Chapter 44
If Jayden dared to get any closer, Isabella would definitely pin him to the ground and give him a beating.
Ivana was shocked.
Ivana quickly concealed her anger and hastily explained. She said, “Isabella, what are you saying?” However, her voice was full of shyness.
A cold smirk crept into Ivana’s mind. At least that spiteful Isabella knew her place.
But everyone understood what Ivana meant.
Luna was shocked as she looked at Isabella, Isabella used to like Jayden so much, but today she not only distanced herself from Jayden but also refused to play his game.
Luna thought it was unbelievable.
Jayden’s eyes narrowed slightly because Isabella made her angry
In just a moment, Jayden composed himself, glanced at the crowd with a sigh, and said, “Well, I’m sorry. Bella is still mad at me, so I can’t exactly kiss other women.”
The crowd suddenly lost interest. So after all that, these two still have something going on.
It looked like the lover’s spat.
Ivana could barely keep her emotions in check.
Ivana thought, ‘What a bitch, Isabella!”
Ivana was furious.
Ivana thought, Isabella deliberately mentioned how much I liked Jayden in front of everyone. Isn’t it obvious to everyone that she’s better than me? Otherwise, why wouldn’t Jayden kiss me even after Bella rejected him?
Jayden picked up his drink from the table and downed it in one go as if punishing himself. Yet Jayden’s gaze at Isabella was as cold and harsh as ever.
At this moment, in front of the bustling bar, a top–tier luxury car pulled up slowly. The door opened, and a pair of long legs stepped out.
Samuel wore a cold expression, his demeanor giving off a chill that kept people at a distance. Without saying a word, he pressed his lips together and let his icy gaze sweep across the flickering lights of the bar.
Inside the bar, the blaring music was so loud it made hearts pound with its rhythm.
With a slight furrow of his sharp eyebrows, Samuel kept his patience and headed toward the innermost private room. He was meeting up with some friends today.
As Samuel reached the private room’s entrance, the door opened from the inside before Samuel could even touch the doorknob.
Samuel’s steps came to a halt..
A bright smile spread across Charles‘ handsome face. When he saw that Samuel, joy sparkled in his clear eyes.
Charles lunged forward with excitement and shouted, “Mr. Howerton, I’ve been waiting for you to show up.”
Charles had been trying to arrange a meeting with Samuel for ages, but he never managed to get Samuel out.
Samuel withdrew his hand and placed his fingers on Charles‘ forehead, pushing him away without hiding the disdain in his
eyes.
Samuel said, “Stand further back.”

Chapter 44
Charles, dressed in a jacket, looked quite cool, but in front of Samuel, he was surprisingly obedient.
Charles‘ appearance was entirely at odds with his personality.
This seemingly unreliable guy Charles was one of the country’s top heart surgeons.
So many patients wanted to see him, but his appointments were always fully booked.
Charles grinned as he looked at Samuel but didn’t step forward again.
Charles quickly turned around, opened the door to the private room, bent over while nodding, and cheerfully greeted Samuel, “Mr. Howerton, welcome!”
Samuel glanced at Charles before walking into the room with a measured pace.
Inside the private room, there were four men already seated. Seeing how lively Charles was, they began to tease. “Charles, your waiter skills are lacking here. Where’s the girl you promised?”
Charles glared at the guy and replied with righteous indignation. “Come on. I’m a doctor and a role model. What are you talking about?”
Charles replied as his eyes instinctively flicked towards Samuel.
Samuel hated this stuff at bars, and the group was deliberately messing with Charles.
No one believed Charles. Their laughter and playful banter filled the room.
Henry lounged casually on the couch, holding a glass tumbler loosely in his long, slender fingers, exuding a laid–back vibe.
Henry’s captivating eyes twinkled with amusement as he watched them joke around.
Wearing a high–fashion Chanel suit, Henry didn’t seem effeminate at all, instead, it highlighted his unmatched elegance, just like a charming gentleman straight out of a comic book.
Henry’s look would be considered top–tier even in the entertainment industry.
In the entertainment industry, Henry was the one everyone idolized, but he was not a star. Henry was the CEO of Radiant Film who controlled half of the entertainment industry.
Samuel sat down beside Henry, and Henry looked at Samuel and asked, “What made you decide to come out today?”
Normally, when the guys asked Samuel to hang out, he never came.
The others said, “Yeah, Mr. Howerton, you’re becoming a homebody. We can’t get you to come out no matter what. Every time we call to invite you out, you are either at work or relaxing at home.”
Samuel sat with his legs crossed, took the wine glass Charles handed over, and said slowly, “I got married. My wife has me on a short leash.”
Charles dropped the bottle, and it shattered with a loud crash,
Everyone looked at Samuel in shock, and even Henry’s charming eyes were full of surprise.
Charles shrieked and asked, “Did I just hear that right?”
Charles quickly looked at the others and seeing their expressions just like his, and Charles was sure he hadn’t heard it wrong. Charles asked, “Mr. Howerton, y–you’re married?
-Charles was so shocked he started stammering, couldn’t even finish a sentence, nearly biting his tongue.
It was like a bombshell dropped on them, leaving their minds blown.
Samuel’s cold gaze landed on Charles as he said calmly, “I can’t get married?”
A sentence from Samuel was enough to shock everyone at present instantly.
Charles scratched his head and was stunned. He quickly explained and said, “You never mentioned dating anyone, and then
Chapter 44
suddenly you’re getting married…
Charles thought, Who wouldn’t be curious about that?”
Charles‘ eyes fell on Samuel, and Charles‘ handsome face slowly grew into a smile as he asked, “Mr. Howerton, who’s the lucky lady?*
Charles was dying of curiosity. He thought, Who on earth could tame Samuel?
Although the others didn’t speak, they were all eagerly waiting for Samuel’s answer.
Samuel glanced up, giving Charles a brief look but said nothing.
Charles rubbed the tip of his nose and thought, ‘Alright, it seems like I’m not getting any answers here.”
No matter how curious Charles was, he could only hold it back, thinking that he could make a trip to Samuel’s villa someday, and then Charles would know who Samuel’s wife was.
With this plan in mind, Charles became excited again.
Meanwhile, Henry’s charming eyes landed on Samuel, and Henry asked, “You got married without a wedding?” Samuel’s gaze was deep, his long legs crossed, and he replied casually. “We’ll talk about that later.”
Several rounds of the game had been played in Isabella’s private room, and the excitement was at an all–time high. Luna clapped her hands gently above her head, signaling everyone to quiet down. “Alright, let’s move on to the next round.” Everyone’s eyes were fixated on the bottle on the table…
“Let’s see who’s next?” With Luna’s words, the bottle spun and finally stopped in front of Kevin.
Kevin, dressed in a sharp suit, sat on the couch. His perfect, handsome face, deep–set eyes, and refined features were striking. Kevin seemed surprised to be chosen by the bottle, with slight astonishment showing on his handsome face.
Luna crossed her arms, her smiling gaze resting on Kevin, and asked, “Well, Kevin, truth or dare?”
