The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 44 The Rivera Family Calls Off The Marriage

The members of the Lang family were utterly disgusted by what they heard.

No one spoke on their way back. Even the driver looked crossed.

They only had contempt for the Thompson family for all those despicable acts.

The Thompson family was just downright shameless. Did they feel any guilt when they did those things?

The Lang family was sure that the Thompson family sure didn't. If they did, then they wouldn't have done so. "You really can't judge a book by its cover. I didn't expect the Thompson family to be so morally dishonest." Mrs. Lang's face was ashen.

She thought for a moment and thought of Isabella Thompson, whom she had met five years ago. Then she thought of the baby in the video who had been separated from her by Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Lang couldn't help but have some thoughts about her biological daughter when she saw with her own eyes how her daughter was swapped.

However, Isabella was already dead.

"She's already dead." Tears welled up in Mrs. Lang's eyes, and her heart ached faintly.

Ethan Lang and Jason Lang also had grim expressions.

Mrs. Lang said, "I must stop Sammy and the Thompson family from interacting. Even if they are Sammy's biological parents, it's better not to have such malicious biological parents." Jason glanced at his mother.

Actually, a thought popped up in his head, but he couldn't just say it out loud...

He also hoped that his guess was not true.

He and Ethan looked at each other in tacit understanding and did not say anything.

When they returned home, Samantha Lang was already there. Surprisingly, the Rivera family was also there as well.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, you're all finally back. Mr. Rivera and Mrs. Rivera have come."

Samantha immediately greeted them.

Mrs. Lang looked at her pitifully. Ethan nodded at her and walked towards the Rivera couple.

The Rivera couple also stood up and walked over. Mr. Rivera said, "We should have informed beforehand that we are visiting. Please excuse us..."

Ethan stared at him and said, "We've many years of friendship. There's no need to stand on ceremony. When have you not come whenever you want? When have we not gone to yours whenever we want to?" These words made both families laugh.

While they were busy chatting, Samantha held her brother's arm and said, "Big Brother, where did you all go? I called the company, but all of you weren't there either." Jason glanced at her and said directly, "We went to the place where the Thompson family used to live. We have to find out if the video we found online is real." Jason stared into Samantha's eyes.

Samantha's expression changed, but her eyes still appeared magnanimous and worried. She looked straight at Jason. "Big Brother, did you... find anything?"

Her expression was not abnormal at all. Jason said with a complicated expression, "The Thompson family had been mistreating Isabella Thompson. Moreover, the video is authentic." Samantha's face turned pale.

"Big Brother..." Samantha looked at him in fear.

Jason patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "Sammy, they are them and you are you.

"The reason why we went to investigate the matter this time is that we don't want you to be implicated

because of your bloodline. Although they are your biological parents, you should stay away from them if they have malicious intentions of using you. You shouldn't go close to them anymore." Samantha was extremely flustered. She nodded with a pale face. Then she heard Madame Rivera say, "We're here to discuss the marriage between the two children..."

Samantha's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she had a bad premonition.

She was no longer in the mood to ask Jason what they had found out. She quickly adjusted her expression and walked toward Mrs. Lang and sat down. She wanted to hear what the Rivera couple had to say. The Rivera couple looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.

Mr. Rivera said, "Ethan, our families have maintained a close relationship for many years, so I want to be direct with you. Although you may feel unhappy as to what I am about to say, I am still going to do so." Hearing this, the Lang couple looked at each other and their expressions became solemn. They vaguely realized what Mr. Rivera was about to say was concerning Samantha.

Mrs. Lang looked at Samantha empathetically and said, "Sammy, go up to your room first. Daddy and Mommy have something to say to your Uncle and Auntie Rivera."

The uneasiness in Samantha's heart intensified. She gave a stiff smile and her face could not help but turn pale.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I will be able to handle whatever they say. I'll help peel some fruits."

Samantha didn't want to go. She didn't know what they'd all say or how they'd dictate her fate if she walked

away.

After the video was released, Samantha felt like she was constantly in agony.

Mrs. Lang looked troubled.

