Samantha's body has almost recovered from the effects of the medicine. She curls up in the blanket like a quail, covering herself tightly, not even daring to expose her toes.
Shameful.
Too shameful.
Not only was she manipulated but also caught red-handed.
She has never been so embarrassed in her entire life.
Suzy's body trembles, pointing at Ethan with a shaky finger, and says sadly, "You...how could you..."
At this moment, the wealthy woman and their husbands also enter.
Everyone is experienced, seeing the situation in the room, they immediately understand.
The wealthy woman covers her mouth, unable to resist teasing, "Mr. Steele, you're too impatient. At least wait until after the banquet to show affection. Today, in this situation, it really shouldn't be."
Ethan's eyes are filled with a gloomy
Suzy walks behind everyone, watching their indifferent backs, feeling a sense of humiliation. She tightly twists the hem of her clothes, almost biting her lower lip with her sharp teeth. It seems that everyone has recognized her status in the Steele family, discussing things in front of her without any reservations. "Was that really Samantha under the blanket just now? It's a pity, never got to see her face from start to finish." Ethan is really good at protecting her. Except for her back, nothing was seen. "Suzy and she are real sisters, living together for over a decade. If she says it's her, then it must be." "Poor thing, she lost her fiancé to her own sister. Judging by how Ethan defends Samantha, she'll probably marry into the Steele family sooner or later." "What's so good about Samantha? How did she bew
Ethan caught up, holding her wrist, puzzled, "You were fine just now. Why are you throwing a tantrum again?" Samantha kept her head down, gently shaking it without speaking. She was frustrated with herself for being so indecisive and hesitant. It wasn't fair to both Justin and Ethan. However, she couldn't control herself. On one hand, she was determined to distance herself from Ethan, but unconsciously, she found herself leaning towards him. Her silent demeanor made Ethan's temper flare uncontrollably. "Samantha, don't challenge my patience just because I like you. What's wrong with you?" Samantha continued shaking her head. "I'm really fine. I'm just tired, haven't figured many things out. When I get back, I'll think it through, and I'll give you an answer." After saying that, she forcibly freed her hand and walked towards the door.  
Discovering where his gaze lingered, Samantha, belatedly realizing, quickly covered her neck with her hand. Her small face turned red, and she shamefully lowered her head. "Justin, I'm sorry..."The confirmation of her suspicions drained the color from Justin's face. His tall figure swayed for a moment. There was a moment when the sadness in his heart almost turned into tears."Is it Ethan?"The tone was affirmative.Apart from Ethan, he couldn't think of anyone else.Samantha didn't want to deceive him and nodded, "Tonight I was set up and drugged. Ethan detoxified me."Justin asked, "Drugged? By whom?"Being drugged in the Steele family seemed absurd no matter how one thought about it. However, he trusted Samantha; she wouldn't deceive him.Samantha revealed her suspicion, "I suspect it was my sister, Suzy. She want
After making the decision to marry Justin, Samantha and him began to prepare for their wedding. They chose the wedding date, selected rings, picked out wedding gowns, and had their wedding photos taken.In order to forget about Ethan, Samantha cut off all contact with him. She didn't answer his calls or messages, and eventually, she decided to block his number and social media account.Seeing the mark indicating the message wasn't delivered, Ethan's face turned cold. He was furious and slammed his expensive phone onto the ground, startling Jade, who was coming in with documents.Ignoring the shattered phone, Ethan said coldly, "Go and buy me a new phone."As Jade was about to leave, he couldn't help but turn back and say, "Mr. Steele, when I escorted Miss Miller home that night, she admitted to liking you. So, there might be some misunderstanding between you two. Instead of letting the
Samantha lowered her head, took a deep breath, and gathered her courage to speak, "Ethan, I feel like we're from two different worlds, not compatible. Please, just let me go! I know I've wronged you, I shouldn't have provoked you. I apologize for my words and actions towards you. I'm sorry..."Ethan's eyes glared fiercely at Samantha, as if he wanted to devour her alive."What did you say? Say it again!"His voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, each word uttered as if he was exerting all his restraint. As if he could strangle her the next second.Samantha could clearly feel the anger and threat in his words, but she deeply knew that if they didn't clarify things today, the two of them would only continue to pull each other apart endlessly.It wouldn't be fair to Justin, nor to Ethan.She didn't want to be a woman torn between two sides."Suzy is the biological mother of Alexander and Noah, and I have my own daughter too. The Steele family can never accept Charlotte, but I
Watching Samantha, who was already suffocating, roll her eyes, Ethan narrowed his eyes, suddenly released his grip, and with force, flung Samantha out like a rag.Ethan leisurely stood up, disdainfully clapped his hands, and said contemptuously, "It's not worth dirtying my hands for a woman like you."With that, he turned to leave.Just before leaving, unable to resist, he stopped in his tracks without looking back, his back facing Samantha. "From now on, never appear in front of me again, or I will definitely kill you."With that, he left without turning his head.This time, he left decisively, without a moment of hesitation.All the strength drained from Samantha's body, leaving her collapsed on the ground. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she watched Ethan's resolute figure.It was over.Everything wa
Justin noticed his parents' attitude and tightly held Samantha's hand, giving her a gentle smile.Samantha shook her head. She knew deep down that she was not worthy of Justin now, so the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher was understandable, and she didn't take it to heart.Justin led Samantha to sit on the sofa.Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher sat on the other sofa.Justin was the only son of the Fletcher family and had three older sisters. He had been greatly expected since childhood.However, today, none of his three sisters had come. Including their grandmother, who had always loved her and Justin very much."Uncle, Auntie, where's Grandma? Why didn't she come? Can I go see her?" Samantha asked.Mrs. Fletcher replied casually, "Grandma is not in the city."With this brief answer, the matter was settled.
Justin was afraid that his mother would say something excessive to Samantha, so he hurried downstairs.Seeing Samantha and his mother chatting and laughing, with a harmonious atmosphere, he felt relieved.When Justin came down, his mother even pretended to hold Samantha's hand affectionately, saying, "Samantha is still as sensible and obedient as before. You must treat her well in the future and not let her suffer. She has endured too much hardship over the years."These words undoubtedly accepted Samantha as their daughter-in-law.A faint smile finally appeared on Justin's gloomy face. He sat next to Samantha, holding her other hand, and solemnly promised, "Mother, rest assured, I will take good care of Samantha and make her the happiest woman in the world."Mrs. Fletcher felt uncomfortable inside, but she still smiled innocently on the surface.Samantha fel
