No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0122

“Mr. Ford, you’re being irresponsible!” Samantha feigned to sound teary. She raised her arm to cover her face, then rushed out of the office.

Sitting in the office, Kendrick paused as he held the document. He glanced toward the door, then lowered his gaze as if nothing had happened.

He was puzzled. Since she wasn’t Samantha, why did she look like she couldn’t bear

to leave him?

Back in her office, Samantha returned to her usual professional demeanor.

When Jude entered, he placed the morning-after pills he had bought on Samantha’s desk with his usual indifferent expression.

“Ms. Meadows, here are the morning-after pills. Please take them.”

Samantha stared at the pills in front of her and gave Jude a professional smile. ”

Thank you.”

Jude glanced at her before turning and heading back to Kendrick’s side.

In the room, Kendrick was looking at the data. He couldn’t slack off until he figured.

out a better solution. Of course, he couldn’t let Ford Corporation’s stock keep

declining.

Jude returned to his side and spoke in his usual tone. “Mr. Ford, given the situation

of our company, should we consider making a public c statement?”

In situations like this, making a public statement was the last thing to be done.

The only question was, who would be the main character in the statement?

Kendrick’s mentor’s daughter, Linda, or Samantha, who was now at the center of the

controversy?

Jude’s suggestion was clear. Since the truth was already out, someone needed to

step up and make a statement.

However, Linda’s status was unique, and Kendrick held his mentor in high regard.

So Jude was asking who should take responsibility for the apology.

“No need for a public statement.” Kendrick’s voice came slowly, and his words

stunned Jude.

Kendrick valued the company’s reputation the most, along with its interests. The

current situation had escalated too much, damaging the company’s reputation. This

called for an explanation, but why did Kendrick…

Kendrick looked at Jude coldly. “We can deal with everything later.”

Jude was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Kendrick’s attention was on

Samantha’s desk, he nodded. “Alright.”

“You can leave now.’

Jude immediately turned and left the office.

Meanwhile, Samantha was staring at the morning-after pills in her hand, but she

continued to observe Kendrick. Once Jude was gone, she intentionally placed the morning-after pills in front of her, pretending to be hesitant before finally swallowing them.

Given her plan to bring down Ford Corporation and her agreement with Conrad, she

had no hesitation in suppressing her aversion. Everything went according to plan.

Perhaps sensing Samantha’s displeasure, Kendrick put down the documents and

walked over to her.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Samantha chose the right time to pick up her cup and swallow the pills.

Although she eagerly wanted to take the pills to avoid any further involvement with

him, she acted as if she were hesitant.

Perhaps seeing her reaction, Kendrick, who had shown no apparent concern,

couldn’t help but speak up.

“Sophia, I apologize for losing control last night.”

“No need for that. This is your company. Naturally, you have the final say, including

my consent,” she replied in a cold tone, showing no fear that he would lose control

again.

As she spoke, she didn’t even bother to look at him.

Noticing that, Kendrick immediately felt a hint of displeasure rising in his heart, and he frowned.

Samantha pressed her l*ps into a line. Facing the empty laptop screen, she deliberately brought up some irrelevant news, ignoring the approaching figure.

She knew he was getting closer, and she knew she needed his proximity at this.

moment more than ever.

She wanted Kendrick to experience what it was like to be kicked away and be left

with nothing after giving his heart.

Though she cursed him in her heart, she maintained a frosty exterior.

She knew Kendrick disliked women who had no feelings toward him. Paradoxically,

it was this type of woman, who blew hot and cold, that piqued his interest the most.

The previous Samantha had been too caring and close to him, which allowed him to

become increasingly presumptuous.

Samantha would never forget how desperately she had needed him, yet he had

never voluntarily returned to Ford Residence. She had been so foolish back then.

As Kendrick approached, he glanced at the open box of morning-after pills, then at

Samantha beside him. She was sitting by the laptop with her gaze fixed on the

screen, which displayed nothing.

He gripped her shoulder, but Samantha remained motionless. She just turned her

head and looked at him coldly. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Ford?”

She didn’t stand up, and her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction about taking the

morning-after pills just now.

She was using all her emotions and actions to execute her plan.

Soon, the grip on her shoulder tightened. His hand was powerful enough to cause pain. Yet Samantha pretended not to feel it as she stared at him intently.
