Chapter 5
In the evening, the Johansson family had dinner together.
Samantha looked at herself in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror had delicate eyebrows, doe eyes, a small and straight nose, and rosy lips.
On Samantha’s palm–sized face, her skin appeared fair and smooth, exhibiting a flawless complexion. The positioning of her nose, mouth, eyes, and eyebrows was perfectly balanced and harmonious.
The combination of her facial features enhanced her overall attractiveness.
The beauty mark in the corner of her left eye almost exuded a coquettish aura.
She curved her lips into a captivating smile, accentuating her unparalleled beauty.
Despite feeling a slight disdain for her frail physique, she couldn’t deny that her face looked good, it was reminiscent of her former face. Upon closer inspection, she noticed certain resemblances, including the identical placement of the distinctive beauty mark.
Even a fussy woman like Samantha could not make any complaints.
Now, she finally knew why the woman named Elise looked at her with a trace of jealousy.
-She was jealous of her beauty.
“This is really interesting Samantha thought.
Samantha gracefully tossed her black hair behind her back and descended the stairs with an enchanting stride.
Ryland followed behind Samantha and couldn’t help but wonder if his mother had ever gone out like this, would she have attracted a multitude of potential stepfathers for him?
It was terrible to think about it.
At this moment, downstairs, Ryland’s baby chair was placed on Alec’s right side, replacing the spot that used to belong to Julian. It could be seen that Alec valued his only great–grandson a lot.
Meanwhile, Samantha was arranged to be seated at the end of the table, but she didn’t mind it at all.
During dinner, Xavion quietly moved over to Samantha and whispered, “Samantha, I’m not here this afternoon. I heard you were injured. How are you? Did you go to a doctor?”
Samantha frowned at Xavion beside her.
Xavion had nice features and a pair of vibrant eyes. Catching her gaze, he flashed a grin, revealing his gleaming set of teeth.
He exuded a sunny and cheerful vibe.
Samantha was usually more patient with good–looking people.
She smiled slightly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.
“Are you Xavion?”
Xavion’s eyes widened. “Really? You just haven’t seen me for five or six years, and you’ve forgotten about me already?”

Then, Xavion curved his lips and said, “Samantha, 1 understand that you might be upset with me for not visiting you. My parents had insisted that I pursue further studies abroad in recent years. I only returned a few days ago, and I have been secretly trying to find out where you were. I didn’t expect you to return before me. But, don’t worry. I can protect you now. If you don’t want to stay in this house, just tell me. I will find a place for you and let you move out.”
“Okay.” Samantha smiled.
Xavion’s eyes were dazed when he saw her bright smile.
He thought, “Why do I feel that Samantha is much prettier after six years?”
Despite knowing since childhood that his cousin was exceptionally beautiful, Xavion had always seen Samantha adorn herself with heavy makeup and flamboyant clothing under Lucille’s influence. She had been concealing her innate beauty all along
Therefore, Samantha didn’t make it to the list of the top beauties in Elstuda. Instead, she was famous for being a useless idiot who was born into a prominent family.
Although her features remained unchanged, she exuded an even greater allure now. It was as if she possessed the power to captivate the souls of men.
It was more like a charm emitted from the inside out
She carried herself with her own distinct aura and confidence.
Xavion had thought that Samantha might become more timid and cowardly after she was left on her own to get by outside.
He never expected that she would rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
Living outside for a few years had actually had.a positive effect on her.
Xavion wondered whether he should live on his own to have a try too.
Right then, the conversation between them was heard by Elise, who was sitting next to Xavion.
She feigned surprise and rose her voice. “What? Samantha, are you going to move out?”
Everyone’s attention was immediately attracted, and they all looked at Samantha in anticipation.
Samantha leaned against the back of the chair casually and smiled.
She narrowed her eyes, and a hint of mockery gleamed within them as she stared at Elise. “Why should I move out of the Johansson residence? It’s so comfortable living here. Elise, is it because the food on this table doesn’t meet your taste? Can’t you even keep your mouth shut?”
Elise clenched her hands into fists tightly. Her eyes turned red and she said with sobs, “Samantha, I just heard you and Xavion talking about moving out. Perhaps I heard it wrong, but I just care about you. I worry that if you move out, you will endure hardships again. I also worry that Ryland, who has finally returned to us, has to move out with you too.
“No!” Hearing Elise’s words, Alec suddenly changed his expression and looked at Samantha with a stern look. “You can move out if you want, but Ryland cannot leave!”
Samantha snorted, her eyes filled with unabashed sarcasm. “Alec, I already told you that I have no intention of moving out What? You don’t believe me? Elise shed a few tears, and you’re ready to console her? We’re all your granddaughters. How can you treat us with such blast
“You!” Alec was so angry that his face turned red.
samantha, you’re ungrateful! How can you talk to your grandfather like that? Apologize to your grandfather immediately!”
Chapter 5
Darius pointed at Samantha and scolded her.
Samantha glanced at him with a sharp look. Darius only felt that his hand pointing at Samantha suddenly went limp and hung down for no reason.
for
“He’s not exactly setting a good example, so why should I treat him well? I’ve always believed in treating others the way they treat me. I come back after being injured all over, and no one cares about me. This old man even shamelessly covers up the culprit! Someone pretends to be pitiful and speaks ill of me, yet you all disregard everything and immediately discredit me. Everything I say goes unheard. You all just scold me outright. Why should I respect people like you?!
Samantha cast a sharp glance at the others and said, “Who should be the one apologizing? Me or all of you? Hmm?”
“You… You….” Alec’s face flushed with intense emotions, and his face became even more red. His hands trembled, causing the tableware to clatter onto the ground, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
“Dad!”
Everyone went to check on Alec one after another, and the scene descended into chaos,
“Wayne! Call Dr. Yearwood to come and have a look at Dad.”
“Okay, I’ll call him right now.”
Samantha watched as they carefully helped Alec to the sofa, laying him down gently before gently feeding him water.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
She thought to herself, “I was just speaking the truth. Can’t he handle a little criticism? It would be better if he just dropped dead and stopped polluting the air with his presence!”
Everyone rushed to the living room and surrounded Alec. Only Samantha was still sitting at the dining table, eating slowly. Seeing this, Darius thought, “How can she continue to have her meal so heartlessly after pushing her grandfather to the brink of collapse?”
Darius was so angry that he rushed over and threw Samantha’s bowl to the ground.
“How can you eat at a time like this? Your grandpa is in such a state because of you, and yet you have the audacity to continue eating here? Go kneel before your grandpa and apologize to him!”
“Kneel before him? Are you sure?” Samantha’s bowl was smashed. She hadn’t eaten enough and was in a very bad mood now,
Darius‘ heart trembled when he saw Samantha’s eyes.
Why did he have a feeling that if he said “sure”, it would bring him unbearable consequences?
For a moment, the word “sure” seemed to get stuck in his throat, almost choking him.
“Mommy… Ryland came over and tugged on Samantha’s sleeve
When Samantha saw Ryland’s pitiful eyes, she suddenly softened her heart and tried to press down on her anger. Then she got away from the table, picked up Ryland, and walked into the living room.
Alec was lying on the couch. His chest heaved constantly, and his face had turned pale.
Terence hurriedly shouted, “Wayne Wayne! Where’s Dr. Yearwood? Why hasn’t the doctor come yet?”
“The doctor is on the way! It’ll take ten minutes before the doctor’s here!” Wayne hurriedly answered.
