Chapter 459: My Date

Samantha’s POV:

“I must agree that your plan was quite thorough. However, it’s a pity that it barely caused any damage
to Caroline.” I let out a deep sigh.

“If Charles hadn’t intervened, Adam would’ve gotten it!” Raina’s eyes flashed with resentment and
disbelief.

I chuckled at her response and took out a new phone from my bag.

“You already have my contact information on the business card I gave you earlier, right? You can use
this phone for the time being.” After leaving the hotel, I received a message from Caroline.

“Samantha, I’d like to invite you to my birthday party.”

“This is my chance!I put away my phone and drove to the Moore mansion.Alice was the one who
opened the door for me. I bowed to her politely and introduced myself.

“Good evening, Mrs. Moore! I’m Samantha Hoffman, Charles

Alice’s eyes lit up. She then led me into the house with a huge smile.

When I entered the master bedroom, I saw Charles picking out a suit.

He was standing in front of the mirror, holding two sets of suits and comparing them carefully.

“Samantha? What are you doing here?” he asked, visibly confused.

“I just received an invitation from Caroline. She said that she wants me to attend her party. However,
I’m new to LA, and you’re the only person I’m familiar with. Do you mind if I go with you tomorrow
night?” I asked.



“I didn’t get an invitation,”

Charles replied, lowering his gaze and looking disappointed. His response left me stunned, and I
couldn’t help but chuckle to myself.

‘‘Even God is practically helping me! I must seize this chance and make good use of it,’’ I thought.

“How about you come to the birthday party with me as my date? I don’t think Caroline will get mad at
me for that,” I suggested. “Really? Thank you!” Charles nodded in agreement as he gave me a smile.

“You’re welcome!”

‘‘This is exactly what I wanted,’’ I thought to myself.

Charles picked up the suits again and frowned.

“Which of these two suits do you think is better for me?”

“The black one,” I replied.

After taking one more look at each suit, he decided to wear the black one.

The black suit accentuated his perfect figure. Just staring at his handsome face made my heart race
uncontrollably. I stared at him, wishing that I could just look at him forever. Charles was looking at
himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

“You’re right. This is the one!” he remarked.

My heart skipped a beat.

Though I looked calm on the surface, I was actually swooning already.



“He actually went with my suggestion!’

“How about you come to the birthday party with me as my date? I don’t think Caroline will get mad at
me for that,” I suggested.

“Really? Thank you!” Charles nodded in agreement as he gave me a smile.

“You’re welcome!”

“This is exactly what I wanted,’ I thought to myself.

Charles picked up the suits again and frowned.

“Which of these two suits do you think is better for me?”

“The black one,” I replied.

After taking one more look at each suit, he decided to wear the black one. The black suit accentuated

My heart skipped a beat. Though I looked calm on the surface, I was actually swooning already.

‘He actually went with my suggestion!’

“The suit is perfect for you. Caroline will certainly be drawn by your charms,” I commented.

“I sure hope so.” Charles put on a smile. His smile dazzled me. It took me a while before I managed to
gather my composure. At this time, James opened the door and came in. He held onto Charles’ leg and



said, “Daddy, I also want to come to Mommy’s birthday party! I have a gift for her!”

“James, I’m bringing Mommy home this time. You just wait here at home for us.” Charles ruffled the
boy’s hair and comforted him in a soothing voice.

“For real?” James’ eyes lit up.

“Of course, son,” Charles responded with confidence.

“James, your mom and dad are going to make up. Soon, they’ll be back together!” I chimed in.

Charles gave me a look to say that he was grateful.

The following night, I carefully picked a dress which I thought would match his suit before going to the
party in the same car as Charles.

I was actually quite nervous to be in such a small space with him. I swallowed, glancing at him from the
corner of my eye.

Even though he wasn’t saying anything, it was hard to ignore his presence. We were sitting in the
backseat, side by side and only a small gap was between us. If I moved even a little, I would be skin to
skin with him. My heart was beating like a drum. It almost felt like my heart would leap from my chest
the next second.

“Thanks for doing this, Samantha,” said Charles. I shook my head and smiled.

“No thanks necessary. Honestly, by doing this, you’re helping me too!”

Charles sighed heavily.

“You know, I didn’t expect that I’d have to attend Caroline’s birthday party like this.”



“Perhaps she still hasn’t let go of the past. The only thing you can do is to try harder,” I said in an
attempt to encourage him.

“You’re right. I’ll try my very best.” Charles nodded firmly.

“Oh! I almost forgot. Here you go.” I took out the photos from my bag and handed them to Charles.

“Where did you get these?” he asked, looking sullen.

“I got them from Raina. She was planning to send those to Caroline.”

Then, I played an audio recording to Charles.

In it Raina admitted that she and Adam worked together to ruin Caroline’s reputation by using the
public opinion on the Internet.

“That damn fool!” Charles gripped the photos; his eyes were filled with bloodlust.

“Raina isn’t going to give up easily. You need to keep a closer look on her, lest she makes trouble
again,” I advised.

“Samantha, thanks for telling me everything,” Charles responded.

“You’re more than welcome. It’s really nothing!” I shook my head and smiled while rubbing the ring
inside my purse. •

Caroline’s POV:

My birthday party was about to begin. I changed my dress and started putting on make-up. Just then, I
heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from outside. My eyes lit up. I immediately lifted the hemline of
my dress and walked out of the room.



“Dad!”

My father came over along with Olivia, followed by Simon.

“Caroline, darling, you look absolutely incredible! I’m sure you’re going to dazzle everyone who sees
you,” Dad remarked.

“Of course!” I smiled at him and held his arm.

Olivia put on a fake smile and handed me something.

“Happy birthday, Caroline! This is my gift for you.” I looked at her gift and saw that it was a bunch of
children’s products.

“Thank you.” I put on a smile and accepted it.

“I sincerely hope that you and your kids can reunite as soon as possible.” Even though Olivia sounded
sincere, I could see in her eyes that she didn’t mean it. My face turned grim at once. However, Dad was
here, so I didn’t let my temper get the better of me.

“Simon, why don’t you take the first dance with Caroline tonight?” Dad whispered and winked at
Simon. The latter nodded and gave him a smile.

“What are you two hiding from me?” I asked curiously.

“Nothing.” They shook their heads in response. Since they clearly weren’t going to answer my question,
I decided to drop the topic.

Once I was finished with my makeup, we all left the villa together and were ready to go to the docks.
All of a sudden, Adam appeared. Behind him were several strong looking men. I immediately became
vigilant.



“What are you doing here, Adam?” Dad stood in front of me to protect me.

“Edward, you’re back! Well, I’m here for Caroline’s birthday party.” Adam wore a fake smile.

“I have no plans of inviting you. Leave. Now,” I commanded,

“Caroline, don’t act so high and mighty. You still have no idea, do you, Edward? Your good daughter is
a murderer: Adam roared.

He was glaring at me with all the hatred he could muster.

“Shut the hell up!” Simon clenched his fists, intending to charge towards Adam. However, I immediately
stopped him.

“Simon, no. Don’t do anything reckless.”

“Adam. I’warning you, don’t ever do anything stupid again. Otherwise, I’m going to sever all ties with
you and kick you out of the Wilson Group for good!” My father warned, trying to suppress his anger.
