The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 When Did You Become So Audacious?
"What did I do?"

"You are being utterly unreasonable. Tell me, why are you treating me this way?"

Why?

Wasn't the reason clear? It was because she disliked her and also because she wanted to scheme against Finley. Those who attempted to undermine Finley generally faced a dire fate. Like Hazel, her end would not be pleasant.

Samantha's lips curled into a faint, almost mocking smile. "Sometimes, disliking someone doesn't require a reason. It can simply be that their presence is irksome. To be blunt, you have an annoying, punchable, and thoroughly despicable face."

"Are you personally attacking me?"

Samantha shook her head, her gaze unyielding. "No, I'm just being honest and helping you see just how much you are despised."

The true source of animosity wasn't directed at her but at the loathsome Samantha.

So, why did Samantha treat her like this? It seemed they had no personal vendetta.

Or was it simply that her hatred compelled her to inflict pain?

This brazen and contemptible Samantha would ensure this grievance would not end easily.

Suppressing her mounting fury, Hazel withdrew three checks from her bag and handed them to Samantha. "This 400,000 is for you. From now on, we are even."

"No, you still owe me a new phone. Didn't we agree that you would compensate me twenty times the amount and buy me a new phone?"

When had she ever made such a promise?

Could Samantha not be so audacious?

Hazel had quite a temper.

As Hazel turned to leave, Samantha reached out and seized her hand. "Hazel, since you've stated you would buy me a phone, you must follow through with your words. If you refuse, then leave your phone with me."

Without giving Hazel a chance to refuse, Samantha took the phone from Hazel's bag. Hazel tried to retrieve it, but she was no match for Samantha. Frustrated, she shouted at Samantha, "Samantha, you shameless little wretch, give me back my phone!"

"Want your phone?" Samantha raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Fine. Bring a new phone in exchange for yours. If I don't see my new phone within an hour, your phone will become mine."

Samantha...

"Samantha, give me back my phone. I'll buy you a new one, alright?"

Her phone contained sensitive secrets. If Samantha discovered them, her reputation would be irrevocably damaged.
