Author: Soda Lover
Calvin picked up his coat and stood up. He glanced at Yvonne before heading out.

"I'm going out for a while. Take good care of Rebecca."

Yvonne looked at her daughter's innocent, trusting face, and a thought suddenly came to her. She crouched down and gently placed her hands on Rebecca's shoulders.

"Rebecca, Ms. Samantha and her daughter Celine also need Daddy's love. Daddy could have stayed here, happily playing with you and telling you stories, but now he has to go see them. He can't stay with you all the time."

She paused deliberately before continuing. "Rebecca, don't always cling to Daddy, alright?"

Rebecca pouted in frustration at her mother's words. "Mommy, I don't want him to be taken away by her."

Yvonne held Rebecca close and patted her back gently. "My sweet girl, if you don't want Daddy to be taken away, you have to work hard to keep him. Otherwise, Ms. Samantha might take him, and he might never come back."

Rebecca's body trembled. Tears pooled in her eyes at the th

    Two days later, Steven idly toyed with his phone. He felt the timing was right.He retrieved a phone he had never used before and smiled playfully before sending Calvin a message.[Calvin, Samantha is at Steven's place.]After sending it, he glanced at Samantha, who was still sound asleep. He then sat back in his chair with amusement written all over his face.He was waiting for the drama to unfold.Meanwhile, Calvin was standing by Rebecca's hospital bed when his phone suddenly buzzed.Seeing a message from an unknown number, he paused for a moment. His expression soon darkened with fury.Samantha was with Steven?They were definitely working together. They must have conspired to kidnap Rebecca.Calvin grew furious. He stood up and kicked over a nearby stool.He knew it. This woman, who had insisted on divorce, had already been having an affair.Now, she was teaming up with her lover to try to kill his daughter.As if that weren't enough, she had the nerve to play the vict

    Calvin's gaze immediately turned cold again.Samantha was so ruthless. She was going to beat Rebecca to death."Calvin, I know Samantha hates me and Rebecca. She thinks Rebecca has taken your love away from Celine."But for her to treat Rebecca so cruelly, we really can't afford to get close to you. The consequences would be unbearable."Yvonne clutched Calvin's leg and sobbed.Calvin slowly kneeled down to lift her up."This isn't your fault. Samantha's the evil one. She did this to Rebecca!"Calvin clenched his jaw and cursed under his breath.He turned to his men and asked coldly, "Where is Samantha now?"A subordinate lowered his head cautiously."Mr. Hamley, Ms. Granger went missing. The scene was chaotic, and by the time we reacted, we couldn't find any trace of her.""Missing?"Calvin furrowed his brows. She had been so badly injured. How could she just vanish like that?Her frail body wouldn't have lasted long if left untreated. Samantha was ruthless even to hersel

    "Thank you so much for helping me, but I really want to go home. I know how serious my injuries are."Steven, however, didn't think she truly understood her condition.He knew exactly how his men had treated her. There had been no holding back.If he had hesitated any longer in giving the order, Samantha might have been beaten to death.He simply couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman killed.Steven smiled and moved closer to Samantha, closing the distance between them.They could almost feel each other's breath.Samantha instinctively wanted to pull away, but her battered body wouldn't let her move.Steven said softly, "Ms. Granger, you'd better behave. As long as you stay here and let yourself heal, I promise nothing will happen to you–"His tone carried a teasing edge. "But if you insist on leaving, well, I can't promise nothing will happen to you."Samantha felt helpless. She didn't have the energy to argue with Steven.Besides, she was exhausted and in pain.She c

    "If the plan failed, then it failed. We'll just think of another way. Besides, Samantha isn't exactly a threat. Dead or alive, she can't really stir up trouble. So stop getting so worked up. Don't ruin your health over this."Yvonne was so furious she nearly crushed her phone. "Steven, listen to me! If you sabotage my plan again, there'll be hell to pay!"She hung up and tossed her phone onto the sofa.Steven, however, didn't seem the least bit concerned. He flicked his lighter aside, stretched lazily, and muttered to himself, "Women are always so troublesome."He smirked and shifted his gaze to the bedroom.When Samantha woke, she realized she was lying on a soft, large bed.'Where is this place?' She tried to sit up, but the pain from her injuries made it impossible.Just then, someone opened the door gently.Steven was still in his suit with hair neatly combed. He had a playful grin on his face.He even held a glass of warm water in his hand.Samantha froze when she saw hi

    Amidst the blurry chaos, Samantha seemed to hear those men suddenly shouting."Ms. Granger, Mr. Hamley will be here any minute. Is this enough? We really can't bear to hit you anymore. He'll definitely feel sorry for you when he sees this." What did that have to do with her?Wasn't the police supposed to come? Why was Calvin coming instead?Didn't he say he didn't believe her?The pain coursing through her body dulled her thoughts. Before she could make sense of what was happening, hurried footsteps echoed nearby.Calvin kicked the iron door open. The moment he saw Rebecca, battered and bruised, his eyes turned bloodshot.He had heard every word those men said to Samantha just now.If he hadn't arrived in time to hear it himself, he really might have believed her act. After all, she was curled up on the ground too, looking like she was in so much pain she could barely breathe.What convincing acting.To him, that earlier sentence was ironclad proof that Samantha had staged eve

    "Stop wasting time! Let's split up and look for Rebecca."Steven and Yvonne exchanged a knowing glance.On the surface, they seemed to casually choose a direction, but in reality, everything had already been planned.In the villa's garden, the clues they had planted were a trap specifically meant for Samantha.Only she would take the bait.Unfortunately, Calvin was heading toward the garden too.Yvonne, who stuck to the plan, suddenly swayed and closed her eyes.She collapsed to the ground."Yvonne!"Steven reacted instantly by catching her and shouting, "Calvin, Yvonne's fainted!"Calvin's expression darkened immediately as he rushed to her side."Quick, Barry, come check on Yvonne!"Barry was nearby. He knelt down and examined her.It turned out she was fine. She had just fainted from being too worried.Meanwhile, Samantha had reached the garden and spotted a glaring piece of paper on a stone.It was a note.[Only one person may come, or Rebecca dies!]Sure enough, R
