Rogue 28
Seeing the others‘ unresponsiveness, Samson knew they had accepted his offer.
There was no way they wouldn’t accept such a harmless and beneficial deal
by the slightest
Even though Evangeline gave them food before, she also beat them. Their friendship was not strong and could be easily shattered by interference.
Samson smiled and said, “It’s a deal then”
He added. “As long as you’re willing to help, we’re friends. Other than the benefits I promised you, I’ll also take care of you well in the future. I’ve always been very good to my friends.”
The others didn’t respond, and Samson assumed the silence was acquiescence to his words
Jolene thought, ‘Every time Evangeline gives the food, I’ll perform a show for her, even doing it more than once. What we’re doing is an equal exchange, and I don’t owe her anything, so it’s not considered a betrayal
Travis thought, ‘Evangeline’s small favor to me is not worthy of sacrificing my career in the entertainment industry and offending the Callagher family. Besides. Evangeline’s help is not a big deal, not some big favor. I’ve already repaid her, and I can just give her some money at the worst after returning to the city.
Kendrick thought, Evangeline hit and beat me up so badly. We’re not on good terms, and she gave me food just because she couldn’t finish it herself, not because she wanted to help us. Besides, she treated us like clowns, wanting us to perform in exchange for food. She looked down on us ever since the beginning, so we don’t need to flatter ourselves to think about her good treatment of us and offend the Gallagher family for her. Even if Samson doesn’t give me any favors, I won’t put in a good word for Evangeline.
Even if they had some conscience, there was not much to be said.
In the face of conscience and interests, they chose the latter in the end.
The audience in the live room started commenting. [Holy crap, why do they keep quiet! Are they tempted by Samson’s offer? Wake up. guys! The netizens have forgiven you for your previous mistakes because of your talent. If you help the Gallagher siblings backstab Evangeline, you’ll be screwed!]
Another person wrote: [Travis, wake up! The Gallagher siblings are doomed. You won’t get any benefit from helping them. You’ll only get in trouble. I like your voice very much. I don’t want to lose the chance of hearing you sing again!]
Another commenter added: [Kendrick, you’ve already won so many awards at such a young age. You can spread your popularity across the world by yourself in the future. There’s no need to be eager for quick success by betraying your conscience for empty promises!]
A person lamented: [W
[What a pity. They could still have a way out, but their desires led them down the path of doom.]
A viewer revealed their frustration: [Such ingrates should be banned.]
Another viewer chimed in: [Poor Evangeline for helping these ingrates.]
The five waited quietly for half an hour before the cruise ship finally docked.
Their faces were full of excitement. After the staff got off the ship, they couldn’t wait to rush over..

on the way back to the city.
10:29 AM
Dallas explained. “Well, a dumbass among the staff accidentally mixed the blood of the poisoned staff into the drinking water source. Those who were not poisoned also became poisoned after drinking the water, so everyone passed out together. Fortunately, the poison seemed strong but not fatal. That’s why we’re still alive.”
Meghan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a soft smile, “I’m glad that you all are fine. Although we have suffered helplessly here for six days, as long as you all are safe and sound, our suffering is nothing. We won’t blame you.”
Dallas sized them up and asked deliberately in surprise, “Why are you all injured and looking so miserable? Meghan, you lost a tooth? What happened?”
Meghan immediately covered her face and sobbed sadly. Her body trembled slightly as if she recalled a very horrible experience.
Samson immediately wrapped his arm around Meghan’s shoulder and gently patted her to comfort her.
“Oh, have you suffered quite a lot? Why are you crying so hard? Tell me, what happened? Dallas asked, pretending to be ignorant and concerned.
After crying for a while, Meghan finally stopped her sobs.
She wiped her tears, and her delicate voice sounded more pitiful as she said. ‘I’m sure you know Evangeline has always been against me. Before you left, she kept scolding and even kicked me.”
She added, “After you left, there was no camera to shoot us, so she became even worse and kept humiliating me. The wounds on my body were all caused by Evangeline, and she knocked off my tooth. She also beat Sam and others. Sam almost died at her hands…”
As if Meghan thought of terrible memories, her body began to tremble with fear again, and there was a look of terror in her eyes.
