Samantha’s eyes narrowed suddenly.
Why would he be back at that time? By a normal banquet’s standards, he would have to stay for at least an hour or two before coming back, but it had only been just over half an hour!
Then again, she was never able to guess Timothy’s thoughts!
She knew that she had better leave soon or else she would be in danger of being discovered!
However, was she really going to let her efforts be in vain on the off chance that the divorce certificate was inside the safe?
There might not be many opportunities like this anymore!
Samantha bit her lip. After grappling with her thoughts for a few seconds, she was unwilling to give up just like that and said calmly, “Could you help me stall him for five minutes, Chelle?”
Rochelle and Timothy had been mortal enemies and even five seconds was difficult enough for her, let alone five minutes. In any case, Samantha had already pleaded with Rochelle, leaving her no choice but to steel herself through the ordeal!
She told Samantha, “I’ll try my best, but you hurry up too, Sammy!”
“Okay!”
After ending the call, Samantha looked intently at the safe’s combination lock. Her mind went on overdrive and one by one she entered different sets of passwords.
It was a six-digit password.
She tried Timothy’s cell phone password, the six digits on the back of his identification card, the numbers he used frequently, and various combinations of his birth date.
None of those worked.
She frowned and quickly took out her cell phone to find out when Harmony’s birth date was. None of the combinations she tried using those numbers worked either!
Samantha was stumped.
If none of the passwords used by someone as indifferent as Timothy was his numbers or that of his true love Harmony, who else could it possibly be?
It could not possibly be her, right?
Although she knew that it was impossible, she was running out of time and she could try her luck with it!
Samantha pursed her lips and hurriedly entered various permutations using her birth dates.
It was still the wrong password!
Time was passing by the minute, and she was getting so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. At the same time, she felt extremely puzzled too.
What password could he possibly have set?
She clenched her fists in frustration and slammed the door of the safe!
In the end, she did not have much hope and gritted her teeth as she entered another six numbers.
Unexpectedly…
She heard a beep and the door of the safe opened!
Samantha was still a little stunned and blinked a couple of times to confirm that she had entered the correct password!
However, those six numbers…
…
At the hotel lobby, Rochelle took a deep breath and got up. She strode right up Timothy in her high heels and blocked his way.
The man lowered his eyes and looked at Rochelle’s face. His lips curled into a smirk and he asked, “You?”
Ever since she attempted to kill him three years ago and was dragged away by Jonathan, she had never appeared in front of him since.
The contempt in Timothy’s eyes was obvious. “What’s up? Trying to kill me again?”
He let her off once for Jonathan’s sake because she was Jonathan’s wife, but that did not mean she could just provoke him again and again.
Rochelle looked at that scumbag’s face. If she had a gun in hand, she could not guarantee that she would not try shooting him again. She gritted her teeth and quelled her anger as she sneered, “Karma will come for people like you. I don’t want to dirty my hands by laying a finger on you!”
Timothy’s expression did not change in the slightest when he heard her words. Instead, his ice-cold gaze swept across her slender neck. It was so delicate that the simplest of snaps could break it.
“You should leave if you don’t want to be killed!”
Rochelle did not fear Timothy that much, because she would not have called him a scumbag all the time otherwise. After all, Timothy was nothing to be worried about if she was able to deal with a demon like Jonathan.
At that moment, however, the way he glanced at her neck inexplicably made her feel a chill down her spine.
It could be described as the kind of sinister feeling that resembled being stared at by a poisonous snake.
She even shuddered subconsciously as a result.
It had only been three years since she last saw him, yet the vibe he gave her was markedly different compared to before.
Timothy used to be very cold in the past, but his disposition naturally left people in awe of him. That had since changed, and the chill emanating from Timothy’s body would intimidate people even more!
Rochelle’s instinct told her not to provoke Timothy. It was too dangerous an endeavor!
She could not back down for Samantha’s sake!
Timothy had ordered for Samantha to be killed three years ago. If he found out that Samantha was alive and even gave birth to a boy, Samantha and Matthew might suffer from a life that was worse than death!
Rochelle gulped heavily and did not give in. She forced herself to look right at Timothy’s eyes and said, “I came to you because I want you to return something to me!”
‘Return something.’
Timothy pondered over those two words and wondered which one of Rochelle’s belongings was with him.
Rochelle seemed to know what he was thinking and did not keep him in suspense. She said bluntly, “You’re going to marry Harmony next month, so I assume Sammy’s personal belongings mean nothing to you now. I hope you’ll return them to me. You don’t feel anything for Sammy anyway, but I do, and I want to keep some things that remind me of Sammy.”
“Heh.” Timothy sneered as if he had heard a joke and ignored her request. “I said, move it!”
‘Bloody hell!’
Rochelle clenched her fists so hard and was trying hard not to punch that damned man in the face!
She glanced at the hotel’s wall clock and saw that only two minutes had passed. In any case, she had to delay him for another three minutes!
After only a few seconds of conflicted emotions, Rochelle finally decided to go all out and pursed her lips heavily. Her voice weakened and she said, “Timothy, if…if I apologize to you for my attack three years ago, will you be able to return Sammy’s personal belongings to me?”
Rochelle never bowed her head to anyone, not even Jonathan.
Even though she wanted to kill Timothy right that instant, she was willing to bow down for the sake of protecting Samantha!
Timothy seemed a little surprised that she said that.
Was she really apologizing to him even when Jonathan was never able to tame her after five years?
He stared curiously at her for a few seconds and spoke insipidly, “Don’t make me say it a third time. Get out of my way!”
He was just as ruthless as ever!
Rochelle had a slightly shocked look in her eyes.
When Timothy’s patience ran out, he would want nothing to do with any man or woman. He had no interest in anyone or anything unimportant, and he would never waste his time on them.
Rochelle did not manage to see what or how Timothy did it, but her slender neck was grasped and she was incapable of dodging it in time.
The next second, she was savagely shoved aside and stumbled several times before she barely stood up straight.
Although she still wanted to catch up to Timothy, the hotel’s security had already rushed up to stop her, and Timothy strode into the elevator without turning around again.
Rochelle looked at the clock and saw that the five minutes were not up yet. ‘We’re doomed….’
