Chapter 231 - It Was Just to Get Revenge on You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Samantha pushed Timothy away in disgust and said coldly, “The only reason I got married to you is to get revenge on you, Timothy. Did you really think I loved you?”

“I’ve lost interest in you and I don’t want to continue playing games anymore. Be a man and divorce me!”

Everyone was shocked to hear those words!

How exciting!

Everyone knew about Timothy and Samantha’s ‘wedding of the century’ in which Timothy mercilessly broke off their marriage in public.

Who would have thought that everything would come full circle?

Two years later, it was Samantha’s turn to utter such words out on the street in front of everyone.

The conspicuous five-fingered mark that Samantha left on Timothy’s handsome face was a clear sign that Samantha did not spare even the slightest bit of dignity for him.

The man’s face sank and there was a gloominess within the depths of his eyes. A profound frigidity radiated from his entire body, forcing the surrounding bystanders to back off subconsciously.

Ronald had just arrived and his eyes widened in shock when he saw that scene. He immediately raised his hand and waved over the security guard at the entrance to get him to come along to Timothy’s side.

“Timothy, are you… Are you okay?” Ronald glanced at Timothy and asked in a low voice.

Timothy’s black eyes stared at Samantha sharply. His thin lips opened slightly and he spoke in a very cold tone. “You’re probably acting a little out of order because it’s been an exhausting couple of days for you.”

He glanced askance at Ronald and immediately instructed, “Send her back so she can get some rest!”

What a commanding tone!

Ronald nodded immediately. He gestured to the two security guards behind him and they immediately walked toward Samantha.

Samantha struggled as expected. “Don’t even think about sending me away, Timothy, not unless you explain yourself right here and n— Ounnghhm…”

Ronald had rushed forward to cover her mouth while the two security guards immediately restrained her on either side. They dragged her to the car and forced her in.

Ronald hurriedly sat in the driver’s seat. After starting the engine, he slammed on the accelerator and immediately drove away.

He was afraid that Samantha would cause irreparable damage if he delayed even a second longer!

As he drove the car, he persuaded bitterly, “Mrs. Barker, I don’t know what issues you and Mr. Barker have right now, but…he really does loves you. He went through a lot for you and even if he did something that made you unhappy, you should have…been a little more considerate of him.”

He has worked under Timothy for so long that he knew the man to possess an extremely rational and calm character. There were times where such rationality made him look like a robot rather than a human with emotions.

The only exception for him would be Samantha.

Timothy knew the decision that benefited him best during the recent serious incident. He usually made the right choices whenever he faced such situations, yet he could ignore all logic for the sake of protecting Samantha.

Ronald saw it all and felt moved despite being a grown man.

Samantha, who was sitting in the back seat, did not answer him. Thinking that she was not listening to his advice, he was about to continue persuading her when his cell phone rang all of a sudden.

Ronald glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was a call from Timothy. He answered it quickly and clicked on the loudspeaker, “Mr. Barker.”

The man’s icy voice came from the other end. “Send her to Exalt Medicare Center and handle her hospitalization!”

The ‘her’ he referred to was none other than Samantha.

Timothy’s mention of Exalt Medicare Center gave Ronald a huge shock.

That medical facility was specially dedicated to serving the rich and powerful—it was well-known among the upper-class as a ‘psychiatric hospital’.

Patients who had been sent there were, politely speaking, receiving treatment and nursed back to health. In reality, however, they were practically being imprisoned.

Ronald was utterly shocked.

He wondered if Timothy was going to break it off with Samantha.

What could possibly have happened that he was unaware of? Why did it happen so suddenly?

Ronald hesitated before asking, “Mr. Barker… Are you… Are you sure?”

“Isn’t this…just a small argument between husband and wife that can be easily settled in the bedroom? There’s…really no need to be so harsh, right?”

He could not help himself from looking up at the rearview mirror and said to Samantha, “Why don’t you apologize to Mr. Barker and say something nice to persuade him, Mrs. Barker? That place he’s going to send you to isn’t very fun.”

Leaving that place was not easy.

Ronald was surprised to see Samantha’s calm expression. She smiled and even said to him, “Just follow your boss’ wish, Mr. Crawford.”

That remark left Ronald speechless.

Did Samantha misspeak or did he mishear her words?

Samantha ignored the bewildered Ronald and said directly to the phone, “I knew you’d understand, Hubby! Stay tuned for my good news!”

She needed a legitimate way to go to the medical facility so that she could get a chance to approach the girl.

Moreover, her public falling out with Timothy provided a chance for busybodies and bystanders to spread the news about the quarrel. Although it was not a divorce, the EIA Group’s attitude toward the matter would probably tone down a bit since they paid so much attention to ​​public opinion. It bought some time for them to observe the situation and refrain from terminating the contract so quickly and eagerly.

In other words, she could kill two birds with one stone.

She did not discuss it with Timothy in the car because she knew the move would draw the ire of netizens once it was uploaded to the internet. Her main concern was that Timothy might disagree out of reluctance to see her be wronged, so she decided to act first and explain things later.

Fortunately, Timothy understood her intentions and cooperated with her.

The man’s deep and sweet voice sounded, “Be careful, Sammy. Don’t get hurt.”

“Roger that!” Samantha replied teasingly.

After a pause, she asked guiltily, “Did it hurt when I hit you just now? Remember to put on an ice compress.”

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt,” Timothy replied.

It was nowhere as painful as the suffering she had to endure while abroad.

He accepted that slap wholeheartedly.

He even accepted with an open heart the words she said in public.

Her actions were, at the very least, a small bit of payback for what he had done to her.

Samantha knew how much effort he had put in to make everything look realistic. She thought about it and said sincerely, “I’ll make sure to come back and give you a proper apology once this is all over! Mwah!”

“Mm.”

A second later, the man uttered rather stiffly, “Mwah.”

Ronald was utterly speechless.

As it turned out, the couple had tacitly put on a whole charade and he was the only one who took it seriously.

It was unhealthy for a single man like him to endure their affectionate acts!

Ronald decided to demand a raise from Timothy, or else he might just quit his job!

…

When they reached Exalt Medicare Center, Ronald forcefully ushered Samantha into the medical facility and admitted her there as a patient. He specifically arranged for her ward to be just next to the girl.

Samantha perked her ears and finally found out that the girl’s name was Renee Levy.

However, she could neither get to Renee nor enter the room because the bodyguard was constantly guarding her.

Time waited for no one, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

Samantha stared at the closed door to Renee’s ward and frowned tightly. She bit her nails time and again while trying to come up with an idea.

A thought then appeared suddenly in her mind as she laid her eyes on a certain something. Her eyes immediately lit up.

Samantha had found a way!
