When Kendrick heard this result, his face darkened. He narrowed his eyes, adding an unintentional but apparent sternness to his face.
“Call Linda here.”
Jude nodded. “Yes, sir.”
Samantha was highly satisfied with the development. She silently stared at her laptop, feigning indifference.
Now that Kendrick had identified Linda as a threat to the company’s interests, she anticipated a more intriguing situation.
Most importantly, Kendrick had already become the center of controversy. Even if he wanted to protect his mentor’s daughter, it wouldn’t be so simple.
Unless he wanted to pin the whole thing on Linda, treating it as if nothing happened and resolving it internally.
At this thought, Samantha couldn’t help but clench her fingers. However, upon second thought, this company was Kendrick’s life’s work. Based on her understanding of him, he wouldn’t shield anyone.
In his eyes, the company’s interests were more important. Whoever threatened it would lose all his trust.
This was all thanks to Linda’s intense jealousy. She considered Samantha a thorn in her eye, repeatedly trying to undermine her and plotting against her. It raised a flag in Kendrick’s heart.
This time, Linda might not be able to escape. Even if not made public, Kendrick wouldn’t treat her the same way as before.
Thinking of this, Samantha relaxed her tightly clenched hands. She truly looked forward to the events that would unfold.
After a knock, a coy voice instantly filled the office.

Samantha was too familiar with it. Sitting silently at her desk, she glanced at the figure that was already sprinting toward Kendrick.
“Kenny, did you ask for me? With all the rumors out there, I wonder how some people still have the audacity to sit here.” Linda’s words carried implications, and she made no effort to conceal her disdain for Samantha.
Kendrick didn’t speak, and he didn’t even look at Linda.
Jude, standing on the side, couldn’t help but frown. The facts were already laid out.
Kendrick’s face a moment ago reflected how angry he was. Surprisingly, Linda seemed completely oblivious, continuing to criticize Samantha.
Jude couldn’t help shaking his head.
Just then, Samantha stood up slowly and met Linda’s bold gaze. She stood straight,
and her face carried what seemed like an innate confidence.
Elegantly, she said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Snider. I really don’t know who you were referring to.”
Linda’s arrogance immediately surged when she met Samantha’s eyes.
Completely ignoring the silent Kendrick, she rushed to approach Samantha, expressing her disgust.
“I was referring to you. Whether in the company or online, people are flooding you with hate comments. I really don’t understand how you can sit here so casually, acting as if nothing has happened.”
Samantha chuckled lightly, casting an amused glance at Linda. “Do you not know what happened? How can you accuse me?”
Linda harrumphed. Realizing that she couldn’t win an argument against Samantha,
she immediately put on an innocent look and moved closer to Kendrick. She hugged
his arm and almost stuck herself to him.
“Kenny, look at Sophia. She always bullies me! Besides, the corridor is really not nice. How about you let me in here to accompany you and ask Sophia to leave?”

Seeing Linda trying to please Kendrick, Samantha turned and sat back in her chair. Suddenly, she thought of how she used to care for him. Every morning, there would be a warm breakfast waiting for him. On the day after a night out drinking, he would find honey water by his bedside.
She had devoted herself to serving him wholeheartedly during their days at Ford Residence. She wanted to use her love to warm this seemingly cold man.
Unfortunately, everything she had done turned into a foolish past-a past Samantha couldn’t forgive herself for. Now that she had returned with a new face, how could she easily let Kendrick off?
Linda was digging her own grave for intentionally framing Samantha.
The upcoming situation promised to be quite a spectacle, and Samantha couldn’t afford to miss it. Most importantly, this would also determine how she could effectively bring down Ford Corporation in the future.
She hated Linda for the eight cuts Linda made on her face in that small, dark room.
Eight cuts!
Samantha would never forget it.
Storms brewed within her gaze, but she remained calm on the outside. She was waiting for the arrival of the spectacle.
Kendrick, who had been silent all along, finally looked up and glanced at the equally silent Jude. He parted his l*ps and said coldly, “You go out first. I have something to discuss with them.”
Jude naturally understood Kendrick’s intention and nodded.
However, Linda seemed completely oblivious to the heavy atmosphere. She continued to be casual, telling Jude, “I need a cup of coffee. Remember to bring it to
me.
Upon hearing this, Jude glanced deeply at Linda and nodded before turning to leave.
Though Kendrick didn’t speak just now, Jude could clearly see the coldness in his
eyes. It seemed that he had been suppressing it for a long time.
