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.
<Samantha suddenly shivered, meeting Ethan's cold gaze, noticing his unpleasant expression. Feeling inexplicable, she couldn't be bothered to deal with him and said to Yurika, "Don't be deceived by his good looks. He has always harbored feelings for another woman. Being with a man like him will only bring you pain."If Jessica was his ex-girlfriend. maybe it would be alright.But if it was another woman who had passed away when their feelings were at their deepest, then, this woman would reside in this man's heart for the rest of his life, unable to be erased.Women fear encountering such men the most.Unfortunately, Nick was exactly that kind of unattainable man.This unforgettable love wasn't som
However, Ethan intercepted her hand in mid-air."What are you doing?" he asked.Suzy was filled with rage, disregarding the occasion, her face contorted in anger. "I want to kill this bitch! With so many men in the world, why does she have to steal my man?"The force in Ethan's hand suddenly intensified.Suzy felt like her wrist was being crushed. The pain made her scream. She cried, snot and tears streaming down her face."I love you so much, I bore two sons for you. Why do you treat me like this? What's so good about her? Why would you abandon me for her?"Ethan's eyes narrowed, flames of anger burning fiercely within, as if he wanted to dev
The guests cast curious glances one after another.They wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly when the rivals met.To their surprise, Suzy did not cry or make a scene. Instead, she handed the cold drink in her hand to Samantha, smiling and saying, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was too excited just now. Auntie already scolded me in the kitchen, and I realized my mistake. So, as a sincere apology, I offer this cold drink instead of wine. I hope you can forgive me."Samantha playfully lifted her lips.She looked at the cold drink handed to her with interest.Seeing her hesitating, the gossip flames in the eyes of the surrounding people grew stronger. Someone quickly said, "Yes, you two are real sisters; how can there be lingering resentment overnight? If you drink the cold drink she gave you, it's considered accepting her apology."Liam quietly warned, "Hurry up and drink it. Everyone is watching! Don't embarrass the Steele family."However, Alexander and Noah didn't believe Suzy at all.Th
The old lady was also moved to tears by their emotions.She turned to the old man and said, "Since he refuses to change his name, let it be! Names aren't that important. What matters is that he carries the blood of our Steele family. Moreover, his biological mother, Suzy, also has the last name Miller. Let him keep his biological mother's last name! Our Steele family is not conservative. It's acceptable for him to take his mother's last name."The old lady initially wanted to plead for Alexander. Little did she know, Alexander became even more agitated after hearing her words."No, Suzy is not my mother. My mother is Samantha Miller, and I will use the Miller last name because of Samantha. I have no relationship with Suzy Miller."His words instantly left Suzy embarrassed.The old man was visibly angered. His chest rose and fell violently, as if he could faint at any moment.
Ethan seemed oblivious to the old master's gaze and continued giving orders, "Let's consider this matter closed!"After saying that, he lifted Alexander from the ground and solemnly announced to everyone, "Today, I officially introduce you all to my son, Alexander Miller, also known as Alex! He is a fraternal twin with my other son, Noah."As his words fell, the matter seemed to come to an end, and thunderous applause erupted around them.Grandpa's face turned red with anger, his eyes rolling.Suzy's complexion was even worse than Grandpa's. She clenched her hands into fists, her fingertips deeply embedded in her flesh, unknowingly drawing blood.Although Anna wasn't happy about it, she kept quiet.On the other hand, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.Noah also breathed a sigh of relief an
Samantha, completely unaware of the fire she was igniting, only felt her body burning. Albert, like a giant block of ice, was pleasantly cool to be next to, and she involuntarily wanted more.Albert detested women who threw themselves at him and pulled her out of his embrace.However, Samantha clung to him like an octopus, tightly pressed against him, wriggling restlessly.The fire in Albert's heart burned hotter.Whether out of anger or instinctual response.Meanwhile,Ethan left the study, scanned the hall, didn't find Samantha, and was about to look for her.Suddenly, a servant rushed in urgently, exclaiming, "Something's wrong! Miss Samantha fell down the steps on the terrace in the back garden. It seems like her right leg is broken."The voice was loud enough for half of the people at the venue to hear.&n
Ethan's breathing suddenly became heavier. His feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds each, and with difficulty, he approached the curtain. He reached out and pulled it open.Behind the curtain, Samantha was wearing the maid's clothes, soaking in the bathtub. Her entire body was submerged in the cold water, yet her skin remained red, as if she were a boiled shrimp.At this moment, she was uncomfortably burying her face in the water, eyes closed, breathing heavily.Countless bubbles surfaced on the water.Ethan's displeased eyebrows tightened. He walked over in three steps and lifted her out of the bathtub, angrily asking, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"The cold water brought a momentary clarity to Samantha's mind. Seeing Ethan, an overwhelming sense of grievance suddenly surged, and tears uncontrollably flowed down.For some reason, at this moment, she felt very wronged, wanting to
Banquet hall. Anna moved through the guests, holding Alex's hand while also guiding Noah and Liam. The young maid had already been hidden away by Alex in a safe place. After locating Samantha, Suzy sat back in the hall, taking a glass of red wine from a waiter and following quietly behind Anna. Seeing her, Anna couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go just now?" Suzy smiled, "I had a bit of a stomachache and went to the restroom." Anna didn't doubt her and continued socializing with Liam. Suzy squatted down, looking at Alex and Noah, trying to please them, "Alex, Noah, is it boring here? Do you want me to take you somewhere fun?" Noah looked at her without expression, not responding. Alex sweetly smiled at her, "Is what you said true?" Suzy instantly felt a chill crawling up her
