Chapter 22 Take Back Mr. Rowan The surrounding air instantly quieted down. Elena and Victoria looked at Samir and Alora in shock and finally looked at each other. “You… you are Mr. Rowan??” In the end, Elena frowned and boldly spoke. “Yes,” Samir said as he lightly curled his lips and placed a hand on Alora’s shoulder. Victoria was so shocked that she couldn’t even speak! How was that possible! Back then, it was precisely because she didn’t want to marry an ugly freak with a vicious personality that she had designed for Alora to marry Mr. Rowan. The rumored Mr. Rowan was a man whose face had been ruined by the fire and had a strange and cruel personality! But now, the man standing in front of them was handsome, noble, and arrogant to the point that people had to look up to him. “Hubby, you don’t know them yet.” Alora proudly held Samir’s arm and introduced with a faint smile, “These two, one is my stepmother Victoria, and the other is my stepsister Elena.” Samir raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be acquaintances.” “Since you are Alora’s family, I won’t argue with you too much.” As he spoke, the man’s gaze fell on the ten-carat diamond ring on Elena’s hand. “However, you still have to return this ring to me. This is a gift I prepared for my newlywed wife.” Elena bit her lips tightly, her hands clenched into fists by her side. This ring… should have belonged to her! This man should also belong to her!

Alora, this bitch! “Since we are all family, why do you have to be so clear about it?” Victoria quickly came over to laugh. “Mr. Rowan, you are so rich. Do you care about a mere ten-carat diamond ring?”
“Just treat it as a gift from a brother-in-law to a sister-in-law.” Alora frowned. This mother and daughter pair were really shameless! Why would a brother-in-law give a sister-in-law a ring!? It was a big diamond ring of ten carats! “Sorry.” “I don’t have the habit of giving gifts to outsiders.” Samir glanced at Victoria indifferently. “Moreover, this ring was specially prepared for my wife.” He looked at Elena calmly. “And you are not worthy.” “Why do you say that?” Elena took a step back with a pale face. “What do you think?” the man smiled faintly. Elena raised her head and met Samir’s eyes. The coldness in those bottomless eyes made Elena tremble violently! His eyes were too sharp and seemed to be able to see through all of Elena’s secrets. “I don’t understand what you mean,” she said hurriedly. “I thought Alexander made it clear to you today,” the man continued to laugh. Elena was stunned, her face ashen. She understood. Samir was doing it because of yesterday. However, didn’t Samir hate women the most, and hadn’t he even killed his last two wives? Why was he so good to Alora? “Miss Van.” “Do you still not want to return the ring?” Samir asked coldly again, Elena bit her lips. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she still took off the ring. The Van family and the others could not afford to offend Mr. Rowan! Yesterday’s matter had already reduced half of the funds that the Rowan Group had given the Van family! The ring was returned to Samir’s hand. Alora took a deep breath and her hanging heart finally settled down. She turned around and began to ask the police officer for James’ whereabouts. “Alora.” The man behind her pulled her back. Her whole body slammed into his chest. Alora covered her painful nose. Before she could speak, Samir held her hand in his palm. The man held her right hand with one hand and put the ring on her ring finger
with the other. When he put the ring on her, his movements were gentle and serious, so charming that people could not look away. Alora looked at his face and was stunned. “The bride and groom are exchanging rings!” Suddenly, a crisp child’s voice rang in his ear. Alora came back to her senses and looked towards the direction of the voice. She saw that less than two meters away from her, James was holding his phone and filming. He was smiling happily as he spoke. The surrounding policemen also began to applaud. Looking at the unfamiliar faces smiling and blessing her, Alora felt hot on her face. She was so shy that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. Suddenly, she was pulled into his arms by the man’s big hand. “Put your face on my chest, and the others won’t see your monkey-like face.” The man’s low and smiling voice sounded above her head. Alora gritted her teeth. She knew that he was laughing at her! But right now, other than lying in his arms, she had no better choice! She closed her eyes and lay in his arms, feeling the warmth that made her feel at ease. The distance between the two of them was too close, so close that she could clearly hear the rhythm of his strong heartbeat, so close that she could count his breathing. After an unknown period of time, the voices around them gradually became smaller, and the air also began to become fresh. “Mommy, how long do you want to lie in Daddy’s arms?” James’ voice sounded in her ear. The woman came back to her senses. They were already at the entrance of the police station. She hurriedly jumped down from Samir and coughed awkwardly. “Are we going home now?” “Yes.” “The matter has been resolved,” the butler said respectfully. “Since Elena is your sister, I will forgive her this time, but she must apologize publicly.” Alora nodded. This should be the best result. After all, the matter of Samir having two children could not be made public, and what Elena cared most about was reputation. Now that the matter of her deceiving and instigating a minor had exploded, she
had to personally apologize. This was enough to teach Elena a lesson. Taking a deep breath, she pulled James towards the car and said in a pleasant voice, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you!” Samir stood in place and looked at the little woman’s playful and cute appearance. He smiled faintly and said, “Did you get hurt at work today?” “No!” At the mention of today’s work, Alora was a little depressed. “I don’t know which bastard it was. Today, he suddenly gave an order to Film City that I was not allowed to be a stunt double!” “I have been a stand-in for a day and spent the whole day in the sun. The money I earned is not even half of that of a stunt double!” She clenched her fists indignantly. “I must find out which jerk is targeting me!” Samir,”…” In the police station. With the help of the police, Elena recorded the video of the apology. “It really benefited that bitch, Alora!” Coming out of the police station, Victoria complained as she walked, “If we had known that Mr. Rowan was so young and handsome, how could we have put so much effort to marry Alora?” “A ten-carat diamond ring! I feel so heartbroken now!” “This diamond ring should have belonged to my daughter, Elena!” “It’s fine, Mom.” “Since I made Mr. Rowan marry Alora, I can take Mr. Rowan back.” Elena looked ahead and narrowed her eyes slightly.
