Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Chapter 355 - Timothy Is Really Passionate
Samantha’s heart skipped a beat.
Was Timothy coming back barely moments after leaving? Could he have returned because he remembered the glass that he drank from?
She looked at the glass that was within reach and decided to hold herself back from taking it. After all, if she took it away like that, she would not be able to leave that room and might even alert Timothy that something was wrong!
Before the man could set foot into the room, Samantha walked back to her seat and grabbed her fork to put a small piece of cake into her mouth.
To her surprise, the person who walked in was not Timothy…but Harmony.
Samantha had a shocked expression when she saw Harmony, but on second thought, realized that there was nothing unusual about her making an appearance there.

Had Samantha not gone to disrupt the wedding that day, Harmony and Timothy would have spent the night together there and it should not come as a surprise that she appeared there.
However, Harmony’s presence was a problem in itself. With her there, there was no way Samantha could bring the wine glass away.
Harmony was shocked to see Samantha for she probably never expected to see Samantha inside the room where she was supposed to spend the night with Timothy!
To make things worse, she saw a decanted bottle of red wine on the table and two wine glasses that had been used. Then there was the half-eaten cake. Samantha’s clothes were open at the neckline too and made for a pretty disheveled look…
“You… Why are you here?”
Harmony’s expression was particularly cold. As she spoke, she walked quickly into the bedroom but realized that Timothy was not around. However, petals were all over the large bed and the blanket was messy, suggesting at first glance that someone had been rolling on it.
Her eyes turned red in that split second.
What did Timothy and Samantha do together before she arrived? Could they have…gotten in bed with each other?
She hated Samantha to the core all along but that hatred had reached its limit. Samantha had ruined her wedding, caused the entire incident to soar to the top of the trending searches, and made her into everyone’s laughingstock. Her good reputation that had been cleansed so rigorously by providing so much during the past three years had suffered once again. Everyone brought up the fact that she had been a homewrecker and extracted the short clip of her confession to becoming a mistress from her news broadcast, from which various memes were created and went viral on Waybo.
Her anger was such that it was difficult for her to calm down. She initially thought of coming to receive some comfort from Timothy, but in the end, she had to put up with the scene in front of her!
The deep-seated resentment, as well as her new feelings of hatred, surged up all at once. Harmony turned around, rushed out of the room, and walked quickly toward Samantha while roaring, “You b*tch! How dare you seduce my husband and sleep with him! I’m going to kill you!”
She quickly rushed up to Samantha and stretched out her hand to slap Samantha’s cheek.
Samantha was still thinking about how to distract her and swipe the red wine glass away in the meantime. The thought of settling scores with Harmony did not pop up at all.
It was Harmony who started it first, like all the times before then.
Seconds before Harmony’s palm was about to land on Samantha’s cheek, she sneered and raised her hand to grab Harmony’s wrist.
Harmony tried pulling away but failed to do so. Her eyes were like knives as they looked intently at Samantha, and the resentment made her innocent-looking face appear remarkably hideous.
Samantha wanted to ignore Harmony but was not that kind as to just let Harmony leave after trying to attack her.
‘Being the bigger person’ was a ludicrous principle to live by!
The hardships she suffered three years ago were partly caused by Harmony, and Samantha was not a saint who would show such compassion!
It was pointless to refuse a chance at taking revenge when the opportunity was handed to her on a silver platter!
Samantha looked at her with disgust and did not hide her sarcasm as she smiled. “Your husband? Are you deaf? For every day that I don’t sign the divorce papers, I will still be the official Mrs. Barker!”
“Timothy is my husband and anything I do with him is justified. Save that horrified look of yours for when you finally become Mrs. Barker, or else you’ll just be making a fool of yourself!”
Samantha flung away Harmony’s hand in disgust.
Harmony staggered after being thrown away and she had to take a few steps back before finally standing firm.
Her face turned ashen, then pale, and she wanted to refute what Samantha said. She would have wanted to grab Samantha’s hair and throw her out the door righteously, but since Samantha’s marriage with Timothy was still valid, there was nothing she could say to Samantha and therefore had no choice but to hold back!
However, she was not prepared to let Samantha continue being smug. She took a deep breath, regained some sense of reason, and said again, “Samantha, you and I both know that Tim hates you to death. Nothing’s going to change even if you don’t sign it. Tim never once loved you and he even wanted you dead. He’s also promised me that he’d solve this matter as soon as possible. How long do you think you can keep up this smugness when Tim loves me so much?”
He turned out to have promised her, hence his impatience in asking Samantha to come over that night and sign the divorce papers!
He went so far as to use death threats!
Timothy’s character had changed in numerous ways, but the one constant was his love for Harmony!
Samantha would have been heartbroken if she heard that three years ago, but she had gone through so much since then that none of Harmony’s words could hurt her at all.
Of course, she was not about to let Harmony gloat in front of her.
Since Harmony was so eager to piss her off, she would be more than happy to return the favor!
Harmony was under the false impression that Samantha had slept with Timothy, so Samantha retorted without blinking, “Really? Why would he drag me into bed if he still loves you that much?”
She even smiled charmingly and said, “Timothy is very passionate…and it’s exhausting, to be honest. I guess getting together after being separated for a long time is far more enjoyable than being newlyweds…”
“I hardly noticed his love for you when he was in bed with me…”
Every single word ignited a blazing fire in Harmony’s heart. In the end, she became so jealous that she roared uncontrollably, “Shut up!”
She wanted to tear Samantha to pieces, but she knew that she could not hit Samantha because doing so would be detrimental for herself!
Her lips were trembling violently and her eyes were bloodshot. The next words that came out of her mouth sounded somewhat hysterical, “Get the hell out of here, Samantha!”

Her reaction left Samantha puzzled and those words amused her greatly before she even had the chance to ponder on it.
‘Is she seriously asking me to leave?’
Samantha laughed out loud. “You’re the one who should be getting the hell out of here!”
“You…” Harmony was trembling all over and her chest was heaving violently as if she was out of breath.
Samantha added, “Aren’t you going to leave? If you don’t, I’d have to call the police and report you for trespassing in my husband’s room. The police can then decide whether it’s the official Mrs. Barker or the mistress who should leave!”
Samantha picked up the phone and dialed right after making the threat.
Harmony’s eyes turned red. She clenched her fists tightly and eventually forced herself to turn around and leave the room.
She had made a big enough fool of herself that day and could not afford to add to her embarrassment!
Samantha snickered and hung up the phone.
She would have had a headache if the person who came was Timothy. When it turned out to be Harmony, she did not panic at all!
The night was still young though, and she was not prepared to waste any more time. She took out a tissue, picked up the glass, then carefully put it into a plastic bag and sealed it before placing it into her bag.
After leaving the hotel, Samantha hailed a taxi and went back to the apartment.
Rochelle had been waiting a long time for Samantha and immediately heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Samantha’s safe return.
After Samantha sat down, she took out the wine glass and said, “I managed to get a wine glass that Timothy drank from. I want to do a DNA test to find out whether he’s an imposter!”
Rochelle praised her. “I have nothing but respect for you, Sammy. It’s good enough that you could come out of there alive, but on top of doing that, you even managed to swipe something that might be the key to answering everything!”
After a pause, Rochelle was suddenly reminded of something and frowned, saying, “Wait. We can’t do a DNA test!”
