Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 1003

"Lately, the reporters have noticed that the Thompson residence has been decorated more lavishly than during New Year's the past few days. As far as we all know, Mr. Thompson Senior's birthday falls on January 15.

"However, he's known to be rather frugal and usually won't host a large birthday banquet. It seems that he'll be going all out for his 98th birthday this year. After interviewing one of the maids, we've learned that Mr. Thompson Senior will be announcing something huge on his birthday."

At that moment, the sounds of the newscaster reporting on TV drifted from the living room. Hearing that made Samantha set down the vegetables instantly. She walked out of the kitchen and watched the news on TV from afar.

"Many netizens have speculated that it's most likely the announcement of Mr. Shaun's wedding that has Mr. Thompson Senior so excited."

Samantha was slightly taken aback as she watched Shaun's picture pop up on TV. No wonder he hadn't shown up in the past few days. He had already returned to Jadonia and was getting ready for his engagement.

A bitter feeling suddenly rose within her.

Hera was a liar for saying that Shaun still had feelings for Samantha. What feelings? He was getting engaged to some other woman.

The newscaster continued, saying, "As for his fiancée, many reporters have recently snapped photos of Mr. Shaun hanging out with a lady, so it hasn't been a surprise. His fiancée is most likely…"

"Oh, it didn't take him long to find a new woman, and they're already getting engaged!" Millie also came over to watch the news. Since she was Jadonian, she often watched the news on TV related to Jadonia.

At that moment, she noticed the odd expression on Smanatha's face. Based on Millie's life experience, she finally knew why Samantha hadn't dated anyone in the past five years. Samantha was still in love with Shaun.

However, based on Shaun's and Samantha's identities, they would never have a happy ending unless one of them was willing to give up their last name for the other. Otherwise, they wouldn't have broken up back then.

Instead of letting Samantha lose herself in her misery, it was better for her to find a new boyfriend and fall in love. By doing so, she would be able to let go of her past.

Jameson came over for dinner. Initially, Millie wanted them to watch a movie together to give them a chance to build up their relationship.

However, Samantha rejected the notion. "Next time. I'm slightly tired and wish to return to my room to rest."

Millie didn't want to force things. Jameson could also tell that Samantha seemed bothered that night and was rather distracted. Hence, he didn't push his luck and asked her to rest well for the night. Instead, he decided to ask her out some other day.

…

Meanwhile, Alex was at the Thompson residence. "Where's Shaun?"