Sammy had always been obedient, but this time, she disobeyed her. And she even did that in front of the Rivera family.

It was then she realized that Sammy might also be feeling uneasy.

Mrs. Lang smiled at the Rivera couple. Then she looked at Samantha and yielded. "Child... Alright, you stay with us then."

Samantha smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Mom. You're the best."

She acted coquettishly, but the stiff smile on her face was apparent.

Ethan and Jason felt a little uncomfortable at that.

Mrs. Lang's heart ached a little. Although she had seen with her own eyes in the video that the child had been swapped, she still doted on Samantha very much. Their sentiments over the years could not be falsified.

However, when she looked at Samantha, the scene of her flesh and blood being replaced by Mrs. Thompson, who had a sinister smile flashed across her mind. Samantha was the child of that vicious nanny. Samantha had been replaced by that vicious nanny with ulterior motives.

As for the child she gave birth to, she had suffered since she was young and was even suppressed. That outstanding child was mistreated and they ruined her future. The cruelest thing was that they were now willing to make it up to that child, but she was no longer alive...

Five years ago, if they hadn't treated that child so heartlessly, she might not have left Dawton City. And she wouldn't have died in that plane crash...

Mrs. Lang could not help but think that perhaps they were the ones who killed her.

When isabella was born, they could not protect her. When she grew up, they were more than capable of protecting her, compensating her, and accepting her. But they had rejected her for someone else's child...

Mrs. Lang was feeling mixed emotions when she thought about these.

The Rivera couple looked at Mrs Lang and sighed inwardly in resignation. Madame Rivera glanced at

Samantha.

Then she said, "Rowena, look at Sammy. She looks so much like her biological mother.

"I used to think that she didn't look like you. Later, I found out that she was not your biological daughter. I knew it. What kind of child doesn't look like her parents?"

Samantha did not expect Madame Rivera to say such a thing. Her face instantly turned pale.

Samantha's lips trembled and her eyes turned red. She turned to look at Madame Rivera with a pitiful expression.

Mrs. Lang's face stiffened for a moment. "Stella, why are you saying this?"

Madame Rivera sighed and went straight to the point. "Rowena, we had promised an engagement back when we were both pregnant, but Sammy was not the child you were expecting." The blood drained from Samantha's face. She couldn't even maintain her pitiful expression at this point.

Mrs. Lang also sighed. "Stella, why are you saying this?

"That child is already dead. I've raised Sammy since she was young. She's my biological daughter. Moreover, Sammy will always be my biological daughter."

As soon as Mrs. Lang said this, Madame Rivera gave her a weird look.

Madame Rivera exchanged glances with Mr. Rivera. Then the Rivera couple looked at the Lang family in disbelief

Then Mr. Rivera gave Samantha a knowing look and turned to the lang family couple. Didn't Sammy tell you that that child is still alive?"

The members of the Lang family were stunned.

"How is that possible? She died when the plane crashed five years-"

Mrs Lang was extremely shocked. Her heart suddenly felt as if it had been struck out of a sudden, and she felt indescribably lost.

She asked, "What does Sammy know? Why would she be the one to tell us?"

Samantha felt that she should have listened to Mrs. Lang and gone upstairs to her room. She shouldn't have insisted on staying and listening to them discuss about herself.

She felt so on edge that it was so hard for her to keep her body upright even while sitting.

Ethan and Jason exchanged looks. Both father and son glanced at Samantha.

Samantha's eyes darted around quickly. She opened his mouth to say something, but Madame Rivera interrupted her in advance.

"A few days ago, Cris, Gina, and Sammy met that child at Savor. Her name is Isabella Thompson, am I right? "Cris told us that she looks just like you and your husband, and she looks like Jason too. It is obvious that you're family.

"Rowena, Ethan, we're actually here for one purpose. I've already said this before, but the engagement is only effective if the child is your biological daughter."

They had expressed their stance clearly. They were only keen on the marriage between the biological daughter of the Lang family and their son, and not some fake who was swapped with malicious intentions. Samantha felt her entire body turn cold, and her mind went numb. The Rivera family didn't want her to marry into their family. They wanted Isabella Thompson instead. How could this be?

