Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty
Chapter 45

Samuel's life in Riverdale City would become extremely challenging in the future.

The crowd that had been eagerly anticipating Yolanda and Diana's downfall was left in shock as they watched Samuel slap himself over and over. The onlookers were stunned, their hands covering their mouths in disbelief, worried that their agitation might lead them to

gasp audibly.

Diana was equally dumbfounded. Yolanda simply tossed a card, and Samuel immediately dropped to his knees before her. This was unexplainable.

Samuel was the branch manager of Fusion Group, a major player in Riverdale City. The Henderson family, though considered upper-middle class in the city, didn't even have the standing to discuss a partnership with Fusion Group.

"Mr. Liddell, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling before someone as worthless as her?"

Olivia, who had been riding on Samuel's coattails just moments ago suddenly came to her senses. She rushed over to Samuel, attempting to help him to his feet.

Her words rattled Samuel so intensely that he felt like he might have a heart attack. How dare she stir up more trouble before Yolanda had forgiven him? She was practically asking for trouble.

He raised his hand and slapped Olivia hard across the face. "You're the worthless one! I'll break both your legs if you ever disrespect Ms. Henderson again!"

Realizing that begging Yolanda was pointless, he turned to Diana in desperation. "Mrs. Henderson, please, just give me another chance! I promise I'll never make the same mistake again. I was out of my mind before. If you're upset, you can hit me, yell at me, or do whatever you want!"

He knew that if Yolanda didn't forgive him, Zach would certainly hold him accountable.

The more Samuel thought about it, the more terrified he became. He stayed on his knees, frantically slapping himself in front of Yolanda and Diana.

His cheeks soon became bloodied, but he didn't stop and continued to apologize desperately. "I'm sorry... I was wrong... I realized my mistake..."

The onlookers watched Samuel's pitiful display, their shock growing with each passing moment. They couldn't fathom what kind of power Yolanda possessed that could make Samuel so terrified.

Samuel's cronies, who had been ridiculing Yolanda for her looks just moments earlier, were now consumed with rising fear. They knew Samuel well enough to recognize that he wouldn't humiliate himself like this unless he were genuinely terrified. They wondered what kind of terrifying power Yolanda must have.

As they remembered their earlier mockery of Yolanda and Diana, cold sweat began to form on their foreheads. Two of them even started to tremble, their legs shaking as if they might collapse to their knees at any moment.

Olivia fought to hold back her tears, too frightened to let out a sound. She never imagined things would come to this, nor did she expect Samuel to bow down to a high school student.

But she wasn't naive. She knew that panicking now wouldn't do her any good. She quietly wiped her tears away and stepped back behind Samuel.

Diana glanced at Yolanda. She hesitated before saying, "Maybe we should just let it go."

It wasn't that Diana was soft-hearted. Normally, she'd be relentless and cause a huge scene if someone had her back. But right now, she couldn't grasp why Samuel was terrified of Yolanda.

If Samuel had misinterpreted something and later figured out his mistake, she could have ended up in deeper trouble. Besides, being harassed by a creepy guy wasn't something to brag about.

All she wanted now was to defuse the situation and get out of this mess as quickly as possible.

Yolanda looked down at Samuel, who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly stepped forward. Without a second thought, she stomped hard on his left hand.

Samuel let out an agonizing scream, feeling like his bones were about to break.

Yolanda stared at him with a cold, detached expression. Her voice was calm and steady, yet it bore down on Samuel like a heavy weight, making it difficult for him to breathe. His body started to tremble uncontrollably under the intensity of her words.
