Chapter 145


    The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.


    Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She


    looked alluring, mature, and charming.


    She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.


    Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.


    “Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at thepany,


    and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his


    room.


    Adrian nced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.


    Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain


    himself from taking a few extra nces.


    “Do I look good?” Samantha asked.


    She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.


    He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”


    Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her room, “Mother, it’s thepany’s opening


    ceremony today. Come and enjoy the event. You must be bored from staying at home all day.”


    Rue epted the invitation in delight.


    However, Adrian said, “Sam, I won’t being with you to the opening. I have some matters to attend


    to and will be heading out in a bit.”


    “What?”


    Samantha was instantly stunned upon hearing Adrian’s remark. She said anxiously, “How can I go


    without you?”


    Samantha had grown dependent on Adrian as ofte.

    Adrian said, “You’re the chairperson and president of New Paraiso now. You’re the main focus of the


    opening ceremony. Keep an open mind and do what you should do. I won’t be keeping youpany.”


    “But I…” Samantha wanted to say something.


    She then asked, “Where are you going then? Will you tell me? I’m your wife, so I have the right to know


    where you’re going.”


    Adrian smiled. “You’ll find out soon enough. All the best, Sam. Rx and be brave. Remember that


    your have my support in everything no matter what happens.


    Adrian walked out upon saying that.


    Samantha was stunned.


    You have my support in everything!


    It was the same remark as before, yet this time, she felt a tug of emotions in the depths of her heart.


    Tears welled up in Samantha’s eyes as she gazed at Adrian’s departing silhouette.


    Rue said, “That scoundrel. It’s not very nice of him to not keep youpany on such an important


    asion. I’ll give him an earfulter.


    “All right, all right. Don’t cry, Sam.”


    Rue wiped away Samantha’s tears.


    Samantha said, “He’s not like his past self. I have this constant feeling that there are many things about


    him that we don’t know. Don’t you feel that Adrian is a different personpared to who he was seven


    years ago, Mother?”


    Adrian was Rue’s son so, of course, she had noticed this.


    She nodded, “Perhaps he has grown.”


    Samantha said, “No, it’s not because he has grown, I sense confidence in him. I can’t exin it but it


    feels as if he’s standing proudly in the world and there’s no one else in this world who can surpass his


    confidence.


    “It feels like he is an overlord.


    “I’ve never encountered a man with such confidence. Not even in the son of Swallowston’s richest


    man.”
