“How could they have found out?” Maria roared, “I told you to not mess up, but you still messed up over and over again. If you had succeeded last time then there would have been no need to do this.”
She was about to lose her mind, “Sampson, was it really a mistake or are you too weak to handle them?”
Maria seriously suspected that the problem was Sampson’s weak determination.
“I tried my best!” Sampson yelled at his sister for the first time, “Because of this matter Lola and I are finished.”
Even if he blackmailed her to marry him by kidnapping her child, she was not ever going to treat him like before. She never loved him anyway.
But at least she was willing to be close to him and treat him as a close friend.
He was afraid that now he had become her enemy.
“Don’t act like you have sacrificed. You are selfish to your core! Don’t forget, before you accepted me as your sister, you hid the truth that you found from her.” Maria could see through him clearly; he was just like her.
He was just good at disguising.
And now he had revealed his true nature.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sampson didn’t want to be picked apart like that.
Even though she was right.
“Okay, go on ahead and treat me as nonsense.” Maria didn’t want to argue with him either. This was not the time to argue about this anyway.
The needed to urgently think about how to handle the current situation. Maxina had escaped and
Loredana was bound to find out soon.
“Where did Maxina escaped?” Maria asked.
“The river right outside the village.”
That place was very close to here. If she provided any clues, Loredana would be able to find this place very soon. Maria was afraid this place was not safe for them anymore.
They couldn’t hide Samuel here.
“We need to leave and find another place to hide Samuel.” Maria squinted, “The far we can go the better, somewhere Loredana can’t find us ever.”
Samuel was her son. If she found out that her son was lost or dead, she would go completely crazy.
“Our plan was just to kidnap him and to blackmail her until she marries me, then release him…”
“And then?” Maria interrupted him, “Will she sincerely marry you? Stop dreaming! You can only keep her by your side if you hold Samuel in your hands forever.’
There was no going back from here.
Sampson put Samuel, who was still unconscious, in the back seat again.
“Let’s leave here and find another place.” Maria got into her car. Just as she was about to start the car, she noticed a black cross-country approaching. The black shiny paint was wrapped with strong iron sheets, making intrepid lines. This was Cormac’s car; she had seen it before.
Her expressions changed immediately as she shouted to Sampson, “Hurry up!”
But it was too late. Cormac stepped down on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, drifting about sixty degrees through the mud and the potholes. He stopped the car neatly at the doorway, blocking it.
Sampson’s car could not get out.
Loredana got out of the car quickly and ran to Sampson to find her son.
Recovering from the sudden shock, Sampson turned around and quickly took Samuel into his arms.
Loredana was a step late in reaching him.
“Give me back my child!” Loredana went to open the driving seat door. Sampson locked the door.
Loredana couldn’t open it; she could just look at her son through the tinted glass. She couldn’t tell if he was injured, his face seemed to be swollen.
She slapped on the window pane frantically, shaking the glass, “Sampson, get out and give me
Samuel.”
Sampson did not dare to face her; he turned his face away from the window.
“Sampson, get out. We can talk about this, just give me back my child, okay?” Loredana pleaded.
“Okay, if you want your son, then…” Maria walked over to Loredana, “You Bow to me and I will ask
Sampson to give you back your son, okay?”
Loredana was trembling all over.
“I forgot to tell you, your son was not very obedient, he tried to pull a few tricks…”
Smack!
Before she could finish speaking, Loredana slapped her hard.
The beautiful face that Maria had spent a lot of time applying makeup to was transformed in a second by Loredana into a mess.
Her false eyelashes were curled up, her hair was messed up and a lot of powder fell off her face.
Her beautiful look turned into a nightmare.
“How dare you hit me?” Maria glared at her, unable to comprehend what just happened.
Loredana was shaking with anger, her palms itching to strangle Maria to death.
Since entering the Herbert family, Maria has had a sense of superiority. She could not stand being slapped in the face.
She raised her hand to fight back.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, it was caught from behind.
She looked up and saw Cormac standing beside her. The sun was behind him, so the outline of his face shone brightly, with his face covered in shadows.
He threw her off.
She hurriedly took a few steps backwards to regain her balance.
She raised a trembling hand to feel her left cheek. The pain of being shaken off ruthlessly by Cormac was greater than that of getting slapped.
This was the man she loved deeply.
The man she wanted by using any means possible.
He was only cold and ruthless to her now.
“Cormac…”
Cormac didn’t even spare her a glance.
He reached out to hold Loredana who was shaking with anger.
Loredana looked like she would fall on the ground any moment.
She looked at Sampson in the car and begged, “Give Samuel to me, please, I beg you. you know how important he is to me. You also watched him grow up, how can you hurt him?”
Her heart ached.
It ached a lot.
Just like Garrett betrayed Maxina, and sent them mother and daughter away.
She had always thought of Sampson as a family member.
Even when he tried to do that kind of thing to her, she still thought that he had been momentarily impulsive.
He was not a bad person.
Today, she realized that she might have been wrong.
She didn’t understand him, she didn’t know what was in his heart.
“Let me go first.” Sampson didn’t let go, now he could only take Samuel away first and then discuss the rest.
But Maria couldn’t wait, she couldn’t see Cormac and Loredana together.
Especially the way Cormac was holding Loredana tenderly.
She once had this tenderness.
It was snatched away from her by Loredana!
