Seeing him, Karen's whole body's hair stood on end, she looked at Justin warily, and unconsciously moved back.
“It's so late... why are you here?”
Justin sat down by the bed, placed the hot milk he was holding on the bedside table, and gently held Karen's hand.
"I wanted to come and see you and our child."
Karen was stunned, looking at him with surprise, for a moment not reacting.
Justin softly said, "You can rest assured, if the paternity test shows that the child in your belly is mine, I will take responsibility! I was too impulsive before, and I apologize for my words and actions."
His change in attitude left Karen incredulously wide-eyed.
"You will really take responsibility?"
Justin nodded solemnly, "If it's really my child, I will take responsibility! I know you have liked me for a long time! I hope
Alexander frowned and asked with displeasure, "Charlotte, who is he?"Charlotte didn't feel the strange atmosphere between them at all and excitedly introduced, "Let me introduce you. He's Elliot James, my classmate."Then, Charlotte introduced Elliot, "Elli, they are my brothers. The eldest is Alexander Miller, you can call him Alexander. The second brother is Noah Steele."Elliot looked at the two who looked exactly the same but had different last names."Alexander Miller? Same last name as you?" he asked with a meaningful tone.Charlotte nodded vigorously, "Yes, he's my brother! Of course, we have the same last name!"Elliot asked with deep meaning, "Are you related by blood?"This question deeply hurt Alexander and Noah.Alexander walked over, angrily separated their tightly held hands, and pulled Charlotte behind him, "Whether she and I have a blood relationship or not is none of your business. I'm asking you, why are you here? It's seven o'clock now, shouldn't you be at your ow
Seeing no response, the person outside stopped ringing the doorbell and started banging on the door forcefully.With such a temper, Samantha already guessed the identity of the person outside. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and walked over to open the door.As expected, Ethan stood at the doorway with a gloomy face, surrounded by an aura of frost as if she owed him money."The door is broken, and you'll have to pay for it!" Samantha said without any patience.Ethan gave her a cold glance, then walked into the house and looked around.Seeing him, Charlotte instinctively hid behind Elliot, her small body trembling in fear.Elliot comfortingly patted her hand, which tightly grasped his sleeve, while glaring at Ethan with anger.Charlotte was so good.So lovely.The fact that she was afraid of him indicated how terrifying he must be.And how bad he must treat her normally.Any man who wasn't good to Charlotte
Karen drank the milk brought by the servant, caressing her still-flat abdomen, her face filled with satisfaction and anticipation.Soon, as long as the child in her belly was confirmed to be from the Fletcher family, she could rightfully marry Justin. That would be wonderful!This child came at just the right time.She could finally completely rid herself of poverty and successfully marry into a wealthy family as the young mistress.Just then, Mrs. Fletcher walked in.Seeing her about to get up to greet her, Mrs. Fletcher immediately walked over and pressed her back onto the bed."Rest well. The first three months are the most crucial. Be careful to avoid harming the child," Mrs. Fletcher said gently.It was the first time that Karen felt the care from her future mother-in-law, and she felt very pleased.Indeed.Being pregnant was different.The child would be valued by the family.Mrs. Fletcher sat by the
Ellena called Samantha immediately after leaving the Emperor Group to share the good news with her.Upon hearing the news, Samantha was stunned. "Are you serious?" she asked.Excitedly, Ellena replied, "Of course! He gave me the documents! Are you at the company right now? I'll bring them to you.""Yes! I'm at the company," Samantha responded.After hanging up the phone, Ellena drove to the Sky Group.When Samantha saw the documents handed over by Ellena, her heart couldn't stop trembling with excitement. "It's really happening," she exclaimed, hugging Ellena tightly and kissing her face repeatedly. "Ellena, thank you so much! I'm really grateful to you!"She hadn't expected Ellena to surprise her with such a big opportunity. She thought it would take some time and effort to secure cooperation with the Emperor Group. But it happened much sooner than she anticipated. Although the outcome was still uncertain, at least she had taken an importan
Chelsea Creek.Alexander and Noah walked into the house with their backpacks on, feeling gloomy.Suzy kept whispering bad things about Samantha in their ears. "It's understandable, after all, she's not your biological mother. It's normal for her to be tired of you, not to like you. You don't need to take it to heart. She has her own life, and you have yours. No matter what, I, your biological mother, will always stand behind you, always love you, and treat you well."Unable to bear her incessant chatter, Alexander finally snapped impatiently, "Are you done yet? Even if mommy doesn't like me, I'll always love her. I'll never accept you as my mother! I hate you, I'm sick of you. Don't ever appear in front of me again, or I won't be polite to you."With that, he took off his backpack and threw it at her.Suzy couldn't dodge it in time and was hit in the abdomen by the backpack.She winced in pain.Seeing her hurt, Alexander finally felt
After returning to the car, Suzy vented all her anger on the documents, fiercely throwing them into the backseat.She was still unsatisfied.She pounded the steering wheel with angry hands.Samantha.It was Samantha again!What charm did Samantha possess that made Justin want to marry her, and even made Ethan, despite being engaged, unable to forget her and constantly seek her out?Why hadn't she been arrested yet?With these thoughts in mind, she immediately opened her phone, intending to search for any news about the murder case.However, the result showed nothing, everything was calm and there was no news at all.What was going on?Could it be that Rex's body hadn't been discovered yet?With the current hot weather, it shouldn't take long for the body to be found.When that happened, it would trace back to Samantha.With these thoughts in mind, her restless mood inexplicably eased, and she
Karen lay on the emergency bed, her bloodstained hands tightly gripping Mrs. Fletcher's hand, tears streaming down her face. "Auntie, my child, you must make sure the doctor saves my child... He can't have any problems..."Mrs. Fletcher comforted her, patting her hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'll find the best doctor, and we will definitely save this child."Karen's abdomen twisted in pain, and her tears flowed even more violently.Suddenly, she had a ominous premonition.It felt like this child was going to leave her forever."Justin, Justin..."Mrs. Fletcher hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll call him right now and ask him to come over immediately. Your child will be fine.""He must come, he must come..." Karen's voice grew fainter and fainter.And then it disappeared completely into the operating room.Mrs. Fletcher trembled violently, unable to shake the image of Karen's river of blood from her min
Justin placed the last two pieces of luggage into the car and prepared to go upstairs to pick up Samantha and Grandpa Miller. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the elevator, he encountered Karen. Karen lay on the hospital bed, her face devoid of color, looking extremely haggard, her eyes devoid of any light. He just glanced at her lightly, then quickly shifted his gaze away. In the instant Karen saw Justin, she seemed to see a ray of light, eagerly grabbing his sleeve and choking, "Justin, you're back?" Justin disdainfully pulled away his sleeve, not responding. Karen's heart shattered, choking, "Justin, are you blaming me for not protecting our child? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..." Justin frowned impatiently, moving slightly away from her, trying to create as much distance as possible. Karen's tears fell even more heavily. "Justin..." Seeing this, the nurse couldn't bear it anymore and advised
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
