Chapter 354
At that moment, everyone looked at Samantha.
Samantha quickly tried to change her expression. She tried to look as normal as possible, but her jealousy was too intense. She could not help but look furious. Her face became even more distorted.
Lawrence looked at Samantha with a smile, as if he was looking at something funny.
He sounded concerned. “Are you unwell, Sam?”
His voice was as gorgeous, elegant, mellow, and intoxicating as the best cello in the world.
However, there was not a trace of concern in his violet eyes. Instead, they were filled with excitement and mocking.
Isabella looked at Lawrence speechlessly and thought to herself, “Oh, what a playboy!”
Fortunately, he did not indeed fall for Samantha. Otherwise, Isabella would need to teach him a lesson.
Samantha took a deep breath and finally calmed herself down. However, resentment and jealousy were still glimmering in her eyes. They greatly affected her beauty.
She smiled stiffly and shook her head. “I’m fine,” she said.
When she was speaking, her gaze finally moved away from Draxton and landed on Isabella.
She smiled and said, “Isabella, I didn’t expect to see you here. Mom and dad miss you. Why don’t you go home and visit them?”
At this point, she looked aggrieved. “Well, your status is different now. You’re not an ordinary person. anymore. It’s understandable if you don’t want to have anything to do with the people from your past.”
She sighed. Her eyes looked very sad.
Isabella curled her lips. She found what Samantha said interesting. She sounded bitchy. Those who didn’t know better would think that since Isabella had become rich, she didn’t care about her parents anymore.
“Haha…” Isabella chuckled and was about to say something when she saw Samantha panic. Samantha quickly waved her hand and said in a panic, “No, no, no, I was wrong. I am not criticizing you. Isabella, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I just… Mom and dad really miss you.”
Isabella didn’t know how to react.
She was speechless. She felt embarrassed for Samantha.
She cleared her throat and said solemnly. “Ms. Lang, let me remind you that this is the Traditional Medicine Association, not a movie set. You can stop acting now. Besides, I really don’t like talking to people who distort the truth.”
Samantha didn’t know what to say at first.
When she regained her composure, her expression changed again. She blinked, and tears rolled down her face. “Isabella, I know you resent mom and dad because they didn’t accept you. You weren’t as outstanding as me and were debaucherous, but they still love you. You…”
“Enough!” A cold and stern voice suddenly sounded.
Samantha shuddered and stopped talking.
Isabella looked in the direction of the voice and saw a councilwoman standing behind Admiral Sanders. The councilwoman could only be considered decent-looking, but her body was very fit. She also seemed capable and spirited.
Her expression was stern. After scolding Samantha, she turned to Lawrence and said, “Mr. Lawrence Docker, i think you should know what kind of occasion this is. Your companion doesn’t seem to know the rules.” Lawrence smiled apologetically at the councilwoman, then tilted his head and said to Samantha, “Sam, if there’s something between you and Isabella, can we settle it in private? This place is not suitable for acting.”
Pfft!
Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh.
The corners of Isabella’s mouth twitched. She suspected that Lawrence did it on purpose.
Samantha’s face hardened.
The councilwoman’s expression remained unchanged. She still looked extremely stern. Her sharp gaze swept across Samantha’s face. She said, “Also, Mr. Docker, before you came, didn’t you remind your female companion that her attire and makeup are not suitable for this occasion?”
She thought this man was her fan, the kind of hardcore fan who would even give her a star if she asked for it. He was infatuated with her and would love and cherish her. However, she did not expect….
How could this happen?
Samantha was completely stunned.
“You… You tricked me…” Samantha mumbled as she looked at Lawrence.
Lawrence shrugged slightly. “Sam, how can you blame me? At that time, I thought you would choose the dress next to this one that was slightly cheaper but more simple and elegant. I didn’t expect you to like wearing diamonds so much!”
Samantha’s vision was blurred. Was he trying to say that she was vain?
She seemed hurt when she looked at Lawrence. Tears welled up in her eyes. She turned around and wanted to run out
She felt humiliated, especially when all this happened in front of Isabella.
She could not accept such a blow at all. She almost instinctively turned around and wanted to run away.
Lawrence grabbed her arm.
She was overjoyed and turned around, only to meet Lawrence’s evil gaze.
Mockery gleamed in his violet eyes. He asked, “Sam, the people here are all true nobles. Are you willing to leave just like that?
“Look at you. Although this gown is not suitable for this occasion, you’re truly beautiful. Are you seriously leaving?
“Look at those people. They’re fascinated by you!”
Lawrence sounded like a devil who was whispering. He was using temptation to lure her into hell.
