Ethan was momentarily stunned.
The scent of Samantha's unique fragrance filled the air between them. His breath suddenly became erratic, and his heartbeat accelerated.
Samantha nibbled on his thin lips, murmuring indistinctly, "You may not say it, but I know you care about me."
"Who cares..." Ethan began to speak, but Samantha didn't give him a chance to deny; she sealed his lips again.
Ethan froze, as if struck by lightning, unable to resist.
Seeing his lack of response, Samantha boldly cupped his face, brought her red lips to his ear, and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "I heard your office has a lounge?"
While asking, her eyes roamed around the office.
Soon, her gaze settled on the door next to the bookshelf.
Ethan's eyes narrowed suddenly, emitting a dangerous aura.
"What do you wan
Not long after Samantha and Ethan left the Emperor Group, Suzy arrived. She was stopped by Jade outside the door."Miss Miller, the president is not in the office."Suzy's face turned unpleasant, "I know he's in there, and Samantha is also inside. I am the future wife of your president, and I have the right to enter my future husband's office."Jade maintained a distant attitude, showing a professional demeanor. "I'm telling the truth. Ten minutes ago, Miss Samantha was hungry, and Mr. Steele went out to have a meal with her."Upon hearing this, Suzy's face instantly displayed a spectrum of colors, vivid and brilliant."He... he went out to have a meal with Samantha?" Her body trembled with anger.Even though she had given birth to a son for Ethan, he had never treated her specially, let alone taken her out for a meal. What kind of charm did Samantha possess
After leaving the Emperor Group, Suzy went straight to the Steele family's old mansion.Upon seeing Anna, she cried with such a sense of grievance."Auntie, you must help me! Ethan is with Samantha again. If this continues, she will truly become Noah's stepmother. Noah has been introverted since childhood, and if he gets another stepmother, what will he do?!"Anna didn't like her son being accused, slightly furrowing her brow, displeased. "Ethan personally told me that he's not interested in Samantha. Don't be suspicious for no reason."Seeing her disbelief, Suzy took out photos Samantha had sent her and a small video Karen had sent."Look, this video was taken by Samantha in the lounge of Ethan's office. You should know that the lounge is a very private place, and Samantha can freely come and go there. Also, look at Ethan's neck, it's covered in hickeys..."
A cunning gleam flashed in Karen's eyes as she intentionally staggered when pushed.Samantha immediately supported her, anxiously asking, "Karen, are you okay? What happened?"Karen's face turned deathly pale. She shook her head, nervously holding Samantha's hand, on the verge of tears, "What's wrong with Yurika? Everything was fine, why does she suddenly want to move out? And why cut ties with us? Did I do something wrong?"Samantha shook her head, comforting her, "It's her own fault, nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself.""No, we finally reunited as best friends. We can't let Yurika leave." After saying this, Karen wanted to go to Yurika's room.Samantha, however, held her back."Don't stop her. If she wants to leave, let her go. Forget how she treated you all this time.""But..."Karen still hesitated.
Upon seeing her, that piercing heartache struck again.His hands clenched in anger.He seemed to be shrouded in an icy frost, exuding a chilling aura.As Samantha approached, she noticed his unusual demeanor and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Ethan took out his phone, found the photos, and handed them to her.At the moment she saw the photos, Samantha's face turned instantly pale, her lips unconsciously pursed."Where did you get these photos?"Her reaction, in Ethan's eyes, was a sign of guilt.A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes."Are you childhood sweethearts with him?"This was a fact that Samantha couldn't deny."Yes, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts."Ethan continued, "You got engag
When Alexander saw the message from Noah, it was already the next morning.Last night, when they exchanged identities and returned home, it was already late, and their father had not returned home, so he went to his room alone to rest.Perhaps due to exhaustion, he fell asleep and woke up the next day.Upon seeing Noah's message, he immediately ran to Ethan's room, wanting to find out what happened.However, the room was empty.No one was there.He rushed downstairs and found the butler, asking, "Butler, where's my dad? Did he go to work already?"The butler shook his head and truthfully replied, "He did not return all night."Upon hearing this, Alexander felt a sense of unease.Since he moved into this house, his dad had never been away for a whole night.But last night, he d
Alexander's unusual behavior frightened Noah.He immediately rushed back to the classroom, borrowed the teacher's phone, and called Samantha."Mommy, something has happened. Alexander seems to be under considerable stress. Please hurry to Chelsea Creek, find my father, and go look for Alexander. No matter what, bring Alexander back home first."Samantha found the call perplexing."Alexander, what are you talking about?"Clearly, the person calling her was Alexander himself.Why did Noah ask her to find Alexander?Noah was almost in tears as he urgently said, "No time to explain, just hurry! If you don't go now, it might be too late. I'll talk to you about the rest when you get home tonight."However, Samantha couldn't comprehend the situation. She frowned and angrily questioned, "Alexander, if you're playing around ag
Jade, along with the group of bodyguards behind him, was utterly shocked when Charlotte suddenly barged in. When they saw their boss's daughter, they stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.Since when did their boss have another daughter?In the midst of everyone's surprised looks, Noah entered the scene, followed by Samantha.People glanced at Charlotte, then at Noah, and then at Samantha. Suddenly, there was an illusion that they were all a family.The son looked like the father, and the daughter looked like the mother.Noah walked up to Ethan and urgently asked, "Father, what's the situation now? Is there still no news of Alexander?"Samantha couldn't stop trembling.During the journey, she had learned the whole story from Noah. Knowing that Alexander was missing and possibly devastated after learning the truth, her fac
On a pitch-black night, a black SUV stopped on a remote bridge. Two men wearing black baseball caps and masks got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a sack. They tied a large stone to the top of the sack and unhesitatingly threw it into the river. The sack quickly sank to the riverbed. Countless bubbles emerged on the water surface, and then everything returned to calm.Awakening in the cold water soaking the sack, Alexander opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were severely bloodshot due to suffocation, and his body struggled and shook continuously, attempting to free himself from the danger.Unfortunately, the hemp rope binding him was tied too tight. No matter how he struggled, his body continued to sink rapidly. Lack of oxygen caused his face to turn liver-colored, presenting a highly distorted and painful appearance. His facial features were twisted, and his eyeballs seemed on the verge of popping out of their sockets. He look
