No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0072 

Samantha felt that Kendrick’s words were as though a bomb had gone off. It dealt a 

huge blow to her. 

She had given her everything to Kendrick in the past. Instead, what she got in return 

was seeing beautiful women by his side again and again. 

She had wanted to deepen her understanding of Ford Corporation to destroy him. 

However, she was now presented with the opportunity to take care of him. Funny 

how fate always had a mind of its own. 

“Alright, Mr. Ford,” Samantha agreed with a polite smile. 

She took the small notebook from Kendrick and read through it quietly. 

Time went by agonizingly slow on the plane. They both read books or the news to 

kill time. When they touched down, Samantha was a little confused. The sun was 

still shining so brightly but all she wanted to do was to sleep. Kendrick felt the same. 

The hotel Jude booked for them was luxurious. It was equipped with all kinds of 

facilities. 

The sleepy Samantha looked at the receptionist with impatience. 

She asked fluently, “Miss, are you sure there’s only one suite?” 

“Yes. Mr. Lawson only booked one. 

The receptionist confirmed once again. 

it?” s 

“What kind of suite is it?” Samantha asked calmly, as she suppressed the 

anxiousness in her heart. 

Kendrick had already begun to look annoyed. 

The receptionist patiently repeated her explanation to her. After learning that there would be two rooms in the suite, Samantha finally felt relief. 

“This is prepared for the convenience of our guests who are here on business. 

Assistants may enter and leave more easily.”

The receptionist came up with an explanation for the room’s design. 

Thank you. 

Samantha took the key card and brought the impatient Kendrick to the suite. 

When they reached the suite, Kendrick headed to his room and prepared to freshen 

1. up. He didn’t even wait for her. 

The assistant’s room was not as extravagant as Kendrick’s but it had all the 

necessities. After removing her coat, Jude’s call came in. 

“Have you guys arrived? I will send Mr. Ford’s schedule to you. If there’s any delay, 

you might need to stay for another day. Four hours from now, you will need to attend a business meal with him. The clothes will be…” Jude talked on and on. 

It made Samantha even sleepier. 

Samantha looked through the tight schedule. She then called Francis and informed 

him that she might be delayed. 

After freshening up and resting for a while, Samantha had to An hour later, she was already in the car with Kendrick. 

tru on some clothes. 

The banquet hosted by the partners was equally grand. The event exuded a more open and international vibe. It was unlike the sophisticated glamor of domestic events. Blonde, wavy–haired beauties with features such as high noses and large eyes were everywhere. Samantha, representing the beauty of Arandell women, attracted quite a few glances the moment she stepped into the venue. 

“Hold my arm.” 

Kendrick lifted his arm. 

Samantha nodded and hooked her arm around his. She held her champagne with her other hand, looking around the room. She wondered if they would find a good 

business partner here. 

Samantha took a sip of her champagne and set the glass down. A familiar figure in the distance captured all her attention. A tall man in a three–piece suit held a glass 

of red wine. He had a blonde beauty in his arms, presenting a perfect picture of

charm and elegance. 

Before Samantha could utter a word of reminder, Kendrick grasped her chin. He forced her to redirect her gaze. 

“Pretend he’s not here,” Kendrick whispered into her ear. 

Samantha blushed as she struggled away. She tilted her head and nodded. 

She didn’t know why Conrad was here. Still, Kendrick remained alert toward him. Yet, the more one feared something, the higher likelihood it would happen. 

Conrad walked over. Meanwhile, Samantha was chatting with a socialite with her 

back facing Kendrick. 

Conrad’s hand landed on Samantha’s shoulder lightly. He lowered himself to the 

level of her head. 

Samantha mistook it for Kendrick’s hand. She turned around and unexpectedly 

found herself near Conrad’s handsome face. The scent of cologne filled her nostrils. 

It caused her to take several steps back in quick succession. 

“Ms. Meadows, are you alright?” the socialite exclaimed.. 

“I’m fine. My friend here is just mischievous.” 

Conrad’s eyes lit up from hearing Samantha’s fluency in another language. 

The socialite eyed the two and left with a knowing look. This confused Samantha. 

“Mr. Hayes.” 

“I didn’t expect Kendrick to bring you here.” 

Conrad straightened his b*dy. 

Samantha touched the tip of her nose. She disliked it when men wore cologne. 

“Ms. Meadows, I hope that we can work together, if there’s a chance.” 

Conrad casually clinked glasses with her. With a playful smile, he brushed away the strands of hair from her forehead. He then calmly walked away.

Kendrick, who had been approaching from a short distance, observed the entire scene with a dark expression. He walked up to Samantha and pulled her into his 

embrace. 

“Stay away from him.” 

Kendrick’s threat was surprisingly filled with hatred and disgust. 

“He’s just here to greet me, Mr. Ford.” 

Samantha’s eyes lit up. 

Earlier, she clearly heard Conrad extending an invitation to her. She had previously 

declined to collaborate with Conrad. However, she was presently lacking support. So 

she contemplated if she could test if Conrad had the ability to undo Kendrick.
