Chapter 82

Samantha’s body stiffened. She then
raised her head in shock and glared at
Nicole angrily. Her voice was shrill and
harsh.
“Nicole! Are you crazy?”
The two young ladies next to Samantha
were also mad at Nicole and tried to
stand up for Samantha.

“Nicole, don’t you know where this is? Do
you even deserve to be here?”
“That’s right! You’re not welcome here! I’ll
get the security guards to kick you out!”
Nicole did not care for these two idiots
and stared at Samantha coldly. “You
didn’t think of this scenario when you
slandered me?”

Samantha was stubborn. “Who slandered
you? Everyone knows what you did!”
Nicole hooked her lips and pushed
Samantha back to a wall with one hand.
When Samantha tried to struggle, Nicole
put one arm across her neck and said in a
in extremely cold voice, “Samantha Lindt,
you should own up to your actions. I
prepared a big return gift for you.”



Samantha saw disdain in Nicole’s eyes.
The corners of her lips trembled as she
lowered her voice and said, “The
recording with Chairman Zeller doesn’t
mean anything. Anyone will encounter
such things in the workplace, so this

won’t hurt me. Nicole, you’ll never get rid
of me as a rival!”
Nicole withdrew her gaze and raised her
eyebrows. “Oh? But you’re not even
qualified to be my rival.”

As soon as Nicole finished her sentence, a shocked cry suddenly came from the banquet hall. “Isn’t that
Samantha Lindt?!” “That’s Samantha Lindt from Stanton Corporation! She’s been mingling in our circle
lately…” “Who’s that? That’s Micah Zielinski, right? Mrs. Zielinski, isn’t that your husband?”

Soon after, they heard intermittent voices coming from the banquet hall. Samantha’s face instantly turned
glum. She panicked and asked, “What did you do?” “Tsk tsk… Whoever told you that I only have one
recording of you?” Nicole took a step back. “Go check out your gift…” Samantha ran out, but before she
could



see what was going on, she was slapped hard in the face. “Ahh!” “You homewrecker! How dare you
seduce my husband? Shameless b*tch! You incited me to help you spread rumors about Nicole but you
stabbed me in the back? I’ll beat you to death today…”

A woman dressed in expensive and



extravagant clothes yelled as she angrily
charged at Samantha. No one nearby
tried to stop the fight.
Nicole laughed. When she arrived earlier,
she had already spotted Micah Zielinski’s
wife. ‘She’s just as hot-tempered as they
say!
Samantha was beaten and did not dare
to fight back. She only covered her face
and whimpered wretchedly.



Overhead on the big projector was an unseemly video of Samantha Lindt and Micah Zielinski with their
bodies entangled in the car. The people around started to watch the show. Nicole smiled and turned to
look at the shocked faces of the two young ladies behind her.

“Now, it’s your turn.” Those two young ladies were shocked as they just found out that Samantha was not
a good person. However, they did not

think that Nicole was any better and did
not fear her.
“What do you want to do? Why hasn’t the
security guard come yet? Even if
Samantha Lindt isn’t a good person and
has wronged you, it doesn’t mean that
you’re innocent either!”



“Whether I’m a good person or not is none of your business. Didn’t your families teach you basic
manners not to talk behind people’s backs?” Nicole smirked at them. “What right do you have to tell us
what to do? Security!” One of them started shouting impatiently. Coincidentally, someone walked over
from a distance.

The handsome man with charming eyes and extremely sexy lips said, “Why are you calling for security?”
“Second Young Master Carter! This woman was being rude to us. She even fought with Samantha Lindt
just now. You have to protect us…” Another woman spoke. They thought that lan Carter, who was a
distinguished Young Master of an

affluent family, was just like them and would surely be on their side. lan glanced at them and grunted,
then said in a cold tone. “You asked for it.” He then reached out to hold Nicole’s hand and looked at it
with heartache ashe chided her in an aggrieved tone. “Why didn’t you call me to fight for you? How could
you hurt your own hands by beating people up personally?”
