Rachel was clearly displeased to hear someone speak ill of the man she admired. She pouted and said, "Samantha, don't worry. With a mouth as sharp as yours, Calvin would never like you even if you're drop-dead gorgeous."Rachel was right. Calvin never cared for her.Following Barry's arrangement, Samantha headed to the hillside villa.From a distance, she could see Yvonne hanging decorations. The place buzzed with activity. It was obvious a celebration was underway.Samantha knew it was a party to celebrate Rebecca's discharge from the hospital.What a coincidence.Calvin stood at the entrance of the villa while he greeted guests. When he spotted Samantha, he ignored her outright and continued chatting with the people beside him.Samantha didn't bother with him either. She walked straight toward Barry's house.When she arrived, Barry warmly welcomed her inside."Ms. Granger, thank you so much for coming. My grandmother has been looking forward to a piece composed especially fo

"Mr. Hamley, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."Our relationship is nothing more than an act to appease Grandma. I hope you haven't forgotten that."Her words left Calvin speechless.When did this woman become so ruthless? She severed everything between them completely.Rebecca wasn't his biological child. She was the result of Yvonne being forcibly sent away by Nancy years ago and suffering abuse afterward.All these years, Calvin had believed that Yvonne's misfortune was caused by him and Samantha.In his mind, the true culprit had always been Samantha.If not for her drugging him and destroying his marriage with Yvonne, none of this would have happened.He had never told anyone the truth. It would only hurt Rebecca and Yvonne."Samantha, Rebecca is actually–"But for some reason, he wanted Samantha to feel guilty.Just as the words were about to slip out, a panicked scream was heard."Rebecca! Rebecca, where are you?""Calvin, Rebecca's gone! Oh, my Rebecca!"Y

"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

"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

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
