Chapter 419

419 I’m Want One Last Thing from You

Samantha put down the hairdryer, picked up the phone, and tapped on the message.

[Good night, Sammy.]

She stared at the text for a few seconds and wanted to reply, but her finger hovered over the reply button and she finally switched off the screen and put away the phone.

Her mind was in a complete daze earlier but confusion started to sink in after she had calmed down.

It was not because she did not believe Timothy’s rhetoric, but the feeling Timothy gave her made her very confused.

She wondered if it was difficult for her to rediscover her feelings because they had been separated for too long and became slightly alienated from each other, or whether she still had doubts over whether the Timothy in front of her was the main personality.

Anything the main personality knew would also be known to the second personality.

She remembered the mysterious man all of a sudden.

…..

The mysterious man was someone who has known everything from the beginning, and he had to have some strong connection with Timothy. Furthermore, he was probably siding with the main personality!

She trusted that mysterious man more than ever and even wanted to ask him what the situation was at that moment.

The mysterious person was always the one who took the initiative to contact her, telling her what he wanted her to know while maintaining that she would not be able to contact her.

Despite that, she still wanted to ask him!

Samantha got up and walked over to the desk, where she switched on her laptop and typed an email to send it to the email address that the mysterious person had used to contact her before.

She did not know if the mysterious person would see it, but she still hoped that he would see it and give her a little hint!

Making a rash decision was unwise, and she had to observe the Timothy before her a little more.

…

Two days later, Harmony was formally charged.

As soon as the news came out, the reporters ran to the entrance of the Barker Group to camp there and try to get an interview with Timothy.

After all, everyone knows that Timothy was the de facto person behind the Barker Foundation. Harmony had a close relationship with him over the years and the two of them almost got married too. Therefore, everyone wanted to know why he abandoned Harmony so ruthlessly after something happened to her.

Was it voluntary or…did he have no other choice?

Timothy’s vehicle arrived at the door at nine o’clock.

The reporters rushed up in unison but were stopped by the security guards and prevented from approaching.

Ronald got out of the car first and opened the rear door. Timothy then got off, with his handsome face remaining as expressionless as ever as he strode in.

A reporter shouted from behind, “Mr. Barker, did your wife Mrs. Barker put pressure on you to pursue legal action against Harmony? I heard that she forced the board members to sue Harmony a few days ago!”

There was an uproar throughout the scene as that person made that remark.

None of them expected Samantha to do such a thing!

Timothy’s footsteps stopped and he turned around. He glanced over and his sharp eyes looked directly at the reporter who asked that question.

That one look alone caused the reporter to feel a chill down his spine. His gaze darted away and he did not even dare to look at Timothy.

Timothy glanced at everyone coldly and his lips parted open as he said clearly, “I have no obligation to explain this to the likes of you, but the action taken is my personal decision and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

“Mind your pens! If you fabricate lies and slander people, you’ll be…paying a heavy price!”

The reporters looked at each other instantly.

They understood what he meant.

If they so much as dared to say anything, they would have a miserable life ahead of them.

Timothy had always kept a low profile and never said such a thing to the media in public. When that reporter mentioned Samantha’s name, Timothy immediately gave them a merciless warning.

The weight he put on Samantha and Harmony, respectively, was abundantly clear.

…

During the lunch break, Harmony watched the news broadcast on television from within the jail. She stared at it for a while and was unable to believe what she saw and heard.

She counted the days and kept her fingers crossed just to wait for Timothy’s hypnosis to succeed. She waited for him to come back and save her, but when he did return, he ended up suing her rather than saving her!

It could not have been possible!

Harmony screamed, “Hello, somebody! I want a lawyer! Call my lawyer over! I want to see my lawyer!”

Could Roger have failed to accurately help her convey her intentions to Timothy? There was no other explanation for why Timothy would treat her like that! Roger probably ignored her after seeing her in dire straits!

Harmony was not yet sentenced and therefore had the right to request to see a lawyer, so the staff at the detention center helped her to contact Roger.

Roger walked into the room an hour later.

As soon as Harmony saw him, her black eyes looked fiercely at him and her tone was extremely sharp as she asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that Tim came back? Did you help me to communicate the situation accurately to him? Why did he sue me? Did something happen on his end? Does he have other plans?”

Roger pulled the chair and sat down. When he looked at her anxious and frantic eyes, all he had was sympathy for her.

He sympathized with how severely she failed to see reality.

Roger answered unhurriedly, “Mr. Barker was the one who decided to sue you. Nothing else happened and he doesn’t have any other plans. He simply believes that you should be held responsible for your wrongs!”

“No, impossible!” Harmony refuted it without a second thought. “My Tim would not do this to me! Either that slut Samantha is up to no good again or Tim had another plan. I understand Tim!

“Tim likes me! He wouldn’t be willing to lose me! He and I are a perfect match! Samantha has got to be the one who’s doing something disgusting again!”

Roger looked at her as if he was looking at a mentally unsound woman and did not even bother hiding his expression.

He finally knew why Harmony could not beat Samantha even after exhausting all her means.

The difference between their intelligence was simply too great. Even if she had the support of Donald, she was always doomed to end up being abandoned.

Roger did not want to waste any more words on her and said insipidly, “Ms. Johnson, I’ll be leaving if that’s all. My legal fees are calculated by the minute and…I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay up.”

He got up as soon as he ended his sentence.

Harmony was so angry that she raised her voice. “How dare you do this to me? I’ll have Tim kill you once I go out!”

Roger stood up without saying another word and turned around to leave!

Harmony got up and tried to chase after him, but the prison guard on the side immediately held her shoulders down and pressed her to the chair.

Unable to break free, she yelled at Roger from behind. “Roger! I have money! I can pay my legal fees! I just want to ask one last thing from you!”

Roger was unmoved and continued walking out.

Harmony did not want to let him go, so she blurted out, “I’ve deposited a large amount of gold in a bank. It’s worth a million. If you do this one thing for me, all that money will be yours!”

Money made the world go round and Roger immediately halted his footsteps.

He turned around to look at her and said, “Tell me what is it you want me to do, Ms. Johnson. Then I’ll decide whether this one million is worth taking the risk.”

Harmony said, “Lend me your cell phone right now. I want to call Tim! One million for one call. It’s more than worth it!”

He thought it would be something amoral and was surprised to hear that it was just a phone call…

It was more than worth it.

However, Roger still persuaded her, “Ms. Johnson, are you sure you want to exchange one million for a phone call? What if Mr. Barker won’t answer?”

“No! Tim will answer! He never refuses my calls!” Harmony was still very confident.

“Very well, if you insist.”

He was more than happy to fulfill it if she insisted on spending the last of her wealth.

Roger went back to her, took out his cell phone, and placed it on the table.

Harmony grabbed the phone and took a deep breath before quickly typing out the 11 numbers.

She heard the dial tone.

Roger was almost certain that Timothy would not answer because everything was already done and dusted. To his surprise, the call was connected the very next second!
