  Samantha was just as surprised when she heard that Old Madam Barker was unconditionally going to give her the shares.

  For the record, 25% of the shares were worth a huge sum based on the Barker Group’s market value then.

  Samantha could never have asked for her shares since doing so would provide her undeserved enrichment, especially when those shares were equivalent to Old Madam Barker’s entire net worth.

  However, Old Madam Barker managed to get Samantha to come around.

  “The shares I own are Timothy’s shares, but they’re still in my hands because I’m still alive. All my property will belong to Timothy once I kick the bucket.”


  “This transfer is also somewhat of a compensation for what he did. Even though he became like this today, I’m still his grandmother. Neither of us can bring ourselves to do anything to each other. This is the only thing I can do for him…and for you too. So please, Sammy… Accept it.”


  “As wealthy as you are, you can’t bring back your life with it nor take it to the grave. I’ve lived a long enough life to experience many things and there’s nothing else I wish for or lack. Rather than keeping these shares, it’d be better for you to have them and do with them what you wish!”


  Samantha was unable to refute anything the old lady said.

  The first reason was that she felt touched by Old Madam Barker’s gesture. The second was that……those shares could put a leash on Timothy and he could no longer force a divorce in such a short time. That way, she would still have a chance to stay by Timothy’s side and find out what happened to Matthew.

  Of course, if luck was on her side and she successfully found Matthew, she would still return the shares to Old Madam Barker. For the moment, she treated it as if it was just a ‘temporary loan’.

  …


  At the end of the meeting, the board members left the meeting while discussing amongst themselves.

  Timothy and Samantha were soon the only ones left in the huge conference room.

  Timothy lifted his eyes to look at Samantha and curled his lips as he said insipidly, “You always seem to shed a whole new perspective on yourself, Samantha.”


  The last time around, Old Madam Barker had come from the hospital to save her life.

  Then, she got the old lady to give her all those shares and support her when confronting him.

  He did not have any objections to the 25% shares held by his grandmother, but since the Barker Group was flourishing, many people were staring at that huge slice of the pie.

  If he could not gain 100% control over the company, various quarters would seek opportunities to erode his authority.

  That was something he most certainly could not allow to happen!

  Samantha maintained her faint smile. “You flatter me, but Grandma’s the one who was worried about us and wants us to live peacefully.”


  She emphasized the word ‘peacefully’.

  She did not want to make an enemy out of him, nor did she want to get entangled with him any further. As long as he let go of Matthew and her, she would immediately bring Matthew away without ever showing up in front of him again!

  He merely twitched his lips in response to her words.

  Timothy then stood up, strode over, then reached out and grabbed her wrist.

  Although Samantha had her guard up, her movements were not as quick as his. She frowned for a moment, but her smile soon returned. While allowing him to hold her, she asked, “What is it?”


  “Let’s talk.”


  After uttering those two words, Timothy immediately pulled her up from the chair and walked out.

  He held her firmly in a grip that was neither too tight nor too loose, but Samantha could not break free at all and could only let herself be dragged into his office.

  The door slammed shut.

  Samantha felt as if her entire body had been thrown forcefully against the door panel. The next second, the man’s slender fingers choked her delicate neck with nimble accuracy.

  The man looked at her blankly and said in a cold, murderous voice, “How brave can you be to threaten me like this, Samantha?”


  He tightened his grip slightly and Samantha immediately had difficulty breathing.

  She stretched out her hand involuntarily and tried to pry his fingers. She spoke with great difficulty, “Timothy, you……you’re the one who…threatened me first!”


  Letting him have his way without putting up a fight was out of the question.

  Timothy laughed and there was a faint but devilish glow in his eyes. “It seems I’ve been too kind to you these days, which is probably why you are under the false notion that you can provoke me.”


  “Time to put an end to this game!”


  As soon as he said that, he clenched his hand forcefully without leaving her with any more leeway.

  Samantha’s strength was far from enough to get him to budge. She looked at Timothy’s handsomely expressionless face and saw how calm he was. There was a distinct lack of grimness and maliciousness, yet she had the feeling that he wanted her dead.

  Ending a life was something that appeared to be nothing more than routine for him.

  That was something that left her feeling somewhat suprised.

  Timothy seemed to be emotionless at that moment.

  Samantha’s face turned red in a flash, and the lack of oxygen started to turn her vision black. Her survival instinct then made her hand grab Timothy’s hand forcefully.

  She gripped his arm so tightly that her fingernails left behind several bloody streaks on his arm.

  The pain seemed to trigger something in him and there was a slight fluctuation at the bottom of his gloomy eyes.

  Samantha’s strength was waning gradually due to her lack of oxygen. Her hands drooped weakly and tears unconsciously began to fall from the corners of her eyes.

  Those tears streamed down and reached Timothy’s hand.

  Samantha thought that her life was coming to an end. The person she thought of in her mind should be Matthew, but after various scenes had zoomed past, the final picture that appeared in her mind was Timothy’s figure.

  It happened to be the first time she ever laid eyes on Timothy.

  One look at that handsome young man in a white shirt sent her falling head over heels for him.

  Samantha closed her eyes slowly.

  Just as she was about to suffocate to death, the grip on her neck loosened all of a sudden.

  Unable to support herself any longer, Samantha’s body slid down weakly against the door and she could not help but cough frantically as her hands covered her neck.

  Why would Timothy let go all of a sudden? Her death was already a certainty if he held on for another second!

  After taking a couple of seconds to regain her senses, she raised her eyes and looked at Timothy through her misty eyes. Little did she expect that Timothy’s expression would be just as terrible as she was.

  Discerning his expression was still difficult even though he was frowning and had a sombre look, yet he seemed to be uncomfortable and in pain as he massaged his temples with one hand.

  Why did Timothy look more agonized than she was when she was the one who got choked?

  What the hell is wrong with him? Did some illness suddenly act up?

  His body was still in great shape and he consumed only the best food and drink. There were no apparent health issues with him!

  Timothy sensed Samantha’s gaze and raised his eyes all of a sudden. When he looked over, he immediately made eye contact with her.

  Samantha could see with clarity the redness in his eyes and it seemed to be stained by a strong killing intent.

  All of a sudden, Timothy lifted his feet again and strode towards her!
