Chapter: Chapter Twenty SevenThat night, I had nowhere to sleep, so I took a taxi back to Emilia's to stay.But before I could even get out of the car, I received a phone call.The number wasn't saved in my contacts, but it was one I knew all too well.Upon answering, I was met with the coarse voice of Henry Caine, bellowing at me:"Samantha, have some shame! It's bad enough that you slept with someone before marriage, but you're a part of the Long family now. What's this I hear about you flirting with other men?" This has always been his anthem, so I wasn't moved by his words but just kept a straight face waiting for him to get done. "How dare you, Samantha? You now stay with your lover; you are a slut just like your mother!"His harsh words still bit hard without fear. I clenched my phone tighter, forcing myself to keep my emotions in check. I retorted coldly:"Dad, don't talk about my mom like that; she had nothing to do with this.""Bastard! Do you dare talk back at me? If your useless mother hadn't died, a

Chapter: Chapter Twenty SixAfter he hung up the phone, Kent didn't continue to dwell on my apartment-hunting problem. He raised an eyebrow and said. "Do as you wish. Once you find a place, let me know."Then he walked away.Perhaps to him, it didn't matter where I lived, considering he could find me wherever, whenever he wanted.I shook my head; the current situation was a bit complicated, with matters yet to be settled. I didn't have time to clarify our relationship.I decided to find a place to live first.This neighborhood was filled with high-rise buildings, mainly housing white-collar workers, so there were plenty of apartments for rent.By the afternoon, I had found one—a two-bedroom apartment, free of clutter with reasonable cleanliness, for a monthly rent of 500 dollars, which was within my affordability.I promptly signed the rental agreement. When I was about to call Emilia to tell her about it, she beat me to it:"Sammy, something happened!""What's up?""I just saw the news; Jewel Group's shares ha

Chapter: Chapter Twenty FiveThe car seat had already been flattened into a bed by him. After he finished speaking, he lay down next to me, his body close to mine. I could feel his body temperature, and my heartbeat quickened for a moment."Well, hurry up then," I said. After saying this, I felt my face burning, probably as red as a ripe tomato. I simply closed my eyes, prepared to bear the force he wanted to give me.But Kent seemed not to be in any hurry. He just gently stroked my skin with his hand, which sported a few blisters.This gentle motion lasted for quite some time and finally halted at my private triangle and then stopped moving.I couldn't help but open my eyes to look at him. His eyes seemed even more perplexed than mine. He was staring at my body. Seeing me looking at him, he did not pull his hand away. Instead, he boldly explored deeper into me.In his eyes, there was a distinct naughty smirk:"Sammy, why do I still feel a strange sense of familiarity with you? Did we have a remarkable love af

Chapter: Chapter Twenty FourMy words were fatally wounding. I could hear the sound of something fragile being shattered on the other end of the phone. Leila roared at me:"Bitch, you worn-out shoe, picked up by someone, how could Kent possibly like you! You must have used some despicable methods to seduce him!" She yelled at me. "So what if I did? As long as he likes me, isn't that all that matters, unlike someone that I know?""Don’t celebrate too early! Just wait; I will make you pay!" she warned. "Bring it on; I look forward to it."I hung up the phone before she did, my mood plunging deeper:Kent was right; the video was leaked by Leila, not Jared.But for me, there's no difference anymore. They are both bad fruits that sprung from the same tree“I’m sorry for dragging you into this.” I apologized. “What do you mean dragging me into this?”"Bringing you along with me... You lost face..."My voice was low; regardless of how much I tried to control it, the sorrowful emotions still leaked out.He just laugh

Chapter: Chapter Twenty threeAfter Kent sat down, Ben spontaneously took the front passenger seat. Opening a bottle of water, he handed it over to Kent. "Nice one. You'd even dare to star in a minor film just to make a name for yourself! Such a sensational performance! Do your parents know what a sterling actor you are?"Kent looked particularly annoyed and directly threw his cell phone at him:"Use this time to investigate this person for me."Hearing this, I immediately buried my face in my knees. Without a doubt, the video Jared had just exposed was now being shown to another man right in front of my eyes… I felt utterly humiliated.Emilia hugged me and gave Ben a powerful punch on the head: "Don't look!""Don't look at what? This? There's nothing in here... only this man is left. Kent, your speed is too fast; it seems like you often surf the web.You've 'shopped' the woman out so quickly."Hearing this, I looked up in shock. Indeed, there was no video left on the cellphone, only a blurry picture of a man's b

Chapter: Chapter Twenty TwoUpon hearing this, a few journalists with sensitive reactions couldn't help but burst into laughter. As for me, I was stunned like a chicken, petrified on the spot. Jared's face turned uglier than ever.This meant that Kent not only publicly admitted that he slept with his wife, making him a cuckold, but now he also wanted to play innocent after taking advantage.He was asking Jared to help him investigate this matter.It sounded crazy, and honestly, I have never seen such a shameless person.Jared kept his face and said nothing, which led Kent to provoke further:"So, does Mr. Long not want to help out in this case? Is it because of fear or lack of confidence?""Or, could it be that you know the person who did it? Too familiar to take action?""Could it be... that person is you?"After a standoff of glances, Jared finally reacted, rolling up his sleeves and replying:"Mr. Miller, you're overthinking. This case involves the reputation of my wife. Of course, I will see it through. The
