Samantha Tate lifted her head, her gaze fixed intently on Carson Flores’s masculine profile.

“I want to hear the truth, can I?”

Carson Flores nodded, candidly admitting, “It’s related.”

Samantha Tate pursed her lips: “Can you be more specific?”

Carson Flores answered calmly, “Because he hired someone to kill me.

If I couldn’t fight, I would have been chopped to death by a group of people in the parking lot four nights ago.”

Samantha Tate’s eyes widened in shock: “He hired someone to kill you?”

Carson Flores nodded: “I’m just your fake boyfriend.

You wouldn’t think that just because he wanted to pursue you and be with you, I’d contrive to kill him, would you?”

Samantha Tate’s expression suddenly relaxed a bit: “I see, so what was the deal with the car accident just now?”

Carson Flores replied candidly, “He hired someone to kill me, so I told the person hired that either he would kill his employer, or I would kill him—only one could live.”

Samantha Tate suddenly understood, her tense body completely relaxing: “So the person hired killed him to save his own life?”

Carson Flores, observing Samantha Tate’s reaction, was slightly surprised: “What’s with your reaction, you seemed pretty scared just now.”

Samantha Tate bit her lip: “I misunderstood.

I thought Ethan kept troubling you and pestering me, so you figured out a way to kill him.

If that had been the case, I would indeed be afraid of you, but now that I know he targeted you first and you were just retaliating in self-defense, I’m not afraid anymore.”

Carson Flores understood her change of heart.

If one would kill over trivial things, it would indicate a cruel nature and a violent disposition.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a ruthless person?

Then she realized that Ethan was the instigator, and she was merely fighting back.

Even the one who had directly committed the murder wasn’t her, which naturally dispelled her fear.

Ordinary people would fear a villain who goes out and kills, but they would not fear a victim who kills an evildoer in self-defense to protect themselves.

Carson Flores asked out of curiosity, “Ethan is dead, aren’t you upset?”

Samantha Tate curled her lip: “At first, when I saw his death from the car accident, I was shocked and somewhat upset.

Although I disliked him, he was still someone I knew.

But when I learned he had hired someone to take your life, I wasn’t upset at all, especially since you saved his life in the mountains.

Instead of being grateful, he repaid kindness with enmity.

That’s utterly inhumane; he got what he deserved!”

After a pause, Samantha Tate looked intently at Carson Flores: “You told me about such a secret matter, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Ethan’s parents?”

Carson Flores chuckled: “If I chose to tell you, I naturally trust you won’t do such a thing.

For one, you’re not that kind of person, and secondly, making a fuss about this won’t do any good for me, for you, or for the Gilliam Family.”

Samantha Tate nodded: “Right.

If his parents knew the truth, they would definitely hate me and the Gilliam Family as well.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Carson Flores hummed in agreement: “You seem to have a strong capacity for accepting things.”

“You don’t invite death unless you seek it.”

Samantha Tate snorted: “The slayer slain.

It’s only because you are powerful.

If you were just an ordinary person, you would be dead by now.

Thinking of that, I feel he got the death he deserved.”

Carson Flores said with a smile, “Rich and powerful, used to being overbearing, he liked to deal with troubles in the most direct way.

It’s just that this time he picked the wrong target.”

Samantha Tate curiously asked: “That was a real car accident just now, how was that arranged?”

Carson Flores shook his head: “To be honest, I’m not sure either.”

As they spoke, Carson Flores’ phone rang.

Tucker Tyler.

Carson Flores didn’t avoid Samantha Tate and answered the call directly: “Hello?”

Tucker Tyler’s respectful voice came through: “Mr.

Flores, Ethan just had a car accident and died on the spot.”

Carson Flores hummed in response, glancing at Samantha Tate who was listening in: “I just passed by the scene and saw it.

What’s the story with the driver?”

Tucker Tyler answered: “He’s a terminal cancer patient with at most half a month left to live.

I gave him a sum for settling down and promised to get his child into a good school later.”

Carson Flores’s expression remained calm: “Whatever you promise, you must follow through, and do it well.”

Tucker Tyler shivered, hastily assuring: “Mr.

Flores, rest assured, I will see it done, and done well!”

Carson Flores nodded: “Alright, we’re even then.”

On the other end, Tucker Tyler breathed a sigh of relief: “Mr.

Flores…”

Carson Flores hummed: “What’s up?”

Tucker Tyler sounded hesitant: “Mr.

Zhao has asked about the incident here.

I couldn’t conceal it with so many witnesses, so I told him…”

Carson Flores was unconcerned: “Got it.”

Tucker Tyler’s voice dropped two shades: “I sense from Mr.

Zhao’s intentions that he wouldn’t let Drake Bernard die in vain.

He might come after you later.

Please be careful, Mr.

Flores.”

Carson Flores was slightly surprised: “Why tell me this?”

Tucker Tyler replied: “Mr.

Flores spared me twice; I just wanted to repay the favor somehow.”

Carson Flores suddenly asked: “With Drake Bernard dead, who’s going to manage Black Bamboo Corporation?”

Tucker Tyler sounded a bit embarrassed: “Mr.

Zhao has asked me to take over for the time being.”

Carson Flores chuckled: “Then you’ve been promoted, congratulations.”

Tucker Tyler responded carefully: “It’s all thanks to Mr.

Flores’ grace!”

Carson Flores said nothing more and hung up the phone, turning to Samantha Tate: “Did you get all that?”

Samantha Tate shook her head: “I understand, yet I don’t… Who is Drake Bernard, and how did he die?”
