Today, Samantha headed to the set of The High Society.
Yesterday, she had snatched a ring from her grandmother that belonged to Cordelia, warning the old woman to keep mum about it or face the consequences. The old woman was helpless, penniless, and on her last leg. She had no choice but to comply.
The ring fit Samantha's finger perfectly.
This ring, despite its unassuming appearance and vintage charm, had a remarkable effect when worn. It seemed to make the person who wore it radiate with a magical glow.
Samantha had seen many TV dramas and novels featuring the swapping of real and fake heiresses and stories of wealthy families abandoning their children. Although she was reluctant to admit it, Cordelia was indeed exceptionally elegant, tall, and appeared quite aristocratic. She must come from a noble family.
Now the ring was on Samantha's finger, making Samantha the one with the noble birth.
Samantha gave a triumphant grin. She even told Sienna to play along. It would be hard for Sienna to admit she had adopted her daughter, but poverty had made her desperate. If there was a chance to gain wealth, she was willing to take it.
As for Ronald, he was a silent type, not worth her concern.
Today, Samantha wore the ring to the filming set and kept it on during the shoot. She didn’t know where Cordelia’s birth mother was, but the more people saw the ring, the higher the chance of finding Cordelia’s wealthy mother.
Thinking back to the way Cordelia and Ronan visiting her house together yesterday, Samantha felt a surge of anger.
It seemed that the conflict between Cordelia and Ronan was gradually being resolved.
