Chapter 10 Samantha clutched the jewelry tightly to her chest , her wounded gaze fixed on Justin , seeking support . Menu Just as the tension peaked , Joshua strolled over with his hands in his pockets , his tall frame exuding natural poise with every unhurried step . Walking up close , he raised an eyebrow slightly , his gaze falling on Samantha . A meaningful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth as he spoke , ' Mrs. Pittman , you're so beloved . Mr. Pittman spends fortunes just to make you happy . How enviable . " His assistant immediately paled , stepping forward with a bow . " Mr . Anderson , my apologies , " the flustered man corrected . " This is Ms. Sutton , Mr. Pittman's wife . The lady beside him is his secretary . " Samantha , who had been pleased to be called " Mrs. Pittman " , felt her smile freeze on her face . Her eyes widened in disbelief at the assistant , filled with anger and frustration . She secretly cursed at this assistant for being so blind and ruining her good mood . Joshua nodded slowly , feigning sudden understanding . " My mistake, Mr. Pittman , " he said in an apologetic tone , turning to Justin . " Being new here , I assumed your secretary was your wife given how close you appeared . " Justin's already gloomy expression darkened further . Joshua's veiled insults intensified his fury , but constrained by the setting , he could only grit his teeth and mutter, " It's fine . " Emelia couldn't suppress a chuckle at Justin's humiliation . Covering her mouth delicately , her eyes sparkled with satisfaction . She marveled at how skillfully this stranger had exposed the ugly truth between Justin and Samantha clearly . Justin's face flushed with shame at Emelia's laughter . He shot Samantha a glare brimming with warning and reproach , clearly blaming her for this public disgrace . With a meaningful look , he signaled her to hand the jewelry to Emelia .
