Chapter 14
Samantha was sitting aside with a lollipop in her mouth and an apple in her hand, observing the family funnily..
It had to be said that there was an abundance of dramas unfolding for everyone.
Alec had always been concerned about face–saving and always prioritized maintaining the reputation and interests of the Johansson family over personal relationships. He believed that anyone who brought embarrassment or harm to the family’s interests should be treated as an enemy. This was evident in his treatment of “Samantha, whom he had unhesitatingly kicked out of the house six years ago. In the following years, he had never inquired about her or shown any concern, as if he no longer had a granddaughter named Samantha
Terence, Priscilla, and Charlie, belonging to the first branch of the family, were known for their cunning and scheming nature. They possessed a skill for delivering deadly blows through their words, carefully calculated to achieve their desired outcomes. Terence, in particular, had inherited his grandfather’s penchar for prioritizing the reputation and interests of the Johansson family above everything else. This included his own niece, as well as his wife and son.
Meanwhile, Julian, Irene, and Xavion from the second branch of the family were known for their short tempers. Julian was very expressive of her emotions. While she may not harbor ill intentions during ordinary times, she remained a loyal supporter of Alec and worked diligently to strengthen the Johansson family, Irene, on the other hand, had a tendency to sow discord and create conflicts among family members. Because Julian and Xavion were not of a scheming nature, and Xavion didn’t care about the family assets, Irene stood out as the sole manipulative individual within the second branch of the family. However, this role seemed to take a toll on her, as evident from the amount of hair fall she experienced,
On the other hand, the members of the third branch of the family, namely Darius, Lucille, and Elise, didn’t require rouch explanation. Darius was easily manipulated by Lucille. Although Samantha was his first daughter, he treated her like an enemy and never showed her any kindness. Lucille and Elise were two hypocrites. They enjoyed putting up a facade of being good–natured individuals in front of others but would betray and backstab when it suited their own interests. After all, coming from a smaller family, they were desperate to maintain their position within the Johansson family.
Samantha used to be an orphan, hence she had never experienced this kind of family drama before. She never thought that the struggle among rich and powerful aristocrats was so interesting.
She caressed her chin and thought, “How about I do something to make them fight inside?
The first branch of the family valued their interests, so she would directly rob them.
The third branch of the family seemed to love each other a lot, so she would make them see each other’s selfishness clearly.
Alec valued the Johansson family so much, then she would put them on the verge of bankruptcy.
She wondered if the stimulation would be too much for Alec to bear.
Samantha couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of this.
Darius grew angry as he noticed that Samantha did not respond to Lucille’s question, choosing instead to play with the fruits and laugh.
“Samantha! Are you listening to Lucille?”
Startled by Darius‘ sudden roar, Samantha instinctively threw the apple she was holding toward him.
With a loud thud, Darius collapsed unconscious as the large, hard apple struck his head.
Samantha was speechless as she thought, “What a wuss.”
Ryland was speechless as he thought, “He can’t even stand an apple?”

Xavion was speechless as he thought, “Samantha is amazing! I have to call her Queen Sarmantha from now on.”
“Ah!” Lucille screamed, kept shaking Darius, and said anxiously. Riust Rius!”
Elise’s eyes suddenly turned red. “Samanthal What have you done? Regardless of your grievances with Dad or your own reluctance to go to high school, you shouldn’t be so heartless! Look at what you’ve done to him. He’s been struggling with his health lately, and he can’t endure such a shock!”
These words pushed Samantha to the forefront again.
Obviously, the favorable impression Alec had for her moments go had now disappeared.
However, Samantha didn’t care about it.
“Pretending to be two–faced doesn’t require much effort, does it she thought.
Actually, Samantha’s acting skills were once favored by a famous director and she was asked to be the heroine of an internationally invested film.
But she refused the offer.
She pondered. “It’s merely a matter of acting skills. I’ll show her that I can outshine her as a successful two–faced individual.”
The next second, Samantha’s eyes turned red and tears ran down.
She appeared helpless, her hands twisting nervously in front of her, and her beautiful eyes held an innocent gaze.
Her voice was even softer and more aggrieved. “L. I didn’t mean to. I was thinking about how to study hard and set a good example for Ryland, so I didn’t answer Mrs. Johansson’s question in time. When I was about to answer, I was startled by my father’s sudden violent shout and smashed the plate out of my hand without noticing it. I really didn’t mean it.”
While saying that, she looked more aggrieved and burst into tears.
Xavion couldn’t help but think, I admire her so much. Her acting is emotionally infectious, even making me want to cry.” Ryland was speechless again as he thought, “Should I get a notebook to record Mommy’s classic words?” Lucille was speechless. She thought, “Darius has been knocked out I don’t believe you didn’t do this on purpose.”
The more Samantha spoke, the more she emphasized her sense of injustice, “Grandpa, you don’t understand. When Ryland and I were living in the countryside, it was often dangerous, and I was constantly afraid of thieves or wild animals at night. To protect Ryland, I developed this habit. If I sense any danger around me, my instinct is to throw objects without even realizing it. Everything I do is for the sake of Ryland’s safety. Today, I didn’t mean to intentionally throw the apple at Dad.” Samantha’s words softened Alec’s heart. He looked at Ryland with pity in his eyes.
He thought, ‘How much bitterness has this child suffered in the past five years! There were thefts and beast attacks.
It was not easy for him to grow up until this age safely.

It seems that Samantha does deserve some credit for it
“Forget it,” Alec waved his hand dismissively and said, “Samantha didn’t intend to do that. Let’s all just forget about it. First, help Darius to rest in his room, and then call Dr. Yearwood to come and take a look. I don’t think it’s anything serious. Let’s not make a big fuss out of it
After saying that, he directly went back to his room regardless of everyone’s expression.
Everyone was speechless.

Xavion exclaimed inwardly. After knocking out her own father, he could escape unscathed! Grandpa even feels more sorry for her. What kind of power is this? She is no doubt, Queen Samantha”
Ryland though, “Why didn’t I know when there were thieves and beasts?
Elise’s anger was so intense that she twisted her clothes forcefully, nearly shredding the hem. She stared at Samantha with unmasked resentment.
“How could this be possible? How could Grandpa be easily fooled by her after a few words? If it goes on like this, no one can stop her!” Elise thought.
Lucille was worried about Darius at this time. She glared at Samantha and took Darius back to the room.
Elise had to follow Lucille reluctantly.
Charlie glanced at Samantha and left without saying anything.
After all, he just came to see the bustling scene. When it ended, he had to go back to his room and work overtime.
Julian, the uncouth fellow, was obviously fooled by Samantha’s words as he said to her gently, “Samantha, you’ve suffered a lot these years.
Then he strode away.
Samantha was speechless and thought, “Uncle Julian does look a bit unwise.”
