Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Either you take off this nightdress and get out of this villa on your own accord, or I’ll beat you out of here!”
Tiana scoffed at Samantha’s words. That woman was definitely nuts! Did she have the guts to say all that because she was unaware of whose turf they were on?
Aside from being unmoved, Tiana became even more condescending and arrogant. She no longer pretended to be polite and courteous with Samantha, but instead remarked bitterly, “Ms. Larsson, this isn’t the time and place for you to display such bad behavior. The person who is supposed to leave isn’t m— Ahhhhh—”
Samantha did not even wait for Tiana to finish that sentence. She moved quickly and grabbed the latter’s hair, eliciting a painful shriek.
Having already shown enough courtesy earlier, it was time for some violence.
Tiana had been given a choice, and since she had chosen the latter, Samantha was more than happy to comply!
Samantha’s hand reached for Tiana’s nightdress, pulling it and sending it falling to the ground.
Tiana did not expect Samantha to have such an immense fighting spirit. In the blink of an eye, she was stripped completely naked and screamed yet again before trying her best to cover her exposed body.
Samantha glanced at Tiana’s clothes on the bed. She walked over swiftly, picked the clothes up, then threw them over to Tiana. She then grabbed Tiana’s wrist and pulled her out of the master bedroom.
At the end of the day, Tiana still wanted to keep what little dignity she had remaining. Despite putting on her clothes in a hurry, her face had turned red with anger.
How dare a woman that fell from grace and lived off the Barkers dare to treat her like that? Tiana raised her hand in an attempt to deliver a big slap.
However, Samantha’s vision was sharp enough and she immediately intercepted that slap. Then, Tiana frantically tried to grab Samantha’s hair, only to receive a sneer in return.
She locked Tiana’s hands behind her back and kicked her behind the knee. It was painful enough to draw out a cry from Tiana, causing her to kneel right on the spot.
“Samantha, you shameless b*tch! Wh*re!” Tiana could not free herself and started cursing.
Samantha could not be bothered to entertain her and grabbed her hair again, dragging her all the way down the stairs and into the hallway. Once at the door, she shoved her out and slammed the door hard.
Tiana could only watch as the door closed in front of her, almost slamming into her newly-done nose job. Tiana was already raring to rip Samantha to shreds!
The stars had aligned for Tiana that night and it would all be complete but for her sexy time with Timothy. One could imagine how difficult it was for Tiana to face the fact that she had been thrown out by Samantha.
Her cell phone was still inside the house and there was no way for her to call Timothy. All she could do was hit the door vigorously and yell at the top of her lungs. “Mr. Barker, are you there? Help me, Ms. Larsson wants to kill me!”
Samantha grinned even wider when she heard Tiana’s shouts from inside the house.
With Tiana out of the way, her next target was that scumbag, Timothy!
Samantha closed her eyes and calmed herself down for a couple of seconds before opening her eyes again. She then started walking upstairs.
The first thing she did was go back to the master bedroom where she picked up her laptop. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed out a whole page of words, then she went to the study room and printed out a document with the printer.
She picked up a pen and signed her name swiftly at the signing column. With the document in hand, she immediately walked out of the study.
…
After Timothy finished his call, he walked away from the balcony and headed back into the house, where he saw Samantha approaching him confrontationally.
He cocked his eyebrows slightly, but before he could speak, Samantha went up to him and raised her hand, throwing that piece of paper at him.
The pages flapped against his face and fell to the ground. He looked down and saw the big bold words—Divorce Agreement.
The glow in Timothy’s eyes dimmed and he looked up to see Samantha’s angry eyes.
Samantha was unsure whether she was feeling disgusted or heartbroken, but the drunkenness had gotten to her and she spilled out everything she had in her heart, “Timothy, I understand what this whole marriage between us is about, so I won’t chastise you or ask you anything. How you enjoy yourself and how many women you have is your business.
“But you brought another woman back to parade her and anger me. Do you really take me for someone without a temper? Someone you can easily bully? I agreed to this arrangement with you and kept up with this entire charade. What we have is a relationship based on cooperation, and the least we can do is show each other some respect during this period of cooperation, don’t you think?
“If you want to sleep with someone else, do it outside. Your business enterprises are huge and you have real estate everywhere! You don’t really have to insist on this villa, do you?”
Samantha took a deep breath and her tone became extremely sarcastic, “Of course, if you’ve found true love and feel like spending your whole life with another woman, just be upfront with it. I’ll make room for you guys. I’ve already prepared the divorce agreement and signed it. You just need to sign it and I’ll move out right this instant! I won’t even stay here a second longer!”
Samantha tried her best to control her emotions, but after she said everything that was on her mind, there was an uncontrollable tingling in her nose and her eyes became slightly red.
What sin did she commit that would justify Timothy’s actions toward her?
Murder would have put an end to her misery, but all he seemed to do was torture her to no end. She had enough of it!
In the past, 99.9% of her reason to agree with Timothy’s deal was because of her little brother Corey. However, she could not ignore what little hope she still had in her heart.
All that wishful thinking simply ended up being crushed to bits.
Timothy’s dark gaze stared deeply into Samantha’s eyes. All of her emotions and reactions were picked up with crystal clear clarity in his eyes.
He saw from her reddened eyes not only anger but sadness too.
However, her posture was too straight, her lips were very tightly pressed, and she was extremely good at controlling her emotions. Those factors made him doubt the accuracy of his judgment.
Before he could speak, Tiana could be heard screaming and slamming the door downstairs.
“Mr. Barker, I’m outside, please open the door for me! Mr. Barker!!!”
Timothy’s black eyes narrowed slightly. His thin lips opened up and he uttered two words in a low and deep voice, “Follow me.”
He did not give Samantha a chance to refute either. His big palm grabbed her wrist and started walking, leading her downstairs by force. Once they reached the door, Timothy opened it.
Tiana, who was bawling her eyes out at the door, looked at Timothy with tears rolling down her face like a broken string of pearls. She put away all that viciousness she had earlier and replaced it with a pitiful look. “Mr. Barker, I don’t know why, but Ms. Larsson stripped me all of a sudden and hit me. She even threw me out of the door, sob sob…”
Samantha’s lips twitched. Rather than admitting she was wrong, she looked at Timothy and said slowly, “That’s not the whole story. I didn’t just strip her.. I kicked her feet, pulled her hair, and dragged her downstairs, then finally pushed her out. Is that detailed enough for you?”
