Chapter 26
Chapter 26 Who Said You Could Leave?
Samantha was stunned when she saw the mocking smile on Isabella's face.
Her face immediately turned as white as a sheet. A voice kept echoing in her head. Isabella did not die. She was well and alive!
"How could the woman still be alive?"
"Why didn't she die in the plane crash 5 years ago?"
Over the past 5 years, Samantha enjoyed her life as the little princess of the Thompson and Lang families. Besides, she was a top female celebrity in the industry. She even had a very indulgent fiancé.
Everything had gone exceptionally well in her life, and she got everything she wanted.
Isabella's existence was nothing less than a wisp of smoke. After appearing briefly in her life, she disappeared for good without leaving any traces.
However, Isabella had shown up in front of her alive and well.
Samantha wanted to lunge at her and ask why she was still alive.
However, the last bits of her rationality kept telling her not to do it.
Regina was right beside her. She could not let Regina find out that Isabella was still alive and that she was the biological daughter of the Lang family.
Even though the Lang family refused to acknowledge Isabella, Samantha did not want her to show her face in front of the Rivera family. After all, the blood of the Lang family ran through Isabella's veins.
The engagement between the Lang and Rivera families was arranged before the children were even born. In reality, this meant Samantha's fiancé belonged to Isabella.
Samantha did not like to admit it, but she knew it inside. Everything she possessed now belonged to Isabella.
Samantha could feel her body turning very cold. Despite the thick foundation she was wearing, it could do nothing to conceal her pale face.
"Sam, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Regina went into a daze when she looked at Isabella. After snapping out of her thoughts, she noticed that something was wrong with Samantha. Samantha glanced at Isabella. She then put on a vulnerable and miserable look. She shook her head and said, "I'm not feeling well. Gina, can we go?" Regina took a glance at Isabella warily. She noticed that Samantha's reaction seemed to have something to do with the woman in front of them.
"Has this woman done something to Sam when I was not looking?" Regina thought.
Samantha was a top celebrity with a great number of followers. It was unsurprising if people wanted to do bad things to her out of jealousy.
In an instant, Regina could no longer be bothered by Isabella's beautiful face. She helped Samantha as they walked out.
When they turned in the corner, a vicious look took place in Samantha's eyes. Since Isabella did not die as she planned 5 years ago, she simply had to die one more time. Isabella had only herself to blame for coming back to annoy her.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. "Samantha Lang, are you leaving because you saw me?"
The voice sounded unrestrained, casual, and arrogant. "Did I say you could leave?"
Samantha's face looked livid. Isabella would resort to anything. She never did as people expected and could hit her without hesitation.
Samantha could not help thinking about the incident which happened 5 years ago.
The last thing she wanted now was to talk to Isabella. After her footsteps paused briefly, she did not stop
and walked even more quickly.
Meanwhile, Regina was completely infuriated by Isabella's actions.
She hastily turned around and glared at Isabella agitatedly. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?" Isabella did not look at her at all Instead, she looked at Samantha, her face turning green. The disdainful smile on her face slowly changed into a villainous smirk.
"Samantha Lang, daughter of the Lang family. I heard you've done well for yourself in the last 5 years.
"No I made a mistake Since 25 years ago, you've always done well."
Isabella looked at Samantha Even the makeup on her face was unable to conceal the resemblance she shared with her biological parents from the Thompson family.
A look of condescension swept across Isabella's eyes.
Isabella resembled Mrs. Lang a lot. The moment Samantha saw the contempt in her eyes, she was startled.
Isabella felt deeply satisfied after seeing Samantha's reaction.
The smile on her face deepened as she continued, "Then again, your happy days are numbered, Miss Lang. From now on, I will make you pay back many times for what your family has done to me. Whatever you want, I will take it from you."
Isabella smiled brightly. She looked like a mischievous child who had found an interesting toy.
Samantha opened her eyes wide in shock upon hearing her words.
"Are you crazy?" Regina scolded sharply as she glared at Isabella in rage.
A mocking expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"Are you thinking of using Sam to get famous just because you're pretty? Are you that desperate to get famous?"
Samantha pulled Regina's hand. She cast a pitiful look at Regina and indirectly tried to agree that she was right. "Gina, everyone wants to get famous, right? We should be more forgiving about it. After all, she hasn't done any real harm to me. Let's just forget it and not make a big deal of it. Why don't we just go?" Samantha subtly hinted that Isabella was desperate to get famous and tried to use her popularity. At the same time, she pulled Regina along and made an attempt to leave.
She did not want to make a big deal out of it right now since it would serve her no good.
She was a superstar now. Also, she did not want the Lang family to find out that Isabella was still alive.
She just wanted to handle Isabella quietly, without letting anyone find out.
Regina bought what Samantha said. She glared at Isabella indignantly. Even though she did not want to let Isabella off easy, she had to do it because Samantha said so.
The two of them proceeded to leave.
However, the annoying voice came from behind. "What if I hurt you?"
"Huh?" Regina could no longer bear it.
She instantly turned around and glared at Isabella with her big round eyes. She looked quite furious.
A look of resentment swept across Samantha's eyes as her eyes turned dark.
The moment Isabella caught the look in Samantha's eyes, she felt intrigued.
At that moment, a group of people happened to walk past the bathroom.
They were a group of men. Some of them were dressed in suits, while others were dressed in luxury casual outfits. Every single one of them looked rich.
A middle-aged man among them happened to look over from the corner of his eyes. His eyes froze before they brightened in delight uncontrollably.
He said a few words to his friends and turned around, walking toward the bathroom.
As he walked, he called his son, Daniel.
The man was none other than Benjamin.
Daniel was also at the restaurant. When he received the call from his father, he could not help feeling excited. His father had unexpectedly found the woman! He quickly walked out of the private room and went to the bathroom.
Benjamin and Daniel wanted to get close to Isabella so badly, so they walked at top speed. In a matter of minutes, both of them were outside of the bathroom. When they got there, they happened to see Regina pointing at Isabella's face and scolding her.
"You resort to anything just to get famous. Otherwise, no one will pay you any attention.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"I know you want to use Samantha's fame to get in the news, but are you sure you are good enough?"
Regina's face was filled with mockery as she dissed Isabella.
"Sam has everything. She comes from a powerful family. Also, she is well educated. How can you compete with her? Do you think you can do it with your pretty face alone?"
