After Samantha cleaned up, she immediately went to find Yurika.
Yurika is an architect. She was inspecting the construction site at the moment.
Seeing Samantha appearing on the construction site in high heels under the scorching sun, she was first stunned, then immediately took a safety helmet from her assistant and ran over to put it on Samantha.
Angrily, she said, "Don't you know it's dangerous on the construction site? What if something happens? Do you want me to worry?"
Ignoring everything, Samantha hugged Yurika tightly. "Yurika, I miss you so much."
Yurika was stunned. Her nose felt warm, and her eyes suddenly turned red, covered with a mist of tears.
<Ethan leaned down, his hand gripping her jaw, and the surroundings seemed to be enveloped in an icy tundra."If it weren't for you giving birth to two sons for me, do you think you'd still have the right to speak to me here?"As he spoke, Suzy's body violently trembled. Her crying face was now smeared with makeup, black mascara and eyeliner smudged by tears, looking disgusting and pitiful.Ethan disgustingly threw her away. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped his slender fingers, one by one, not missing even the gaps between them."Remember, don't touch Samantha in the future. Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't see the sun the next day."After saying that, he threw the
The two of them exchanged a glance, instantly understanding everything about the situation inside the room.Yurika coldly snorted, disdainfully saying, "Karen, didn't expect this, did you? Heaven has eyes; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just a matter of time."Since they've already torn off the facade, Karen didn't bother to pretend any longer. Ignoring the intense pain in her palm, she climbed up from the ground, looked coldly at Samantha and Yurika, and expressionlessly said, "What's wrong with pursuing true love? Yurika, do you think I'm like you? A coward who secretly likes Justin but dares not openly pursue happiness."She continued, looking at Samantha, "And you, a woman with a questionable past, not knowing which wild man fathered your illegitimate child. What qualifications do you have
At Ethan's command, the Emperor Group terminated all cooperation with the Miller group.Not only were the projects that had not yet begun immediately terminated, but ongoing projects also had their funding withdrawn.Banks were demanding repayment of loans from the Miller family group.Suddenly, the Miller family group found itself in an unprecedented crisis.Lloyd Miller didn't understand why Ethan suddenly decided to cut off all ties with the Miller family group. He immediately contacted Ethan.However, Ethan only gave three words: "Ask your daughter."Then he promptly hung up the phone.
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.
After the family recognized each other, Charlotte, Alexander, and Noah returned to Chelsea Creek. Elliot and Grandpa Miller stayed at home. After a bit of fussing, the three kids finally fell asleep. Samantha sat by the bedside, gently stroking their little heads, her heart filled to the brim with an unprecedented sense of contentment. After watching for a while, Samantha bent down and kissed each of them on the forehead before reluctantly leaving the room. Ethan leaned against the corridor wall, his long legs elegantly crossed, his eyes fixed on her without blinking. Seeing her coming out, he strode over. "Wanna talk?" he asked. Samantha nodded in agreement. The two returned to the room. Ethan hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her neck, and said hoarsely, "Samantha, let's get married!" The sudden proposal left Samantha somewhat bewildered. She stiffened and asked, "Why do you want to marry me? Because I'm the mother of your three children?" If it was just because
Hearing their tearful words, Samantha's heart ached. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Alex sobbed, "Mommy, you are our biological mother." Samantha had always known that they wanted her to be their biological mother, but she didn't take their words seriously, thinking they just missed her. She said gently, "Silly children, even though I'm not your biological mother, I've always treated you as my own." Especially after finding out that Elliot was Suzy's son, and considering the ominous situation regarding Alex and Noah's birth mother, she cherished them even more. From then on, she no longer had any concerns about interacting with them as she did before. Alex let go of her and hurriedly explained, "No, you are our biological mother in terms of blood relationship." Samantha asked puzzled, "Who told you that?" She didn't remember giving birth to a pair of twin sons. Noah said, "Fath
After the meal, Samantha couldn't wait to go home. She retrieved her phone from her bag and opened the recording app.Soon, Suzy's voice filled the room:"How could you be with Samantha?""I don't care why you're with Samantha. If you dare to tell her about our relationship, I won't be polite to you.""...""Stop pretending. You know what I'm talking about! If you dare to reveal our relationship, I will make sure you have nowhere to hide. I've killed your father, and I won't hesitate to kill you too.""It's best if you don't acknowledge me! Remember what you said. I'm not your mother, and you're not my son. We are two strangers who don't know each other. If our relationship is discovered by others, I will make sure you find your father in hell soon, and Samantha will be in trouble again."The recording ended.The phone fell silent.Samantha widened her eyes in disbelief, her face
