Chapter 72
This time. Samantha exerted tremendous force.
So much so that the moment the man named Hugo was slammed against wall and fell to the ground, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
Lying on the ground, clutching his stomach, he whimpered and moaned.
His buddies involuntarily stepped back, wanting to help him
Hot daring to…

They couldn’t control their astonishment and fear, looking at Samantha in disbelief.
There was a thought in their minds: Where did this female demon come from? So ruthless…
At that moment, Samantha smiled, glanced at them, and raised an eyebrow, “Anyone else wants to join in the fun?”
The men shuddered and instinctively shook their heads.
Samantha sneered a wicked smile forming on her lips. “Well, you don’t have a say in it!”
At that moment, tall and well–built men suddenly felt a blur before their eyes as if lightning had passed. Then a heavy force suddenly pressed against their chests as if it would crush their internal organs.
And then, their bodies suddenly became weightless, “bang” and they were slammed to the ground, feeling as if their bones
were about to shatter!
What just happened!
Samantha calmly walked past the sprawled men, heading toward the girl.
She looked down at her like a savior.
Coincidentally, Leila also looked up at her. However, she had a fair complexion, subtly emanating an aloofness and a sense of keeping her distance from strangers,
Leila slowly stood up, her delicate figure as if her waist could be snapped with a flick
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, softly said thank you to Samantha, and then walked away without looking back.
Samantha watched her cold figure and shrugged her lips. She didn’t say much and went back to find her two brats.
Little did Samantha know that Leila, whom she unintentionally saved today, would play a vital role in her future life, even completely changing her life trajectory.
Of course, that was a story for later; for now, let’s not dwell on it
As Samantha returned to her two brats after dealing with the men, she noticed another man by their side.
With a trademark mischievous smile tugging at the comer of his mouth and his deep–set eyes fixed on her, this man spoke in a low, husky voice, saying, “Long time no see, Samantha.”
Samantha furrowed her brow as she looked at him. The next moment, she suddenly recalled that the man standing before her was the man she had encountered at Elise’s banquet, the man she had raised a glass with
But it seemed like she didn’t even know his name.
Samantha tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a trademark smile, and responded, “Long time no see.”

Chapter 22
Isaac and Ryland, who were by Samantha’s side, naturally recognized this man, their faces filled with caution.
They wore expressions of utmost vigilance as if they feared this man would snatch their Samantha away.
Isa glanced at Ryland, and Ryland quickly nodded in agreement
One of them secretly took out his phone and sent a message.

One quietly pulled something out while the other tugged at Samantha’s sleeve and coquettishly said. “Mommy. I want to go home. Let’s go back quickly.”
So Samantha looked at Gideon and said. “We’ll go ahead.”
Gideon touched the emerald ring on his thumb and smiled, saying, “Perfect, we’re going the same way?
Samantha thought. I didn’t mention where we’re going; how does he know if it’s on the way?”
At that moment. Samantha walked in front with her two children while Gideon casually followed beside them.
Since he hadn’t spoken a word all along. Samantha didn’t take much notice of him.
However, this person had the knack of terrifying someone half to death as soon as he uttered a word.
“Samantha, with such a significant change in you, hasn’t anyone suspected anything?” Gideon asked.
Samantha abruptly halted her steps and turned to look at him with squinted eyes.
“Do you know what I was like before?” Samantha asked.
Gideon smiled faintly and replied, “Your information is not difficult to uncover
This time, Samantha laughed and said, “So, you never interacted with the previous version of me.”
Gideon suddenly paused, gazing at the mischievous smile lurking in Samantha’s beautiful eyes. He felt something blossom deep within his heart.
It was as if a thousand–year–old ice had melted away.
His lips curled slightly, his voice deep, and his eyes earnest. “That’s why I fell in love with the person you are now,” he said.
However, before Samantha could snap out of it and respond to such touching words, her two brats were unhappy and started causing a scene directly.
Isaac stared at Gideon coldly, keeping a vigilant eye on him like a wolf.
“Uncle, my Mommy has our love. She doesn’t need your love. Please stay away from our Mommy, Isaac said firmly.
Isaac, who had been awkwardly addressing Samantha as “Ms. Johansson, now couldn’t be bothered with such formalities
anymore.
They called out “Mommy” repeatedly, firmly asserting their authority.
Gideon looked at them with cautious expressions and chuckled.
“In the future, when Samantha and I have children, the two of you will have to keep your distance from us,” Gideon stated.
“That’s too much! Ill beat you up!” Ryland clenched his little fists tightly, ready to charge at Gideon.
“Ryland, a familiar and hoarse male voice called out

Ryland turned around and saw Francis. He was feeling a flutter in his heart. He immediately softened his tone and said, “Daddy! A bad guy is trying to snatch our Mommy!”
“Oh? Who dares to do so?” Francis responded in turn.
Ryland angrily pointed forward with his chubby liule hand and declared, “It’s him! This super big meanie!”
Francis turned around and saw Gideon
Gideon was also watching Francis.
In the air, there seemed to be sparks of friction.
The temperature around them began to rise.
The next second. Francis suddenly smiled with hostility in her eyes.
“Mr. Yule, aren’t you aware that the four of us are now living together?” Francis asked..
Gideon smiled, “So, according to Mr. Francis Curray, being neighbors also counts as cohabitation. I wonder Mr. Francis Gurray, how many cohabitation partners do you have?”
“Pift” Francis sneered, “Mr. Yule, you know how to crack a joke. Now that our family of four is together, don’t you think you’re superfluous?”
“It’s all fair competition. What’s the talk of being superfluous?” Gideon replied.
“Fine, then I’ll wait for you to compete with me on fair terms. Just don’t cry if you lose, Francis responded challengingly.
Gideon smiled and said, “Don’t worry, even if I cry, I won’t give her to you,”
“Perfect, even in death, I’ll take her to hell with me, Francis declared.
Their gazes were still locked, and sparks flew in the air.
Ryland couldn’t bear it any longer and weakly uttered a sentence, “Mr. Gurray, Mommy has already left…”
The two men finally snapped out of it and looked ahead one after the other.
They saw Samantha with her hands in her pockets, a cold and cool figure with impeccably straight legs.
Just by looking at her back, it was captivating.
Francis smiled at Gideon with a smile that held uncertain meaning and then walked away with the two children.
After returning home, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yarris.
Francis texted: [Get me all the information on Gideon.]
Yarris replied: [Sure thing, boss.]
But when did the boss start dealing with Gideon, the head of the underworld gang?” Yarris wondered.
On the other side, Darius spent a lot of money and finally pulled some strings to rescue Elise and Lucille.
However, their return did not bring joy and happiness to the rest of the Johansson family.
Instead, it felt overwhelmingly stifling.

Elise tightly clenched her fingers.
She felt that everything around her had changed.
In the past, the Johansson family greeted him with nothing but love and care.
But now, it was indifference, coldness, and heartlessness.
These were things that used to only appear in Samantha’s presence.
Now, they were all directed at her.

After a long time, Alec said, “Darius, find some time to help Elise handle her transfer procedures and send her abroad to step out of the limelight for a while.”
