TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE, VOLUME 3 - Season 4 Episode 44

[If anything happens to Old Madam Barker in the future, all these things would be made public. You’d better start to pray for her health and long life from this moment onward!]

After sending it, Samantha immediately removed the SIM card from the phone and broke it in half before tossing it into the bin.

Rochelle was a little surprised. “Are you sure this will do, Sammy?”

Samantha nodded. “It’ll do.”

Rochelle frowned slightly.

Samantha could not help smiling as she explained, “Chelle, the reason I delayed those three messages and sent them out over such long intervals was because I was using psychological warfare.”

“People are less scared of things that they know compared to the unknown. True panic and fear come from the unknown!”

“All I have are these two pieces of evidence. I’ve sent them both to Harmony, but she won’t feel that way. If she knows that I’m brave enough to send her such important evidence, she would probably think that I have more evidence on her! In addition, she’ll be more fearful of me because she doesn’t know who I am. That would make her think twice if she ever decides to act rashly again.”

“None of these threats would have any effect on Harmony if she was the kind of person who lived her life honestly. She’s scared only because she’s a despicable character who has done all sorts of evil. More importantly, she’ll be Mrs. Barker tomorrow. All eyes will be on her, and she has to ensure that none of her misdeeds are revealed because that would jeopardize her position as Mrs. Barker.”

Rochelle listened quietly and admired Samantha from the bottom of her heart.

That Samantha could achieve that effect with only three simple texts was a testament to how amazing Samantha was.

Samantha rubbed her swollen eyebrows, “In any case, it’s finally over.”

She genuinely hated having to do such things. If she was given the choice, she would have preferred to live an unexciting and ordinary life with Matthew, where her only concern would be life’s daily necessities.

Upon seeing that, Rochelle hugged her gently and said, “Yeah. It’s finally over. You can go back to Matt now.”

During Samantha’s half-month stay there, Rochelle saw her holding her cell phone countless times to stare at Matthew’s photos in a daze.

Matthew had been unwilling to call her because he was still angry at her for failing to return. Rochelle knew that Samantha’s heart had long left the country even though she was physically still in the country.

Samantha inserted her SIM card into her phone and immediately received a WeTalk video call.

She immediately answered it when she saw it was from Matthew.

It did not take long for a boyishly handsome little face to appear on the screen. It was none other than Matthew.

He was still a little unhappy and pretended to be angry as he asked the camera, “Daddy said you’re coming back tomorrow. Is that true?”

Samantha could not control herself from smiling when she saw her little son. Her expression softened as she spoke in an even gentler manner, “Yeah. I’ll be coming back tomorrow. You’ll be able to see me tomorrow.”

Matthew became a little happier after hearing an affirmative answer. Although his face was still tense, his tone unwittingly eased up too. “Are you going to lie to me again?”

Samantha nodded firmly. “I won’t lie to you again. You miss me, don’t you?”

Matthew could not control his smile but still said stubbornly, “I don’t miss you.”

Samantha knew that he did not mean what he said and so told him, “But I miss you very, very much, Matt.”

When Matthew heard her remark, he finally could not hold himself back anymore and whispered, “Come back soon, okay Mommy? I miss you already.”

Samantha smiled sweetly. “Okay.”

The two of them chatted for a while before reluctantly ending the call.

Rochelle looked on with delight. “Matt is so much cuter and more handsome than he is in his photos. My heart is going to melt.”

His tender voice made her want to hold him in her arms, pinch his little cheeks, and rub his little head.

Samantha smiled and said, “I’ll bring him to see you if I ever get a chance in the future.”

Despite saying that, she did not know if such an opportunity would ever come up again. After all, she probably never would come back again after returning to Emsteldt.

Rochelle seemed to see what she was thinking and said understandingly, “Don’t worry. I can always look for you and Matt. I just need time to…handle things on my end.”

Since Samantha was still alive, her obsessive quest for revenge could finally come to an end.

During the past three years, her hatred of and involvement with Jonathan had changed tremendously without her realizing it. To be honest, she began to feel a little tired.

It was time to start reconsidering how she would move forward with Jonathan.

Samantha opened her arms and hugged Rochelle gently. “Okay. Matt and I will be waiting for you!”

Rochelle did not leave that night and laid on the bed with Samantha. The two of them chatted like they used to in school and could never run out of things to tell each other.

Samantha talked a lot about her life in Emsteldt, while Rochelle unconsciously revealed a lot about her relationship with Jonathan in the past three years.

Samantha initially thought that Rochelle and Jonathan had reconciled, but she did not expect Rochelle to concede strategically to him for her sake.

She felt a deep sense of guilt at the bottom of her heart when she heard that. “I’m sorry, Chelle.”

Rochelle shook his head, “I should be the one thanking you, Sammy. If your death hadn’t triggered me, I would’ve been entangled with Jonathan for the rest of my life and have hatred as my sole motivation. Now that I’m seeing you start over, I…want to start over too.”

Samantha had always hoped that Rochelle could let go of the past and live a happy life. She was happy when she heard Rochelle’s words.

“What…are you going to do then?”

Rochelle stared at the ceiling for a while. She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again and said, “I’ve decided to let Jonathan go, and let myself go too. I’ll get a divorce.”

…

After Samantha and Rochelle woke up the next day, they had a simple breakfast before Rochelle drove Samantha to the airport.

On the way, they passed by an almost endless fleet of luxury cars.

The cars were decorated with flowers and red silk, and the only people who could be so extravagant on that day were obviously the fleet of cars from Timothy’s wedding with Harmony.

Samantha glanced at it briefly before looking away. She had an insipid expression and did not seem to show any emotion.

On the contrary, Rochelle cursed out in anger and disdain, “What rotten luck!”

He did not do a single thing for Samantha when they got married, yet he had such a grand wedding for a pretentious b*tch like Harmony! That was truly the worst of luck!

Fortunately, Samantha was going to leave soon and she no longer needed to look at the scumbag and the pretentious b*tch.

After arriving at the airport, Samantha entered with Rochelle.

Her flight was scheduled for half-past ten and there was still a bit of time left. Rochelle could not bear to part with Samantha again and thought about having a seat at a cafe.

To her displeasure, the television in the cafe was also broadcasting Timothy and Harmony’s lavish wedding that day.

Rochelle was so furious that she wanted to destroy the television.

On the other hand, Samantha’s expression remained unmoved and her eyes were somewhat placid as well.

Her story with Timothy was over. She was not about to waste her emotions on an unworthy man.

They finished their coffee just as it was almost time for Samantha to board the plane. She prepared to get up and make her way to the security checkpoint.

Her phone then rang all of a sudden.

She looked at it and saw that the caller was Alan. Thinking that he was calling to ascertain whether or not she was going to the airport, she picked it up and immediately said, “I’m going to board the plane soon. I won’t break my promise this time. I’ll be seeing you and Matt very soon.”

Alan seemed to be telling her some things that turned her relaxed smile into a more solemn expression…until she eventually became stiff.

Samantha’s blood immediately ran cold.
