Rochelle shared the same opinion and sneered, “What’s the matter? Thinking of filing a lawsuit? Sure, I know quite a few lawyers.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She could assemble a legal team in minutes too.

Anyone who wanted to bully Samantha had to go through Rochelle first!

Clive knew Rochelle as Jonathan’s wife, and if Jonathan was unable to control her, how would Clive possibly dare to confront her head-on?

He pushed the spectacles on his nose bridge and said quickly, “You’ve both misunderstood. Mr. Barker has no intention of filing a lawsuit when he told me to come over today.”

Clive then looked at Samantha and said respectfully, “Ms. Larsson, Mr. Barker agrees to the two conditions you made and it will be added into the divorce agreement. You don’t need to worry because it would take effect as soon as you sign it!”

“However,” he continued after a pause, “Mr. Barker also put forward a condition.”

Rochelle’s temper flared up and she immediately said. “How dare he ask for a condition?”

He was lucky that Samantha did not divorce him and take away all his assets.

Samantha narrowed her eyes at Timothy. He was sitting there quietly and it was difficult to predict his mood because his handsome face was completely expressionless.

He made it clear that Clive would be left to handle everything and he would not interrupt.

He probably only sat there that day to prevent her from stirring trouble again like the last time, when she said that she would not talk to him if he did not show up.

As a result, he had to show up even if he did not want to.

Samantha sneered in her heart and was bitterly disappointed.

He truly was a ruthless man towards the women he did not love.

Samantha retracted her gaze and looked at Clive. “What condition is that?”

She was the gentler one, as always. Clive could not help wiping the thin layer of sweat from his forehead and explained, “Mr. Barker’s only condition is that he doesn’t want Old Madam Barker to know the real reason for your divorce. Your separation would be a peaceful one in her knowledge.”

“Heh.” Rochelle could not hold herself any longer and pointed straight at Timothy. “So you’re aware that the old lady will get angry if she finds out about all your shenanigans?”

The glow in Timothy’s eyes became darker but he ignored Rochelle’s jibes.

Samantha looked at Timothy again.

Was he putting forth that condition because he was afraid of angering his grandmother, or was he afraid that his grandmother would hate Harmony even more and forbid them to be together even more?

It was probably a bit of both.

He was very thoughtful when it came to Harmony.

Then again, that was nothing compared to all the other things he had previously done for Harmony.

Samantha was nothing but a tool from start to finish.

However, Samantha did not want to argue with him about that condition because she thought the same as well. She did not want the old lady to get angry because of their divorce.

The old lady’s failing health meant that she should not get be allowed to get angry. It would be dangerous if her body had any serious complications resulting from her excessive anger.

Samantha opened her lips and said, “You don’t need to add that condition. I agree not to let Grandma know about what happened.”

She looked right at Timothy and spoke without hiding her sarcasm, “Even though you were acting when you were being good to me, Grandma was truly sincere when she showed care and concern towards me. I’ll remember her kindness towards me.”

As for those who treated her badly, used her, and deceived her…she would remember every single one of them!

Timothy looked over at her.

There was no longer any tenderness or sweetness from the past, which all seemed to be an illusion.

He opened his lips and spoke coldly, “In that case, sign it.”

As soon as he spoke, Clive pushed forward the divorce agreement to Samantha and Timothy, who had one copy each.

He then said, “Mr. Barker, Ms. Larsson, have another good look at the divorce agreement. If you have any questions or disagreements, please raise them and I’ll answer. If you have no objections, then it’s sufficient for you to leave your signature at the last page.”

Timothy did not peruse it and simply turned to the last page. After unscrewing his pen, he signed his name right away.

Samantha looked at his movements and felt a little prick inside her heart.

She lowered her eyes, picked up the divorce agreement, and read it.

After all, she had to make sure to read it since it was made by Timothy’s lawyer.

Rochelle also came over to help her look.

Clive was an intelligent man, and if he sets any unfair conditions in the fine print, Samantha would stand to lose big.

She started to regret not bringing a couple of lawyers over to lend some support to Samantha.

Samantha went line by line and saw that the clauses had been changed according to her wishes.

Timothy had given half his shares in the Barker Group and would have to wait three years after the divorce before remarrying. If he got married during that period, his shares would then belong unconditionally to her.

That would prevent Timothy from breaking his promise because breaking it would entail losing the Barker Group.

That clause was a show of his sincerity.

Even Rochelle had to keep quiet because she could not find any fault with it.

Samantha turned to the last page and read line by line again.

Clive saw that she was almost done and asked softly, “Any questions, Ms. Larsson? If not, you may sign here.”

As he spoke, he picked up the pen very considerately and handed it to Samantha.

Samantha glanced at him and reached out to take the pen.

She held it in her hand and hovered over the place she was supposed to sign. When the tip of the pen was about to land, she froze and threw the pen away. Then she looked up and said, “I can’t sign it yet!”

Timothy frowned slightly and looked coldly at her as he asked, “Trying to pull a fast one on me?”

He had already promised such difficult conditions.

The other three looked at Samantha in surprise. Why was she still not signing? Was she just playing with Timothy before?

Samantha looked fearlessly into Timothy’s eyes and curled her lips, saying, “Oh? Didn’t your little mistress Harmony tell you what happened? She called me in a panic and cursed at me for being shameless, disgusting, and vicious. I’m just fulfilling her wishes and showing her how shameless, disgusting, and vicious I am!”

She could not be bothered to explain it to Timothy and put out another sentence, “If you want me to sign, I’ll happily sign it, but I’ll only do so when my third condition is fulfilled.”

“I’m not that patient either, so do it at eight o’clock tonight! Don’t be late for even a minute!”

“But if you don’t want your little mistress to be humiliated, then you and I will be forever tied and I won’t ever divorce you!”

After saying that, Samantha put on her sunglasses and said to Rochelle.. “Let’s go.”
