Once Bitten, Twice Shy


420 If I Can’t Have Him, No One Can!

Harmony had a proud smile on her face and knew that Timothy would never leave her. There must have been some difficulties on his end for him to do that!

Roger cocked his eyebrow in surprise.

Could she have pressed the wrong buttons?

If Harmony really managed to turn her fortunes over, he would be the one who would have to suffer!

Roger was starting to get uneasy when Harmony hurriedly spoke in a gentle and slightly pitiful voice. It was the kind of tone that would arouse pity in any man who heard her.

“Hello, Tim, I…”

She only managed to say three words when a man’s voice was heard on the other end.

It was calm and steady, emotionless even, and had a trace of restraint and detachment. “This is Ronald speaking, Ms. Johnson.”

Harmony’s words instantly got stuck in her throat.

She immediately had a bad feeling but remained calm and asked, “Where’s Tim? I want to speak to him! Give him the phone!”

Ronald still maintained his professionally courteous tone. “Mr. Barker doesn’t want to answer your call, Ms. Johnson.”

“Impossible! Tim won’t do this to me! You’re just a lowly assistant! How dare you stop me from talking to him when you don’t have any authorization to do so? I’m warning you! You’d better give the phone to Tim right away or else I’ll have him fire you when I’m out!”

Harmony screamed fiercely and tried to frighten him!

Ronald sneered unabashedly. “Ms. Johnson, I’m just in charge of conveying Mr. Barker’s intentions. Instead of losing your temper here, you might as well save your energy and think about how you’re going to spend your time in prison for the next few years. ”

He hung up as soon as he said that.

Harmony was furious and continued to dial the number without giving up. Unfortunately, a notification showed that ‘The number you have dialed is unavailable.’

In other words, he had blocked her.

Timothy abandoned her and did not even bother to give her an explanation…

How could he treat her like that?

She was the one who woke him up, the one who had always been by his side and guarded him all those years!

He could not just do that to her!

Absolutely not!

“I want to see Tim! I want to ask him personally! I don’t believe that he’d treat me like this!”

Harmony stood up abruptly and was about to make a mad dash.

The prison guard did not expect that she would suddenly go crazy and was stunned for a second, but he reacted quickly enough to rush forward and grabbed her to prevent her from escaping.

“Get off me! Let go of me!”

Harmony was unwilling to cooperate and was unable to push the prison guard away, so she waved her hands to grab the man’s face and even stretched out her foot to kick him.

The prison guard failed to subdue her for a moment and Harmony opened the door to run out.

The prison guard shouted, “Ms. Johnson is escaping. Catch her!”

The police outside surrounded her immediately and Harmony only managed to run a few steps before being captured by a few strong men.

She attacked them recklessly and struggled to break free.

Her unwillingness to cooperate annoyed the policeman, one of whom clasped her hands and twisted them behind her, causing her to break out in cold sweat.

However, Harmony still spat out a slew of malicious remarks. “Assault, assault! Look at them, Roger! I want to sue them for assault, I… Agghh…”

The prison guard who came chasing held a small stun baton and placed it on her lower back waist.

Harmony’s body relaxed slightly and her face was full of pain.

It was a very unpleasant feeling and the stun baton was especially used for disobedient prisoners.

She had no strength to struggle any further and could only be dragged by the two prison guards into the detention center.

If Timothy gave up on her, then ‘he’ had also given up on her. She had become a useless pawn.

She gave it her all and had nothing to show for…

The one who came out as the winner was none other than Samantha!

‘Why?!’

‘Why?!’

She was the one who had been by Timothy’s side since she was a child, and she never loved the second personality at all. Truth be told, she had always loved the main personality.

Unfortunately, the main personality did not want her and did not choose her, which was why she wanted to destroy him.

She would destroy that main personality if she could not get it for herself!

However, why did the second personality abandon her too!

Was she going to spend the rest of her life in a dark prison?

She could never accept a fate like that!

‘Just wait, Samantha! If I can’t get anything, then I’ll destroy everything!’

‘I won’t let you or Timothy get off the hook!’

…

After watching the entire ruckus, Roger walked out of the police station and unhesitatingly took out his cell phone to call Samantha.

As soon as she picked up, he immediately reported everything he saw earlier.

Samantha listened and replied, “Well done.”

After a pause, she continued, “Your task is over. Consider everything between us settled.”

Roger smiled apologetically. “Thank you, Mrs. Barker. If you need anything in the future, you can always look for me. I’ll do my best to serve you.”

Samantha smiled without saying anything and immediately hung up.

Roger felt regretful.

He knew that she had rejected his offer.

Samantha was a very smart woman who could clearly see his self-serving behavior. That was why she did not want anything to do with him.

That was the difference between Samantha and Harmony.

It was also the reason why Harmony could never win against Samantha.

…

Inside the apartment, Samantha ended the call and looked at Rochelle. “What do you think?”

Rochelle rested her chin on her hand and pondered before replying, “If Timothy is still in his second personality, he definitely won’t give up on Harmony that easily. I think it’s more likely than not that the main personality has returned!”

She stretched out her hand and rubbed Samantha’s head, “Your hard work during this time has paid off. At least you reawakened the main personality! He also said that Matthew will be rescued, so I guess you can finally feel at ease now, right?”

Samantha could get back her husband and son.

The pain and suffering she had to go through…was not in vain.

Samantha had a faint smile. “I sure hope so.”

She had been living in panic and was always vigilant. Her nerves were tense all the time as well, and she was utterly exhausted from that.

She…would be really happy if everything started moving in a positive direction from then on.

Samantha wondered when she could meet Matthew again.

Her phone then rang all of a sudden and snapped her consciousness back.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Timothy.

Rochelle saw that and could not help but tease, “See, the main personality is different. He’s clingy.”

“Look at how easy it is to distinguish between love or indifference. The second personality treats you as if you don’t exist, and only the main personality treats you like a darling…”

Samantha shot her a slightly wry look and swiped her finger on the screen to answer. “Hello.”

“Let’s have dinner together, Sammy.” The man’s voice was low, sweet, and filled with deep affection. “I have a surprise in store for you. I hope you’d like it.”

A surprise?

Samantha’s eyes lit up suddenly.

The biggest surprise she could get was Matthew.

Could Timothy have found Matthew already?
