling and saying, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was too excited just now. Auntie already scolded me in the kitchen, and I realized my mistake. So, as a sincere apology, I offer this cold drink instead of wine. I hope you can forgive me."Samantha playfully lifted her lips.She looked at the cold drink handed to her with interest.Seeing her hesitating, the gossip flames in the eyes of the surrounding people grew stronger. Someone quickly said, "Yes, you two are real sisters; how can there be lingering resentment overnight? If you drink the cold drink she gave you, it's considered accepting her apology."Liam quietly warned, "Hurry up and drink it. Everyone is watching! Don't embarrass the Steele family."However, Alexander and Noah didn't believe Suzy at all.Th
The old lady was also moved to tears by their emotions.She turned to the old man and said, "Since he refuses to change his name, let it be! Names aren't that important. What matters is that he carries the blood of our Steele family. Moreover, his biological mother, Suzy, also has the last name Miller. Let him keep his biological mother's last name! Our Steele family is not conservative. It's acceptable for him to take his mother's last name."The old lady initially wanted to plead for Alexander. Little did she know, Alexander became even more agitated after hearing her words."No, Suzy is not my mother. My mother is Samantha Miller, and I will use the Miller last name because of Samantha. I have no relationship with Suzy Miller."His words instantly left Suzy embarrassed.The old man was visibly angered. His chest rose and fell violently, as if he could faint at any moment.
