Chapter 401

Nathaniel gently ran his fingers through Samantha's hair. The elegant hairstyle she had carefully worked on had already come loose as they made love. Her long black hair rolled down like a waterfall, bringing out the cool, fragile beauty in her face as the silky strands twirled around his fingers. Her clear eyes reflected him and only him. Nathaniel's voice was low and hoarse, the kind from after making love, when he clearly said into Samantha's ears, "A few more times." The whole world seemed to shrink to one corner of the couch and the small space within his arms. Their breathing grew uneven. Before long, even their heartbeats seemed to merge. Everything else faded from view until the background blurred and all sounds disappeared. - Much later, Samantha said in a soft, trembling voice, "Honey, I'm cold. Let's go back to the bedroom." The term of endearment, "honey," was so natural that it swept away whatever restraint Nathaniel had left. Impossible tenderness swep

Chapter 402

Finella had already lost her most loyal and capable subordinate after her last failed scheme. Her relationship with Nathaniel was now almost openly hostile. She had long since decided that even if there was no profit to be made, she would undercut the bid and destroy Nathaniel's partnership with the Young family. Gritting her teeth, Finella said to Sydney, "I'll cover half of whatever shortfall remains." Sydney frowned. "But we'll still lose money. We don't want it." Finella laid out the stakes for her. "This is only the beginning. If you secure this order, the Young family may form a long-term partnership with David. You'll earn the money back later, and everyone in the Lane family who doubts him will have to shut their mouths. "You won't lose that much. Establishing his reputation is what matters right now. If you won't take it on a whim, what will the Young family think? Will they include you in any future deals? The important thing is to drive that brat away. You don't wa

Chapter 403

Everything Nathaniel had told Samantha about the order was a lie. Not only did he know why Sydney had managed to take the order from him, but he had also already uncovered the secret behind it. He knew why she had been released and exactly who had helped her. Nathaniel was someone thoughtful and meticulous. At first, he had only suspected the connection. Weston's unusual reaction during their visit to the Young family confirmed what his investigation had found. Whenever Samantha questioned him, he avoided the subject. He even claimed he had found nothing. In truth, there was almost nothing Nathaniel could not uncover once he set his mind to it. He knew that Sydney had stolen Samantha's identity as the McQueen heiress to deceive the Young family into supporting her. She had even used that false identity to obtain the order Hunter was managing. All because Weston was Samantha's biological grandfather. Samantha's father's real name before his marriage was Lucio Solus River. No

Chapter 404

The official raised a glass to Nathaniel, then offered to let him drink juice instead of wine. Nathaniel glanced at the glass of juice. Refusing even that under the circumstances would make him look unbearably arrogant, so he accepted it. "What kind of juice is this?" Nathaniel asked before drinking. Another official at the table replied with an air of mystery, "It's a blend of fruits and vegetables. It's good for your health." Nathaniel raised the glass. "Then I'll use this in place of wine. Thank you for your confidence in me." The official was delighted and patted him on the shoulder. "That's more like it, Mr. McQueen. I hope you'll continue contributing to the local economy." After several glasses, Nathaniel realized something was wrong. He could feel himself getting hotter as unwanted arousal spread through him. He immediately knew the juice had been drugged, but he could not make a scene at the table. He had already consumed three cups, and the effects had likely ac

Chapter 405

Katarina threw her arms around Nathaniel just like how Danielle had taught her. She intended to stir up the passionate desire between them and make herself his woman. As she leaned in to kiss Nahaniel, his hand suddenly flung at her. He slapped her on the face with such force that she fell from the bed and rolled across the floor. Pain tore through her ear, which immediately began to bleed. Her head buzzed, and she could not hear anything for a moment. Katarina held her face. The pain was so intense that her entire face went numb. Tears streamed from her eyes. Katarina had always seen Nathaniel speak gently to Samantha and treat her tenderly, even in front of other people. He had not raised a hand against Samantha, even after learning she might be infertile. Katarina had assumed he would show her the same gentleness. She never expected such brutal violence. No one in her life had ever dared strike her like this. Of course, Nathaniel knew exactly what she intended, and it en

