Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the other side answered the call, he said bluntly, “I now have photos of Samantha with another man. Do you want them?”
…
Inside the president’s office at the Barker Foundation, Harmony was stunned after hearing what was said on the phone. She then replied, “I’d have to look at the photos before deciding whether they’re worth it.”
The reporter, whose na was Ian Snell, was one of the reporters whom she knew well. She had invited him to her wedding too.
Ian was happy to send the pictures and imdiately sent them through WeTalk.
Harmony opened it and took a look.
A man and a woman were standing together inside the photo. The woman raised her head and smiled at the man, while the man gazed down at her and stroked her head fondly.
The woman was Samantha, and the man was...Alan Sherwood, also known as the famous Little St. John.
Harmony knew that there were rumors involving Samantha and Alan before, but that was later smothered by Timothy’s announcent of his wedding to Samantha.
She never expected Samantha to remain in touch with him, and from the interaction in the photos, they seed to be very close.
Samantha had a knack for choosing n and seed to target those who were especially powerful!
She has always wondered how Samantha survived three years ago and how Samantha was able to pull off laying low for three whole years.
Could she have been rescued by Alan and had been with him for the past three years?
‘To think that Samantha has the decency to ridicule for being a mistress who got involved with Timothy.’
‘She’s no better than . In fact, she’s worse than I am!’
‘It’s disgusting that she wants to lead both sides on by getting all affectionate with other n while at the sa ti refusing to divorce Timothy.’
The thought of such a woman still occupying the position of Mrs. Barker made Harmony grit her teeth with anger. She was supposed to be the new Mrs. Barker and stand rightfully by Timothy’s side!
Harmony pondered for a mont and her eyes lit up slightly.
Ever since Samantha reappeared, she ruined Harmony’s wedding and prevented Timothy from being able to divorce her imdiately. She even acquired the Barker Group’s shares and beca its second-largest shareholder. To make things even worse, she started going to work at the Barker Group to strut around in front of Timothy every day.
Harmony was very angry at her and felt extrely dissatisfied too!
It was only when Samantha disappeared without a trace that there would never be any obstacles between Harmony and Timothy again!
Samantha had always used public opinion to oppress Harmony and ruin the good reputation that had been built up through the years.
Therefore, Harmony was going to give Samantha a taste of her own dicine!
Samantha should get a good taste of ruin and defeat!
Harmony then said to Ian, “Alright, I want all the photos you took. You’ll be paid a handso sum, but...if you can get more information about Samantha and Little St. John, I’m willing to pay more, especially if you can dig up sothing more valuable!”
Ian was imdiately sent into a frenzy after listening to her words. He answered imdiately, “If you say so, Ms. Johnson, my team and I won’t let you down! Hang on tight for our good news!”
Harmony has spared no expense in terms of public relations in order to clear her na in the past three years.
She might be hypocritical, but she was very generous with her money. That was why the reporters were still quite willing to serve her.
After all, money makes the world go round!
Harmony put down her phone and leaned back in her chair. The depression that accumulated during the past few days vanished and she could not help but let out a laugh.
Samantha lost to Harmony three years ago and was defeated so badly that she almost lost her life.
Her return ant nothing because she was destined to lose to Harmony again!
Things were different from three years ago. Harmony had Timothy, money, and connections, while Samantha had nothing. What was Samantha going to use to fight against her?
Harmony was in a good mood. She made an internal call and instructed her assistant to order so afternoon tea as a treat for everyone in the organization.
…
Rochelle was preparing to leave earlier to get a al with Samantha, but as soon as she walked out of the office, she saw Harmony’s secretary walking over with cake and coffee.
The assistant asked her politely, “Ms. Tyrell, Ms. Johnson is treating everyone to afternoon tea today. Would you like so?”
Rochelle cocked her eyebrows slightly.
Harmony had frequently done such small gestures in the past three years to try and win everyone’s hearts.
However, Samantha’s return had left Harmony feeling beaten ti and ti again. She beca sowhat of a ‘walking dynamite’ every day at the foundation, the kind that would explode at any ti whatsoever.
It had been a long ti since Harmony was in such a good mood to invite everyone for so afternoon tea.
“No, I’m afraid of choking on her afternoon tea.” Rochelle spared no courtesy, as always.
The secretary had gotten used to it as well so she smiled and turned to leave.
“Wait,” Rochelle called out again.
The secretary stopped walking at once. “Yes, Ms. Tyrell?”
Rochelle raised her chin and gestured toward Harmony’s office. “She’s in a good mood today?”
The secretary nodded. “It appears so. She was smiling when she told to prepare the afternoon tea.”
“Is that so...” Rochelle pondered and said, “That’s all. You may go.”
“Okay.” The secretary left.
Rochelle drove the car and ca to the restaurant where she made reservations earlier. Samantha arrived as soon as Rochelle sat down in the VIP room and she said with a smile, “Ah! You’re already here.”
Samantha went over and sat down with a smile.
When Rochelle saw Samantha smiling and in a good mood, she wondered just what day it was and why everyone was in a good mood.
Rochelle poured a cup of tea for Samantha and pushed it to her while asking, “Didn’t Dr. Sherwood leave today? Why are you so happy? Could there be...any news about Matt?”
“No.” Samantha sipped so tea. “I got in touch with my master. He rescued and helped in the past. I’m very happy to hear that he’s not only doing well but is also a very renowned psychologist.”
She briefly told the story about her and her master.
Samantha had always avoided talking about it before, but when she finally could bring herself to tell the story so calmly, Rochelle was both surprised and happy for her.
It was good that she was able to let go of everything bad in the past.
Even so, it ca as a surprise that Samantha had experienced sothing so cruel, but on the bright side, it was all in the past.
Rochelle asked, “So… Have you already decided whether or not you want to reawaken Timothy’s main personality? Doing that won’t be easy, and you’ll likely be in a lot of danger again. Have you...really thought it through?”
After all, Timothy’s second personality isn’t a good person.
It was an extrely dangerous personality.
It was dark and even possessed so morbid, violent, and anti-social tendencies.
Samantha nodded without hesitation. “I’ve thought about it and I have to do it.”
“What is so scary about Timothy if I’ve managed to escape a place like the ‘underworld’? Have a little confidence in , okay?”
Rochelle sighed. “If giving you confidence was of any use, I’ll give you as much confidence as you want. I’ll still tell you the sa thing though: I’ll support you regardless of your decision and I’ll always be your backer.”
Samantha smiled warmly.
“Do you have any plans, then?”
“Plans?” Samantha thought for a while and said, “Since Harmony has been suppressing the main personality with hypnosis, the first task is of course to separate Harmony from Timothy. At the very least she should be prevented from staying by his side all the ti.”
Rochelle thought of sothing and smiled. “Harmony must have had the sa ideas too. She’s in a very good mood today, so I think she’s up to no good against you again!”
“Oh?” Samantha’s expression remained unwavering and she drank her tea nonchalantly. “Is that so?”
“...Aren’t you worried at all?” Rochelle frowned.
Samantha shrugged. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
Getting anxious would not get her anywhere.
Rochelle felt a little annoyed that Samantha was so calm. “Don’t underestimate Harmony. Be careful not to fall headfirst into her traps.”
The most despicable people are usually the hardest to guard against.
She did not want a repeat of the sa mistakes three years ago.
Samantha smiled.
…
Two days later, Ian called Harmony again and she answered it imdiately.
After listening to what the other side told her, Harmony’s lips curled up in a little smirk and her eyes lit up too.
