Chapter 404: Getting Jealous
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Samantha subconsciously looked up and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was nine o’clock in the momning, which tallied with the ti she predicted for Harmony to issue a response.
She smirked and asked, “How did she respond? Did she send a legal notice?”
Rochelle gasped and asked in shock and admiration, “How do you know that? Did you predict that would happen? Or did you like…crawl under Harmony’s bed in the middle of the night?”
Samantha smiled faintly and said, “I know her, that’s all.”
Harmony did send a legal notice and had done so through a lawyer.
The words used in the lawyer’s letter were direct and intimidating.
She denounced the baseless rumors circling the internet that she ‘hired a hitman’ and made it clear that she would use legal ans to defend her rights and sue the reporter!
Aside from that, she would be happy to take anyone who still doubted her to court!
Harmony’s response was so strong that it imdiately swayed the group of people who doubted her. After all, she was alleged to have committed a cri, and the only reason she could say that so boldly was if…she did not do it in the first place.
After all, she would not have dared to issue a legal notice if she really committed a cri that serious.
Rochelle briefly gave Samantha a rundown of what happened and said, “Brave of Harmony to lie so blatantly.”
Samantha then explained, “Because she knows that Dr. Highton will never co back to the country. Even if Dr. Highton does dare to take the risk and return, she’ll definitely arrange for her people to intercept him at the airport. As long as Dr. Highton steps into Capital City, she will catch him and make
sure that he has no chance of testifying against her.”
“And in this regard, Dr. Highton is a key witness. As long as she gets hold of Dr. Highton, she doesn’t need to worry about everything coming to light, so it’s normal for her to feel calm.”
Rochelle was in awe. “Sammy, did you predict all of this in advance? Why do you have to take this step then? Wouldn’t doing this just allow Harmony to escape easily and not be able to force her to show up? All of our efforts will be in vain!”
Samantha smiled, “It won’t be in vain. Relying on this alone is unfeasible. I still have my next move.”
She did not explain any further but changed the subject instead, “Did you do what I asked you to do yesterday, Chelle?”
Before Rochelle left the previous day, Samantha had asked Rochelle to dig up all the accounts from the Barker Foundation in the past three years. A group of elite accountants was then summoned to wait for further instructions.
Rochelle responded imdiately, “It’s done. They’re waiting for your go-ahead.”
She was still unable to hold her curiosity back and asked, “What do you need all these for, Sammy?”
Samantha uttered succinctly, “To check the accounts!”
Rochelle felt as if her brain had short-circuited.
Rather than answering Rochelle’s puzzlent, she asked, “Rember when Harmony generously signed that blank check when she was in the spa?”
“Yeah, of course. What’s wrong with that blank check?”
Samantha said bluntly, “I saw that blank check at the ti and there was her signature on it, which ans she paid money from her own account. During the past three years, Harmony would need money to socialize in the circle and with the dia, money which she spends without a care in the world
and very generously too.
“Harmony might not lack money, but she’s not overly rich either. What she wears and accessorizes with whenever she shows up in public costs at least millions, and then there are all kinds of other expenses too. Her salary and dividends from the Barker Foundation can’t support her lavish lifestyle!”
“Then where did her money co from?”
Rochelle understood what Samantha’s reasoning was. She never noticed that aspect before, but began to have suspicions after hearing what Samantha had to say.
Even though Rochelle had joined the Barker Foundation a bit later than Harmony, their salaries and dividends were not much different from each other.
There would be significant earnings after three years, but not enough to sustain Harmony’s uncontrolled spending!
If it was not her own money…
Rochelle frowned. “Could Timothy have given it to her?”
Harmony would have had the confidence if that was Timothy’s money since such sums were not even worth a ntion for Timothy.
Samantha replied without even having to think. “No!”
What a decisive answer!
Rochelle was silent for a mont before saying, “Sammy, even though we’re like sisters, I have to remind you that Harmony is considered to be Timothy’s woman during the past three years… It’s normal for her to spend his money… Don’t get jealous and let that affect your judgnt!”
Samantha facepald. “What are you thinking? What’s there for to be jealous about?”
“The reason I’m confident is because…Timothy’s black card was given to . I have the right to check all the funds used in the past three years.”
“Lhave earlier asked the bank to give the bank statents and I’ve seen them all. Timothy has not given Harmony much money in the past three years, and Harmony hasn’t been authorized to swipe his card. When it cos to this card, the only people authorized to use it are Timothy and !”
Rochelle laughed all of a sudden. “Harmony has been showing off how much she and Timothy are in love this week, but she never even laid her hands on Timothy’s black card?”
“Is it possible that she never even touched his hand?”
“In that case, we won, Sammy! At least you were able to get bored of sleeping with Timothy and you can swipe his black card as you please. Now you’re still husband and wife and you have almost half the Barker Group’s shares! Besides, you still have Matthew, who is Timothy’s only heir!”
The conversation was steering down the wrong path.
Samantha cleared her throat a couple of tis and forced her to stay on topic. “Be serious! Harmony’s source of funds is very suspicious.”
Rochelle imdiately put away her teasing tone. “I see what you an. You want those accountants to check Harmony’s accounts because her money might have been stolen from the Barker Foundation, am I right?”
“Yes.” Samantha smiled coldly. “As long as we can prove that there are problems with the accounts, we can hand over the evidence to the Financial Cri Investigation Departnt. Her troubles are just about to begin!”
If Harmony is involved in a financial cri, her integrity will be rendered worthless once the case is filed. The murder case she previously denied would once again be dug up.
By then, no one would believe her lies any longer.
‘When that ti ca, Paul could co back to testify against her without having anything to worry about!
Samantha would definitely make sure that Harmony would be held accountable for all the cris that had been committed!
“You’re amazing, Sammy! I’ll have them start checking the accounts right now, but it’ll take ti because there’s just too much to go through!”
Samantha nodded. “Okay. Just have it done as soon as possible!”
On acertain island.
‘When ‘he’ entered the room with Timothy to comnce their daily hypnosis session, Harmony took out her cell phone and inserted a SIM card to call her lawyer.
‘The lawyer gave her a recap. “Things have settled down, so you don’t need to worry!”
Harmony smiled smugly. “And here I thought Samantha was capable of more than just that. Using soone as insignificant as Dr. Highton to attack is futile!”
“Tl be sure to settle things with her when I bring Tim back in a month!”
She wanted to make sure that Samantha would repent for all those actions by kneeling in front of her!
After ending the call, Harmony looked up at the hypnosis room full of anticipation in her eyes.
She could already imagine that after a month—or rather, after 25 days considering how five days have already passed—she would be able to hold Timothy’s hand and return to Capital City to slap everyone in the face.
She would beco the legitimate Mrs. Barker in the future, the only woman who was fit to stand beside Timothy!
After the accounts had been checked for three days, everything was put into a report that Rochelle handed to Samantha…
