Rogue

Chapter 38

In the banquet hall, Samson and others also planned to leave upon seeing Evangeline depart.

Suddenly, a reporter’s voice came from below the stage. “At the start of the press conference, you vowed that what you said was true and that you didn’t harm Evangeline. Instead, Evangeline has been causing harm to you and singling you out. You said that if you lied, you would kneel and slap your face. Now that it’s proven that you all lied, shouldn’t you uphold your oath?”

Other reporters echoed

“I almost forgot about this. Fortunately, someone remembered it.”

“Hurry up! Don’t waste everyone’s time!”

“You guys are already in a rough spot. You wouldn’t want to be further labeled as promise–breakers, would you?”

Everyone on the stage fell silent.

Initially, some wanted to deny it and tried to sneak off, but the reporters blocked their escape route.

Samson was already kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

He smacked himself repeatedly.

Soon, ten hard slaps were delivered, and his face instantly got swollen.

Seeing this, the rest of them could only kneel down in shame and dap themselves:

After they finished slapping, Dallas said hypocritically. “Oh, that was just a joke. How can you all be serious? Well, this press conference is over. Let’s go home!”

Dallas asked the staff to return the mobile phones to the participants, and cach of them was also given a power bank.

Samson stood up from the ground and walked out dejectedly,

The reporters under the stage gathered around and wanted to interview them.

Even though their popularity wasn’t as high as Evangeline’s, they were all hot topics now and could still attract a lot of attention.

All five of them were surrounded

Even if they didn’t answer any questions, the reporters still surrounded them

Finally, Dallas asked the staff to help clear the way so that they could leave the hotel.

Samson walked quickly in front, and Meghan trotted behind

“Sam, wait for me. You said you would protect me. How could you leave without me! Meghan asked in a crying voice.

Samson’s face darkened when he heard her words, and he quickened his pace.

‘She almost

many cars parked on the roadside outside the hotel.

When Samson came out of the hotel, an MPV stopped in front of him.

The car door opened and revealed Edward and Jasper. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

r said, “Sarn, get in the car

Samson got in

in the car quickly.

At this moment, Meghan also ran over. She wanted to get in the car but was kicked away by Samson.

■ “Get lost, you vile woman. Don’t follow me anymore, and don’t come near me in the future!” Samson shouted angrily.

The kick sent Meghan to the ground. Tears gushed out of her eyes, and she sobbed, “Sam, I’m your sister, who you’ve been doting on for 20 years. Are you going to deny me because of this small matter?”

Hearing that. Samson was so angry that his chest heaved violently

I almost lost my life. Is this considered a small matter in her eyes? he thought.

“Sam, calm down. We’ll talk about it later when we g

we get back” Jasper patted Samson on the shoulder to calm him.

Then he looked at Meghan, who slumped on the ground, and said, “Come up too. Mom and Dad are still waiting at home”

Meghan cried with joy. She immediately got up and got into the car.

Samson wanted to stop her, but Jasper held him down. “Sam, don’t make a scene.”

Samson said angrily. “Jas, didn’t you watch the livestream? Don’t you know what she has done for the past seven days?”

“I did,” Jasper said.

Samson roared, “Since you’ve watched it, you should already know that she wants me dead. Why did you let her get in the car and come home with us? I have always regarded her as my blood sister and treated her better than anyone else, but she did this to me. She is an ingrate Why do you let her go home with us”

Tears streamed down Meghan’s face when she heard that. She explained aggrievedly, “Sam, you misunderstood me…”

“Shut up! You’re full of lies. I don’t want to hear your explanation. Get out of the car now! Samson cut Meghan off angrily

Meghan bit her lips and looked at Edward and Jasper with tears in her eyes. “Eddie, Jas, don’t you believe me? Are you going to kick me out, too?” Edward said, “Stop arguing and let’s talk about it at home. Mom and Dad asked us to take you both home.”

Samson wanted to say something

Edward stopped him and said, “Sam, calm down first. Don’t talk. Mom and Dad have watched the livestream. They also know what happened in the forest Let’s discuss it after we go home and see them.”

Samson gritted his teeth and fell silent.

However, Meghan was very

flustered.

Since George and Bethany also watched the livestream, she wondered how she could get away with it.

