Samuel's life in Riverdale City would become extremely challenging in the future.
The crowd that had been eagerly anticipating Yolanda and Diana's downfall was left in shock as they watched Samuel slap himself over and over. The onlookers were stunned, their hands covering their mouths in disbelief, worried that their agitation might lead them to gasp audibly.
Diana was equally dumbfounded. Yolanda simply tossed a card, and Samuel immediately dropped to his knees before her. This was unexplainable.
Samuel was the branch manager of Fusion Group, a major player in Riverdale City. The Henderson family, though considered upper-middle class in the city, didn't even have the standing to discuss a partnership with Fusion Group.
"Mr. Liddell, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling before someone as worthless as her?"
Olivia, who had been riding on Samuel's coattails just moments ago suddenly came to her senses. She rushed over to Samuel, attempting to help him to his feet.
Her words rattled Samuel so intensely that he felt like he might have a heart attack. How dare she stir up more trouble before Yolanda had forgiven him? She was practically asking for trouble.
He raised his hand and slapped Olivia hard across the face. "You're the worthless one! I'll break both your legs if you ever disrespect Ms. Henderson again!"
Realizing that begging Yolanda was pointless, he turned to Diana in desperation. "Mrs. Henderson, please, just give me another chance! I promise I'll never make the same mistake again. I was out of my mind before. If you're upset, you can hit me, yell at me, or do whatever you want!"
He knew that if Yolanda didn't forgive him, Zach would certainly hold him accountable.
The more Samuel thought about it, the more terrified he became. He stayed on his knees, frantically slapping himself in front of Yolanda and Diana.
His cheeks soon became bloodied, but he didn't stop and continued to apologize desperately. "I'm sorry… I was wrong… I realized my mistake…"
