Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Chapter 346 - : Samantha Steals the Groom!
Harmony’s eyes lit up as she waited for Timothy’s answer.
She could only watch helplessly five years ago when Timothy and Samantha entered the church. Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by sharp knives from all directions and it was so painful that she wanted to die.
She swore that she would one day stand in the position that Samantha stood in.
Samantha had to pay a huge price for taking something that did not belong to her.
Death eventually caught up to her and she had disappeared completely from existence.
The grass on her grave had probably grown tall and lush already.

Harmony’s smile widened even more when she thought about it and her whole face was filled with smug delight.
Samantha had only herself to blame for overestimating her abilities and insisting on going against Harmony.
In the end, Harmony was the one who had the last laugh!
It was a pity that she was unable to see Samantha’s expression. It was probably a sight to behold!
Timothy’s handsome face was as indifferent as ever and he had his usual paucity of emotions. His thin lips parted slightly as he spoke in a low yet captivating voice, “I…”
Before he could finish his words, the door to the church’s entrance was pushed open all of a sudden and the movement was so loud that everyone looked over unconsciously.
The bright sunlight poured in from outside and a slender figure began walking in with their back against the light.
The figure’s face was not too clear, and it was not until they walked further inside that their facial features slowly came into everyone’s view. The guests practically gasped in unison!
No one could mistake that person to be anyone else other than Samantha…the former Mrs. Barker.
Everyone started questioning themselves: ‘Didn’t Samantha die?’ The news of her death came just after Timothy divorced her and it was a huge bombshell for everyone.
Many had been talking about it for nearly half a month.
At that time, there was much speculation from various quarters over Samantha’s death, but 80% of them believed that she jumped into the sea and committed suicide after being abandoned a second time.
To think that a person who had been ‘dead’ for three years just appeared so suddenly during Timothy’s wedding…
After their initial shock, everyone unconsciously felt a chill down their spines. Was she a human or a ghost? Could she have manifested herself because she wanted to get revenge on Timothy for marrying someone else?
When Harmony saw Samantha, she immediately chalked it up to a hallucination. She had just been thinking about Samantha earlier when the latter appeared right in front of her all of a sudden.
As Samantha’s figure gradually came into clearer view, her shadow could be seen and her feet were touching the ground.
She was no apparition—she was real!
Was Samantha alive all along?
The thought of that jolted her heart and caused a surge of various emotions: among which there was fear, anger, unwillingness, and hatred. Her body swayed unconsciously as a result and she nearly lost her footing.
What else could Samantha possibly want if she was still alive and even appeared at such a critical moment?
Was she going to ruin the wedding?
As soon as that thought occurred to Harmony, she felt as though the thorns all over her body had popped out. She has endured everything for such a long time and expended so much effort to get to where she was. No one should be allowed to destroy her happiness and stop her from marrying Timothy!
Samantha was seen heading right toward them and her eyes were staring intently at Timothy. It was as if she could see no one else but Timothy and was almost half-jogging toward him.
Harmony raised her foot hurriedly and took two steps forward to stand in Samantha’s way.
Samantha did not even look at Harmony even after being obstructed. She opened her lips coldly and ordered bluntly, “Get away from me!”
Even though Samantha was not 100% certain that the kidnapper was the killer, a 1-in-10,000 chance was a chance nonetheless.
She could not just sit still at the airport so she grabbed Rochelle’s car keys and sped to the wedding venue.
The killer answered only to his master, so she had to get Timothy to speak up and stop the assignment before things went further.
That was the only chance she had to ensure Matthew’s survival.
She went to the church with only Timothy in mind and anyone else was of little importance to her!
Harmony was furious.
She was initially still uncertain whether or not the woman in front of her was Samantha, but the moment Samantha spoke, she was certain that it was!
Samantha was the only one who could make her feel such deep-seated disgust, and she was the only person who would ignore her like that.
Although she was still alive, things were different than it was in the past.
Timothy’s heart was already with Harmony, Old Madam Barker was lying comatose on the hospital bed, and Samantha was no longer Mrs. Barker. What was Samantha going to use as ammunition against her?
Perhaps it was a good thing that Samantha showed up. Killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant!
“Samantha, this wedding is between me and Tim. It’s bad enough that you crashed my wedding. Are you planning to snatch my groom in front of me too? I know you’ve always been shameless, but I didn’t think you’d be that shameless!” Harmony lambasted.
Despite building a good reputation for herself by doing charity work in the past three years, the incident where Samantha forced her into admitting to being a homewrecker during a news broadcast was a blight on her reputation. There were always people who would use that fact to attack her.
She had never been able to completely wash away her ‘homewrecker’ title.
However, as long as she could put a stop to Samantha by way of her legitimate status as a wedded wife, then the homewrecker label would eventually be washed away. Samantha would then become a shameless, abandoned ex-wife who harasses her ex-husband!
A host of media personnel were invited to the scene that day and all she needed to cleanse herself was to step on Samantha in front of the public!
At the thought of that, she glanced across the media area and gave a wink at several media personnel with whom she had a good relationship with.
Those people had received plenty of benefits or money from her in general, so they understood what she meant when she gave that one look. They held the camera, zoomed in, then aimed the lens at Samantha and Harmony.
At the same time, they quietly started a live broadcast too.
Samantha turned a deaf ear to Harmony’s words. Her eyes were fixed only on Timothy, who was standing three steps away from her while staring at her with a gloomy look.
Every minute was important and she did not have the time to mess around with anyone else.
Samantha repeated the same sentence, “Get out of my way!”
The resentment in Harmony’s eyes grew after Samantha ignored her in that way. She wanted to take control of the situation and maintained that haughty smile as she said, “Today is a happy day for me and Tim. I’m more than willing to accept your well wishes if you came here to give us your blessing. You may sit and watch the ceremony, but if you still harbor any bad intentions toward Tim, then I hope you won’t blame me if I show you no courtesy!”
‘Show you no courtesy.’
Samantha finally shifted her gaze from Timothy’s handsome face over to Harmony’s face.
Not even the thick makeup could hide her viciousness.
Samantha was not that kind as to repeat what she said a third time.
Since Harmony insists on blocking the way, Samantha’s first order of business would be to get rid of her.
Samantha raised her hand and delivered a fierce yet decisive slap onto Harmony’s face.
Harmony never expected Samantha to do that so unabashedly in public. The powerful slap caught her off guard and she fell directly to the ground.
Harmony screamed in pain and covered her face as her head was in a daze at that moment.
Samantha then looked condescendingly at her before saying emphatically in a cold and cruel tone, “Who do you think you are? How dare a homewrecker like you spout all this nonsense in front of the real Mrs. Barker!”
‘The real Mrs. Barker!’
Those four words shocked everyone in the audience.
Did Samantha not only survive, but was never divorced from Timothy in the first place?
Was Samantha still officially Mrs. Barker—the wife of Timothy Barker?
