Chapter 37
A deal with the devil
Chapter 37 âSamuel, please bring me out of here. I beg you..â Sophia cried in despair as her frall body trembled severely.
Samuel cupped her face and forced her to look at him. âWith me around, no one can hurt you. If you donât like this place, we destroy it.â
Then, he waved his hand. âDestroy everythingâ
Samuel held Sophiaâs face and made her watch the excavator flatten the shabby house in a few seconds. After watching all of that, Sophia cried.
Everything had ended. Those terrifying days had ended Sophia never wanted to return to this place. She didnât want to spend the bitter days of being abused by people anymore. âLet it all out. Only then will you forget about it.â
Samuel huped Sophia and whispered in her ear, âSoph, when we ceturn to Elderstone, letâs get marriedâ
trembled and looked at him in disbelief.âReally?â
Samuel nodded âOf course. The sooner the better.â
He knew that his late parents would hope for him to do that because Sophia suffered so much because of him âBut Iâm not worthy of you.â Sophiaâs gaze flickered. There was fear in her eyes, but at the same, there was anticipation Samuel said, âAfter we go back, Iâll employ a tutor for you. Weâll make up for everything youâve missed over the years.â Sophia nodded and smiled happily.
After returning to the hotel, Samuel looked at the missed calls. He returned all the calls, but when he gave Marley a call, the latter stuttered.

âWhy are you so free? Did you not hit it off with your blind date last night?â
Samuel poured a glass of red wine for himself and walked over to the floorâtoâceiling windows. While he looked at the bustling New Avalon, his gaze was warm âWho went to Blackwood Mano Last nightâ
Currently, Samuel and Benjamin had no connection, but business matters changed every day. Gaining more insights wouldnât hurt.
Marley complained to himself but said, âMarcus went there, I saw Book as well I think he went with Cecilia Derek went, tooâ
âIs that so? Among the Elderstoneâs Five Stars, three had gathered â
Samuel looked at the red wine in his glass and snorted. âI didnât expect Deak to be interested in such parties.â
âI think he was forced by Man Whitman Senior. He answered a call during the party and lett. The same went for Marcus. He only showed up for a while. I didnât see him for the rest of the âWhat about Benjamin?â
âI donât know. I didnât see him go up to anyoneâ
Marley didnât date mention Shirley, As Samuel couldnât get any useful information, he didnât ask further questions. After making some small talk, he ended the call
