The bystanders posted the video, which became the hottest topic on the internet. It was in the Walton Corp. Where Alex was working and waiting for Jason.
Jason hurriedly went there and quickly said: "Bro, have you seen the news?"
Alex looked at him and continued typing at his computer, utterly oblivious to what Jason said.
Jason looked at his brother with an unbelieving gaze. He asked: "You don't know what just happened with Samantha?"
This got Alex's attention, and he said: "Show me."
Jason quickly went towards Alex and quickly went towards the social media's hottest topic. There was a video of Jessica and Samantha.
Alex furrowed his brows and just watched. He saw how Jessica mocked Samantha and how the card he gave made Samantha in the upper position. Jessica then tried to slap Samantha, but the owner did nothing.
Alex thought that the slap was the ending, but before Jessica could slap Samantha, he saw Eric stopping Jessica's hand and how he told the owner: "You did not protect my woman, and you dare ask me?"
The whole room's atmosphere turned cold, and Jason found it hard to breathe. He was looking at his brother, who looked calm with fear. He has never seen his brother liked this since the incident after high school.
Alex stood up and coldly said at Jason: "You go to your younger brother and help him in his work." before leaving and going towards the car. The assistant took leave, so Alex drove himself.

Eric dragged Samantha towards the parking lot where his assistant was waiting. He led Samantha to the car and entered himself before removing his hand from Samantha's.
Eric hugged Samantha and said: "Hello, Samantha. I have missed you."
Samantha was still in shock and only snapped back when Eric hugged her. She let Eric hug her, and she patted his back.
Eric broke the hug and said something that made Samantha reel in shock: "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Samantha's inner self is battling right now on whether or not she should answer. Eric sensed her hesitation and casually said: "No, hurries. I will be here to accompany every day, and I will make sure that I will win back your heart for hurting you four years ago."
Samantha sighed in relief when she heard that. Eric said: "I still haven't eaten yet. Can you go with me?"
Samantha nodded and thought there was no harm in doing so. They went to a restaurant that is under the Ryder Corp., and they were the only ones in the restaurant other than the staff.
They ate quietly, and Samantha kept glancing back at Eric while touching her food. There was an awkward silence, and Samantha decided to break it by asking: "How's life?"
Eric said: My life's been great. I have a successful career, and my business is now all over the world. How about you?"
Samantha decided to be honest: "I'm now a mother of a three-year-old child, and Irene has been there to support my child and me."
Eric was surprised by what she said. He asked: "Who's the father?"
Samantha answered: "I don't know. I just woke up in a motel one day, and after a month, I realized I was pregnant."
Eric just listened quietly. When he heard the story of Samantha, he felt heartache. He grabbed Samantha's hand and said: "I'm sorry, If I were here the whole time, then maybe this wouldn't have happened to you."
Samantha did not cry or even shed any tears. She said honestly: "Having Samuel has been the greatest achievement I've had. If you were here then maybe I will be all alone when you leave."
Eric did not retort. If it wasn't for him leaving, then none of this could have happened. After the conversation, the atmosphere got warmer, and they talked like the old times.
They already finished eating but did not leave their seat. Eric talked about his life overseas and how he missed her. He told her that he regretted refusing her offer back then and that he will make it up to her.
They left the restaurant and was just about to go to the car when Samantha spotted a familiar figure. Samantha saw Alex leaning on the glass of the restaurant. There were guards behind him that prevent the people from coming any closer.
Alex was looking at Samantha and Eric, and his eyes turned cold. He walked towards them and grabbed Samantha's hand. Eric was watching him, and his eyes turned cold. He grabbed the other hand of Samantha, and they were on a stalemate.
The people were stunned and started taking pictures. Samantha became embarrassed and asked Alex: "What are you doing here?"
Alex said casually: "I'm here to take my soon to be wife home."
