A Woman Scorned Came to Light

But Samson's promises were made to be broken. Here today, gone tomorrow.My mom slapped Samson across the face several times in front of everyone. He didn't say a word, but there was no hiding the resentment in his eyes.My mother-in-law, Marie, who had been silent the whole time, forced an awkward smile. She walked up, pushed Samson aside, and grabbed my hand tightly. "Kelda, it's true that Samson has let you down. I brought in one of his distant cousins to help take care of you, but… I didn't expect the two of them to cross the line. But the baby is innocent. I know you won't make things difficult for the baby because you have such a kind heart, right?"Ha!After the Foster family scandal was exposed, Marie was bedridden for more than half a year.I had taken the initiative to share a bedroom with her. I would get up to check if she was feeling sick if there was any noise at night. I massaged her legs for three hours every day, applying a warm compress to her stomach for half

I fiddled with the ivory bangle on my wrist, my smile growing more and more pleasant as I said to Marie, "Back then, wasn't it Samson's father who fooled you like a child, until you grudgingly agreed to accept those three illegitimate children?"The smile vanished from Marie's face. When she saw I was about to leave, she suddenly dropped to her knees right in front of me and clung to my legs, refusing to let go. "I'm begging you! You can't have children anymore, anyway. If you keep this boy by your side, at least you'll get to experience being a mother!"But Marie wasn't really begging me. For all those socialites at the top, reputation was everything. No matter how rotten things got behind closed doors, they always kept up the most basic of appearances. If this scandal didn't subside, Marie wouldn't even be able to get a seat at the table in our circle.Besides, even if the Fosters had the best legal team in the business, the Shaw family wasn't exactly a pushover either.There w

Suddenly, there was the sound of a baby crying.Jessica walked out holding the baby in her arms, looking smug as she patted the baby. Gone was the timid, soft-spoken helper she used to pretend to be in my home. Now, replacing her timidity was pure arrogance as she was giddy with her newfound status."Tsk! These days, even someone who's barren can make such a huge commotion. Samson is one of the most powerful men in Oceanton. If I were you, I would just stay home and stop making a fool of myself. Oh, by the way…"Jessica froze mid-sentence as she suddenly backed away in shock. Some of the queasier ones in the crowd shrieked and covered their faces, unable to look. Samson's face went ghostly pale, and he gripped his assistant's arm for dear life.Everyone watched as the men of the Shaw family dragged over several blood-soaked men. They were covered with injuries; their limbs barely hung on, dangling like rag dolls. One man's eyes were completely gone, leaving two horrific, blood

I suddenly remembered. When I first caught Samson cheating, he had the exact same look on his face.Ha. All men were cut from the same mold.I leaned back, completely at ease and not saying a word. I was simply gazing out the window lazily.It wasn't until the people on their knees were trembling from exhaustion and soaked in cold sweat that I finally spoke, slow and unhurried. "What I do doesn't matter. What matters is what you do."I lifted my chin, signaling for the bodyguards to let Samson go. The crowd pounced at him like starving wolves, immediately grabbing Samson as he tried to escape from the chaos. He was once again pinned to the floor under their feet in no time.His face twisted in terror as he struggled desperately. "Have you all gone crazy?! Look at me! Are you really willing to give up all the Foster Group projects?"But Samson's threats only made them hit harder. They spat in his face and rained punches down on him."You piece of trash! We thought a billionaire

A sneer crept onto my lips.So… She did remember all the kindness I had shown her.But when people who were rotten to the core received any kindness, they would never think about paying it back. All they could think of was to try to take even more.It wasn't like I hadn't noticed something was off between Samson and Jessica.My pajamas, expensive dresses, and custom jewelry kept disappearing from my bedroom, only to show up later in Jessica's social media posts.When I asked her about it, Jessica just claimed that she liked the style and bought some imitations.But no imitations could have that same shine or quality. Still, since she was Samson's cousin, I didn't want to make a fuss, so I quietly asked Marie to remind her not to go overboard.But Marie simply said that since I had grown up surrounded by extravagance, I was probably bored with them anyway. If I wanted more, I could easily buy an entire box worth of luxury goods. Jessica, on the other hand, had grown up poor and n