Dallas looked surprised and asked, “How could Evangeline do such a thing“”
Meghan bit her lips with reddened eyes and replied, “I have no intention to expose Evangeline, but she went too far for thinking maniacally of killing Sam. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I had to tell everyone what she had done!”
She continued, “I can still forgive her if she only hurt me, but I can’t stand the fact that she hurt Sam and tried to kill him.
With that, Meghan threw herself into Samson’s arms and said between sobs, “Sam, I’m still feeling scared when I think of you almost dying at Evangeline’s hands.”
She then exclaimed, “I wanted to get along well with Evangeline and become a family again, but I didn’t expect her to be so vicious and cruel. I don’t want to be sisters with her anymore”
Samson patted Meghan on the back and said softly, “Don’t cry. Look, I’m fine, okay?”
On the other hand, Dallas and the staff had mixed feelin
feelings.
After watching Meghan crying hard, Dallas looked at Jolene, Travis, and Kendrick.
He asked, “Were all your wounds from Evangeline, too?”
The three replied with a nod, “Yes”
They didn’t lie, as the injuries on their bodies were indeed from Evangeline.
Dallas asked again, “Was what M
The three fell silent.
Meghan said true? Evangeline tried to harm Samson and almost got him killed?”
Although Samson did face life–threatening situations because of Evangeline, Samson did the provoking first, resulting in Evangeline acting in self- defense later on.
Evangeline was just defending herself and reluctant to save Samson, so it couldn’t be considered that she attempted to hurt Samson.
It was Samson who brought it upon himself.
Yet, the three didn’t want to tell the truth when they thought of Meghan and Samson’s warning and empty promises to them.
Dallas was unwilling to let them off and asked one of them, “Jolene, is Meghan telling the truth?”
Jolene bit the bullet and answered with a nod, “Yes”

Dallas then looked at Travis and asked, “Travis?”
Travis nodded with a gloomy face as he replied, “Yes, Meghan is telling the truth.”
Without leaving Kendrick out, Dallas asked him, “Kendrick, did you see Evangeline attempt to murder Samson!”
Seeing that the others responded, Kendrick could only nod and replied the same thing, “Yes. Everyone saw it
Dallas‘ eyes flashed with a touch of pity as he thought, These three are doomed.
He quickly dispersed the strange look in his eyes and asked, “What exactly had happened that time? Can you tell me and the audience behind the camera more about it?”
Jolene and the others looked at each other, hoping that someone could speak up first.
Seeing them unwilling to explain, Dallas directly called a name and said, “Jolene, go ahead.”
Jolene had no choice but to answer, “Evangeline was by the river at that time. Samson went to borrow something from her, but Evangeline refused and kicked Samson into the river. Samson was hurt by the kick, so he couldn’t swim in the river and almost drowned.”
Dallas asked, “Why would Evangeline kick Samson into the river? Did Samson do something else? I don’t think someone can be so malignant to
another for no reason…”
Jolene secretly glanced at Meghan, and the latter gave her a warning look
Jolene immediately averted her gaze from Meghan and shook her head. She said, “No, he didn’t. Samson has always been very friendly to Evangeline and wants to make peace with her, but Evangeline treats everyone badly as if we owe her money. She would beat us up if we tried to talk to her.”
Meghan was very satisfied with the answer and smiled quietly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dallas looked at Travis and asked, “Travis, is that the truth!”
Travis replied with a frown, “Didn’t Jolene answer you? Why’re you still asking me?”
Dallas said seriously. The situation is related to the law after all. As a director, I have an obligation to find out what happened and seek justice for the injured party!”
He spoke with righteous and reasonable words, and no one doubted his intentions.
Travis nodded and said, “Yes, What Jolene said was true.”
Dallas looked at Kendrick and asked seriously, “Kendrick, do you have anything to add?”
Kendrick replied, “Jolene has made it very clear what happened that time. What she said was true. All of us were there and saw with our own eyes”
