My Lovely CEO Husband

Chapter 8 The Jackson Family

　　Only then did Samantha realize the "girl" he called was actually her. She quickly went over and picked up the bowl of medicine that Brinton had just placed on the table.

　　She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Master Falcon, the medicine is infused with a very bitter herb. If you drink it sip by sip, you would still taste the bitterness when you have your meal later. Perhaps..."

　　"I said, feed me the medicine," Henderson repeated his words coldly.

　　Samantha was so frightened that her hands nearly trembled.

　　Brinton was speechless and thought, "What's wrong with Master Falcon today? It's such a torture to drink the medicine sip by sip! And why is he treating the girl so terribly?"

　　Looking at Samantha biting her lip with a slightly aggrieved face, Brinton sighed internally.

　　Samantha's long, curly eyelashes were covering her eyes as she scooped a spoonful of the black medicine with a blue porcelain spoon. A strong bitterness wafted over her face. She wrinkled her delicate nose slightly and felt that the medicine was a little too hot. She blew at the spoon subconsciously before feeding it to Henderson.

　　Henderson took a glance at her and drank it.

　　Samantha often fed medicine to his grandfather, so she was quite skilled at it.

　　However, she didn't dare to look at Henderson in the eyes.

　　Brinton stood next to them and started to imagine the bitterness in Master Falcon's mouth as he watched him swallowed the medicine.

　　Soon, the medicine was reaching the final dregs. Samantha put down the bowl. When she didn't know what to do, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Master Falcon, Miss Jackson's family is here!"

　　Samantha was stupefied for a moment.

　　Family? Was it Yosef Jackson?

　　Henderson gave the girl a look and asked, "Do you want to go?"

　　She didn't really want to see the Jackson family, but she thought maybe her father had regretted...

　　She always kept a little hope in her heart, so she nodded.

　　Henderson said calmly, "Get someone to prepare breakfast. We'll go after breakfast."

　　Brinton was surprised but he hid his shock and just obeyed the order.

　　After Samantha had her breakfast alone, she was led to the front hall. Brinton looked at Henderson doubtfully and asked, "Master, why did you do that?"

　　Henderson knew what he really meant, and he answered casually, "She's quite cute. I'm keeping her around for some fun."

　　Brinton couldn't understand why his master would treat a nice girl like a pet, he didn't know what to say.

　　Besides, he also didn't dare to comment, he only stated, "Miss Jackson is an illegitimate daughter. It's probably not good news for the Jackson family to be here at this time."

　　Henderson paused and ordered, "Go and take a look."

　　......

　　In the front hall, Samantha's father, Yosef, her half-sister, Wynette, and stepmother Liliana were all there.

　　The Jackson family was also a well-known family with more than 100 years of history. They owned a famous pharmaceutical company in Jangley City. Yosef was an indolent and unambitious man, he inherited the company from his ancestors but he did not work hard. Therefore, Jackson Pharma had never been able to develop.

　　Liliana was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She was in her forties but aged slowly. She had put on exquisite makeup and was wearing an expensive maxi dress. She looked very dignified and had a good reputation among the rich. After all, she had accepted her husband's mistress's daughter and kept her in the family. Not everyone could be that forgiving. In front of strangers, Liliana had been a good stepmother.

　　Wynette, on the other hand, was God's favored daughter. She was good at playing the piano and dancing. She was also the campus belle in school. She looked a lot like Liliana, with a V-shaped and sculpted face. Not to mention, she was only 19 years old, a year older than Samantha. But perhaps due to being at the Falcon family's territory, her eyes had carried an inkling of caution.

　　Not only Wynette but even Liliana and Yosef themselves were also tiptoeing around the place, They did not dare take a sharper intake of breath.

　　None of the masters of the Falcon family came out to welcome them, but only a few servants. The Jackson family was not that honorable, it seemed.

　　As soon as Samantha stepped into the lobby, Yosef stood up immediately and scolded her angrily, "Why did you come so late?"

　　The hope in Samantha's heart shattered in an instant.