Chapter 406

The glass door suddenly slid open during their struggle. Katarina was overjoyed. She immediately reached for Nathaniel, only for him to seize her wrist with enough force to almost break it. No matter how clouded Nathaniel's mind became, he would never allow Katarina to take advantage of him. His intense disgust for her made him reject her instinctively. Nathaniel opened the hotel room door and threw her out into the corridor directly before slamming the door shut again with a bang. Katarina fell on the floor outside. Her revealing clothes were in shambles, and she had even torn her own stockings. She stared bitterly at the firmly closed door, and she felt her exhilaration vanished. Nathaniel was already affected by the drugs in such a state, yet he still refused to touch her. Was she really that unappealing? Katarina could not understand how she was inferior to a divorced woman like Samantha. She believed she was prettier and younger, with an even better figure. How could N

Chapter 407

Samantha believed Nathaniel treated her too well. He would not have done such a thing. Even so, as her hand held her phone, it would not stop trembling. Samantha remembered how Nathaniel and Katarina had once been engaged. Although he had rejected the arrangement, he had shown no reaction when Katarina humiliated Samantha at the Young residence. Now, he had also lost the Young family's order. Samantha wondered whether he was trying to recover the deal and had chosen this method to do it. Samantha felt like something invisible was tightening around her chest until she could barely breathe. Was it possible that Nathaniel really was cheating? Katarina's family background would certainly benefit his future and support his career far more than Samantha could. The boy Samantha had known in childhood would never have done this. Yet after so many years and so many had happened, Nathaniel had already become a man willing to use any means necessary to win. She no longer knew whethe

Chapter 408

"Is he inside?" Samantha asked Nathaniel's assistant. "I'm going in to find him." But before she could finish, a hand pulled the door open and pulled her into the room. Nathaniel had already lost consciousness while forcing himself to endure the effect of the drug earlier. Through the haze, he heard voices and sensed that Samantha had arrived. He forced himself to his feet and opened the door for her. The moment Nathaniel reached for her, he pulled her into his arms. He managed to regain some of his awareness and asked his assistant, "Has the ambulance arrived downstairs?" Samantha had come filled with anger, but something was clearly wrong with Nathaniel. The mention of an ambulance immediately made her realize something else was going on. If Nathaniel had spent the past hour with Katarina as she claimed, he should not have been in this condition. Samantha began to suspect he had been drugged. Nathaniel's bodyguards had arrived and prepared to help Nathaniel's assistant to

Chapter 409

Samantha slowly reached out to Nathaniel with her hand and caressed his pale cheek. Her fingers moved gently over the unnatural flush that remained. Nathaniel was usually quite forceful when Samantha resisted him. Whenever she took the initiative, however, he would soften into something almost innocent. As soon as Samantha touched Nathaniel, his hard expression softened. He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his cheek against her hand. "Sam, don't torment yourself with these thoughts. I didn't call you immediately because I didn't want you to worry. Instead, I made you stay with me at the hospital this late." He continued nuzzling her palm. When he reached her fingers, he raised his head and gently nibbled them. Perhaps the remaining drug had weakened him, or perhaps the procedure was the one that did it. Either way, Nathaniel clung to Samantha like a large cat. Samantha felt a little better. Then she asked carefully, "Honey, Katarina's clothes were all torn apart. What happened?

Chapter 410

Samantha had inherited dazzling beauty from Evelyn and the cool, noble aura from Yvonne. Danielle had quietly transferred her hatred onto Samantha and wanted to destroy her marriage. Katarina's determination to interfere gave her the perfect opportunity to make her own moves. Samantha studied Nathaniel's bloodshot eyes and could not help but ask, "Does it still hurt?" Nathaniel answered honestly, "Just a little uncomfortable. The effect of the drug spread too quickly, so pumping my stomach didn't help much." Samantha thought for a moment. "Is there anything I can do?" What she meant was that she could prepare a cold compress wherever he felt uncomfortable. Nathaniel instead told his bodyguards to buy him something that would be gentle on his stomach to eat. Samantha did not realize he was sending his bodyguards away on purpose. So, she went into the bathroom to get a towel for the cold compress. Nathaniel locked the hospital room door and followed after her. He placed his
