Justin reached out and took Samantha's hand from her forehead to his face. His handsome face rubbed lightly against her hand as he said hoarsely, "Sammie, no matter what happens, can you promise not to leave me?"
His voice was almost pleading, like a child who had done something wrong waiting for forgiveness.
Pitiful yet helpless.
Samantha was stunned for a moment.
She didn't understand why he, who was perfectly fine, suddenly felt so insecure.
It seemed to have started from that message in the afternoon.
"Justin, has something happened? Who called in the afternoon?"
In the afternoon, after picking up Charlotte from the kindergarten, they went to the supermarket together to buy groceries and then went home to cook together.
The food had just been put in the pot and was not yet cooked when Justin suddenly received a me
Ethan's gloomy aura exploded completely. "How could she go missing?"Jade replied, "After she left the Emperor Group today, she went to the Fletcher Group to find Justin, and then disappeared without a trace. I've sent people to look for her, and I believe we'll find her soon."Ethan narrowed his icy eyes, gritting his teeth. "Go find her, but once you find her, don't startle her. Just have someone monitor her.""Yes!""And have someone keep an eye on Samantha, report her every move to me in detail.""Yes!"Jade acknowledged the orders and quickly hung up the phone.Listening to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Ethan's chest heaved violently.What a fool. No wonder after all these years, Karen still couldn't get Justin in her grasp.Samantha...Since she had prov
Albert leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his slender fingers playing with the ring on his thumb, and he said with a smirk, "Miss Miller seems to have already figured out who framed us. Who is she?" This was the information he obtained from her tone during their conversation last night. Samantha quietly looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her. She didn't know him. So she wouldn't trust him either. She replied, "I don't know! If I knew, I would have reported it to the police." Albert didn't expose her either. He took out a photo and placed it on the table. "Take a look, is this the man who led you to the back garden terrace that night?" Samantha took the photo, recognized the man in the photo at a glance, and nodded quickly, excitedly saying,
Samantha didn't expect Ethan to suddenly appear, and she was momentarily stunned.Albert raised his thin lips in a smile, though the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Is President Steele prepared to sit back and reap the benefits, or are you afraid I'll harm Miss Miller?"Before Ethan could speak, Samantha instinctively denied, "There's no relationship between President Steele and me. Please, Mr. Davis, don't speak recklessly and cause misunderstandings."At her words, Albert smiled meaningfully.Ethan's face turned as dark as ink.Albert smiled insincerely. "Oh... it seems I misunderstood..."Ethan stiffly tugged at his thin lips and gritted his teeth. "Albert, the bet is between you and me. Don't involve innocent people."Although he wasn't familiar with Albert, he knew all too well about Albert's methods in the business world
Ethan's heart suddenly softened unreasonably.He squatted down and gently wiped away the tears on her face, softly saying, "Don't you know you can call for a car? Walking for over an hour in high heels, aren't you tired?"Upon hearing his words, Samantha was momentarily stunned.She forgot about her tears, which hung on her eyelashes.From being a pitiful little bunny, she transformed into a silly little bunny.Yes!She could have called for a car!Just now, she was so angry that she completely forgot she could book a car online.It was all Ethan's fault.If it weren't for him making her angry, how could she have forgotten?Seeing through her thoughts at a glance, Ethan sighed helplessly in his heart, "Alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have interfered. I shouldn't have left you alone here! I know I was wrong. Can I take you back now?"Samantha stubbornly refused, "No! I'll call a car myself!"With that, she took out her phone and skillfully operated it.Ethan could hardly resist
Elliot saw Rex and his tiny body trembled fiercely, subconsciously hiding behind the teacher.Seeing him act like this, Rex was furious."Look at you, you don't look anything like my son. If it weren't for the DNA test, I would have thrown you away a long time ago. You're just a drag, making it impossible for me to pick up girls..."The teacher frowned when she heard his words, displeased, "Mr. James, how can you speak to your child like that? As a father, you should set an example for your son, teach him by words and actions, you..."Before she could finish her sentence, Rex impatiently interrupted, "Alright, alright, stop nagging. I'm tired of it! He's my son, I'll educate him myself, I don't need you..."With that, he walked behind the teacher and rudely pulled Elliot out."Let's go, it's time to go home!"Elliot's tiny body was pulled
Rex led Elliot by the hand into this luxurious villa.It was the first time Elliot had seen such a luxurious house.There was a garden in the front yard.Next to it was a swimming pool.In the back was a large golf course.He had only ever seen houses like this on the road but had never set foot inside one.Walking into such a house for the first time, he widened his eyes in astonishment, like a curious baby, looking here and there.Rex felt extremely unbalanced as he looked at Suzy living in such a luxurious house, while he and his son could only squeeze into a cramped rental house. Suzy and Sarah sat on the sofa in the living room.Seeing the shabbily dressed R
After getting the money from Suzy, Rex left Elliot alone in the motel and went out to squander the money by himself.Elliot skillfully took out a bag of instant noodles and put it into the old but clean electric rice cooker.While waiting, he took out a sudoku book from under the pillow and filled it out very seriously.Suddenly, the landline in the room rang.He put down the sudoku book and walked over to answer it."Hello!"The voice was calm and emotionless, like that of a robotic machine.On the other end of the phone came Charlotte's worried voice, "Elli, have you arrived home? When did you come back? Have you eaten?"Elliot glanced at the rice cooker in the distance. "I'm cooking instant noodles. They'll be ready soon!"Charlotte was surprised, "You're eating instant noodles? Didn't your dad
Rex stepped back in horror.His right foot slipped on the wet riverbank, causing a few pebbles to roll into the river, making a sound and splashing small water droplets.His legs instantly went weak, and he knelt down on the ground."Please, don't kill me. I'll give you anything you want. Money... you want money, right? I'll give you money... I'll give you all my money..."The man wearing the duckbill cap snorted disdainfully, "Blame yourself for offending the wrong people. We'll give you a quick death as a favor for your begging."With that, the two men approached Rex with their knives.Rex instinctively stepped back, but his foot landed on empty space, and he was too scared to move."Who sent you to kill me?"Apart from those he owed money to, he couldn't remember who else he had offended.If it
