Chapter 291
“Wow!” The little ones stared at Sam, who had just arrived, their eyes widening in amazement.
Before Nina could introduce Sam to the little ones, Sam greeted them without being asked, saying, “Hello, kids. My name is Sam, and I’m Nina’s friend. You can call me Sammy.”
“Sam?”
Neymar, who was one of the three mischievous children, blinked. Then, he covered his mouth and held back his laughter. “Sammy, why did your family give you this name? It sounds like Samwich.”
This little one was more or less somewhat impolite.
However, Sam did not mind. She readily ignored Neymar’s teasing and even replied with a smile, “Right? I also think this name sounds like Samwich. My family has teased about it the same way too.”
Another mischievous kid asked, “Eh? Sammy, how come your family teased you as well? Didn’t they give you this name?”
Unconcerned about what they might think, Sam responded by steering away from the more serious part and addressing the less important part instead, saying, “It wasn’t given by my family. I was kidnapped by human traffickers and just got home this year. The name was given to me by an outsider.”
“Huh? Then you’re so pitiful… I’m sorry. I spoke out of turn.”
“It’s okay. Although I was kidnapped by human traffickers, I’ve also gained many people who are very important to me.*
“Oh. Well, that’s pretty good.”
Sam chuckled. “I think so too.”
Charlie and Gabriel were stunned.
They looked at Sam in a daze, thinking, ‘We’ve got to hand it to Sam. She’s got real social skills, and she can strike up a conversation with anyone, even having a back–and–forth with these brats who are neither fully grown nor very young.‘
Nina could also get along with these brats, but that was because her mental age was still pretty young. Besides, she herself had a childlike mindset, so she could play along with them.
On the other hand, Sam could chat with anyone, regardless of age or gender. She could even interact with a dog when it passed by.
The little ones had a very good impression of Sam, probably because of her straightforward and cheerful nature. Before long, they started calling her “Sammy.”
They gathered around Sam and asked, “Sammy, can you stay at Nina’s place for a few more days?”
Sam said to the little ones regretfully, “I’m afraid I can’t. I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“Huh? So soon? When will you be able to come back again?”
“I’m not sure. But if I come to see Nina again, I’ll get her to inform you guys.”
“Alrighty. Nina, you have to let us know when Sammy comes.”
“No problem,” Nina said, patting her chest. Then, she looked at Sam and asked, “Sammy, you’re leaving tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” Sam said. “I just stopped by to see you all on my way. By the way, there’s something I need to let you guys know in a

bit.”
“What is it?” Nina asked.
Sam giggled. “I’ll tell you in a bit.”

Noticing that Sam was acting mysteriously, the little ones knew that this was a secret that they could not hear. Although the three mischievous kids were curious, they had learned how to observe people’s expressions from Abbie. They thought, ‘If someone doesn’t want to talk about something, we shouldn’t ask casually, or it’ll just annoy them.
‘We like Sammy, so we won’t do anything to make things difficult for her.’
Judging from Sam’s tone, Charlie and Gabriel figured that there was more to Sam coming to see Nina than met the eye. They reckoned that Sam wanted to tell them something. Upon exchanging a glance, they said to Sam, “Sam, let’s talk upstairs.”
“Alright,” Sam said as she nodded. She then told the little ones, “Be good and play downstairs for now. We’ll talk upstairs. Once we’re done, we’ll play with you guys.”
“Got it,” the kids said. “Sammy, go upstairs with Nina, Charlie, and Gabriel. We won’t eavesdrop.”
Sam chuckled. “Good kiddos.”
Once they got upstairs, Nina leaned in, linked her arm with Sam’s, and asked excitedly, “Sam, what’s the thing you want to tell us?”
Sam’s expression became a little more serious. She glanced around her friends and asked, “Do you guys know Sanya’s situation?”
“Sanya?”
Upon hearing that, they exchanged a glance, then shook their heads one after another.
Nina thought for a moment and said, “Now that you mention it, out of all nine of us war machines, Sanya is the only one who hasn’t contacted me. I wonder how she’s doing now. By the way, Sam, why are you suddenly asking about Sanya?”
Sam’s expression was slightly solemn. She sighed and said, “I’m a little worried about that girl. As you all know, her thoughts have always been a little crazy. Plus, she never treats people as humans and is very good at manipulating people’s emotions. I’m worried that she’d cause trouble.”
Nina said, “Mm–hmm… Indeed, Sanya likes to cause trouble, but it should be fine, right? If Sanya really wants to cause trouble, her supervisor will definitely report it. When Clifford finds out, he will surely let us know.”
However, Charlie did not agree with Nina’s viewpoint. He lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought, and said, “Not necessarily. The reason we were assigned to our respective families by the higher–ups this time was because of Sanya, right?
“The son of a high–ranking official was charmed by her and later died because of her. That official was furious and wanted to get rid of war machines. However, the conservatives decided to let us go home and be reformed by our family, which led to the current situation.
“If Sanya wants to cause trouble and use the same trick to charm her supervisor, Clifford is very likely unable to get any firsthand information.”
Sam nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I’m worried about too. Actually, I bumped into Sanya not long ago by chance. She was attending a dinner party with her family. This wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary.
“But the key point was that I noticed that Sanya’s family had a somewhat odd attitude toward her. They were quite obsessive.

At that time, a few of them even fought with another person over her. I know that person.

“He’s the brother of the man who died for her, and he’s holding an important position in the organization. The scene caused quite a stir at the dinner party. I called Sanya aside and asked her what was going on.
“That girl just grinned and told me that things were fine. I sensed that something was off. After all, whenever Sanya says things are fine, there must be huge problems.”
When Nina heard this, she could not help but click her tongue and say, “Wow! Sanya’s life is too exciting. It feels like her relationships are all over the place.”
Charlie began to feel stressed. “This Sanya really loves causing trouble,” he said. “Her family, acting like they’re possessed, fought with the other son of that high–ranking official for her sake.
“What does she want to do? Causing the death of one son isn’t enough, and now she also wants to cause the death of the other son of that high–ranking official, huh?”
