Chapter 2 I despised Sophia .
If she were a gold digger , I would have gladly handed over all my wealth just to make her leave Samuel .
But I had met her .
She was gentle , kind , and completely uncalculating a perfect angel .
So even though I felt miserable and jealous , I still forced myself to smile and praise them as a match made in heaven .
I guarded my secret carefully , never daring to show a single hint of my true feelings .
Because I knew Samuel didnt love me .
He didnt even see me as a younger sister .
The way he looked at me carried that 1/6 Chapter 2 + 5 Points unmistakable sentiment : My little girl is growing up .
Sophia was six years younger than him .
So I often wondered if six years was acceptable , then what about thirteen ? Could he … at least try ? Samuel took me to the company to assert authority , showing no mercy to those who had attempted to undermine me .
If he had even a sliver of greed , taking everything from me would have been effortless .
Yet he chose the hardest path .
After I came of age , he guided me to take over the company , and to avoid any conflict of interest , he left for a quiet life abroad with Sophia .
2/6 Chapter 2 + 5 Points That night at a banquet , Samuel escorted me through a crowd of business elites , whispering in my ear who was trustworthy and who I should beware of .
A tipsy man staggered toward me , raising his glass .
Miss Martin , a toast to you ! No , she cant- Mr.
Bennett , Ill drink to that .
Cheers ! Ignoring Samuels protest , I downed my drink in one gulp .
For a fleeting moment , his eyes turned cold , and his lips moved slightly as if about to scold me .
Instead , he merely gave me a look of disapproval .
Samuel , Im twenty two now .
Im an adult .
3/6 Chapter 2 + 5 Points Yes , the little girl has grown into a young lady .
He smiled faintly , his voice tinged with resignation .
Perhaps it was the alcohol , but I kept drinking .
On my way to the restroom , I unexpectedly ran into Ryan Cooper the scumbag who had cheated on me .
Ever since he found out about my fortune , Ryan had been begging for my forgiveness .
Evelyn , it was that bitch Tina who seduced me ! I was just confused for a moment .
Please , lets get back together .
I scoffed .
Back together ? Ryan , you were nothing but a pawn to me .
As for Tina … of 4/6 Chapter 2 + 5 Points course I knew what kind of person she was .
Otherwise , why would I have made her my best friend and given you both the chance to betray me ? In a way , I had to thank them .
If not for their betrayal , Samuel wouldnt have returned so soon .
So really , I owed them my gratitude -as well as that sacrificial pawn at the company .
Ryan , I sincerely wish you and Tina the best .
If you ever need help , just ask .
Id be happy to assist .
May you two be bound together forever ! Turning around , I found Samuel standing behind me , his face cold and his presence suffocating .
Feeling guilty , I lowered my head .
5/6 Chapter 2 + 5 Points Without a word , Samuel walked past me and punched Ryan square in the face .
I had never seen the gentle and refined Samuel so ruthless before .
Ryan tried to fight back , but Samuel , as if transformed , beat him to a pulp .
Fearing things would escalate , I quickly grabbed Samuel and dragged him away .