After half an hour of silent journey, the car stopped at the gate of the Gallagher residence

The three siblings of the Gallagher family entered the mansion with Meghan.

George and Bethany were sitting on the couches in the living room. It seemed like they had been waiting for a long time,

with

When Meghan saw them, she knelt with a thump.

She cried and pleaded, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry, I did something wrong in the forest and hurt Sam. Please forgive me!”

Slap!

you.

Bethany slapped Meghan hard in the face. She was so angry that her entire body trembled, and her voice shook too. “We ignored our child for Is this how you thank us! Sam treats you the best out of everyone, but you treat him like a slave. You ignored his illness and even prevented others from helping him when he was in danger. You wished for him to die! Don’t you have a heart? How could you do such a thing? You’ve let Sam down! You’ve let us down! You’re such an ingrate. You’ve betrayed the love we’ve given you for so many years!”

As Bedany spoke, she shed tears in anger.

She raised her hand and wanted to slap Meghan again.

Before she could bring her hand down, George grabbed her wrist and shouted angrily, “Enought Stop it! Can’t you be more composed and acting like a shrew?”

Hop

Bethany said angrily, “Our son was almost killed by this ingrate. I just want to seek justice for our son. What’s wrong with that! Do you want our son

to be bullied in vain

George said with a sullen face, “1 told you that Meghan’s outburst was due to a mental disorder from stress. Meghan didn’t intend it, and she was also in agony. Can’t you see how sad and regretful she is? She already acknowledges her mistake and has apologized. Please, don’t hold on to it.”

Bethany looked at George in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, “What are you talking about? She almost killed our son, and she tried to kill our own daughter. How can you still defend heri‘

George frowned and scolded, “Don’t be so harsh. It was Evangeline who almost caused Sam harm, not Meghan! Even if Meghan intentionally stopped others from helping Sam, she wasn’t the direct culprit Evangeline was still to blame! Think before you speak. Don’t be swayed by internet opinions. We should be able to think for ourselvest Do you believe Meghan is hypocritical and malicious like others are saying? Those people have never met Meghan. What do they know We’ve lived with Meghan for twenty years. Don’t you know what kind of person Meghan k?”

Bethany’s expression changed drastically

Meghan hurriedly chimed in “Dad knows me best.”

She continued, “Mom, just like Dad mentioned, I was affected so much that my mind was jumbled up. I couldn’t recall what happened in the forest. Many things weren’t what I truly intended to do. My mental disorder made me fail to control my actions and thoughts, so I made mistakes and said things I shouldn’t have. However, even though I didn’t do those things on purpose, I still ended up hurting Sam. I’m ready to face the consequences as long as you forgive mel

As she spoke, she began to sob again looking extremely remorseful.

She looked as if she was really innocert

Samson exclaimed angrily, “Dad, don’t defend her. She was perfectly clear–headed and not mentally abnormal at all. She’s just vicious, just like her housekeeper mother. She was born evil. She can’t even be compared to Evangeliner

Slap!

George stood up, gave Samson a firm stap on the face, ami scolded, “Meghan is your sister. How can you say such things about her? Have you forgotten your promise that no matter what happens, you will always protect Meghan?”

Samson covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief. She wants me to die, but you still want me to love her?”

George said with a sense of righteousness, A man must keep his word. Since you’ve promised to love Meghan no matter what happens, you should forgive her. Besides, I have already said that Meghan did something wrong because she suffered from a mental disorder and was not in control of herself. She is not a bad person by nature.

Samson was too angry to speak.

He turned angrily and stomped upstairs. He didn’t want to stay there any longer.

Edward and Jasper said at the same time, “I’ll go comfort Sam.”

Bethany snorted coldly and went upstairs.

Only George and Meghan were left in the living room.

George helped Meghan up and wiped her tears. “Stop crying. I won’t let them drive you away.

“Dad” Meghan threw herself into George’s arms, hugged him hard, and cried with aggrieved tears. “My image and my reputation have been ruined. What should 1 do in the future?”

George said, “You still have me. I will support you for the rest of your life!

Meghan sobbed aggrievedly.

George looked at Meghan in his arms and said, “Go to the study with me. Tell me what you have suffered.

Meghan choked and nodded.

to the study.

They went to

George closed the door of his study and locked it from the inside.

Then, he pinned Meghan against the desk.
