Chapter 84

Samuel raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "Mr. Scott, if you're that keen on our skiing race, I'll gladly take you on. But first, let me teach Victoria some basic skills, otherwise, she would be so bored just watching us play."

After saying that, he gently winked at Victoria.

Seeing the two men at odds, Victoria suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Alice heard this, a shadow flickered in her eyes, and then she looked at William with a sweet smile and said coquettishly, "You still act like a child!"

A slight smile showed on William's lips, but he said nothing.

He glanced at Victoria again, then withdrew his gaze and said to Samuel, "Mr. Brown, how about we race on the professional ski slope in an hour?"

"Sure."

Victoria looked at the two men, each unwilling to back down, and sighed inwardly.

She had long experienced William's domineering and arrogant nature, but she didn't expect him to even hold a grudge against Samuel.

Alice pulled William towards the advanced ski slope.

The advanced ski slope was very steep, usually with a gradient of over 20-30 degrees.

Such a steep slope allowed skiers to reach very high speeds, which was a great test of their skills and courage.

Alice's skiing skills were good, and William's were even better. He led Alice down the steep slope effortlessly, as if it were flat ground.

Alice followed behind him, her beautiful and charming eyes filled with deep admiration.

But thinking of the annoying Victoria, her heart sank to the bottom.

She must find a way to make Victoria completely cut ties with William!

She lowered her eyes to hide the malice in them and sped up to catch up with William.

Victoria stared at them for a long time until Samuel pulled her towards the beginner's area, and she came back to her senses and followed him.

Samuel was wearing a black professional ski suit today, his tall and upright figure looking even more handsome in it.

His hair was slightly tousled by the wind, adding a bit of casualness. His gaze at Victoria was deep and warm.

He bent down slightly, carefully checking Victoria's ski bindings, and said softly, "Victoria, don't be nervous, skiing is actually very fun. First, we need to keep our balance, with our knees slightly bent."

As he spoke, he gently adjusted Victoria's posture with his hands, making her center of gravity more stable.

Victoria listened attentively to Samuel's explanation of skiing knowledge. Although she was initially nervous and stiff, afraid to take a step, she gradually relaxed and learned how to maintain her balance under Samuel's guidance.

Samuel patted her head appreciatively, "Great job! You've already got the hang of it."

Victoria shyly smiled and stood obediently by his side.

Samuel continued to patiently teach Victoria, "Now let's learn to turn. When turning, lean your body slightly in the direction of the turn, but not too much."

As he spoke, he demonstrated.

Samuel held her hand and led her down the slope.

Under Samuel's guidance, Victoria became more proficient and began to try skiing down a small slope on her own.

Samuel followed closely behind, ready to protect her at any moment.

Suddenly, Victoria lost her footing and fell forward.

Samuel was prepared and quickly caught Victoria in his arms.

Victoria stiffened for a moment but soon relaxed, letting him hold her.

Samuel looked down at Victoria in his arms, his gaze deep and tender.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Victoria struggled slightly, "Let... let go of me."

Samuel steadied her and smiled, "Alright."

After standing firm, Victoria suddenly felt a chill and looked up to see William had returned at some point, staring at her and Samuel with a cold gaze.

Victoria instinctively looked away, avoiding his gaze, and hurriedly left with a sense of panic.

William narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

Samuel also saw William and smirked before shouting, "Mr. Scott, is it time?"

William nodded coldly and pointed to the professional ski slope, "Please, Mr. Brown."

With that, William entered the professional ski slope first, followed by Samuel.

This was the most challenging ski slope, with a very steep gradient, usually around 30-40 degrees.

The terrain was also very complex, with possible cliffs, boulders, and forests, requiring extremely high skiing skills and experience.

Victoria stared at them, hesitating whether to follow and watch.

Alice came over, smiling as she took Victoria's arm, "Ms. Carter, let's go over there and take a look."

Victoria hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to follow Alice into the professional ski slope.

Samuel and William stood at the highest point, both handsome men attracting the attention of everyone on the ski field.

William coldly glanced at Victoria watching from a distance, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile before turning his gaze to Samuel and asking coldly, "Do you like her?"

As his words fell, Samuel's smile froze for a second, then he admitted without hesitation, "Yes."

"She doesn't like you."

"I know."

William frowned, "If you know, why are you still so stubborn?"

Samuel laughed, glancing at Victoria below, "Just because she doesn't like me now doesn't mean she won't in the future."

William sneered, "I advise you to give up early, she will never fall for you."

Unfazed by his provocation, Samuel replied, "She doesn't like me? Does she like you? Like you for bullying her to get back at her father?"

A flicker of panic crossed William's eyes. How did he know he was avenging Alvin?

He glared at Samuel, his voice harsh, "Samuel, I warn you, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of Victoria, don't blame me for being rude."

Samuel sneered, "What, angry out of shame? I'm just telling the truth. Someone like you doesn't deserve happiness. But don't worry, I never stoop to such low tactics to defeat my opponents. I will make Victoria genuinely fall in love with me."

Samuel finished and provocatively smiled at William, "Shall we start, Mr. Scott?"

"Fine," William said coldly.

Then, the two men leaped high and jumped onto the ski slope.

Both performed high-difficulty moves, stunning the crowd and drawing applause and cheers.

William took the lead, leaning forward, pushing off with his legs, and his skis gliding swiftly over the snow, kicking up a spray of snow.

He skillfully controlled his direction, navigating the steep slope as if it were flat ground, quickly weaving through the gates.

Samuel was not to be outdone, using his superb skills and excellent balance to closely follow William.
