Chapter 71

After listening to what Channing had to say, Samantha could only let out a cold laugh. She could tell that Channing merely wanted her to give up on the issues that mattered to him temporarily. That was why he comforted her and brought up their so-called marital love.For Sydney, however, he had always searched for ways to support her. To help her succeed, he had repeatedly transferred his core assets to her. Why had he never accused Sydney of disregarding their relationship then?Even after Sydney squandered his assets, Channing had no resentment toward her at all. Yet, Samantha was expected to be the fool who cleaned up Sydney's disasters for free. If she was to ask for anything, she would be accused of not having enough love for their relationship.How had she never noticed how manipulative Channing was?Channing heard Samantha's laugh. It sounded like laughter, but as she laughed, tears rolled down her cheeks.Samantha wiped them away and said, "Channing, whatever love exis

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

Sydney was stunned when she heard what Zack called Samantha. She hadn't only taken the position beside Channing overnight, but had also made everyone address her as Mrs. Lane.It drove Sydney into hysteria.She screamed and cried, "I'm not a mistress! I'm not!"Channing was shocked for a moment, then immediately glared at the chattering employees with fury, silently ordering them to shut up. Even though several shareholders had not yet left, he walked to Sydney without hesitation.Sydney threw herself into his arms and sobbed, "Channing, I'm not a mistress. The woman who isn't loved is the real mistress. Samantha's the mistress, isn't she?"Channing nodded. "Yes."Zack stared at him in complete confusion and privately wondered whether Sydney thought there weren't enough issues already. She had already destroyed a public company, and when Channing was questioned, she had been no help at all.And she still wanted to fight over this title at this point in time? Did she really think

Chapter 74

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

"Does your nose still hurt after choking on the water?" Samantha asked.Mia shook her head again.A short time later, Derek finally returned and placed one plate in front of Mia together with a knife and fork. Mia quietly began eating in small bites.Derek looked at Samantha, then said, "She saved you earlier. Say thank you.""Thank you," Mia said timidly.So, Derek had brought his daughter over to thank her. Samantha answered warmly, "You're welcome."However, it was getting awkward as they sat together. So, Samantha asked, "Mia looks almost four feet tall. Is she already seven?""No," Derek answered. "She's only five. Her mother was an athlete and is very tall."Samantha hadn't expected Mia to be the same age as Harold. If she hadn't known that Harold only liked Sydney and not her, she might have had many parenting topics to share. Now, she didn't want to mention that ridiculous child raising experience at all.Samantha wanted to end the conversation, but Derek also seemed

Chapter 76

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

"I never said I would discuss divorce with you. I said we'd wait until after Grandpa's birthday. You have to go. If you don't and Grandpa asks me about you, how am I supposed to explain?"Don't forget that our interests are tied together. If I can't maintain control of the Lane family, how can I help your technology company go public? Since you proposed this cooperation yourself, you need to play your part until the end," Channing said. After listening to Channing, Samantha said, "Fine. I understand."She hung up without waiting another second, then set the phone aside and calmed herself.That night, she slept well.Early the next morning, she said goodbye to Derek. She didn't know or care how Channing and Sydney would continue enjoying themselves.After packing her luggage and walking out into the hotel corridor, Samantha saw Mia playing alone in the lobby.Since she was leaving, Samantha decided to say goodbye to Mia. However, Mia opened her arms toward her instead. "Please

Chapter 78

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

Chapter 79

Samantha felt somewhat bitter at Margaret's accusation. She had never wanted to come in the first place. Channing had called her over only to satisfy the two elders, yet it still became this awkward.Samantha asked, "Grandma, aren't you making too much of this? How does Channing coming separately from me affect you?"Margaret looked at Samantha with deep disappointment. She remembered the woman's voice on the phone. As someone who had lived for nearly eighty years, how could she not understand what it meant?David's countless scandals made the situation even clearer.Margaret stared at Samantha, somewhat lost in thought. "You've been married into the Lane family for five years, but you still can't keep a man at home. Did the miscarriage ruin your body? You haven't borne any children in five years. What use are you? Can't you learn how to keep him around?"If necessary, there's modern medicine, right? Just because you don't have a child doesn't mean you can ignore it. You should

Chapter 80

"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
