Chapter 340: Crashing A Wedding
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rochelle frowned tightly. “Come on, Sammy. What else do you want to do? Don’t you dare tell me that you’re going to crash Timothy and Harmony’s wedding!”
The latter half of her sentence carried a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Samantha knew that Rochelle was annoyed and only became that nervous because she was worried about her safety. Samantha took Rochelle’s hand and exerted a bit of strength to pull her down so she could sit.
She slowed down and explained earnestly to Rochelle, “Listen to me, Chelle. Grandma’s high-risk period might have passed, but she’s still in a coma and hasn’t woken up yet. Aunt Julia is the only one who’s by Grandma’s side, and being the helpless woman that she is, she can’t possibly be able to protect Grandma.”
“To put it another way, Harmony could easily do something to grandma again.”
Rochelle understood Samantha’s reasoning. Her expression softened a little but she still looked intently at Samantha as she asked, “And?”
“And if I leave now, I’d be ignoring Grandma’s life too. The next time I hear about Grandma would probably be her funeral.”
Samantha spoke in a certain tone because she was 100% sure that it would happen.
There was genuinely nothing that Rochelle could say to refute Samantha’s words.
If Old Madam Barker was healthy and of a sound mind, she really did not need to fear Harmony at all. If only Timothy was protecting her too. Then no one would dare to lay a finger on the old lady.
Unfortunately, neither of those two conditions were met.
Rochelle frowned and thought for a while. She said, “How about...I help you watch over her?”
Samantha sighed. “Chelle, you know that’s unrealistic.”
Rochelle knew that it was unrealistic as soon as she suggested it. Although she did not want to admit it, her biggest support was still Jonathan.
Jonathan was notoriously cold-blooded and only protected the people he wanted to protect. The life or death of anyone else was of no concern to him whatsoever
.
His brain simply worked differently from that of ordinary people.
He did not have the sympathy or compassion that ordinary people had and was a ruthless person through and through.
However, Rochelle had no right to speak of him either.
There was one thing she shared in common with Jonathan, and that was the lack of sympathy and compassion. She only cared about the people important to her.
Samantha was one of those people. She cared deeply about Samantha and always ensured that Samantha was her top priority.
Seeing Rochelle’s silence, Samantha continued, “If Harmony’s already brave enough to do all this when she’s not yet Mrs. Barker, then she’ll be even more reckless when she finally marries him.”
Rochelle agreed with that observation.
She had gone head-to-head against Harmony for three years.
Although she despised such heinous evildoers, she could attest to how difficult it was to deal with someone like that.
Harmony was a narrow-minded person who would seek revenge over the most trivial of matters. Once she became Mrs. Barker, it was almost certain that her first target would be Old Madam Barker, who had so vehemently disapproved of her.
Rochelle knew deep down that her biggest difference from Samantha was that Samantha cared much more for those who treated her sincerely and cherished them very much.
Aside from Rochelle, the only other person whom Samantha would find it hard to part with was Old Madam Barker.
Rochelle finally calmed down after being persuaded. She glanced at the old lady lying on the bed and asked, “What are you going to do?”
After a pause, she pretended to tease, “Maybe you can just crash the wedding and object to their marriage. That’ll shatter Harmony’s dream and stop her from becoming Mrs. Barker. She wouldn’t be capable of dealing with Old Madam Barker anymore after that.”
Samantha only answered her with a chuckle. “Hehe.”
If she still loved Timothy or had any wishful hopes for him, she might really crash the wedding and object to the marriage. Unfortunately, she did not care about him at all!
Timothy and Harmony were in love with each other and it was none of her business!
She was not going to look for trouble.
Upon seeing that, Rochelle had a straight face and said, “Alright, enough with the joking. What exactly are we going to do?”
The word ‘we’ warmed Samantha’s heart.
When it came to Samantha’s matters, Rochelle always treated it as if it was her business too, rather than just Samantha’s alone!
She could not help but hug Rochelle’s arm. “If you were a man, we would’ve grown up as childhood sweethearts and had a perfect fairytale love story from our school days up until our wedding.”
Rochelle nodded repeatedly. “Those two scumbags Timothy and Jonathan wouldn’t exist in our lives. People like them shouldn’t get married! It’d be best if they stay single for the rest of their lives!”
Samantha was amused.
That was probably the first time she ever relaxed and chuckled after Samantha returned to the country.
She sat up straight again and thought for a moment before saying, “My idea is very simple. I want Harmony to be afraid of hurting Grandma on a whim in the future. I want to make sure there’s something to prevent her from committing these acts again! That way, nothing will happen to Grandma even if I’m not here.”
Samantha had always possessed a clear line of thought and Rochelle agreed with her idea. “What will that ‘thing’ be?”
Samantha grinned slightly. Rather than answering that question, she asked, “Do you remember that special medicine?”
Rochelle immediately understood when she heard Samantha’s question.
Samantha was hinting at the special medication being physical evidence that Harmony had poisoned Old Madam Barker. All they lacked was a witness.
Where were they going to get that witness?
Rochelle exchanged glances with Samantha and both of them instantly figured out the answer from each other’s look.
The doctor who had been treating Old Madam Barker!
As long as that doctor accused Harmony of being the mastermind behind Old Madam Barker’s poisoning, they would have evidence of Harmony’s intent to murder.
Samantha then said, “I need some brawn, Chelle.”
After all, neither she nor Rochelle could do anything to the doctor right away.
Rochelle nodded, “I’ll let Blockhead go.”
Samantha knew the so-called blockhead was Jonathan’s most trusted bodyguard. He was extremely skilled, but...
She shook her head and said, “It’s too obvious. Everyone knows that Blockhead serves Jonathan. We need to find someone who’s unknown but is just as skilled.”
Rochelle shrugged. “Fine. You’re my darling, so I’d be more than willing to make a sacrifice to help you get what you want.”
Samantha blew her a kiss. “Thanks, Babe.”
That night, Samantha asked about the doctor from Aunt Julia and found out that his name was Paul Highton. He had treated Old Madam Barker for many years, and the old lady trusted him a lot. One could hear Aunt Julia’s bitterly disappointed tone after knowing that he would suddenly help Harmony poison the old lady.
Samantha lamented to herself.
It was no surprise that an outsider’s character would change when Old Madam Barker’s own grandson Timothy’s could change too.
Not everyone had a conscience.
Samantha informed her findings to Rochelle through WeTalk and Rochelle replied to her with an ‘OK’ emoji.
…
Three days soon passed.
Samantha had been in the hospital all this time and took turns watching over Old Madam Barker with Aunt Julia. Timothy had never shown up there and he did not even make a phone call to show his concern. Ronald was the one who called Aunt Julia once a day to check on the situation.
Although there was no point putting hope in Timothy, Samantha could not help but spurn him for being worse than his assistant.
She figured that Timothy had played some role in Old Madam Barker’s worsening condition during the past three years. How could she not feel heartbroken to see her own grandson being so unfilial?
That day, Samantha was wiping Old Madam Barker’s body with a warm towel when the phone rang.
Seeing that it was Rochelle’s call, she picked up the phone with a smile on her face because she thought that things had all been settled.
Unfortunately, a frown appeared gradually on Samantha’s relaxed forehead after she heard what Rochelle said.
