  As soon as Samantha said those words, she could feel the man’s tall body stiffen all of a sudden.

  Timothy slowly distanced himself slightly from her. His black pupils appeared sullen and dark, while another layer of chilliness was thrown into the mix. His voice was as sharp as a knife’s edge, jabbing straight at her. “What did you just say? Say it again!”


  Samantha was not nearly as panicked then as she was earlier when they could have been discovered at any time by anyone else. At that moment, Timothy’s expression and tone made her gulp a few times. Beads of cold sweat even began appearing at her back.

  She did not understand why he was so angry. Did he and Penelope not love each other? There was nothing wrong with what she said!

  Could he be angry at Penelope because……Penelope schemed against him?

  Indeed, Timothy loathed it when other people schemed against him. After all, the reason he hated her that much was because he had constantly misunderstood her!

  Samantha bit her lower lip and corrected herself duly. “Okay, I was wrong, but…… Please hold on a little longer. I’ll bring you out right now, and once you’re out, you can look for another woma—”


  “Samantha!” Timothy gritted his teeth and called her name, interrupting her sentence midway. The anger in his eyes became more intense. He stared straight into Samantha’s gaze as if he was about to skin her alive.

  That damn woman was his wife, yet she went so far as to tell him to look for another woman!

  The immense anger spread throughout his body and the strong medicinal effect further made Timothy’s vision hazy. A murderous aura emanated throughout his body, making him look very shocking.

  His hand reached for his waist, and he seemed to have conjured a special dagger out of nowhere, which he held in his hand.

  The sharp glimmer at the edge of the blade was still visible despite the rather dim light inside the closet.

  He raised the dagger.

  Samantha was stupefied. Did he want to kill her because he was too angry?

  Timothy’s actions were extremely quick and precise. Samantha dodged back by instinct, only to notice……that he stabbed his own thigh instead of her.

  She could hear the sound of clothes tearing and the dull sound of a wound forming on his flesh……

  Samantha’s breathing stopped abruptly.

  He wanted to stab himself……not her……

  She stared down at his thigh in a daze. Blood had already begun to flow out and the entire scene was just shocking.

  “Timothy, you……” At that moment, she did not know what to say.

  The pain caused Timothy’s blurry vision to regain a brief moment of clarity. Without even looking at Samantha, he opened the closet door and walked outside.

  Samantha was stunned for only a few seconds, after which she quickly snapped back and walked out.

  No one noticed them because it was still chaotic outside. After Timothy went out, he took out his cell phone and called his assistant Ronald, who rushed over in a jiffy.

  Ronald was shocked to see his boss suffering such an injury and looking somewhat indisposed. He was equally as startled to see a miserable-looking Samantha following behind Timothy.

  Ronald hurriedly stepped forward to support Timothy and asked worriedly, “Mr. Barker, this……”


  “Let’s go.” Timothy’s voice was dull and low. He gave that order simply and concisely, with a tone that left no doubt to his intentions.

  Ronald did not dare to ask any further and shut his mouth at once. He held Timothy, walked to the car that was waiting outside, and helped the man in.

  Samantha stopped as soon as she saw that.

  Timothy was probably not going to face any issues since Ronald was around. Samantha could then leave, since Timothy was definitely not too pleased to see her.

  She was about to turn around and leave when she heard Ronald’s voice, “Ms. Larsson, where are you going? Get in the car!”


  “I don’t think I—”


  Before Samantha could even refuse, Ronald said again, “You were with Mr. Barker all this time, right? I have no idea what happened to him, and I have to find a doctor to examine him. Mr. Barker is now in a confused state, so someone has to tell the doctor about his situation!”


  Samantha hesitated for a few seconds, but she eventually started walking toward the car and got in.

  After all, Timothy saved her life when she fell ill after calling the doctor just in time to treat her. She could not bring herself to be ungrateful to him for that.

  In any case, all she had to do was give the doctor an account of what happened!

  When Samantha got into the car, Timothy’s handsome face had a frown and he seemed to be in immense pain. Cold sweat was oozing out from his forehead and his lips had turned pale.

  It was clear that he was feeling very uncomfortable; there was the pain from his injury and the suffering he had to endure from that aphrodisiac.

  He nevertheless closed his eyes and leaned motionlessly against the back of the chair without saying a word. Had it not been for his ugly expression, no one would have realized that things were not quite right with him at that moment.

  The car raced fast on the road.

  Ronald sat in the front passenger seat and gave the doctor a call before asking, “Ms. Larsson, what happened to Mr. Barker?”


  Samantha retracted her gaze from Timothy and answered truthfully, “He inhaled an aphrodisiac that probably has a very strong effect. It was Mrs. Schmidt and her daughter’s doing.”


  “What?” Ronald was so scared that he pressed his fist against his lips. “So, uh, did Mr. Barker’s injury come about because…you wanted to stop him from doing stuff to you?”


  Samantha had to control herself from rolling her eyes. “I didn’t do it. He inflicted it on himself.”


  ‘Don’t put the blame on me again!’


  Ronald was speechless.

  After a few seconds of silence, he asked weakly, “Then do I still need to get……another woman for Mr. Barker?”


  As soon as he finished his question, he felt a gust of wind behind him and raised his eyes to glance at the rearview mirror. All he saw was his big boss’s eyes staring at him even though the man had kept them closed ever since getting in the car.

  It was a death stare!

  Ronald immediately understood that he had said something he should not have. He shut his mouth and lowered his head silently.

  Ronald did not drive back to the villa, because he was afraid of making Old Madam Barker worried. As a result, they went to a five-star hotel where Timothy had an exclusive presidential suite.

  Inside the room.

  The doctor examined Timothy before giving him an injection to suppress the aphrodisiac in his body. Once that was done, he began to treat the thigh wound.

  After dealing with the injury for some time, the doctor wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead. He walked to Samantha and Ronald, then said, “Mr. Barker’s condition is stable for now, but he still needs to be observed. If the thigh wound becomes infected, he will be down with a fever tonight. Someone has to accompany him here tonight and take his temperature every two hours.”


  Samantha frowned. “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to send him to the hospital? At least he’ll receive prompt treatment there if a problem pops up.”


  Ronald shook his head without even giving it a second thought. “No. We can’t hide it from Old Madam Barker if we go to the hospital. If she finds out that Mr. Barker is injured, Mr. Barker will kill me.”


  Samantha did not want the old lady to worry.

  The doctor soon left after telling them what to do.

  Since everything was done, Samantha was about to bid Ronald goodbye after looking at the time and noticing that it was already getting late. However, she was just about to speak when Ronald spoke ahead of her.

  “It’s getting late, Ms. Larsson, and I need to go. I’d have to trouble you and leave Mr…… Barker in your capable hands.”
