Chapter 1456

Sam eventually told the boys that Cordy and Zoe were helping him. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After all, he was really worried that the two wife-for-brains would move heaven and earth to find out what they were up to and mess up his plans.

Naturally, they were all teasing him, with John and Jay accusing Sam of working two pregnant women for his plan.

He certainly had to make up for it before they finally let it pass.

Most importantly, the plan was almost complete and the only thing they had to do was wait.

Marvin’s sixtieth birthday arrived soon enough, and it was a lively scene.

Though he was not trending, the media still had interest in him. He was also mentioned frequently on news and social media, and most importantly, the netizens were surprised by Sam’s sudden rise.

He was the typical freeloading rich playboy, but he somehow managed to carry Saunderia on his shoulders when everyone was convinced it would be Ryan.

As posts praising him changing his ways circulated everywhere, Ryan saw it too.

He had been in a good mood at first, since it was his father’s birthday and he could attend the banquet after working long nights in his research center.

The news, however, left him glowering.

Sam, who was so insignificant to him, was now being fawned over so many, while Ryan himself only served as the backdrop!

Ryan was left scowling even as he drove to the airport while listening to the stream reporting his dad’s birthday.

Somehow, the media was more interested in Sam than his father.

It was six in the morning, and his flight was at seven. His father’s birthday banquet would start at ten, and he called beforehand, saying he might be late.

Neither of his parents were upset about that. In fact, they told him not to hurry—it did not matter if he was late.

He always knew he had his parents’ bias and tolerance.

Now, however, it felt more like indifference rather than tolerance, because they now saw Sam in a new light.

As frustration flared inside him, he floored the gas pedal, accelerating the car.

He was not planning to drive, but taking a cab was troublesome. Since he had to be back by tomorrow as well, driving back on his own was more convenient by parking at the airport.

Still, he seemed to have forgotten that he had worked very late and basically did not sleep.

It was also very early, so there were not many cars on the highway.

He was also stubborn-even as he yawned endlessly, he refused to take a break at any of the rest stops. Instead, he accelerated further to keep himself awake.

That was when a stray dog suddenly scampered across the highway.

Ryan was just spacing out when he saw the moving figure. His mind seemed to freeze, and he suddenly jammed his foot on the brakes and spun the steering wheel, turning the car’s nose in on itself.

At the next instant, another car that had been driving at top speed slammed right into his car with a resounding crash!

Meanwhile, Marvin and Lindsay had woken up early in the morning and were happily getting ready to head to the hotel.
