The document contained no explanation of Lane Technology's bankruptcy. Instead, it contained only a financing plan for Photon Technology. Photon's controlling shareholder was listed as his wife, Samantha.The minority shareholders had previously heard that Channing's wife was Sydney, so when the document suddenly revealed that his wife was someone else, they were very surprised. It turned out his wife was Samantha and not Sydney, unlike the rumors in the company.Channing's wife had control of a technology company, and that company had already partnered with Lane Group in preparation to go public.The company's revenue report was astonishing. Revenue had increased one hundredfold in just a few months. The plan projected that once the financing announcement was released, Photon Technology's influence would increase Lane Group's market value by roughly a billion dollars.It was like gaining a powerful new source of revenue in a short period. Although Lane Group's total profit was e

It was at this moment when the resort's owner, Derek Jackson, hurried over. "I'm sorry, Channing. This was my oversight. Your room with Sydney is on the other side."Samantha immediately understood something. Derek wasn't a local and had only recently entered the city's wealthy and powerful social circles.Because he had warmly invited everyone involved in the partnership, he had instinctively assumed Channing and his wife Samantha would arrive together, so he arranged the best room for them. He hadn't expected Channing to arrive without Samantha and with another woman at his side.That didn't match the public press release he read online.He had brought his mistress to a hot spring resort in front of his lawful wife… Even someone like Derek who had spent years meeting influential people in every field had rarely seen anything so dramatic.Samantha reacted first. "Give it to them. Derek, please take me to the other side."Only after Samantha left did Channing react. He hadn't bee

Derek nodded at Channing's question. "If you don't mind."Derek didn't hide it. Although they had only spent a brief time together, he was certain that Samantha was a very good woman.She was beautiful, kind, and capable. Derek truly didn't understand why Channing failed to treasure such a wife. Since Channing didn't treasure her, he felt there was no reason he couldn't try to win over such a good woman.If Samantha would really marry him, there could be no better outcome than that.Samantha was the major shareholder of such a promising technology company. Once it went public, her net worth would easily exceed tens of billions.Channing's expression suddenly darkened. He hadn't expected Derek to be serious. Derek wanted to pursue Samantha, too?Channing knew very well that Evan was far beneath him in wealth and social position. He came from a powerful family, while Evan was at most from a household with an academic background. During college, Evan had risked ruining his reputat

Samantha had once desperately wanted a blue diamond. After watching "Titanic," she believed blue diamonds symbolized eternal love.The earrings she had wanted Channing to give her before were also made from blue diamonds, but he refused to give them to her and instead bought them for Sydney at the auction.Only then did Samantha understand that in Channing's eyes, she wasn't worthy of them.Samantha gently picked up the necklace with her fingers. This necklace… She no longer needed to cling to the things Channing had refused to give her.Because she needed to return to the Lane family estate, the driver called her at four that day.When Samantha walked out of Photon, the Lane family's Rolls-Royce was already waiting at the entrance. She opened the rear door and got in, and the driver drove away.By the time they reached the family estate, the sky was already completely dark.The birthday party wouldn't begin until the next day. That evening, apart from the servants, only Octaviu

"You... How dare you?!" Margaret almost jumped, wanting to teach Samantha a lesson. Suddenly, the old butler, Sylvester's footsteps sounded from behind.Margaret stepped back a few steps. She knew that if the quarrel grew and Octavius learned about it, things would get out of hand quickly. The Lane family's fortune couldn't be placed in the hands of a descendant whose affair created such serious risk.In his lifetime, Octavius had only married Margaret. It wasn't because he loved her so deeply, but because he knew that building a family and a career required discipline. If a man spent too much attention on women, the attention he could give to his career would shrink, and he would never accomplish great things.If a man had a family and he went out and had affairs or kept mistresses, the household would eventually stop being a home. Everything would become chaotic, and that man would also lack the focus to maintain and grow his business.That was why Octavius despised David's c
