Chapter 420
“Do you really think that if we can’t find concrete evidence of your crimes, you’ll escape
unscathed?” Cynthia asked her.
With every incident, including Mor’s bribery, Samantha managed to emerge without a hint
of guilt. If not for Cynthia’s decision to connect all the incidents and delve into some old
issues, she would have never suspected Samantha. After all, Samantha had initially struck
her as a good-hearted young woman
Samantha offered a faint smile. “I have been a law-a biding citizen all my life. I cannot
afford to wear the blame Ms. Yates is trying to place on me.”
“What if I bring this matter to Old Man Tanz’s attention? How do you think he would handle
it?” Cynthia asked, making her point very clear.
Some people, even when they knew they were guilty, could not be brought to justice due
to a lack of evidence. From a purely evidentiary perspective, Samantha was nothing more
than a bystander. However, morality and public opinion could pass judgment

their bood started to weaken, and their relationship was no longer as strong as it used to
be
“If you want to do so, then go. My brother already has his hands full with his own mess,
how would he have the time to bother with your baseless accusations?” Samantha
retorted defiantly, her gaze challenging as she looked at Cynthia.
“I hope you will feel the same way when the time comes.” Cynthia left her with that
thought.
Samantha glanced at her, grabbed her bag, and made her way out
“Wait,” Cynthia called her back
“Is there something else you want to say, Ms. Yates?”
‘Stop causing me trouble. Joshua and I are already divorced. If you continue to disregard
my warnings and create havoc, it won’t be as simple as inviting you out for coffee,”
Cynthia stated clearly.
Samantha remained silent and left the cafe, getting into her car. Once settled inside, her
cool demeanor and pretense fell away. Her face was a picture of frustration and
impatience. Only after she locked the car and closed the windows did she make a phone
call.
“Ms. Tanz, what are your instructions?” A male voice came from the other end.
“Tell them not to contact Mor anymore. He only pretended to betray Cynthia. Also, cancel
the arrangements for tomorrow.” Samantha rubbed her brow, completely taken aback by
how events had unfolded.
There was a moment of silence on the other end as if the caller had not expected things to
take such a tum. However, be complied, “Understood.”
“Have someone investigate Cynthia. I want her entire profile as soon as possible,”
Samantha ordered, feeling an unprecedented level of chaos in her mind.
“Understood.”
As the call ended, Samantha lowered her car window and reclined her seat a bit. Lying

been going so smonthly.
In order to steer suspicion away from herself, Samantha had carefully crafteil an image of
a good person in Cynthia’s eyes. When she happened to encounter Cynthia and Shirley at
the mall, she even deliberately lett Joshua with them, yet… all her efforts were in vain;
Cynthia’s suspicions remained.
Even today, when Cynthia had discussed these matters with her, Samantha assumed she
was merely trying to bluff. That was until Cynthia brought up the events of the past.
However, even though her scheme had been exposed, Samantha kept her composure.
After all, nobody knew whether Cynthia had been recording their conversation; if she had,
Samantha would be essentially incriminating herself.
