TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE - Season 2 Episode 3

Samantha ran to the elevator entrance and pressed the button repeatedly. Unfortunately, the elevator was in use and remained downstairs, so it would take some time before finally reaching her.

Seeing the group of reporters coming closer and closer, Samantha decisively abandoned the elevator and ran toward the stairwell.

She descended the stairs at lightning speed, and occasionally there were a couple of reporters who managed to catch up with her. They tried reaching out to grab her but she dodged them all.

When she finally arrived at the parking lot underground, she sped to the luxury car, got in the driver’s seat, then started the engine and slammed the gas pedal. The car had driven off before the reporters could arrive.

The reporters were getting anxious and it was obvious that they were not going to let her escape like that. Each of them got into their own cars and drove out.

Samantha’s car sped along the road and her eyebrows were knit in a tight frown. She looked at the cars in the rearview mirror, and they were still chasing after her.

From the way that they chased after her, she would be surprised if there was no one encouraging them to do so from behind the scenes!

The situation could not continue to go on like that. She had to get rid of them, or else she would be grilled to death if they caught up to her.

Samantha looked at the road ahead of her and saw a large truck driving toward the intersection on the front left of the road. She looked at the traffic lights at the intersection and calculated the time until the lights would turn red.

At that point, there were already one or two cars that had caught up to her and were already driving on either side of her car. She surmised that they were going to overtake her and force her to slam the brakes!

Samantha looked ahead of her and saw that there were another three seconds before the red light would come on. She slammed the gas pedal all the way and the car rushed out like an arrow, crossing the intersection just in time before the traffic light turned red.

The two cars reacted quickly and wanted to give chase after seeing her car rush past them. However, the big truck from the left had already reached the middle of the intersection, forcing the cars to step on the brakes.

The big truck drove away about ten seconds later, and the reporters still wanted to continue chasing after Samantha. Unfortunately, they were not even able to see any trace of Samantha’s vehicle.

…

Samantha drove for quite some time. She breathed a sigh of relief only when she looked at the rearview mirror and was sure that the reporters’ cars were no longer in sight.

The car she drove really lived up to its worth as a luxury car. The horsepower was fantastic and it had great speed when she floored the gas pedal. That was why she could throw the reporters’ cars off her trail and leave them so far behind in such a short time.

She never would have expected the luxury car Old Madam Barker left behind would be of such great help to her.

In any case, she did not completely let her guard down just yet. After all, it was still unsafe because she was still outside. Going back to the hospital was out of the question, and if she returned to the villa, she was afraid that Old Madam Barker would be worried. After considering all the possibilities, there was only one place that was absolutely safe for her.

Samantha turned the steering wheel and drove toward Rochelle’s apartment.

The security guard allowed her to pass because Rochelle had previously brought her there. Samantha drove to the apartment, parked the car, then got out and headed upstairs.

Rochelle’s apartment was equipped with an iris scanner door lock, and since it recognized her irises from her previous visit, Samantha could immediately unlock the door and walk in.

As soon as she entered the door, she was surprised to bump into a topless man with only a towel around his waist. The scene startled Samantha and she immediately froze on the spot.

She wondered if she had entered the wrong house.

Samantha’s first instinct was to retreat, but she then had a clear look of the man in front of her. He was not a stranger, but Rochelle’s husband, Jonathan.

She did not meet Jonathan very often, but when she did, he was always dressed in full black and had a cold expression. That was why she took some time to recognize him in his casual yet sexy appearance.

Samantha laughed dryly. “I, uh, I came to look for Chelle. I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were here. I can leave now if it’s not a good time.”

Rochelle had told Samantha that it was fine to come over any time, since she and Jonathan were living separately and she had the apartment all to herself.

“No need.” Jonathan pursed his lips and neatly put away the small gun in his hand. “I’ll leave right away. Make yourself at home.”

Samantha’s pupils contracted slightly when she saw the small gun in his hand and fear started to sink in.

If she was some kind of evildoer who had come in just now, her life would probably end right then and there. Jonathan was known to be notoriously cruel…

He turned around and walked into the bedroom.

Just as Samantha was hesitating whether or not to enter the apartment, the bedroom door opened again, and Jonathan was once again neatly dressed in his usual black garb.

He said not a word and walked directly toward the door. Once he put on his shoes, he opened the door and walked out.

Something occurred to him all of a sudden. He turned his face to one side and asked Samantha, “Did she allow you to record your iris in the system?”

The ‘she’ he was referring to was none other than Rochelle.

Samantha nodded truthfully. “Yes.”

Jonathan’s finger tapped the door lock a couple of times and he said coldly, “I deleted it. The next time you come, knock.”

As soon as he said that, he closed the door and strode off.

Samantha remained frozen on the spot for several seconds and was still reeling from shock.

Jonathan’s desire for control and exclusivity toward Rochelle was truly quite frightening. He even did not allow a third person to be recognized by the door lock system.

With Jonathan gone, Samantha was no longer apprehensive. She immediately removed her shoes and walked in.

She sat on the sofa and took out her cell phone.

There was no need to even do a search. As soon as she clicked into Waybo, everything about her made the headlines in Waybo’s trending searches.

She glossed through them and finally understood what was going on.

The reason behind it was that Simon and Cynthia had accepted a media interview earlier that morning. It was specifically to accuse her, of which there were a few main accusations.

The first was that she got to know of a rich man via her parents and married him in secret. She enjoyed glory and wealth after the marriage but refused to support her parents, abandoning them even.

Secondly, she did not only abandon her parents, but even forcibly snatched Corey away from them. Her purpose was allegedly to make them lonely, childless, have no one to rely on, and have no one remain by their side should they pass away.

The third was that she had a messy private life. That she enjoyed fooling around before marriage was beside the point. After getting married, she squandered her husband’s wealth while cheating on him and hiding her countless affairs. As her parents, they had persuaded her many times, but rather than listening to them, she severed ties with them. That was why they decided to come forth, placing righteousness before their family in order to expose her true colors. That way, she would not continue to go down the wrong path!

Fourth, they hoped that she would know to come back to the right path, admit her mistakes to the public, and support them in the future. They wanted her to return custody of Corey as well. In that way, the door to the Larsson home will remain open for her.

After reading that, Samantha was so angry that she trembled uncontrollably and was almost unable to hold the phone in her hands anymore.

She originally thought that they had already reached their lowest point the last time they persecuted her. She never expected to have underestimated them.

People like them had no morals at all!

Samantha started to doubt whether they really were her parents.