The mother and sons hugged each other tenderly for a while before Alex and Noah pulled Samantha inside.Confused, Samantha turned to Ethan and asked, "What's going on? Is my case resolved? Am I innocent?"Ethan remained silent, sitting on the sofa with a cold expression.Alex held Samantha's hand and explained, "Mommy, do you know how much effort Daddy put in to save you? He went to great lengths to get the dashcam from Albert and then found the programmer who deleted the records, forcing the programmer to recover the records for that day. That's how you were released without charges. Otherwise, you would still be locked up in detention."Surprised, Samantha looked at Ethan, unable to believe that he had actually saved her.She moved her lips slightly and slowly uttered two words, "Thank you."Ethan's icy expression began to melt visibly. He glanced at Samantha faintly.Although he still looked proud, Samantha knew that he was in a go
To find out Samantha's situation, Alex and Noah did not stay for dinner.After hurriedly bidding farewell to everyone, the two of them took a taxi directly to a private detective agency, where they paid a hefty sum to hire a detective to investigate Samantha's situation.They knew that even if they went back to ask their father, he wouldn't tell them the truth.So, they decided to take matters into their own hands.Private detectives have extensive networks, and in less than half an hour, they had tracked down Samantha's whereabouts."Samantha, female, twenty-three years old, the eldest daughter of Lloyd Miller, the CEO of the Miller Group. She was taken away by the police for murder last night and is currently being held in custody."After saying this, the detective handed over the data and photos that were transmitted to the computer to Noah and Alex."Take a look, is this the person?"Alex and Noah's hearts were pounding as
Jade nodded, confirming, "Yes."Ethan squinted, a layer of frost enveloping him.Albert took away the dashcam?What does he want to do?And what does this have to do with him?Seeing his thoughts, Jade asked, "Boss, should I have someone investigate?"Ethan shook his head, "No need, you can leave!"Jade asked in surprise, "What about Miss Samantha?"Ethan lazily leaned back in his chair, slender fingers playing with a pen, lips slightly curved as he scoffed, "What about her? If the police station calls saying she wants to see me, then you can come find me."Jade was first stunned, then realized.Ethan was planning to make Samantha apologize first?Recently, Samantha deliberately kept her distance from Ethan in order to marry Justin, which had put Ethan in a very bad mood lately.As a high-end hunter, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative, just waiting for the other party to 'fall into the trap' w
Sarah confirmed repeatedly, "Is Charlotte's mother named Samantha?"The principal took out her phone, pulled up the information, and nodded. "Yes, Charlotte's mother is indeed named Samantha."Sarah's expression became even more unpleasant, her mood more complex than ever. "When was Elliot taken back by Charlotte's mother? Why is he at Charlotte's house?"The principal recounted the whole story truthfully."Poor Elliot, when he first transferred to our school, he was withdrawn and ignored everyone, always sitting alone in the corner. Later, the teachers found signs of abuse on him. Through investigation, they found out that he had no mother since he was little, and his father was often drunk and abusive due to gambling. It's not easy for him to survive till now."Thinking that Sarah had donated a scholarship to Elliot, she must care about him and be a kind-hearted person. Therefore, she didn't hide anything and told Sarah the truth about Elliot's s
Albert nodded, assuring her, "Don't worry, no matter what it takes, I will get you out."Samantha's calm heart stirred slightly at Albert's words. She couldn't help but feel moved by his sincerity. However, her feelings were purely gratitude, nothing more."Mr. Davis, can you do me a favor?""What is it?""Could you contact Yurika for me and ask her to temporarily stay at my house to take care of my grandfather and the children? My grandfather is old and has limited experience. He can't always pick up and drop off the kids for me. As for my situation, you can tell her the truth. She's the person I trust the most so far."Albert readily agreed to her request.After chatting with his lawyer for a while and giving him a detailed understanding, Samantha was taken back to the detention center.Looking at the cold walls around her, Samantha felt helpless and fearful for the first time....Not long after Albert left, Suzy was
Samantha gathered her thoughts and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a witness."The police asked, "Who?"Samantha replied, "My sister, Suzy Miller, She invited me out that day, and we were together the whole afternoon. You can go ask her if you don't believe me.""Legally speaking, she's your sister, and her testimony cannot be used as evidence."Samantha forced herself to remain calm. "There's a dashcam in her car. Her car broke down that day, so the dashcam should have recorded both of us."The two policemen exchanged a glance.The one who had been questioning her said, "According to procedure, you cannot leave for now. We'll go find Suzy and clarify the situation. If she can indeed prove your innocence, we'll release you immediately."After saying this, they had Samantha locked up
