Chapter 4

Mrs. Lang looked daggers at Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. “Didn’t we strike a deal when we met in the hotel yesterday?

“Sammy will still be our daughter, and we agree to let her visit you from time to time. So why did Sammy say that she was going to leave us? What did you say to her?”

To Mrs. Lang, Samantha was an excellent girl, and she thought that the Thompson family had come to take

Samantha away from her.

She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Samantha and

would not allow that to happen.

Mr. Thompson was at a loss for words. Mrs. Thompson waved her hand and said, “Nothing. We didn’t say anything to her. Please don’t get us wrong, madam.”

As she spoke, she cast a pointed glance at Isabella from the

corners of her eyes.

Mrs. Lang followed her gaze and saw the wordless Isabella. She was instantly gripped by a wave of annoyance.

Knitting her brows impatiently, Mrs. Lang gave Isabella a scathing look and asked in a steely voice, “It’s you, right? What did you say to Sammy?”

Isabella didn’t reply and just stared at Mrs. Lang in silence.

Samantha choked, “It has nothing to do with Miss Thompson. She didn’t say anything to me. I just think it’s the right thing to do.”

She looked so sad, but her eyes were clear, and her voice was firm when she continued, “Mom, the last thing I want to

do is leave you and Dad, but Miss Thompson is your biological daughter, after all. So I think I’d better move in with the Thompson family.

“I would be grateful if Miss Thompson could allow me to come back to see you and Dad when I miss you.”

Mrs. Lang couldn’t believe her ears and looked at Samantha

nervously.

Ethan said in a disapproving tone, “That’s nonsense, Sammy. We have agreed on this matter. You will be the daughter of the Lang family forever. Anyone who has the nerve to force you to leave will be making enemies with us!”

As he spoke, his eyes flicked to Isabella, and he gave her a

warning glare.

Mrs. Lang gathered her thoughts and said, “Sammy, in our hearts, you are our only daughter. We don’t want anyone

else but you!”

Mrs. Lang’s eyes glinted with determination. She would rather not have given birth to Isabella so that she wouldn’t be able to harm Samantha and force her to leave.
