Samantha arrived at Chelsea Creek and immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Ethan sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, seemingly lost in thought.
The surrounding servants worked with their heads down, not daring to breathe loudly.
She walked to Ethan's side and softly called, "Mr. Steele."
Ethan snapped back to reality, handed her the prepared contract, and said, "This is the employment contract. Take a look and sign it if there are no problems."
Samantha took the contract, carefully read it, and checked the three requests she made, including the conditions Ethan promised. The contract was standard and had no problems. Without hesitation, she signed her name.
Ethan, with a humane tone, said, "I will have the housekeeper prepare a study for you. If needed, you can work here. However, your activities are limited to the kitchen and the study."
Samantha didn't mind. Her work was already very free, and she didn't
Capturing his expression in her eyes, Samantha teased, "How is it? Doesn't it taste good? I made it myself this morning, originally intended as a dessert for myself after lunch, but now it's yours."Ethan glanced at the almost empty plate of small cakes, his face as colorful as a palette.He wanted to eat but couldn't let go of his pride, so he said half-heartedly, "It's average!"Seeing him salivating but unwilling to let go of his dignity, Samantha cleverly stuffed another cake into his mouth.Ethan obediently opened his mouth.Another piece of cake went in.The sweet and sticky taste, like a gentle breeze, scattered the dark clouds in his heart.To save face, Samantha placed the small cake on the coffee table, pretending to prepare lunch, and went to the kitchen.Ethan looked at the small cake, swallowed his saliva, glanced furtively in the direction of the kitchen, and quickly picked up a small piece, putting it in his mout
"Arrh..."Suzy screamed in frustration, rushed over, and intended to slap Samantha in the face."Samantha's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly dodged behind Ethan.Suzy's hand, however, unerringly landed on Ethan's face, unable to dodge in time."Slap..."The scene seemed frozen.Ethan's handsome face was covered in frost, like a devil suddenly filled with horror.Suzy was dumbfounded.Looking at the clear five-finger marks gradually appearing on Ethan's handsome face, she panicked, "Ethan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to; I... I wanted to hit that bitch. I... I didn't mean to hit you!"Samantha walked out, gently patting Ethan's swollen face. Her little face wrinkled, pretending to be distressed, "Oh dear, it's swollen. Does it hurt a lot? I'll go to the kitchen and get some ice for y
At the moment when she received a definite answer, Samantha couldn't help but burst into tears."It's my fault. Grandpa has been so good to me, liked me so much, and I made him worry for four years.”If she hadn’t changed her name when she was abroad, her grandpa might have known about her whereabouts and wouldn’t worry too much."No, I have to find Grandpa. I need to persuade him to undergo treatment."After saying this, she rushed anxiously towards the door.Ethan noticed that her emotions were off, afraid that she might be in danger if she drove, so he followed her with the car keys in hand.Samantha reached the garage and found that the car keys were in her bag, but she had left the bag behind in her haste.She turned to go back to the house to get her bag when Ethan stopped her,
Her words fell into Sarah's ears, instantly taking on another layer of meaning. Her face changed drastically, and she sharply questioned, "What do you mean by that? Are you two together? What's your relationship?" Afterward, Sarah looked at Ethan, forgetting her fear and angrily said, "Mr. Steele, do you know that you have a fiancée? Now you're unclear with another woman. Are you being fair to Suzy? Don't forget, Suzy risked her life to give birth to your son." "Open the door." Ethan gave the final order. His lowered voice indicated that his patience had run out. No matter how dissatisfied Sarah was, no matter how brave she was, she didn't dare to really confront Ethan. The future of the Miller family, the happiness of her daughter, all rested in Ethan's hands. But the anger in her heart couldn't be easily suppressed. With a fierce glare at Samantha, she forgot her fear and ordered the servant to open the door reluctantly. Etha
Ethan's eyes turned cold, like a cheetah, he swiftly rushed out and grabbed the intruder's wrist."Clang..."The teacup in Sarah's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.An icy chill emanated from the depths of Ethan's eyes. "You have a lot of nerve, daring to eavesdrop."Sarah's eyes darted nervously, avoiding direct eye contact with Ethan, as she awkwardly explained, "I... I came to bring you tea! I wasn't eavesdropping."Ethan narrowed his eyes, warning, "You better speak the truth. Otherwise, I will terminate all cooperation with the Miller family."His thin lips pressed together, radiating a strong sense of oppression.Sarah was overwhelmed by his powerful presence, struggling to catch her breath, and nodded with a shiver.Samantha never expected that the sharp-tongued and arrogant Sarah would appear so submissive in front of Ethan. A strange sense of satisfaction filled her heart.Sarah, embarrassed, was
Upon recalling Ethan's prior warning, she struggled to suppress the anger welling up within her and managed to force a smile. "Ethan, are you back? Where were you just now? Why were you gone for so long?"Ethan frowned. "Why haven't you left yet?"His intention to drive her away was glaringly obvious.Suzy's expression was nearly unbearable, but she explained with a strained smile, "I accidentally fell asleep in the guest room upstairs just now."However, Ethan showed no interest in her explanation and said ruthlessly, "You can go."Unwilling to back down, Suzy retorted, "Ethan...""I don't like to repeat myself."Suzy dared not disobey his order. She bit her lower lip tightly and glanced at Samantha reluctantly.Samantha curled her lips and smiled, then picked up another dish and offered it to him.Ethan opened his mouth and ate. Suzy felt a pang of distress, her hands clenched into fists, and her well-manicured nails nearly drew blood from her palms.Realizing there was no room for
At Night, PUB.Justin sat drunkenly at his seat, surrounded by a pile of empty wine bottles.Karen quietly sat next to him, caressed his handsome face, and said sadly, "Justin, tell me, how can you see me? Samantha doesn't deserve you; she doesn't deserve your love."The gentle touch made Justin slowly open his eyes.In a daze, Karen's face transformed into Samantha's.He immediately hugged her into his arms, greedily inhaling the fragrance of her body, and begged, "Samantha, I really, really like you. Don't leave me, don't leave me, okay?" At his call, Karen's heart stung, and tears blurred her vision.Her soft hands quietly caressed his back, "I like you too. I will always stay by your side and never leave you..." Justin smiled with satisfaction, held her face, and kissed her lips.The two lips met like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and it was out of control....After Alexander returned home, he immediately contacted Noah."Noah, have the DNA test results come out? Are you and I
After Noah ran back to the room, he locked the door and sent a video call to Alexander on his mobile phone. The video call is picked up in seconds. Alexander smiled with a proud face, puffing out his chest and asking for credit, "How was it? Daddy was very touched when he saw it, right? Is he attracted to my mommy?" Noah was speechless at his confident look. "Tomorrow we will change our identities according to the old method! Those words of love you confessed made my father sick." Alexander looked unbelieving. "How is it possible? That was written by someone else. I think my love letter is very well written!" Noah sighed in his heart, feeling that he had to come to bring his father and Miss Samantha together, so he said firmly, "Tomorrow we will exchange ourselves at the small supermarket in front of the kindergarten. Come here and leave it to me to write the love letter." Although he had never written it. But it is definitely better than what Alexander wrote. Alexander
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