Marrying into a wealthy family was her chance to become a bona fide member of upper-class society. She felt uneasy relying on the Lang family, so she had to marry into the Rivera family and become the daughter-in-law of the Rivera family. Then in the future, she would inherit the position of the wife of the chieftain.

Isabella Thompson was unqualified!

Then without much thinking, she blurted out mean words.

"Madame Rivera, Isabella Thompson already has a child. Her child is old enough to attend kindergarten! "I'm sure all of you don't know this, but Isabella Thompson had a fling with some random guy five years

ago.

And now that she's back, she's brought a child along with her.

"You of the Rivera family don't think much of me, but do you really want to accept someone impure?"

Her words were extremely vulgar, shocking everyone present.

Mrs. Lang looked at Samantha in disbelief. She could not believe that her well-bred and gentle daughter would say such a thing.

Mrs Lang could not imagine those words had come out of Samantha's mouth. It was as if Samantha was a stranger to her.

She looked at Samantha with a trace of confusion and a flash of unfamiliarity.

Meanwhile, the father and son duo of the Lang family felt their vision darkening.

The Rivera couple looked at each other, relieved.

This strengthened their belief that the Lang family's years of influence had not worn away the girl's vulgar nature Samantha was indeed the daughter of that vicious nanny. Sometimes, it could be said that bloodline and genetics reflect one's character.

One's nature could be nurtured, but the influence of one's genetics should not be ignored.

The Rivera family refused to accept such a daughter-in-law.

The Rivera family couple was even more determined to call off the marriage.

After Samantha finished speaking, she was also stunned. She had clearly misspoken.

She could only look at everyone helplessly, not knowing what to say to salvage her image.

Mrs. Lang looked at her in a daze and muttered, "Sammy, so you did see Bella a long time ago. Why didn't you tell us when you had the chance?"

Samantha sneered inwardly, "Bella? Ha. Already calling her Bella?"

In the past, the members of the Lang family did not accept Isabella Thompson. But now, they were already starting to call her by her nickname.

They weren't her biological parents, so she thought it was given that they weren't reliable. She only had one thought now: she had to marry into a wealthy family!All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Then Samantha regained some rationality.

With tears in her eyes, she choked and said, "Mom, are you blaming me? Mom, do you know how Isabella Thompson treated me that day?

"She hit me. I was in the hospital for two days. Did you guys know that?

"I was really at a loss. I don't know how to tell you this... By the time I wanted to tell you, the video was already trending online.

"I really didn't know that Mrs. Thompson would do such a thing. I don't think I can face you now. I..."

Samantha broke out in tears and tears streaked down her face.

She looked at the Rivera couple and sobbed uncontrollably. "I know that both of you are unsatisfied that I am not a biological child of the Lang family, but I can't choose what family I'm born into!

"I love Cris. I love him so much that I can't live without him!"

Mrs. Lang's heart ached when she saw Samantha like this, but the Rivera couple was unmoved.

Although Samantha Lang's acting skills were good, they could still see through her intentions because they were bystanders.

Especially Madame Rivera. She was a member of the Lockwood family. She had been exposed to such trickeries and schemes. Hence, Samantha's little tricks could not fool her.

Mrs. Lang hugged Samantha and comforted her while looking at Ethan, hoping he could speak up for his daughter.

But Ethan remained silent.

He was not Mrs. Lang. He had done business for years. Once he calmed himself and considered the matter

objectively, the things he had overlooked started to slowly resurface again.

He looked at Samantha with a hint of doubt.

Mrs. Lang had no choice but to comfort her daughter when she saw that Ethan stayed silent. "Stella, I didn't expect you to judge people by their looks. Let me make myself clear today. Sammy is my daughter.

No one can hurt her."

Madame Rivera looked at Mrs. Lang in resignation. "Do you think we are such superficial people? Rowena, if we are indeed such people, then we would have broken off the engagement five years ago when

the child-swapping incident was exposed."

Mrs. Lang was dazed.
