No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0051 

Samantha had just lowered her head when she heard Kendrick questioning her. 

She put down the pen in her hand and looked at him in response. 

“If you’re feeling bad for her, why don’t you ask her about it, Mr. Ford?” 

Kendrick was at a loss for words. It was obvious that she felt extreme disdain toward 

his question. 

It wasn’t that he hadn’t perceived her tone. It was that he truly hated the way that she was when she was being aggressive. 

This always made him feel like taming her. 

Even so, he still advised her, “Just keep your distance if you can’t get along with her. You won’t really cross paths in your work anyway.” 

If anything really were to happen, and his mentor were to become involved, things would get tricky. 

From Samantha’s perspective, he sounded as if he was protecting Linda. 

She gave Kendrick a scornful look as she felt even colder toward him. “I’m not interested in provoking your woman. You’d better keep her in check. 

In comparison with how he was utterly indifferent toward her back then, he was treating Linda pretty well. 

Samantha suddenly felt her eyes welling up with tears when she thought about how pathetic she had been last time. 

Fortunately, the computer in front of her covered her face. 

Kendrick didn’t pay attention to Samantha any longer. His advice came from a good place, but he didn’t expect her to disregard him completely. 

Naturally, he was no longer in the mood to speak with her. 

Kendrick didn’t pursue the matter involving Linda. It was a rare occurrence, but he

and Samantha stopped speaking with each other for two days. 

As for Linda, she didn’t take any days off because of her injury. However, Samantha didn’t care about her at all. 

She also couldn’t find any opportunity to teach her a lesson. 

On the third day, Damien, whom they had not seen for a few days, came by once 

again. 

He bore bad news for the Ford Corporation. But to Samantha, it was news that she was delighted to hear. 

It turned out that someone else had gotten their hands on the piece of land that Kendrick was discussing with Robert. 

And that someone was none other than Conrad. 

Everything that was damaging to Kendrick was good news to Samantha. 

Kendrick didn’t hide it from Samantha. Thus, she was able to find out the outcome 

that she had been wanting to hear right at that moment. 

It was said that that piece of land was the largest investment that Kendrick was 

planning to make this year. 

It could bring in a considerable amount of profit for the Ford Corporation. 

He was confident in getting this piece of land. Not only did he lay down all his plans, 

including follow–up arrangements, but he also jumped through hoops in order to 

acquire that piece of land. 

Unexpectedly, he was intercepted. 

Of all people, it had to be someone who made ample preparations in comparison to 

him. Conrad had snatched away what Kendrick already had in his hands. 

After hearing Damien’s report, Kendrick furrowed his brows and asked, “Is there any 

way that we can salvage this?” 

“The opposing party knew that they were going against you, so why would they 

leave a way out? They started work immediately after the agreement was signed. 

They have even completed all procedures with the Department of Commerce because they were afraid that you would seize the opportunity to turn things around. 

Damien shrugged. He wouldn’t be sitting here if it was salvageable. 

Damien sighed and lay his head down on Kendrick’s desk. He had a puzzled look on his face. 

“What do you think is going on with Conrad? Ever since he returned to the country, he has been coming at you. 

“We can forget that he was simply targeting you in the past. But now, he has even stuck his nose into your business. 

“He has been doing all these in the dark, and he’s such a strong rival. This doesn’t look good for you.” 

“I don’t know.” Kendrick then paused. He felt that what Damien said made sense. 

“Have you looked into him?” he asked. 

“Yes. He graduated from the same school as you, though no one knows why he hates. 

you. 

“However, he comes from a powerful background. He has connections everywhere- 

with officials, businessmen, and in the underworld in our country.
