If Samuel Richardson knew she was lying to him, he would probably kill her with his temper.
To win Samuel's trust, she had to keep this a secret.
"Mr. Richardson... don't listen to her, there are so many people here. If this gets out, how can we cooperate in the future?"
She couldn't think of any other way so she could only threaten Samuel with this matter to keep him from spilling it out in anger.
But Samuel seemed deaf to what she was saying; he was being consumed by anger at this moment.
He couldn't do anything to the Thompson family or to Molly Walker, so why not disgust them?
Samuel looked deeply into Phoebe Belmont's eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, this will not affect our relationship even if it comes out."
Phoebe's face changed.
Though it had no significant implications for Samuel, it would greatly harm her.
If word got out, she would bear the guilt of being Daniel Thompson's No.3
And she couldn't deny it.
