Chapter 270: A Fierce Fight
This was a high-end gym in City A. Most of its customers were rich people from the upper class, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford this place.
Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Joey showed up in the gym. This was the first time she had come to this gym, but she was already buying an expensive VIP card as if she had decided to become its regular customer in the future. Of course, Joey did this for a reason: Samantha came to this gym frequently.
Samantha couldn't live her own life until Taylor died. She began to go out and contact with the outside world. The gym was undoubtedly a healthy place for all ages.
Joey thought staging an accidental encounter was a long shot, but to her surprise, she ran into Samantha the first time she came to the gym.
When Joey saw Samantha in the large gym, Samantha was running hard on a treadmill. For years, she had lived a comfortable life with everything provided. Although she still kept a slender and well-proportioned body shape, she was not as strong as those people who would do physical work on a daily basis. After running for only a few minutes, she started gasping and sweating. Nevertheless, she kept running stubbornly.
Looking at Samantha's tender and fair-skinned face, Joey found it hard to believe that she was already in her forties. She was more like a beautiful young woman in her early thirties. She was mature, charming, as if a rose that bloomed to its brightest. She was so attractive that all the men around peeped at her involuntarily.
Joey did not immediately go forward to strike up a conversation with Samantha. Instead, she leaned against a large pillar and quietly looked at Samantha for a long time.
So, this was her mother, her biological mother!
But why couldn't she find any similarities between them from that young and pretty face?
Apart from their heights of more than 1.7 meters, which was something to be proud of, she didn't take after Samantha at all.
Just as Joey was absent-minded, a slightly fat figure suddenly rushed in from the outside and ran straight up to Samantha, who was running on the treadmill. Before anyone could react, the person grabbed Samantha by the hair from behind and dragged her to the ground. Then, she sat on the back of Samantha's waist to contain her. Samantha could no longer move.
Having held Samantha down, the middle-aged woman, who was dressed luxuriously but had a ferocious look, started to curse loudly. "Bitch, I finally catch you! You lost your husband, and you just seduced someone else's. How shameless you are!"
The woman also waved her hand to the people around and shouted loudly, "Everyone, come and take a look. Look at this bitch under me. Her husband has only been dead for over a month, and she has already started to seduce my husband. Do you think she deserves to be beaten up?"
Some of the people tried to stand up for Samantha, but when they heard that, they stopped immediately. Everyone looked at her with contempt. Some of the women even started to criticize her loudly, saying that such a shameless mistress should be beaten to death in this
era.
Samantha had used up almost all of her strength on the treadmill. Being restrained, she had no strength to fight back. She was anxious, annoyed, and outraged, but she couldn't do anything about it. She just cried, "Let go of me. Let go of me ..."
Before she could finish, the fierce woman grabbed her hair to pull up her head and banged it on the floor heavily. Instantly, her head started bleeding, and she began to see stars.
This all happened so fast. Joey, who was not far away, was so shocked that she forgot to go forward and stop that woman.
Joey was shocked that Samantha had been beaten up, and even more shocked that it was Paige who had beaten Samantha up.
Paige was already over fifty years old. Even though she spent great effort on skincare, she couldn't cover the wrinkles of age. Moreover, she was a little overweight. Compared to Samantha, who was only six or seven years younger than her, she looked old enough to be Samantha's mother. Joey had never thought that Samantha would get involved with the Charles family. Just now, Paige seemed to have accused Samantha of seducing George.
At the thought of George, Joey gritted her teeth in hatred. She would never forget how George had caused her to lose her child.
At this moment, regardless of whether what Paige had said was true or not, Joey would never watch her bully Samantha like that.
Joey never liked Paige. When she lived with the Charles family those days, Page had bullied her and put her through so much. In addition, Samantha was her biological mother, after all. Although this mother had abandoned her since she was young, the strange thing was that she did not hate her. Maybe because of all the things that had happened over these years, she had suffered too much to spare any energy to hate one more person.
Hence, Joey pushed the crowd out of her way and rushed over without hesitation.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
