Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 44

"Mr. Liddell, what's the matter? It's just a regular bank card, right?" Olivia asked, noting the sudden shift in Samuel's demeanor and frowning slightly. She didn't recognize the card and assumed Yolanda was attempting to make amends with a monetary gift.

"Shut up!" Samuel snapped at Olivia, his frustration evident.

While others might not recognize the card, he knew exactly what it was. It was Fusion Group's VIP gold card, custom-designed by Zach himself, and issued only to VIPs of the Wright family. As far as he knew, there were fewer than five people in Havaria who had this card.

"Where did this card come from?" Samuel's tone had shifted from stern to cautiously concerned.

"If you recognize it, then you should already know," Yolanda replied, her calm demeanor unwavering.

Samuel inhaled sharply. Refusing to believe what was in front of him, he flipped the card over, scrutinizing it closely and searching for any sign that it was a fake. But no matter how carefully he inspected it, he couldn't find a single flaw.

Yolanda noticed Samuel's actions and let out a soft chuckle. "Mr. Liddell, could it be that you don't actually recognize this card? Aren't you supposed to be some distant relative of the Wright family? Or maybe your status is too low to even be aware of it?"

Her comments left those around them puzzled, but Samuel's unease grew. A VIP recognized by Zach was someone he couldn't afford to cross. He was in serious trouble if Yolanda truly knew Zach.

But Samuel found it hard to believe that this seemingly ordinary high school student standing before him could be one of Zach's VIPs. Clinging to the last shred of hope, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Samuel had actually knelt before Yolanda in a show of respect.

The atmosphere instantly plunged into a tense silence. Everyone around stared in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. What was going on? Samuel Liddell was kneeling before an ordinary high school student!

"Ms. Henderson, I'm sorry. I was blind and foolish to offend you earlier. I realize my mistake now. Please, I beg you, don't hold it against me, and forgive me just this once!" Samuel pleaded, striking himself hard across the face as he spoke.

The loud, sharp sound of his slaps echoed through the entire restaurant. Samuel knew all too well that if Yolanda didn't forgive him, Zach certainly wouldn't.
