Chapter 223: Bewilderment

When fear reached its peak, it seemed that one could always do something they could never do before.

Amanda knew that tonight's incident could not end well. She had slapped Samuel Johnson, and who knew how many slaps he would return to her.

If she were to die, so be it.

When fear reached its extremity, one tended to become extremely calm instead.

Samuel Johnson silently looked at her, he heard Amanda's emotionless "deserved it."

In the past, had Amanda dared to touch a hair on his body, he would have skinned her alive.

But in the past, Amanda would not have been willing to touch a single hair on his body.

And now, she had broken the skin at the corner of his mouth, and she could still look at him with a cold smile and say he deserved it.

Samuel felt indescribable discomfort and a sense of grievance in his heart. This woman truly didn't care for him anymore; she remained indifferent even as he was hurt.
