Evangeline raised her gaze, her expression darkening immediately as clear disgust showed in her

eyes.

She frowned in disgust. “How unlucky, how can I still run into this idiot here?”

The person was actually Samson.

‘Isn’t the Gallagher family in Hofcaster? How did he end up in Lyrendia?‘ Evangeline wondered.

Samson’s face stiffened when he heard Evangeline’s words. His eyes instantly dimmed as he said sadly, “Evangeline, haven’t you forgiven us yet? We’ve realized our mistakes. Why won’t you give us a chance? Aren’t we family? Can’t you be a little more lenient with family? Dad and Eddie have already paid with their lives. Jasper lost a leg, and Mom feels a great deal of guilt towards you. She’s mentally unstable and often dreams of apologizing to you…

Evangeline’s gaze was icy as she stepped up and slapped Samson across the face. Samson was thrown to the ground, his head ringing.

Before he could react, Evangeline kicked him and punched him while continuing to kick. “Are you out of your mind? I’ve warned you many times. Don’t mention we’re family when you see me. Otherwise, every time I hear it, I’ll hit you. Are you addicted to being beaten or what?”

Samson held his head in his hands, screaming in agony.

Dexter also stepped forward and helped Evangeline beat him.

Not to be outdone, Arthur joined them.

Beaten by the three of them, Samson was utterly unable to fight back and left in a pitiful state.

It wasn’t until he could no longer move that Evangeline stopped. Dexter and Arthur ceased their assault as well.

Evangeline, still angry, kicked Samson once more and warned, ‘If killing weren’t illegal, I’d really want to kick your head to a pulp to see if it’s filled with shit. Not only are you dumb, but you also can’t understand human language. Get lost, and don’t come near us again!”

After saying that, she stepped on him and entered the hotel.

Dexter and Arthur followed suit, stepping on him as well.

Samson lay there, his eyes rolling back. ‘It’s one thing that they stepped on me, but why did they have to stomp on me? It feels as if my ribs are on the verge of breaking, he thought.

At this moment, a hotel security guard approached and politely asked, “Sir, would you like us to call an ambulance and the police?”

The security guard’s eyes revealed disdain and disgust when he saw Samson’s face clearly. Samson

had been wearing a hat and mask earlier, so the guard hadn’t recognized him, but now, with his hat and mask knocked off, the guard instantly recognized him as Samson, who had embarrassed himself on a live variety show two months ago,

Although the security guard harbored considerable disdain for Samson, as a hotel employee, he could not ignore a guest and had to inquire.

Samson shook his head and said weakly, “No need.

He struggled to get up from the ground and looked dejectedly at Evangeline’s retreating figure.

He thought, “We are family; why have we become like enemies? We have already paid the price and realized our mistakes. We want to make it up to her. Why wouldn’t she give us a chance?”

Samson was set to leave for a consultation at the hospital, but now, with his injuries, he could only return to the hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Bethany saw him covered in bruises, hurriedly walked up to him, and asked, “Sam, what happened to you? Why is your face bruised and swollen? You were beaten? Who did it?”

Jasper was also in the room, but ever since he lost a leg, he had been listless and immersed in his Lown sorrow, so he didn’t notice Samson’s injuries.

Samson and Bethany had brought him to Lyrendia to seek professional counseling for him at a local hospital and to inquire about custom prosthetics.

Samson lowered his gaze and forced a sad smile. “I ran into Evangeline downstairs. I just wanted to greet her, but she started hitting me as soon as she saw me…”

When Bethany heard Evangeline’s name, her body tensed instantly, and her expression froze. Many complex emotions surged in her eyes and were eventually drowned out by tears.

Her feelings towards Evangeline were complicated. On one hand, she felt guilty about Evangeline. On the other hand, she harbored some resentment towards her. If it weren’t for Evangeline, Eddie wouldn’t have died.

As Bethany thought of Edward, she was once again heartbroken, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. She covered her mouth, sobbing silently. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After a long while, she managed to control her emotions and choked out, “Is Evangeline still in the hotel? I want to see her.”

Samson, feeling low, said, “She just entered the hotel not long ago. She’s probably here for breakfast, but I don’t know which floor or room she’s in.

“Mom, maybe you shouldn’t go see her. She’s still holding a grudge against us, sees us as enemies, and doesn’t consider us part of the family at all. If you go to see her, she probably will ignore you and might even beat you…”

Bethany said, “No matter if she acknowledges me or not, she’s my daughter, and I want to see her.

“Apply the medicine yourself. If the injuries are too severe, go to the hospital. I’ll wait at the hotel entrance for Evangeline.”

Then she quickly left the room before Samson could stop her.

Bethany waited at the hotel entrance for over an hour before she saw Evangeline walking out of the hotel with two tall men.

Excited, she hurried over and grabbed Evangeline’s hand.
