Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Samuel replied, “I’ve given this a lot of thought in the past two days, and I finally understand how I truly feel. Billy, I don’t want to deceive myself anymore. The woman I love is Shirley.”

Billy was invid as Ins expression tumed ugly.

“If you weren’t sure of your feelings, why did you promise Soph that you would marry her? Why give her hope, only to crush it mercilessly? Is this how you show her you care?”

Samoel’s gentle expression now looked cold.

“If you had told me about the Weiss family’s situation sooner and that Shirley went to look for Benjamin, none of this would have happened.”

They knew that Shirley had attended the singles‘ patty hosted by the Blackwood family, yet no one bothered to tell him, leaving him in the dark Billy replied angrily, “So what if I told you? Have you forgotten whose fault it was that Soph had to suffer so much?”

ime and her go down this path without Samuel’s gaze grew cold as he said. “So, you knew after all... Billy, you low me better than anyone. Why did you watch me saying anything?”

Billy sneered “Why should I tell you? Do you think Shirley will forgive you for everything that happened at the wedding? If she could forgive you, she would have told you everything that happened to the Weiss family, instead of marrying a complete stranger.”

Billy’s words hit Samuel hard, leaving him deeply hurt.

However, Bully didn’t stop there. He continued, “You abandoned her on the wedding day, and when Owen was in a car accident, you just walked away. She’ll never forgive you for that.

“I can only imagine how heartbroken she was when she held the injured Owen in her arms as she watched your car disappear. I can also imagine how terrified and helpless she must have felt when she sat outside the operating room in a wedding gown covered in blood. Do you really think she can forgive you?

The scene that Billy described appeared in Samuel’s mind. Samuel’s handsome face looked deathly pale as he trembled with distress. His breathing grew heavy, as if he were having difficulty breathing He called our Shirley’s name in his mind.

After a while, Samuel said in a hoarse voice, “Billy, you’re doing this to get back at me.”

Billy’s expression looked cold, and he didn’t mind getting into a conflict with Samuel.

“That’s exactly what I’m doing. Soph has been imprisoned abroad by Aston for years, and I have no idea what she has been through, and yet you’ve fallen for Shirley “I’ve watched you hang out with Shirley every day for so many years. Do you have any idea how that makes me teel? Ask yourself. What right do you have to question me?

Samuel clenched his fists and said, “If you already knew I had feelings for Shirley, why did you let her marry Benjamin? Look at me now. Even if I married Soph, do you think she would be happy?”

As Sophia’s brother, Billy did the right thing. However, as Samuel’s best friend, Billy was cruel to him.

Billy remained silent. Despite staring at Samuel’s bloodshot eyes and the veins beneath them, Billy’s anger didn’t subside at all.

After a while, Samuel spoke again. “I won’t forget what Soph has done for me. I’ll give her anything she wants-”

“She wants to marry you,” Billy spat through clenched teeth and interrupted Samuel.

“She has loved you since she was a kid. Did you forget all about it? *

Samuel frowned and replied firmly, “If she doesn’t mind, I’ll treat her like my own sister.”

“Samuel, are you fucking serious?”

Billy completely lost it as he stood up. He slammed his hand on the table and grabbed Samuel’s collar with the other. His face contorted with rage like an angry beast.

“You have to marry Soph. It’s what you owe her.”

Samuel sat in place and just stared at Billy.

“What about what I owe Shirley? Don’t forget that we got to where we are today because of the Weiss fa “Don’t forget that Owen imprisoned Soph for three months!” With bloodshot eyes, Billy snarled,
