Author: The Stranded Fish
Channing stood up and walked to Samantha's side.

"You said someone almost assaulted you yesterday? What happened?"

His expression was dark, so dark it looked like a storm was about to break. Even if he didn't care about Samantha, he couldn't accept another man touching his woman.

That was a man's most basic dignity.

"What? You didn't know?"

Samantha lowered her eyes slightly and told him the truth.

"Last night, I went back to my apartment. In the middle of the night, someone picked the

  • The Choices We Made   Chapter 30

    When Samantha was in college, Evan had strongly recommended that she study at his alma mater, Vulcan University Institute of Technology.It was an opportunity countless students at her college desperately wanted but could never attain. Samantha worked hard to learn Rothian, but after she received the offer, someone anonymously reported that she and Evan were having an affair.Although Evan told her not to worry and said she should go abroad while he handled the rest, Samantha still gave it up because she was worried it would affect his promotion.After that setback, Evan admired her even more. At the time, the national policy was encouraging cooperation between universities and industry to turn research into real products, so he got the university's approval and started a company with a few students.Samantha had withdrawn from it for Channing, but Evan had kept her shares for her. He had said that if she ever wanted to come back, she would always be welcome.All these years, Sa

    After Samantha agreed to accompany Tina to visit Elizabeth's grave, they set a time and headed out.Elizabeth was buried in a cemetery in Suthill, to the south of the city. By afternoon, both of them had already arrived at the entrance.Tina held a bouquet of pink Cosmos, Elizabeth's favorite flowers when she was alive, and gently placed them in front of Elizabeth's tombstone.Then they both noticed something.It seemed someone had just come to pay their respects. They had missed the person by less than half an hour, because the flowers laid in front of the tombstone were still very fresh.Samantha realized something and immediately turned to chase after the person. She had never told Tina about Elizabeth's last words before she died. Elizabeth had said there was something unusual about Samantha's origin.Now that Elizabeth had passed away, the person who would come here was definitely not Channing who was spending his time dating Sydney. Apart from Samantha, Elizabeth had no oth

    Samantha's voice was hoarse when she spoke to Channing. "You want me to lie to Octavius and say the woman in the photo is me?"Channing's tone was calm and rational. "I really can't think of a better way. Not only do you need to tell my grandfather that, but you also need to clarify it for the media. That way, the backlash will calm quickly. The benefits outweigh the harm for Lane Group and everyone involved."Everyone involved?Samantha's fingers tightened without her noticing. What mattered most was still Sydney, wasn't it? Just as Channing had said, he would protect Sydney at all times, for the rest of his life.If this stalemate continued, Octavius would probably find out very soon that the woman who had dragged Lane Group's CEO into a scandal was none other than Sydney. Back then, he had firmly opposed Channing marrying Sydney. If he found out, he would definitely send Sydney away.That was why Channing was so nervous."Fine." Samantha smiled, tears falling nonstop. "I

    Samantha picked up Channing's call.Channing asked, "Have you seen what's going around online?"His tone was icy, carrying some dark, unreadable emotion. Samantha didn't know what he meant and said nothingChanning continued, "It isn't what they wrote. I can explain."Samantha's heart sank. Wasn't it too late to think of explaining now?She smiled bitterly. "Explain what?""Sydney and I aren't in the kind of relationship you think," Channing suddenly said."Right," she answered calmly without thinking. "I believe you."Channing had always known Samantha was someone meek, but this time, his heart sank for no reason.He had imagined Samantha becoming hysterical, like when she first learned the truth about Harold. He had also imagined her becoming accusatory, like after he failed to see her grandmother one last time.But this time, Samantha was unmoved. No matter how patient a woman was, she couldn't possibly tolerate her husband kissing another woman in a bar. Yet Samantha

    When Samantha heard Hailey mention a Mr. Lane, she turned to look.In the middle of the booth was Channing's handsome face. He was easy to recognize under the shifting bar lights. He stood out from the crowd, elegant and refined. In his arms was a beautiful, striking woman in a red dress.The man who had always been calm and restrained now had eyes full of indulgence and tenderness.Tina followed Samantha's gaze. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes. "Is that woman Channing's childhood sweetheart?""Yes." Samantha drained the wine in her glass. It tasted bitter.Tina looked stunned. "Even if you two are getting divorced, isn't there still a one-month waiting period? And they're hugging each other openly already?"Samantha didn't speak.Sydney suddenly pushed herself up and leaned toward Channing, kissing him. He instinctively lowered his head to kiss her back and wrapped an arm around her waist. What a perfect pair of childhood sweethearts."Wow!""No

  • The Choices We Made   Chapter 25

    Samantha suddenly remembered that over the past few years, Channing had often used business as an excuse to travel overseas. Although she was only an engineer, she still knew enough to know Lane Group had no business ties in the country he kept visiting.However, there were several women's colleges there. Sydney had said she had spent the past few years studying abroad. Only then did Samantha finally understand what Channing had been doing there.Channing frowned. Samantha's answer was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't stop himself from asking her about it. "Then what do you want? Don't think you're really that important. I was kind enough to offer you a trip. Didn't you used to make a fuss about wanting to go? You even made a travel plan more than thirty pages long, but now you don't want to go anymore? I can't be bothered to take you anyway, so don't regret it."Samantha's expression was calm. "I won't regret it. What I want is on the desk at home. Channing, can you pro
