Chapter 3
Isabella jerked her head up and looked fixedly at the handsome young man who was related to her. He
had at mocking smile hovering around his lips.
For some reason, she found the whole situation very absurd and hilarious.
She let out loose a laugh.
With a slight nod, she pulled open the door and got into the car. There were indeed things that she
needed to make clear to the Lang family.
A trace of bewilderment flashed across the young man’s face, but the next second, he took on a derisive
expression again and didn’t say anything.
The driver took out his phone and called the Thompson family. Before long, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and
Samantha walked out together.
When the three of them got into the car, they were surprised
to see Isabella there too. Mrs. Thompson gaped and asked,
“Bella, what are you doing here?”
Isabella closed her eyes tiredly and replied, “I was on my
way back and ran into Mr. Lang.”
Mrs. Thompson frowned a little. She had expected Isabella to be on that old man’s bed now. “It doesn’t
matter. She has
slept with him. That is all that matters,” she thought.
Mrs. Thompson then moved her eyes to Jason and said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Lang, we dote on Bella a lot.
Please don’t blame her if she said or did anything improper.”
Before any preliminaries, she implied that Bella was a spoiled girl who didn’t know how to act
appropriately.
Isabella’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered, and her pale lips. curled into a sarcastic tilt. The emotions in her
eyes were
unreadable.
She never knew that Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had ever doted

“I won’t,” Jason answered.
He was cold by nature, but he tried to be nice because it was Samantha’s biological mother he was
speaking to.
Mrs. Thompson said nothing more. She did not pay attention to Isabella and naturally did not take in her
mocking smile.
But Samantha was different. She had been stealing glances
at Isabella since she got into the car.
When she saw Isabella’s face, which looked very similar to Mrs. Lang’s, she felt like a bucket of ice–cold
water had been poured over her head and chilled her to the bone.
Mrs. Lang had not met Isabella yet. Samantha wondered whether Mrs. Lang would waver after seeing
Isabella’s face, which closely resembled hers.

Samantha silently clenched her fists. “Why? Why am I not my mother’s biological daughter?” she asked
inside.
If she were the real daughter of the Lang family, she wouldn’t be so ill at ease at that moment.
She had thought that Isabella was just a stupid ordinary girl, but that mocking smile on Isabella’s face
just now proved her wrong and inexplicably disturbed her.
The car headed to where the Lang family lived. In the hall of the Lang family’s mansion, the atmosphere
was somber.
Ethan Lang was the head of the Lang family and the chairman of the Lang Group. He was over 50 years
old, but his healthy lifestyle made him look in his early forties.
Mrs. Lang looked even younger than him. She was in good shape and had an elegant air about her.
People who didn’t know her wouldn’t be able to tell that she was a mother of two.
Ethan said, “No matter what, she is our flesh and blood. So it’s just a matter of having one more person
living with us.”
Mrs. Lang was apparently having a tough time accepting her new daughter. “What about Sammy? What
will Sammy think if we take that girl in?” she shouted.
She had taken Sammy as her own daughter all the time and loved her with her whole heart. Sammy had
been brilliant since young and Mrs. Lang didn’t know any girl sweeter than her.
To Mrs. Lang, Isabella was just a girl she had never met. She wouldn’t be able to treat Isabella and
Samantha equally.
Moreover, she still considered Samantha as her daughter.
Ethan was quiet for a moment. Deep down, he shared his wife’s feelings.
However…
“She has the Lang family’s bloodline, after all. We can’t just
ignore her existence.”
Mrs. Lang replied quickly, “That’s easy.
“Give her some money to buy property in the most prosperous area of the city. We can also give her a
dowry in the future. She won’t be able to earn so much money in her whole life. That can be our
compensation to her.
“In short, I won’t let her take anything away from Sammy!
“If she dares to harm Sammy, she won’t get a single dime!” Mrs. Lang said fiercely, her pretty face
contorted a little by at protective expression.
Ethan was about to say something when Jason and the
others walked in.
“Dad. Mom.”
Jason called out to remind them of their arrival.
They had walked in on Mrs. Lang saying those words.
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson’s eyes glinted with slyness, and they heaved a sigh of relief. They could tell that
Mrs. Lang cared for their daughter very much.
They were relieved to know that Isabella wouldn’t be able to
replace Sammy in the Lang family.

Isabella looked utterly unperturbed.
She had anticipated the attitude of her biological parents
and was thus not disappointed at all.
She just wanted to see how far the Lang family and the Thompson family would go for Samantha.
Isabella lowered her gaze with an indifferent expression.
Mrs. Lang was stunned at the sight of her.
She stared at Isabella’s face, speechless from shock. “She looks so much like me!” she thought.
However, when she thought that Isabella had been raised in an ordinary family and grown into an
ordinary girl with a sullen and reserved personality, she felt so exasperated.
Like now, she expected isabella to do more than just stand
there in silence.
“She should at least say hi. She has no manners!” she remarked in her heart.
Mrs. Lang took a deep breath to calm herself down and noticed that Isabella’s mood wasn’t any better
than hers.
Ethan also felt mixed feelings when he saw Isabella’s face, which bore a 70 percent resemblance to her
wife’s face and 30 percent to his.
He couldn’t help but feel disappointed when Isabella remained silent.
Samantha was way more tactful than her.
“Mom!”
At that moment, Samantha called out softly.
Mrs. Lang came back to her senses after hearing her daughter’s gentle voice and immediately cast her a
loving look. Seeing Samantha’s graceful posture and thinking. about how she excelled in every aspect of
her life, Mrs. Lang. finally looked less glum.
When she detected sorrow in Samantha’s eyes, her heart throbbed for her.
“Sammy, come here. You don’t look well.”
Mrs. Lang waved at Samantha, and the latter obediently walked over to her. Mrs. Lang grabbed her
hands with at concerned face and was surprised by their coldness. “Sammy, why are your hands so
cold?”
“Mom…” Samantha buried her face in her mother’s shoulder like she had done as a child and continued
with a choked voice, “I came back to say goodbye to you and Dad. I…”
“Sammy!” Mrs. Lang’s expression changed dramatically, and she interrupted Samantha in a panic.
Ethan got flustered too.
