Samantha was sleeping comfortably when she suddenly found it hard to breathe. Opening her eyes, she saw that Channing was holding her with both arms and had one leg wrapped around her as he slept deeply. She tried to push his hand away, but it was just too heavy.Samantha stared into the darkness for a moment while her eyes adjusted. She quickly understood what had happened.Channing was probably afraid Octavius would discover that they had slept separately, so he opened her door after she fell asleep and simply slept here with her.At least they hadn't slept in separate rooms, so Sylvester couldn't report it to Octavius.Even if the servants speculated and gossiped about it, they would only think Samantha was being unreasonable while Channing insisted on staying close to her even when he wanted to sleep, so there was no way it was his fault.Samantha tried to lift his hand, but she had underestimated the difference in their strength. She could not move it even though he was mer

The maid who was taking care of Harold approached Samantha and quietly reported that Harold couldn't be found. After asking a few questions, Samantha learned that Sydney had played with him for a bit while Channing was present.Samantha wasn't especially worried. "Then stop looking.""But this is the master's birthday celebration. Master Harold is the first child of the designated Lane heir," said the maid. "The madam will certainly ask for him and expect him to sit beside her. How will we explain his absence?"Samantha sent the maid away anyway. She was about to sit when she saw Sydney walk in holding Harold's hand. Harold held Sydney's hand tightly and hurried to keep up with her quick steps, his face filled with pride and delight.Samantha exchanged a glance with the maid. There he was, wasn't he?However, no one expected Harold to suddenly call out loudly, "Mommy!"Octavius had been chatting with an old friend beside him, but his expression immediately became grave.Ev

Samantha was surprised that Sydney was doing all this. "Didn't you come to see Channing? Why are you offering me wine instead?"Samantha heard that Channing had come back from the hospital, but he needed to rest after losing too much blood. She hadn't paid attention to what Sydney did during this time and didn't care much about it.Sydney's sudden approach made her wary, so she immediately placed the wine on the ledge beside the corner.Sydney set down her own glass and laughed. "No. I'm here to see you. I heard you're heading upstairs, so I followed.""Me?" Samantha asked. "What do you want, Sydney?"Sydney waved a hand. "Sam, are you still angry because Harry called me Mommy and you Aunt Samantha?""No," Samantha answered. "You're his biological mother, after all. I simply hope you'll devote more attention to him in the future. Becoming a mother means making sacrifices. You'll need to stay beside him so he can grow up healthy."Anger and contempt flashed across Sydney's face.

The man was none other than David.David stopped when he saw Sydney. He didn't understand why she was here.After Channing earned Octavius's trust and took control of Lane Group, he refused to give David even a respectable position. David grew to resent him even more, but still knew better than to offend him openly.David decided to understand the situation first. Frowning, he asked, "Why are you here?"After looking at her, he suddenly understood. "Were you drugged?"David had consumed a great deal of alcohol and entered the room to rest because he felt like he was almost drunk. He was already not in full control of himself.The next moment… -When David finally moved away, he was exhausted and thirsty. He picked up the wine on the bedside table and drank it down.Sydney had long since realized the man wasn't Channing and couldn't possibly be him. However, she didn't know David.After a long pause, David finally realized something and asked, "Who are you?"His many yea

Samantha thought about it. She wanted to divorce Channing, so she had already detached herself from the situation and felt nothing about how severely he was punished and how many more strikes he would get.She only wanted divorce.After the punishment ended, Octavius calmed slightly and ran one hand down his chest.Sydney believed the moment had arrived. She quickly said, "Grandpa, you punished and scolded him, but Channing is still your biological grandson, and Harry is still your biological great-grandson..."Octavius's anger immediately returned. "Who said Harold's my biological great-grandson?"Sydney froze, and everyone else was equally stunned.The DNA result clearly showed Harold was Channing's son. Margaret could not help saying, "Octavius, a DNA test cannot be falsified. Besides, did you not test Channing before as well?"When determining the inheritance, Octavius arranged three tests involving David and Channing. That was why Margaret said that.Sydney almost smiled w
