Chapter 60 Mrs. Lang
Samantha covered her burning face with her palms. Tears of humiliation and pain rolled down her face. This time, she was genuinely crying because she was upset.
Lawrence’s face darkened. Regardless, he had been looking forward to meeting his idol, Samantha. And yet, even before he could have his way with her, she was already being humiliated in front of him. Honestly, it was a let-down.
However, when he saw Isabella’s sidelong glance at him, Lawrence felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine. He was stunned and did not dare to move for a while.
As Samantha cried, she stole a glance at Lawrence. She felt even more embarrassed when she noticed all the customers in the café were looking at them.
However, Samantha was a celebrity. She was aware of the benefits of public discussions and search trends. She was not afraid of being recognized or someone taking a video of her and uploading it online.
She was the one who got hit. If news of her being bullied by Isabella spread, she would top the search trend again. And Isabella would only face even more public backlash.
However, this mall was a high-end mall that valued the privacy of its customers. Usually, paparazzi could not enter, and the patronizing customers would not have anything better to do than to take such videos.
As a result, Samantha did not realize that someone was secretly filming her.
Samantha looked at Isabella’s cold and mocking expression. Lawrence did not do anything either. At that moment, Samantha felt immensely ashamed and resentful. She covered her face and ran away in a sorry
state.
Lawrence glared at Isabella. He then quickly chased after Samantha.
Olivia looked at Isabella with admiration. “Isabella, just look at that guy with purple eyes and purple hair. He is obviously furious but does not even have the guts to confront us. He seems to be very afraid of you!”
Isabella smiled and said, “He was my patient. I treated him before. But he was in a bad state then and did not. know my identity. Hence, I recognize him, but he does not recognize me.
“The reason he is afraid of me is probably that he is the patient, and I am the doctor. Just like how a child is terrified of injections!”
Isabella smiled mischievously.
“Isabella, you’re really amazing!”
Olivia was now brimming with indescribable admiration for Isabella.
Looking at the starry-eyed and blushed-face Olivia, Isabella could not help but feel that she was exceptionally adorable, Isabella chuckled and pinched Olivia’s fair and tender cheek gently. Then, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. This feels so good!”
Olivia’s face turned even redder. She grabbed Isabella’s hand and said, “Isabella, please don’t do this. You are making my heart race. I’m afraid my brother will kill me if he finds out!”
Isabella was stunned at first. Then, she burst out in laughter. Smiling and shaking her head, Isabella held Olivia’s hand as they returned to her seat.
Now that those obnoxious people were out of their faces, they finished their coffee and went shopping.
It was a scary thing when a woman was shopping. Putting four wealthy women shopping together was even
scarier
In the end, the bodyguards who were secretly following them had to help them load their shopping bags into the car.
As for Samantha, she did not run to the hospital this time. Instead, she went back to the Lang family.
Ethan and Mrs. Lang were just drinking tea at that time and also discussing the online news. They had mixed feelings about Mr. Thompson saying that it was Isabella who knocked him down and how obvious it was that Samantha was the one leading the discussions.
At that moment, Samantha returned with her hand on her injured face. Her hair was disheveled, and her skin was pale. The palm print and blood mark on her face were obvious and attention-catching.
Her face was covered in tears and her eyes were red. When Ethan and Mrs. Lang saw her, their minds went blank from shock
Mrs. Lang reacted first. She stood up in disbelief and quickly walked towards Samantha. “Sammy, what’s wrong?”
Her voice was trembling.
She had raised this daughter. Although recent events had made them realize that the Thompson family was playing dirty, it was still heart-aching for them to see Samantha hurt to this extent.
“Mommy Samantha broke down further upon seeing Mrs. Lang. She had been suppressing her emotions, and when she finally saw her mother, she could no longer keep them in. Any grievances, hatred, fear, and humiliation she swallowed were all let out.
She threw herself into her mother’s arms and bellowed loudly, “Mom, I’m scared. I’m really scared. Please don’t abandon me!”
Samantha cried at the top of her lungs. All the negative emotions she harbored seemed to have found a way out, and she was venting them.
The Lang family had been a little cold toward her the past few days. Although they did not say anything about wanting her to leave or disowning her, Samantha still felt fearful.
The Rivera family had broken off the engagement. If even the Lang family did not want her, who could she turn to?
That Thomson couple?
Mrs. Lang’s heart ached. Samantha had never left her side growing up. Before the two children’s identities were discovered, she had led a carefree life in the Lang family. She was smart, obedient, and outstanding. She was their pride.
Mrs. Lang had never seen Samantha cry this distressingly before. She must have suffered a huge grievance. outside.
Any cumbersome feelings she felt with Samantha dissolved into pity for her at this moment.
She patted Samantha on her back and comforted her gently. “Sammy, be good. Don’t be sad. Mommy will be heartbroken if you are like this. Tell me what happened to your face. Who bullied you?”
Samantha did not answer her. Instead, she shook her head vigorously and said, “Mom, I’m fine. I accidentally hit myself.”
Mrs. Lang’s heart ached even more. This was her precious child, whom she had doted on from young. And Samantha had never suffered like this before. With a sterner voice, Mrs. Lang said, “Sammy, do you think Mommy doesn’t know anything? Someone clearly inflicted this injury on you. Tell me, who hit you?”
Still, Samantha shook her head and sobbed. “Mom, please don’t ask anymore. I really hit myself. Can’t you just take it that I hit myself?”
Samantha choked. Her voice was heart-wrenching. “Mommy, hug me. Can you hug me again? You haven’t hugged me in a long time, and you have been ignoring me these past few days. I’m really scared.”
She looked so fragile.
Mrs. Lang was heartbroken.
Nonetheless, Mrs. Lang could guess as much from Samantha’s reactions. Her eyes darkened as she probed further. “Sammy, it’s Isabella Thompson, right? She was the one who injured your face, right?”
Samantha stiffened. She did not confirm, but just hugged Mrs. Lang and cried.
Mrs. Lang understood it all.
