Chapter 176 +25 BONUS Rachel's eyes widened. "When did I push you?" Samantha flinched at Rachel's exclamation, looking as pitiful as an injured puppy. In a trembling voice, she murmured," Rachel, I'm not blaming you. I accidentally fell." Rachel raised her voice. "I repeat, I did not push you." Samantha pursed her lips and remained silent, but the pitiful look on her face spoke volumes.
William's brows furrowed as he turned to look at Rachel.
"Even if you have something against Samantha, you can't push he! You can always ctoand tellwhat's on your mind. I can explain things to you." Rachel was no longer taken aback by William defending Samantha Her heart had turned numb long ago. She simply stared at him and repeated herself, "I'm telling you, I didn't touch her." William's eyes turned even darker, like the clouds in the sky, telling of an impending storm. "You and she were the only ones around!" William gave his final word, which sent Rachel into despair. She didn't even have the desire to speak up for herself.

William took a deep breath and clenched his fists so hard, the veins on the back of his hands popped. In a low voice, he said, " How do you expectto trust you?" Rachel couldn't possibly say that Howard almost took advantage of her and pushed Samantha down.
Would William believe her? Since Samantha said that Rachel was the one who pushed her, how could Rachel possibly admit that Howard was there? What would her colleagues say about her? For all she knew, they would spread rumors about Howard sleeping with her, or that she seduced Howard and together, they pushed Samantha down because she was in their way.
These people had no logic to speak of. To them, gossip was truth; nothing mattered as long as they had something to entertain them when they felt bored.
Rachel's hesitation made William even more certain that she had mistreated Samantha. He shot Rachel a look of disappointment before bending down and gathering Samantha in his arms.
"Reflect on what you did wrong." He carried Samantha in his arms, ignoring the strange looks his colleagues were giving him.
