No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0022 

Samantha smiled as she took a few steps forward. Linda began to retreat in fear. Samantha felt deeply satisfied as she watched the scene unfold. 

“I’m just as you described–a poor orphan from an orphanage,” Samantha said slowly. 

She deliberately emphasized the words “poor orphan“. She was indeed poor right now. However, it wasn’t because she came from a poor background. It was because she had been blind, causing her to lose everything she had. 

“Linda, I’ll slowly enact Ms. Duncan’s revenge on her behalf. You’ll pay for everything you did to her back then.” 

Samantha was delighted as she watched Linda run away. As Linda rounded the corner and disappeared from her sight, the smile faded from Samantha’s face.. 

Samantha leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. Her face was pale, and there was a hint of panic in her eves. She could feel the cold blade, the pain, the bloody atmosphere, and the never–ending darkness… 

She forcefully shut her eyes and hugged herself. 

Samantha’s b*dy trembled uncontrollably. She didn’t know if it was from fear or hatred. 

Samantha sat in the brightly lit office as she looked through some design 

documents. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on her door. She looked up and saw Jude. 

“Ms. Meadows, the company will be holding your welcoming party tonight. Mr. Ford said you can leave two hours in advance if you need to get yourself ready. The dinner starts at 7:00 pm.” 

Samantha was dumbfounded. She didn’t know she had a welcoming party. 

“Will Mr. Ford be present as well?” Samantha asked subconsciously. 

If Kendrick was not planning on attending, she too would like to request to be absent from the party. She had been out the entire day and was worried that Francis might not have taken good care of Nathan. 

Jude had expected Samantha to ask about Kendrick’s attendance. The company would hold welcoming parties for important people. However, Kendrick rarely

Jude didn’t tell her about that. After all, Sophia was a famous designer, and Kendrick seemed to view her differently. 

“Mr. Ford will try to arrange his schedule.” 

That implied that Jude did not know either. If that were the case, 

e case, it would be inappropriate for her to be absent. 

Samantha smiled and said politely, “I got it. I’ll be there on time.‘ 

Samantha immediately grabbed her keys and exited her office once Jude left. As she could leave two hours earlier, she could go home to check on Nathan. She wasn’t certain what time she’d be able to return home later on. 

Samantha arrived at the party at approximately 7:30 pm. 

She had not planned to be late. After all, the party was for her. Although she was not keen on attending, she still had to make an appearance. However, Nathan wanted to taste her cooking. 

After checking the time, Samantha agreed. She never imagined there would be heavy traffic on the way over. 

A crystal chandelier illuminated the ballroom. Samantha was heaving as she sprinted over. She felt like her dress was about to tear by its seams. 

When she arrived, all eyes fell on her. 

Her white evening gown seemed translucent, yet it was very modest. The half- shoulder design displayed her collarbone and slender n*eck. 

She wore a fishtail dress, but it did not look overly extravagant. It highlighted her curves perfectly. There were a few braids in her big curls. There were also a few white flowers placed in her hair as accessories. 

The look was simple yet classy. The few strands of loose hair on Samantha’s face also gave off a sense of gentleness and lively energy. 

Her dress shimmered under the light, giving her a sophisticated look. Samantha looked like an angel who had just descended to Earth. 

Kendrick, who was also late, felt his heart skip a beat as he looked at her. 

He had not intended to partake in tonight’s festivities. But he changed his mind abruptly when he heard Samantha had asked Jude if he would be there. It was the first time he had joined an employee’s welcoming party. 

“Ms. Meadows, it seems like the media does not do you justice. Not only are you a

A charming voice sounded behind her. Samantha froze and immediately turned around. 

Taking in her face, he looked at her with awe. 

She looked very different from how she was during the day. Samantha had always taken great care of her personal appearance. Still, she looked absolutely 

breathtaking in her white gown tonight.. 

Samantha smiled. She said faintly, “Mr. Ford, don’t tease me.” 

She had finally calmed herself down. 

Kendrick was in a suit. His face was near perfection. His presence was enough to drive women into a frenzy. He was handsome, tall, and rich. All of the adjectives that could be used to describe the perfect man could be used on him as well. 

However, Samantha’s eyes were devoid of any emotion. 

Kendrick had gotten accustomed to the intense gaze of women. He was slightly unsettled when he caught Samantha’s calm stare. 

“Ms. Meadows, did you design your own gown?” 

Kendrick’s gaze fell on Samantha’s face. He sounded as though he was attempting to start a conversation. 

Kendrick had never cared about what a woman would wear. After all, those clothes were meant to be taken off. Not to mention, Sophia was a well–known designer. It came to no one’s surprise that she would design her own evening 

gown.
