Chapter 388: ‘He’ Makes an Appearance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Harmony’s voice was trembling slightly. “Sir… Sir…”
She had received news that ‘he’ would attend the annual dinner that night. However, there was no sign of him ever since she arrived at the venue.
He should have been seated with the other guests of honor if he had been present.
She therefore assumed that he was busy with something or had other reasons for being absent.
It never occurred to her that he would show up, but perhaps he had kept a low profile all along and did not reveal his identity.
An extreme sense of dread came over Harmony’s expression.
In that case, had he been around to watch her resounding failure when her plot against Samantha ended up biting her back?
“Sir, I…” Harmony eagerly wanted to explain herself.
The man opened his lips and interrupted her. “Get up.”
There was a hollowness to his voice that somehow made him feel detached and untouchable from everyone else.
Harmony had no choice but to swallow the words she had intended to say. She stretched out her hand timidly and placed it onto his palm as she stood up slowly with the help of his strength.
…
Inside the bathroom, Samantha soothed her emotions and turned on the faucet before washing her hands.
She then took out some foundation and lipstick from her purse to touch up her makeup. After that, she adjusted her hair and skirt.
When she looked at herself in the mirror, she grimaced before letting her facial expression relax.
Her emotions had spiraled out of control earlier when Harmony brought up Matthew’s name. After all, the time had not yet come for her to do anything to Harmony just yet.
Timothy’s second personality would always protect Harmony, whether or not he genuinely loved her or whether he simply needed her to help him suppress his main personality.
She had to deal with Timothy in a roundabout way instead of opposing him outright.
Moreover, she had to pay with her life if she killed Harmony, which was not worth it at all!
Besides, Harmony’s death would be too easy if she died just like that. Samantha was adamant that Harmony must suffer a life that was worse than death!
A notification popped up on Samantha’s cell phone.
She returned to her senses and took her phone out to glance at the screen.
It was a WeTalk message from Rochelle, who praised her exaggeratedly for doing a good job!
Samantha could not help but smile.
She was really lucky to have a best friend who stood with her all the time, supported her, and fought side by side with her.
In reality, the incident at the hot spring the other day was a plan that Samantha hatched with Rochelle.
That newly opened spa was a birthday present from Jonathan to Rochelle, and the owner behind the scenes was none other than…Rochelle!
From the moment Harmony stepped into the spa, everything she said and did was reported as it was to Rochelle.
Once they knew that Harmony was there to find out whether Samantha had given birth to a child, Samantha was happy to let Harmony seek that confirmation. Although she did have a C-section, Vincent’s skills were so top-notch that the incision was made cleanly and the suture was done using cosmetic thread.
She underwent several procedures as soon as she gave birth, and the scars on her stomach were so faint that it was very difficult to see.
Rochelle somehow managed to get a sticker of a scar and it had a very realistic effect when pasted on Samantha’s stomach.
Harmony fell for it and even left behind a blank check.
Rochelle did not hesitate at all as she filled in the amount for five million and donated it to poor students in Matthew’s name.
Samantha wondered how Harmony might immediately vomit blood if she found out that the whole thing was orchestrated!
Harmony was quite unfortunate to have suffered so many losses after trying to trick her enemy!
Samantha decided it was about time she ended the chat with Rochelle as Timothy might have some complaints if she disappeared for so long.
Even though she was just being used as a tool, she was still going to fulfill her duty to the best of her abilities!
After all, she needed to establish a good relationship with the second personality prior to getting him to let his guard down slightly.
Samantha put away her cell phone, pushed the restroom door open, and walked out.
Between the toilet and the hall was a path leading to the outdoor garden.
When she passed by the place, she unconsciously glanced outside but unexpectedly chanced upon Harmony, who was standing there seemingly in tears while speaking to someone in a choked tone.
Unfortunately, she could not see who was standing beside Harmony due to the wall blocking.
All she saw was the man stretching out his hand towards Harmony. There was a handkerchief in his hand and he probably handed it over to her so she could wipe her tears.
Samantha could not help but raise her eyebrows.
Who was it that was comforting Harmony? Could it be Timothy?
Did he give his all to put a facade in the public eye but then rushed over to comfort his true love Harmony after knowing that Samantha had hurt her?
Samantha initially felt that Timothy’s love for Harmony and Timothy’s need for Harmony were balanced, with neither outweighing the other.
After all, based on her current understanding of Timothy’s second personality, he was a thoroughly indifferent person who most likely lacked a heart and the capability to love.
It seemed that she had been wrong.
Could Timothy’s second personality love Harmony more than he needed Harmony?
Samantha’s lips twitched and she felt like laughing.
Timothy’s second personality had possibly the worst judgment anyone could ever have. What did he see in a pretentious b*tch like Harmony?
None of that mattered though, because the second personality’s love interest had nothing to do with her and was not worth her time to be pondering over it.
Samantha was in no mood to see the two of them being affectionate with each other in a romantic place, for she did not want the sight of them to sting her eyes. As a result, she raised her feet and decided to leave.
The next second, Harmony’s respectful voice sounded. “Thank you, Sir.”
Samantha’s black eyes suddenly widened and she immediately halted her footsteps.
What did she just hear?
Did Harmony address him as…’Sir’? In such a respectful tone?
If that were the case, then the man beside Harmony was not the Timothy that she expected, but…the influential backer behind Harmony?
She had always guessed that there was someone powerful behind Harmony because Harmony alone could not have pulled off such feats time and time again.
In addition, when Samantha interrogated the doctor who poisoned Old Madam Barker, she had asked him whether anyone was supporting Harmony from behind the scenes. He did not issue any denial then.
Samantha never put much thought into that so-called backer and it came as a surprise that he showed up!
That man was Harmony’s backer, meaning he was the one who has been supporting Harmony all along, and the man who put Timothy, Old Madam Barker, Samantha, and Matthew in such a situation.
Samantha clenched her hands tightly as anger started to swell in the depths of her eyes.
‘Who is this person?’
‘What does that b*stard’s face look like?!’
‘Timothy, myself, Grandma, and Matthew…all of us were supposed to live a simple and happy life.’
‘But that man joined hands with Harmony and brought chaos to our lives.’
She needed to know who he was and why he did it!
Samantha closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.. There was an icy glow in her eyes by the time she reopened them, and she immediately lifted her feet to head towards the outdoor garden!
