Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If that was so, then Timothy and Harmony were committing bigamy with their marriage.

Harmony’s eyes widened in shock. ‘Tim hasn’t divorced Samantha yet? How is this possible?’

“You… You’re just spouting nonsense!” She ignored the pain on her face and retorted fiercely, “You’re willing to cook up all sorts of lies just to ruin my wedding with Tim!”

There seemed to be a dim glow in the depths of Timothy’s eyes.

Samantha sneered, “You just need to check to find out if Timothy and I are still married!”

Such a determined tone left Harmony speechless again.

She was very well aware that Samantha would not have dared to say such a thing in front of the public without being sure of it.

Furthermore, she had earlier hinted for the media people to start filming them, so it was likely that the slap she received from Samantha had been broadcasted live, as was Samantha’s revelation on still being the official Mrs. Barker.

Harmony had willingly offered herself up to be humiliated by Samantha!

Why was it that Samantha always spelled bad news for Harmony whenever she showed up? Harmony hated her with a vengeance because she should be rotting in hell at that moment instead of showing up at the wedding!

Harmony wanted nothing more than to jump up, pounce on her, and tear her to shreds. However, all eyes were on them, and Harmony could not do anything despite the immense anger.

Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, but no one could tell whether she was angry or aggrieved. She turned her head to look at Timothy and called out to him in a hoarse voice, “Tim...”

Tears immediately rolled down her eyes. “Wh-what’s going on?”

Timothy lowered his eyes to glance at Harmony on the ground and subsequently raised his hand.

The bodyguards who were waiting at the side understood at once and began walking toward the guests and the media. In a polite yet coercive manner, they said, “Please leave.”

The bodyguards did their job with the utmost professionalism and the bustling church was cleared within just a few minutes, leaving behind only Timothy, Samantha, Harmony, the bodyguards standing in a row at the door, and Ronald who was still reeling from the shock.

Samantha was the first to move. She lifted her feet past Harmony and walked up to Timothy, where she stood still and looked up at him stubbornly.

She skipped the pleasantries and merely said bluntly, “Give me back my son, Timothy, or else I’ll make sure you won’t be able to get married again for the rest of your life!”

Samantha’s initial plan was to remain ‘dead’. She did not want to get involved in Timothy’s marriage to Harmony. His future wife had nothing to do with her and her emotions would remain unaffected by it.

If he so much as lay a finger on Matthew, she would definitely fight him until the very end!

She was willing to move past her hatred and resentment as well as forget all the harm Timothy had done to her. She just wanted to live a plain and ordinary life, for Matthew’s sake.

There was no longer anything for her to live for if Matthew was gone, and should that happen, she did not know what kind of person she would become and what kind of things she would do!

The man looked at her for a few seconds before curling his lips up in an evil grin.

His long fingers reached out all of a sudden and held Samantha’s chin. His grasp and speed were so firm and quick that Samantha could not react in time. Her body was pulled toward him and she could not break free from his grip.

Samantha was deeply shocked by what he did.

Although she once saw Timothy do similarly powerful and terrifying acts, he never looked like a psychopathic pervert on any of those occasions.

Was Timothy more tolerant of her when they argued before, or did he hide his true nature whenever he was in front of her?

Timothy’s lips parted open and he remarked in a frigid tone, “You’re brave, Samantha.”

She dared to show up in front of him again rather than remain in hiding after surviving the ordeal.

She single-handedly sabotaged his wedding and made demands to him.

Rochelle had been telling Samantha that Timothy’s character had changed a lot in the past three years. He had since developed a dangerous aura that sent chills down a person’s spine.

Those remarks were true, it seemed.

Samantha’s back felt a little chilly due to Timothy’s remarks.

Given the choice, she did want anything to do with him, much less make herself an enemy of him. Unfortunately, backing down was not an option, not when Matthew’s life was at stake.

Samantha did not feel scared at all. She looked him in the eye and repeated word for word, “Give me back my child!”

Timothy’s smile widened.

He lowered his eyes, glanced at her angry little face, and finally answered her question. However, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cruel. “He’s dead.”

He was provoking her.

Samantha’s pupils contracted all of a sudden and she nearly stopped breathing.

“You, on the other hand, should’ve died three years ago. Don’t expect to make it out now that you’re here.”

Timothy smiled maliciously. “You want to see your child, don’t you? I’ll personally...send you there!”

He reached for his waist with his other hand, took out a small gun, and pressed it to Samantha’s eyebrows.

Three years ago, the pain she felt was thoroughly heart-wrenching when she was tied to the pole in the sea and saw the killer mouthing the words ‘Mr. Barker’.

She had become numb to everything since then.

After all, she knew exactly how much Timothy hated her.

Was Matthew…really dead?

If Timothy ordered the hit, then the chances of him surviving were close to zero.

Although Samantha would not want to continue living anymore if Matthew truly was dead, she was never going to let the perpetrator go!

It seemed that she was fated to be entangled with Timothy until her last moments!

She had already prepared for the worst when she drove like the wind to the church. As a result, she was actually beyond calm at that moment.

An extremely thin needle appeared from her fingernails and she pinched it between her fingers.

On the tip of the needle was a very strong poison.

Anesthetics did not affect Timothy when she used them on him before, but the needle was different in that it was laced with a generous amount of poison.

Moreover, she had identified an acupuncture point and would be able to prick him at just the right spot.

Timothy would surely die along with her when he pulled the trigger!

That would be his atonement for everything he did to her, and he could then join Matthew in the afterlife too!

Harmony watched the scene excitedly.

Timothy did not disappoint her at all. Even if Samantha survived and appeared in front of him again, he would still kill her once more!

Samantha’s marriage to Timothy would be void once she was dead, and no other obstacle would stand in Harmony’s way anymore.

Harmony’s gloominess disappeared and she could not help but smile again.

Ronald was shell-shocked by everything and could not help but yell at the top of his lungs, “No, Mr. Barker! Don’t do it! Please let Ms. Larsson go! Just let her go!”

He had just seen Samantha come to life again and he did not want her to die a second time!

His first instinct was to run toward Timothy and Samantha, but the bodyguard grabbed his arm and held him down.

Timothy looked at Samantha’s unwavering expression, and his evil smile became more prominent. There was a sinister and murderous look in his eyes as he cocked the gun.

“So long.”
