TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 22

Samantha moved her body aside and avoided Opal’s attack.

Opal not only failed to land a hit on her, but nearly lost her footing because of that dodge. Her expression became increasingly unpleasant.

She stared fiercely at Samantha and yelled, “You’re exactly the kind of crooked media personnel who shows no regret even at this moment. Everyone, don’t just stand and look at her! We want her to realize her mistakes, and we’ll carry her to Linda and make sure she bows down to apologize!”

At Opal’s instigation, the students’ emotions were all stirred up and they charged right toward Samantha.

Although she might be able to dodge only one person, it was impossible for her to do so when there were so many people surrounding her.

They attacked in a disorderly fashion by pulling her clothes, yanking her hair, and scratching wherever their hands could reach. To make things worse, they even used whatever they were holding as weapons to hit her.

Samantha resisted their attacks while figuring out a way to escape. She was not that delusional to think that she could fight so many people by herself, and she was well aware that the group of students would tear her apart when her strength gradually weakened.

Since the extent to which they were incited had reached such an extent, they could easily lose their control and end up hurting her using much worse means.

Samantha leaned against the wall as much as she could so only the front of her body was open to the attacks, rather than both her front and her back. She glanced around quickly and saw that most of the girls were on her left while the strong-looking boys were to her right. She immediately chose the left as her escape route.

She feigned an attempt to escape from the right and lifted her leg to deliver a kick at the boys. They quickly realized her intention and dodged the kick, but she changed her trajectory at the last minute and swept her long legs to the left, tripping several of the girls.

“Ahh—”

They did not expect her to attack and collapsed into a heap all of a sudden.

Samantha took the opportunity to escape from them and ran away immediately.

The students went blank for a few seconds before they reacted and said, “How dare she fight back! Come on girls, don’t let her escape! We have to catch her! Go!”

Everyone ran after her.

Samantha used whatever strength she had to run forward. Although she did manage to outrun the group of girls, some of the boys had gradually caught up.

They managed to grasp her clothes and bags several times, but she managed to break free and continued to run without pausing for a break.

However, when she was about to reach a sharp corner ahead, she failed to pay attention to the situation in front because she had constantly been wary of the people catching up to her from behind. A discarded wine bottle appeared out of nowhere and she slipped as soon as she stepped on it. Her entire body fell forward and she landed heavily onto the ground with a thud.

Samantha groaned in pain.

Her knees and palms started bleeding as soon as they hit the ground and blood had begun to flow.

She ignored the pain in an attempt to get up again, but she had only stood up halfway when the searing pain in her knees caused her feet to turn limp as she collapsed again.

At the same time, a few male students had chased up to her and grabbed her by the arms to pin her down.

One of the chubbier male students was gasping heavily for air and his eyes had turned red. He shoved Samantha’s head forcefully and taunted, “Run! Why aren’t you running!”

Opal finally arrived along with her other female classmates and there was a malicious expression on her face. “We gave you a chance, Samantha, but since you didn’t cherish it, we have no choice but to show the world your true colors!”

At the end of her remark, she proposed to all her classmates, “How about we write all of her sins down on posters and stick them on her to parade her on the street!”

“Count me in! There’s no need to show mercy to an evil person like her!”

“Okay, let’s get those posters ready!”

Several female students took out papers and pens and quickly wrote down her various misdeeds. They then placed the posters on her body and used their feet to stamp them down and paste them on her.

Several male students were pressing her down forcefully and she was unable to break free or resist at all.

Her body was almost completely covered with posters and placards. The black words contrasted strongly against the white background and spelled out just how atrocious and evil she was. Opal sneered angrily and said, “Pull her up! There’s a business street upfront! We’ll bring her over and parade her there!”

Another student said, “I’ll record a video! That’ll give her some publicity on the internet!”

The second offered, “I brought along a small megaphone! I can stand beside her and yell in protest!”

A third student remarked, “Yeah, she wants to be famous right? Doesn’t she want to make a name for herself? We can definitely help her with that and give her the attention she needs!”

Opal nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, let’s start!”

The boys tightened their grip on Samantha’s arms and lifted her entire body up while several girls pointed their cell phone cameras at her. The girl with the small megaphone cleared her throat a few times and said toward the passers-by, “Hello every—”

Before she could continue any further, she screamed all of a sudden. “Ahh—”

A strong force knocked down the megaphone she was holding.

Everyone was surprised when they laid eyes on the tall and dour-looking man who appeared suddenly before them.

The man had a handsome and chiseled face, but the coldness exuding from his body unconsciously sent chills down everyone’s spines and forced them into taking a step back.

There was an endless fluctuation of emotion in Samantha’s eyes when she looked up and saw the man.

The boys were the first to react, and the chubby one stepped forward to protect the group of girls. He stretched out his hand to push the man’s shoulder and asked fiercely, “Who the hell are you? It’s rude to stand in peo—”

His wrist was clenched by the man before he could finish his words.

The next second, the chubby boy’s face had a painful expression when the man moved his beautifully slender fingers.

“Was this the hand that touched her?” the man asked and grinned coldly.

Moments later, he twisted the chubby boy’s arm and drew out a scream. The boy’s arm then turned limp after being completely dislocated.

Everyone started to panic when they saw that.

At that moment, everyone finally recognized the identity of that handsome and ruthless man. It was none other than Timothy Barker, the renowned Barker Group’s CEO.

He was also Samantha’s husband.

Timothy let go of the chubby boy and glanced coldly across the crowd. His lips then parted open slightly and he uttered a single word, “Scram.”

The formidable aura from him would scare even a group of adults, let alone a group of students.

Everyone exchanged glances in fear and immediately wanted to retreat.

Opal was the only one who did not give up. She gritted her teeth while still trembling and said, “Mr.… Mr. Barker, we were just trying to get justice for our friend. All those horrible things your wife has done pushed our friend Linda to attempt suicide! She still hasn’t woken up until today! We did nothing wrong!”

“Do you think you can shield your wife just because you’re powerful? Do you think you can do as you please without taking responsibility for your actions just because you’re rich?”
