Chapter 227 Psychological Warfare
Reggle cursed through gritted teeth as his face was pressed into the muddy ground, with Sammel’s foot hovering above him. “Damn it! If you’ve got the guts, just finish me off now! Otherwise, I’ll make sure to settle the score for this leg of mine”
Samuel’s expression remained indifferent, but his foot pressed down harder. Reggie sank another half–inch into the earth. Samuel had been diligently working on test data when Reggie ambushed him from the shadows.
Unfortunately for Reggie, with a broken leg, he was no match for Samuel The latter effortlessly subdued Reggie, treating him like trash beneath his foot
Under normal circumstances, especially in broad daylight and in public where he could easily be seen, Samuel would maintain his composure and refrain from getting physical. But Repie was the one who came at him first
All day, Samuel had been feeling down after overhearing William and Emelie’s conversation the previous night.
He couldn’t shake the thought that if Reggie hadn’t kidnapped Emelie and drugged her that night, she wouldn’t have been taken away by William. And nothing would have happened between them. His sprouting flower wouldn’t have withered either.
“You’re the one who started this,” Samuel said as he bent down. “What’s the point of killing you? It’s much more fun to let you live in agony.”
Emelie was in the car and too far away to hear what Samuel was saying, but judging from his demeanor and actions, he was nothing like the Samuel she knew. Suddenly, she remembered the night when William asked her if she knew who broke Reggie’s leg.
She turned to William. “Reggie’s leg-”
William had brought Emelie to witness this scene. He was not interested in watching it himself. With his eyes closed, he replied casually, “Samuel broke it.”
From the incident where Samoel effortlessly subdued the driver to extract information, William deduced that Samuel was no ordinary individual, Considering the precise timing of Reggie’s broken leg, he could only think of Samuel and Wesley,
So, last night, he had Lyle bring Reggie over to confront Samuel. It was sure to lead to an interesting show.
He opened his eyes and looked at Emrti. “Do you feel like you’ve been deceived all along?”
Emelle pressed her lips together. This was William. Instead of wasting words, he believed it was more impactful for her to witness this scene firsthand
Words could be manipulated, but seeing was believing, Enelle had to admit that her perception of Samuel had been reset. The Samuel she knew wasn’t like this.
“The “best person‘ you thought he was was just a facade he portrayed. You never truly knew him, so how can you call him the best?”
William’s eyes turned dark. “Emelie, you think he doesn’t want anything from you. But have you ever considered that sometimes the priceless things are the most valuable?”
Emelie breathed in the faint woody scent inside the car before calmly saying, “Let’s go.“”
William raised an eyebrow. “You’re not going to watch anymore?
“If you don’t want to leave, unlock the door and let me out. I’ll walk by myself.”
William snorted. “Drive”
Ashton started the car and left Blossom Clove. Emelie couldn’t help but feel that William’s move was indeed clever.
With just a scene and a few words, he managed to sow doubt between her and Samuel.
She couldn’t help but wonder what Samuel really wanted from her. He had helped her without expecting anything in return, yet he had also been acting and disguising himself by her side. Did he really have some ulterior motives?
As she pondered, she felt a twinge of anger at herself for easily doubting Samuel because of William’s words. This man was a master of psychological warfare.
Emelie gathered herself, refusing to fall into his trap.
Calmly, she said, “People aren’t like cards with only two sides. As long as he fulfills his duties at school and teaches knowledge to students, he’s a good teacher.
“He was there for me when I was at my lowest. Not only did he provide me with work to maintain my income, but he also offered emotional support. He made me feel like I wasn’t alone. He’s my friend.
“He might have ulterior motives or another side he hasn’t told me about. But the tact is, I haven’t been harmed or lost anything because of him, so this won’t affect our relationship”
William narrowed his eyes, giving her a chilly look. Then, he mocked, “Sounds like a speech.”
‘sanger flared up at his words. “Hey!”
Suddenly, William grabbed her uninjured hand and pulled her toward him from the car door. Emelle, who was caught off guard, crashed into his chest “You want to keep your distance from me after getting into my car? You’re really funny.”
