Samantha could tell from Wilfred’s tone.


Harold was the one who conspired from behind the scenes to have Adrian sent to the army as border patrol to take Paraiso away from him.


But now, Wilfred was making it sound like she was trying to take Paraiso for herself, while they were taking care of it on Henry’s behalf to protect the company.


How were they any different from crooks?


Samantha’s face was filled with tears, never expecting the Xanders to twist the truth to this extent, which was causing the people in the main hall to gossip wildly.


Seeing this, Leonard said, “Everyone, Samantha only married Adrian for my younger brother’s wealth. She had my brother killed right after she married into the family and even tried to take Paraiso.


“Paraiso belonged to my younger brother, which means it belongs to the Xanders, which is why we took it on his behalf. But now, she’s trying to use Adrian to take away our property!”


Leonard shamelessly portrayed Samantha as an ungrateful imbecile. In fact, he was enjoying it so much that he even claimed that it was Samantha who killed Henry, who died on the second day after she


married Adrian.


However, the truth was that Henry had already been suffering from a severe illness that could not be


cured.


Everyone in Swallowston only knew that Henry had died from illness, and Samantha was now being portrayed as the culprit.


Samantha was on the verge of a mental breakdown upon hearing this. There was no way she would do something as preposterous as killing her own father–in–law. In fact, she desperately hoped she could resurrect him.


If Henry were alive, she would have been able to happily go through life as his daughter–in–law and enjoy


life.


‘Would I still have to work so tirelessly if he were still alive?”


“That’s not true…” Samantha cried as she looked at Leonard at the others, unable to bring herself to say


more.


Meanwhile, Leonard and Wilfred let out cold sneers.


Cedric, who needed a cane to walk around, stepped forward and said, “You’re an evil woman, Samantha. Ever since you joined the Xanders, you’ve killed my uncle, attempted to take Paraiso for yourself, and now you’re trying to control Adrian into doing your bidding. How much more are you going to do?”


“I didn’t!” Samantha yelled.


“You know very well whether you intended to do all that or not.” Cedric scoffed.


At that point, Samantha was extremely saddened. She looked at the Xanders in a daze, not knowing what to do.


Meanwhile, the guests seemed slightly stunned.


However, right at that moment, Mandy stood up and said, “Is it true Sam’s the one who had her father– in- law killed?”

“Mandy, you mustn’t believe them. I’d never do such a thing.” Samantha cried,


Samantha and the Xanders all thought that Mandy believed everything the Xanders had said, causing Leonard to smile and say, “That’s right, Ms. Mandy. She’s the one who caused Henry’s death. We won’t let this matter slide unless she hands over New Paraiso.”


“He’s right, we’re going to hound her unless she hands it over.”


“Hand over New Paraiso or we will never let you go!”


Everyone from the Xanders had shown their true colors. They were trying to get Samantha’s newly- founded New Paraiso.


The entire scene fell into silence.


The Xanders originally thought Mandy would take their side, until she suddenly said, “You guys are all experienced veterans, so do any of you realize that it’s against the law to accuse someone of murder?”
