Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Rochelle could not contain her surprise. “Where are we going?”

Samantha looked straight ahead and said firmly, “The villa.”

Was that not the place where Samantha and Timothy lived after getting married?

What was her purpose for going there?

Rochelle was very curious. She moved her lips as if to ask why, but eventually decided against it and restrained herself. They then started their journey towards the villa.

When they arrived at the villa entrance, she parked the car at the parking space, got down, then walked to the villa with Samantha.

The door to the house was secured with a combination lock. Samantha had already confirmed with Aunt Julia that the password remained the same, so she swiftly entered the numbers and pushed the door open.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Samantha’s goal was very clear. When she entered the house, she walked directly to Old Madam Barker’s bedroom, which was still in a complete mess. The sight of dried blood on the ground and blanket was very shocking to look at.

Samantha’s heart tensed up.

Rochelle looked at the situation and frowned deeply.

Old Madam Barker’s condition appeared very serious, and no one could tell for sure if she would survive that...

Samantha took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She then lifted her feet over the mess and walked to the bedside table, where she lowered her eyes and glanced at the various medicines scattered around.

She stretched out her hand and picked it up one by one to look at and smell them carefully.

Rochelle could roughly guess Samantha’s purpose for coming there. She probably felt that Old Madam Barker’s illness was fishy and decided that she had to visit the villa to check the old lady’s medication.

Rochelle did not know a single thing about medicine and sat quietly aside to avoid disturbing Samantha.

When Samantha moved on to the third medication, her expression became a little solemn. When she picked up the fourth, which Aunt Julia said was a special medication, her expression changed drastically.

“What’s wrong, Sammy?” Rochelle looked over.

Samantha held the pill between her fingers, which were trembling slightly. Even her voice was faltering when she said, “This drug won’t save lives… This is a life-threatening drug!”

She could not be sure whether her sense of smell had made her overly sensitive to the third medication, although the possibility remained that it might contain trace amounts of harmful substances. However, she was nothing but certain that the fourth was poison!

The harm that could be caused to one’s body was immense, and a person could be killed if the dosage reached a certain level!

She had seen such drugs during her dark past.

Rochelle was also taken aback, “Are you sure, Sammy?”

How could anyone have the guts to poison the old lady so blatantly and unscrupulously?

Had Samantha not seen the drugs with her own eyes, she probably would not believe it too. She felt that no one would dare to do such a thing.

Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened.

If her guess was correct, then Old Madam Barker had vomited blood due to that fourth medicine.

However, Aunt Julia also said that the ‘special medicine’ was only to be taken once. Judging from the dosage, its effects would not have been that strong.

The only possible explanation was that a certain amount of poison had accumulated inside Old Madam Barker’s body, the sudden increase would then push her over the edge.

Samantha could not be completely sure that her guess was correct and decided to verify it.

Samantha took out a tissue, wrapped a couple of pills from medications number three and four, then placed them inside her pocket.

“Time to go, Chelle. We’ll need to visit somewhere else.”

Rochelle nodded.

Back in the car, Rochelle drove to the address Samantha provided.

There was some traffic jam on the road at the moment, so Rochelle had to brake at frequent intervals.

She glanced at Samantha from the side and sighed softly when she saw that Samantha had a tight frown.

After thinking for a while, she asked, “Sammy, if your guess is correct, then who could be so bold as to poison the old lady?”

Was there anyone who dared to lay a finger on her when the Barkers, the Barker Group, and Timothy were all in their prime now?

Even someone like Rochelle could not do anything despite wanting the scumbag to die.

Samantha’s eyes were cold and she opened her lips. “I can think of only one person.”

As soon as she said that, the first person to appear in Rochelle’s mind was Harmony. She asked incredulously, “Harmony’s the most likely suspect, but would she dare to do such a thing?”

Samantha sneered and replied firmly, “She would.”

Rochelle frowned. Did Harmony really have such courage to go against Timothy? Or had Timothy indulged her that much?

Seemingly knowing what Rochelle was thinking, Samantha added, “It’s because...Timothy practically shows no concern for his grandmother. Harmony would be bold enough to do such a thing because it helps in removing her obstacles.”

Earlier on the phone, Aunt Julia had recounted to her Timothy’s attitude towards Old Madam Barker during the past three years. Hearing everything sent a chill down Samantha’s spine.

That he could bring himself to treat his grandmother that way was evidence of his ruthless and cold-blooded nature.

Rochelle did not know what else to say and could only curse unceremoniously, “That scumbag really is a b*stard!”

He was a terrible person, both toward Samantha and his grandmother.

The car arrived at a laboratory.

Samantha sent the medicine in and paid extra to get the results quicker.

The test results finally came out after about an hour. As she expected, the fourth medicine was a high-dosage, dangerous poison while the third was something similar but in a much lower dosage.

The human body could excrete such toxins if they were consumed by accident on rare occasions. However, eating it constantly for many years would cause a snowball-like effect as the toxins accumulated.

Samantha clenched her hands tightly after hearing that.

Rochelle immediately exploded with rage. “That vicious woman Harmony makes me sick to the core.

“She must have wanted to use poison to kill the old lady slowly and stealthily. The sudden increase is probably because of her marriage to Timothy next month! She’s afraid that the old lady would do something to stop her and decided the old lady would be better off dead!”

After talking, Rochelle laughed in anger, “Timothy’s blind! How could he even like this kind of a woman? On second thought, a b*stard and a pretentious b*tch are a perfect match! They should be jailed.”

Samantha held the laboratory report and pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.

Before she knew it, it was already four in the evening.

Rochelle calmed down a little and reminded, “Sammy, we have to go back to the apartment to get your luggage. It’s time I send you to the airport.”

Delaying any longer would cause her to miss her flight.

Samantha looked up at Rochelle with a conflicted expression. “I feel like…I want to stay behind. At least until Grandma’s surgery is over...”

She could never leave with peace of mind otherwise.

Rochelle immediately knew the motivation behind that. “In that case, let’s go back to the apartment first. It’s not safe for you to be outside too long.”

“Okay.”

As soon as the car drove back to the apartment, Samantha’s cell phone rang.

She glanced at it and saw a call from Aunt Julia, which was probably to inform that Old Madam Barker’s operation was over...

Samantha immediately wondered if Old Madam Barker was lucky enough to survive or whether…she did not make it....
