Chapter 300: Two Dead Ends
"You can't even recall anything even after looking at the photos. You're... You're indeed very heartless!" Samantha shook her head wretchedly, and all of a sudden she grabbed George's collar, yelling ferociously, "This woman is me. Me, Samantha!"
George's heart trembled slightly, but then he sniffed incredulously, "I guess you are really crazy. Although you look somewhat beautiful, still, you do not look like this lady in the photo at all. And I can at least remember my ex's name even though I am fickle. Sometimes I might get it wrong, but at least I am pretty sure about whether you are in that list."
Right, George had so many women in his life. Too many that he couldn't even remember the exact number. It was impossible for him to remember them all, but he would know that this was one of his former lover's names when somebody mentioned it. However, among these names, he was pretty confident that there was no such a name as "Samantha".
Furthermore, people would get old, but their profiles hardly changed. Right now, Samantha was not really that old, she just looked around thirty. How much could a person's appearance change from twenty to thirty?
Nevertheless, what Samantha looked like right now was not close to the woman in the photo at all. Relatively speaking, she looked more beautiful now except for her eyes that did look kind of similar to the woman in the photo. However, the photo was black and white. It was not clear enough to see one's eyes clearly, so George wasn't sure about this last aspect that could be the possible similarity.
Naturally speaking, he would not believe any words of Samantha.
"Right, you don't know Samantha, because you have never truly loved her. That's why you have never asked my real name. It was so ridiculous that I was so stupid at that time. So stupid that I gave everything up for you, including myself..."
Samantha laughed pitifully, "Alright, you don't know Samantha. Perhaps I should put this in a different way: the silver flower, do you remember that?"
At that season, he and she knew each other in a Halloween carnival. Both of them wore exquisite masks, but he took a fancy to her at first sight, inviting her to dance voluntarily.
He said, "My name is fiery tree."
She smiled and knew that he did not tell his real name.
So she said, "My name is silver flower."
Amid the fireworks that dotted the sky with red and silver shine, their names matched the scenario. Hence, the two began a grand and spectacular love.
Judging from now, it all seemed to be her own wishful thinking.
As soon as hearing the silver flower, George was finally touched. He looked at Samantha incredulously. It took a long time for him to speak in a trembling voice, "You... You are the silver flower? Impossible. Silver flower does not look like you at all, and I remember that she... She was very kind, so kind that she was like the purest angel in this world. But you, you're so mean, so mean that you are like the dangerous Medusa in this world. How could she be you, and how could you be her..."
George had a deep and impressive memory on the silver flower. This memory was so deep that it was only second to that for Laura.
Because, for so many years, almost every single woman he had possessed one trait- they all looked like Laura in some way, like their eyes, noses, mouths, voice, figures and even the view of their backs.
As for silver flower, it was all about the romantic charm. It was something that other women could never learn. It was something born with the silver flower that was nearly the same charm as Laura.
In the night of Halloween, silver flower put on a butterfly mask, wore a snow-white dress. He spotted her among the thousands of people, and he almost thought her to be Laura.
As a result, he did not hesitate and tried his best to go after her.
However, every time when she took off the mask, he had to admit that she looked nothing like Laura, so most of the time he preferred her to put on a mask, especially when having sex.
He knew that his mentality like this was extremely unfair and humiliating to silver flower, so he had had a quite complicated feeling toward silver slower. He loved her charm and body, but he didn't like her perfect face that was not worse than Laura's in any way. This was also the reason why he didn't put any efforts on looking for silver flower later on when he abandoned her for his career, plus, silver flower suddenly went missing at that time.
After all, she wasn't Laura!
Therefore, the name 'silver flower' had always been in his heart and he never forgot. However, he had already forgotten what she looked like. Thus, he couldn't recall it when Samantha took out the photo.
Samantha heard George's comments on her before and now. Before, she was the pure angel, but now she was the vile viper. Samantha couldn't help laughing out loud, and even tears dropped from her laughter.
In the end, she raised her eyes and stared at George harshly, "I used to be kind because I hadn't met you. Now I am mean because I ran into you. George, you can't even repay me with your death. I will let you suffer the most painful tortures in this world. There are two roads in front of you now: one, divorce with your wife Paige and marry me. I can forgive your past misdeeds and produce drugs you for the entire life; two, I will cut your channel of buying drugs. And you can only purchase them with the identity as a government official and smoke. Eventually, you will get caught and thrown into the jail, losing your future, power, fame and everything!"
The two choices Samantha gave him looked contradictory, but there was only one final purpose: the former choice could make her stay alongside George, torturing him with her whole life's time; the latter, needless to say, made George suffer even more.
