Timothy was stunned and did not seem to have expected such a move from her.

The next second, he pushed Samantha away while Harmony screamed, “Samantha!”

Harmony shouted as if she was going to rip Samantha to shreds.

Samantha ignored Harmony and stood up straight. She looked up at Timothy and even had a provocative smile.

She thought she would see Timothy get angry but was surprised to see his gloomy eyes staring at her. Aside from his strong killing intent, there seemed to be…a trace of helplessness.

Samantha felt that she had misread him because Timothy could not possibly have had such an emotion. She calmed herself down and wanted to see more clearly, but Timothy had already stretched his long legs and turned around to leave the office.

All she saw was his tall and cold rear figure.

Samantha was stunned again.

Did Timothy just let it slide? She thought he was going to rush over and choke her again…

Could it be because Harmony was here? Could he have decided to ignore Samantha for the time being because he was in a hurry to comfort his true love Harmony?

Timothy walked out of the office without turning back, while Harmony remained where she was and appeared eager to pounce on Samantha.

When Samantha sensed Harmony’s gaze, she turned her attention from Timothy back to Harmony.

To be honest, she was always very pleased to see Harmony feeling defeated.

Harmony looked at Samantha’s smile and exploded with rage at Samantha’s smug look. Words were not enough to describe just how much she hated the woman in front of her.

She would still set fire to Samantha even if Samantha was already burnt to the bone!

She had no right to do anything against Samantha even after she saw Samantha kiss Timothy right under her nose. After all, her status was not enough to reprimand Samantha!

Harmony’s eyes turned red and she said angrily, “Tim’s never going to change his mind even if you use every trick up your sleeve!”

The reason Harmony went to the Barker Group that day was because Samantha had become its shareholder and clocked in for her first day of work. Harmony could not sit still when she received the news and immediately rushed over.

Although she knew that Samantha would not stop at just ruining her wedding to Timothy, she never thought that Samantha would be that shameless.

Timothy did not want Samantha anymore and yet Samantha was still as insistent as ever, going so far as to follow Timothy all the way to the company.

Simply thinking about that was enough to make her angry and she scolded again, “I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as you. Tim doesn’t want you anymore and yet you keep haunting him like a ghost!”

‘Shameless?’

Samantha folded her hands around her chest and sneered. “I pale in comparison to you when it comes to shamelessness. You’re well aware that Timothy is a married man and yet you keep haunting him like a ghost.”

She used the exact sentence Harmony used against her.

“You!” Harmony could not control her body from trembling.

“One more thing…” Samantha sneered, “Why should you be nervous if your Tim won’t change his mind about you? This anxiousness you’re showing right now will only show just how little confidence you have.”

After a pause, she blinked her eyes and pretended to cover her mouth in surprise. “Oh, wait a second, did I guess correctly?”

“Heh.” Harmony finally calmed down and smiled extremely confidently as she mocked, “What a waste of time to talk to someone as shameless as you.”

“Not having a proper wedding isn’t going to do anything to damage the love and affection Tim and I have for each other.”

As soon as she said that, Harmony turned and left with a triumphant smile.

Samantha frowned almost imperceptibly.

She had seen Harmony’s jealous look many times and found it to be a little odd, so she deliberately tried to provoke her using words and was surprised to hear such determination.

Harmony’s actions were a little contradictory but Samantha could not figure out why yet.

Was it because Timothy loved her so much and made her feel secure enough? Or could there be some other reason?

When Samantha walked over to close her office door, she saw Harmony entering the CEO’s office and closing the door behind her. Samantha closed the door as well and was happy that they were out of sight.

Although she no longer had any feelings for Timothy, she did not enjoy seeing Timothy and Harmony showing their love in front of her because it was disgusting.

From that day onward, Timothy no longer did anything to stop Samantha from coming to the company. Samantha, therefore, continued to serve as the Barker Group’s deputy CEO.

During the first few days, Samantha went to and from work without making any moves. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

After all, Timothy would definitely be on the alert if she did anything. She laid low and decided to wait for a few days, only planning her next move when Timothy let his guard down.

Of course, she had not been idle those few days either. She cased the entire building and even found out about Timothy’s itinerary from Ronald.

The key to success was in knowing thyself and thy enemy.

Harmony, meanwhile, was the first to stir trouble when Samantha had been keeping a low profile.

She came to the company to look for Timothy every day on the pretext of a project. Whenever she entered his office, she would stay there the entire day from nine to six. She came with Timothy and left with him, spending all her time inside the office.

Whenever it was time to clock off work, she would exit the office with reddened cheeks, disheveled clothes, messy hair, and a peachy look.

Those who saw her instantly knew what she and Timothy had done inside.

Samantha did not pay much attention to it, but it was difficult to avoid hearing it because everyone in the office was gossiping about it every single day.

After all, she was still legitimately the CEO’s wife and her office was opposite Timothy’s. When a side chick like Harmony set up camp in Timothy’s office every day, it was hard for anyone to contain themselves from gossiping about a situation that seemed to come right out of an eight o’clock soap opera.

In an era where information spreads easily, it was very difficult for Samantha to keep her ears free from all that.

Although she knew that Harmony was deliberately trying to disgust her, she still felt that Harmony had succeeded, albeit just a little.

Had it not been for Matthew’s sake, she would never have wanted to stay in that place for a second longer. Timothy and Harmony could be as affectionate as they wanted as long as they did not do so before her very eyes!

She complained to Rochelle on the phone, who then asked considerately, “Should I get Blockhead to tie Harmony up in a gunny sack and give her a smack?”

Samantha asked seriously, “How about you tell Blockhead to put a sack over Timothy and beat him up?”

The instigator was none other than that filthy scumbag Timothy!

Rochelle replied just as seriously, “Blockhead’s death is all but certain if he beats Timothy up. As annoying as Blockhead is, he doesn’t deserve to die.”

Samantha was amused. “Thank you, Chelle. I don’t feel that depressed anymore.”

“We’re practically sisters! What’s there to thank? I can only help you by lightening the mood. I won’t be able to help you with anything else anymore.”

After ending the call, Samantha glanced at the empty coffee cup and was prepared to head to the pantry to make another cup.

Just as she opened the door to exit her office, she saw that the door of the CEO’s office on the opposite end had opened too.

Timothy came out soon after and was wearing what was evidently a formal evening attire.

Samantha was a little surprised to see that. She knew Timothy’s daily schedule like the back of her hand and he had no banquets to attend that day. Was it a last-minute addition?

As Timothy stretched his long legs and strode away, Samantha pursed her lips and returned to the office. She then grabbed her phone and immediately sent a WeTalk message..
