Samantha closed her eyes as she could not bear it any longer.
Harmony smiled and found it quite refreshing.
Ever since her return to the country, Samantha had been despicable enough to pull all sorts of dirty tricks on her. It was very refreshing for Harmony when the tide finally turned at that moment.
What goes around comes around.
Karma was finally striking back, hard.
Harmony was certainly not about to let that opportunity go and wanted to rub more salt in Samanthaâs wound, but she saw Samantha opening her eyes slowly.
Rather than seeing the sadness in Samanthaâs expression, what Harmony saw instead was a little smirk.
Harmony was a little scared by Samanthaâs reaction. She wondered if Samantha was smiling like that after going crazy due to excessive provocation.
Samantha looked at Harmonyâs stunned expression and spoke in an indifferent voice as if none of Harmonyâs words affected her at all. âI told you once before, Harmony. Youâre too anxious.â
She looked at Harmony disdainfully from head to toe. âHave you already become his wife? Is the child already yours?â
âLast I checked, youâre not Mrs. Barker and the baby is still in my stomach. Did you seriously come to me just to show off even though nothingâs certain yet and you havenât even got anything to show for?â
As she spoke, she felt that it was laughable and chuckled out loud. âDo you seriously think Iâm the kind to offer you my right cheek after you slapped my left one? Is that why you came here to tell me all that?â
âIf I were you right now, I wouldâve turned around, ran away, and got lost if I saw myself from afar. Youâre one of those who live their life with their tail between their legs, so the least you could do is avoid provoking me before I deliver the baby.â
Samantha turned around and whispered in Harmonyâs ear in the same way Harmony did to her earlier, âDo you really expect me to give up my position and baby to you without a fight after what you said earlier?â
âKeep dreaming.â
Harmonyâs expression changed instantly.
She did not expect Samantha to still have a bit of fighting spirit left!
Any ordinary woman would have broken down under the pressure.
Harmony had seen that Samanthaâs psychological mettle had been crushed after the latter fled two nights ago. That was why she decided to follow up on that victory and continue delivering more blows to Samantha.
However, Samantha was still fine and standing!
Just what was Samanthaâs mettle built of?
Harmony, however, was smart enough to have learned from her past mistakes. She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and made sure to not be affected by Samanthaâs taunts.
She had not been careful enough the first couple of times and had always fallen for Samanthaâs goading. That was why she frequently had the tables turned on her in the end despite gaining the upper hand against Samantha.
Harmonyâs expression soon reverted to normal. She opened her innocent eyes and spoke in a seemingly considerate manner, âSammy, Iâm telling you all this in advance for your sake, so youâll be mentally prepared. Weâre both women, after all. Thereâs no reason why women should make things hard for other women.â
âAlso...â She looked at Samanthaâs stomach again and sighed softly. âYou still have to put in the effort even if you donât get anything out of it. The baby depends on you, you know.â
âYou donât have to worry about handing over your baby and your title as Mrs. Barker. Tim wants to give it to me. Iâm reminding you because I hope youâll back off and remain in one piece. By the time Tim decides to take things into his hands...â
Harmonyâs expression became pitiful. âYouâve been around Tim long enough, so you should know how merciless he is to women he doesnât have feelings for!â
She was finally competent enough to make a proper threat.
It succeeded in hurting Samantha, just a little.
However, Samanthaâs pain originated not from Harmony, but from Timothy.
The only person who could ever hurt Samantha was Timothy.
Samantha remained expressionless and continued to smile, âAh, Timothy, you say?â
âI might not know just how deep and unwavering your feelings are for each other, but from this moment on, Iâll go all out to win Timothyâs heart.â
âGo all out to win Timothyâs heart...â
Harmony nearly thought she had misheard it and her eyes widened suddenly.
She could understand every word individually, but for some reason, she found it difficult to comprehend those words when strung together into a sentence like that.
Samantha knew that Timothy was only taking advantage of her and had no feelings for her, and yet she was still determined to win Timothyâs heart?
As if noticing what Harmony was thinking, Samantha deliberately repeated her words. âYes, Iâm going all out to win Timothyâs heart.â
âThere are another nine months before the baby comes into the world, and weâll be spending every single day with each other for more than nine months.â
âEven if Timothy doesnât like me now, who knows whether heâll like me in the future? More importantly, Grandma likes me a lot and Timothy is extremely filial. If he could marry me just to fulfill Grandmaâs wishes, why canât he have feelings for me for Grandmaâs sake?â
Harmonyâs expression changed somewhat. She became a little anxious and stared angrily at Samantha, saying, âYouâre dreaming! Tim will never have feelings for you!â
Samantha shrugged her shoulders. âYour love for each other might be stronger than steel and I might not be able to change Timothy, but donât forget that this baby belongs to me. Weâre bound together by blood. This is something that Timothy and I share, something that cannot be cut off for the rest of our lives!â
âYou want my child to call you âmomâ? I can tell you right now that my child will never recognize a homewrecker as a mother! You can raise my child until they get older, but youâll also die in their hands!â
âHow... you... Samantha!â Harmony was so angry that she gritted her teeth while calling out Samanthaâs name.
She had even raised her hand and clenched her fist as if she was about to hit Samantha.
Samantha smiled and relished Harmonyâs collapse. In a battle of oratory skills and verbal attacks, Harmonyâs ability was not even a fraction of Samanthaâs.
She had genuine experience after doing emergency broadcasts countless times.
How could someone whose credentials only looked good on paper ever hope to be on par with Samanthaâs shrewdness?
Rather than avoiding the attack, Samantha took a step forward and lifted her chin. âFeel like hitting me? Go ahead. I wonât hit you back this time.â
âMake sure to aim well and hit my stomach!â
âAlthough, Iâm sure you know what the doctor said. Iâm emotionally unstable and I might lose the baby if I get too excited. Once the babyâs gone, so does that beautiful fantasy youâve all planned out.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAhhhhââ Harmony lost herself and could not help herself from screaming out loud.
She was very concerned about the child in Samanthaâs belly and did not dare to lay even a finger on Samantha.
Samantha stood still and waited for more than a minute, watching as Harmony never once dared to throw a punch despite being on the verge of exploding from all that pent-up anger. Samanthaâs lips twitched as she uttered, âCoward!â
She did not mind a fair competition at all, but Harmony was someone who only knew how to play tricks behind peopleâs back, which disgusted Samantha time and time again.
Samantha was no saintâshe was instead a vengeful person!
Things were just starting to heat up.
Samantha did not look at Harmony again. She lifted her feet and walked straight into the office lobby.
Harmony looked at her from behind and gritted her teeth fiercely. âJust you wait! You have no idea how Iâm going to destroy you after you deliver the baby!â
â¦
After Samantha went to her workstation, she recalled Harmonyâs actions earlier to confirm that Harmony really referred to the baby as âhersâ.
Samantha then took her cell phone out of her bag and sent a message: [The arrangements can now be made.]
