Katarina's eyes widened at Danielle's guarantee. "How will you help me, Grandma?" Then her expression turned into disappointment. "It's too bad the plan failed." "What failed?" Danielle asked. "The first step." The failed seduction still tormented Katarina. She believed that if she could become intimate with Nathaniel, he would fall in love with her and abandon Samantha. In Katarina's mind, a woman like Samantha could never compare with her. Danielle merely smiled. "Don't worry. There's still the second step. I'll make sure Nathaniel marries you." - The Lane Group headquarters was holding a shareholders' meeting. David sat at the head of the long conference table, with his suit jacket unbuttoned and one leg crossed over the other. An unlit cigar rested between his fingers. He looked around the room and clicked his tongue. "The decor is much more refined than I expected. Replace those paintings later. They're too plain. Put up something brighter and more energetic."

Channing's slap on Sydney's face left her stunned. She stuttered out, "You… You hit me?" "You destroyed my family, then helped destroy my mother's family, and now you stand here gloating…" Channing said. "Do you really don't understand what kind of person you are? What right does someone as shameless as you have to humiliate me? You're the most selfish and dishonorable person I have ever known!" "Who are you to lecture me, Channing?!" Sydney's eyes were filled with hatred. "Everyone has to protect their own interests! Should I have sacrificed myself for you instead?" Channing had no desire to argue with someone whose values were so distorted. So, he said, "Do what you want." He had just wanted to leave, but Sydney rushed forward and grabbed him. "You think you can walk away after hitting me? Security! Kill him! He attacked the wife of your new chairman!" Channing kicked her knee one moment later. Sydney cried out and dropped to the floor on her knees in pain. "It hurts…"

The phone belonged to Katarina, but Samantha immediately recognized the man in the wallpaper. Although the photograph showed the man only from the side, it was unmistakably Nathaniel. His handsome face, defined jaws, high nose, long lashes, perfectly shaped lips, muscular abs and chest, and long fingers were all impossible to confuse with anyone else's. Who else could it be other than Nathaniel? Samantha's heart skipped a beat. Katarina had placed a nude photograph of Nathaniel on her phone as the wallpaper. Had nothing truly happened between them? What did the pregnancy tracker in the center mean? Was Katarina pregnant? Samantha counted the days. It had been approximately twelve days since Nathaniel and Katarina were alone in the hotel room. The earliest pregnancy testing could detect pregnancy through a blood test around seven to ten days after intercourse. What was Katarina trying to imply? Was she suggesting she had been tested within ten days and was already carrying N

Hunter did not know what kind of photographs were being saved in Katarina's phone. He assumed they were just ordinary photographs she took or images downloaded from the internet. Katarina had posted countless photographs of herself online, and Hunter would never demand that everyone who saved Katarina's photographs delete it. So, he defended his sister and said to Samantha, "It looks like you're trying to cross a line here. Whatever photographs Katarina keeps on her phone are harmless. She's young, and she only saved them for fun." Katarina immediately looked smug after hearing her brother's support. Samantha had made a perfectly reasonable demand that Katarina delete private photographs of her husband. Instead, Hunter accused her of being too tyrannical instead. Samantha stood straight and looked at Katarina with a sharp gaze. Katarina probably believed Samantha would never embarrass Nathaniel by revealing the truth in public. Samantha did have to consider the possibilit

Nathaniel lowered his eyes and looked at her, amusement in his eyes. "Don't be so nervous. Am I really that much of a green-eyed monster?" Samantha let out a sigh of relief. Only she knew how jealous Nathaniel could really become, even though he always denied it. Just like how he also denied being petty. "Still, is it not natural for a man with such a beautiful wife to feel jealous?" Nathaniel asked with a smile. "It's your fault for being so beautiful." Samantha's eyes widened. She could not immediately argue with the logic that somehow made it her fault. She considered it for a moment. Ever since she and Nathaniel became intimate, she seemed increasingly interested in styling herself up to look more beautiful. She would look stunning every time despite only using minimal effort. After greeting most of the guests, Channing approached Samantha. She raised her glass to him in congratulations. "Congratulations on starting your own business. How did you suddenly become the CEO o
