Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Chapter 403

[The charitable and beautiful Harmony Johnson has been suspected of hiring a hitman. Does she possess true kindness or is she merely showing false compassion?)

Once that news was published by a reporter, such a huge discussion ensued that even Waybo crashed for some time.

During the past three years, Harmony’s private life has been criticized by everyone but no substantive evidence had ever been recorded. Moreover, the media and public opinion had always inclined toward her, and while there were a few people who might mock her on the internet, most of what they said

were harmless.

The charitable achievements she has made in the past three years were obvious to all.

For example, a major earthquake broke out in a certain city two years ago and there were numerous casualties. She donated a hundred million of her own funds, then mobilized her strength to call on major companies and various wealthy individuals to donate their money. A total of one billion was raised

to help everyone that year.

Capital City TV later made a special report for her, and she was also invited to the New Year Gala where an award was then presented to her.

Another one of her deeds happened a year ago. News broke out about a group of kids whose parents were forced to leave them behind after having to seek employment elsewhere. She not only called for donations but even went to the area in person and lived with them for more than a month. After

thoroughly understanding their predicament, two schools and a dormitory immediately commenced construction on the spot. A large number of books were bought too and the ten children were adopted with the promise of helping them reach successfully reach 18 years of age.

At that time, the internet praised her as a ‘Mother Theresa’.

Many similar incidents had since cemented her good reputation as a kind-hearted, compassionate, and understanding person.

As a result, it was all the more shocking when it was revealed that Harmony had hired a hitman.

Everyone’s first reaction was to call that reporter out for talking nonsense. No one believed him, and a group of Harmony’s supporters even flocked to the reporter’s Waybo account to spam insults and report his account.

He was asked to delete the post and apologize in public!

The reporter was a newbie, but he had a very tough temper. Not only did he refuse to shrink back after being exposed in such a manner, he even gave them what they wanted and countered them with solid evidence.

That evidence was none other than a recording of Old Madam Barker’s personal doctor, Paul Highton.

Paul said, “Ms. Johnson held a grudge against the old madam because she never liked nor approved of Ms. Johnson. While the old madam was ill, Ms. Johnson coerced me into putting slow-acting poison in the old madam’s medication.”

“She eventually told me to increase the dosage just so the old madam would fall terribly sick. That way, the old madam could no longer stop her from marrying into the Barkers! This gambit of hers only failed because the old madam was lucky to survive!”

Immediately afterward, Paul revealed the previous transfer records and call records.

Not long later, Old Madam Barker accepted a phone interview from the media as well.

The gist of it was that Harmony tried to harm her, and it was because she knew that Harmony was an unsavory character that she did not agree for Harmony to become her daughter-in-law.

That ironclad evidence was a big slap in the face for Harmony’s supporters, and public opinion took a tum in the blink of an eye. Everyone rushed to Harmony’s Waybo profile and demanded that she come forward to explain!

However, there was no news from her even though it had already been six hours after the news came out. Even some of the media personnel who were much closer to her than others were unable to get in touch with her.

Many people speculated that she did not dare to come forth because she was genuinely guilty.

That was proof enough that Harmony was a malicious character who hired a hitman for her selfish desires!

Inside the hospital ward, Rochelle scrolled through Waybo on her cell phone and cried laughing when she read all those netizens’ wonderful comments.

Those netizens were savage.

Even so, Rochelle’s heart felt absolutely delighted when she saw those comments.

She struggled to stop laughing and looked up at Samantha sitting on the bed. She praised Samantha generously and said, “You’re amazing Sammy. I can’t believe you were able to think of this method!”

Rochelle would have forgotten all about Paul if Samantha had not brought it up.

Samantha smiled slightly. “When Harmony did that, she ought to have expected that this day would come.”

The reasons she chose not to reveal it at that time were twofold: firstly, she did not want to get involved in it, and secondly, it was not yet time.

Nevertheless, she always kept score of all the bad things Harmony did.

When Harmony stood in the way of her and Timothy, pissed her off, and stopped her, it was only a matter of course for her to deal with Harmony!

The time had finally come to get even for all their old and new scores!

She had to smite Harmony and prevent Harmony from ever doing all those things again!

If she did not do so, Harmony would always be around Timothy, hypnotizing him, suppressing his main personality. That would make all of Samantha’s efforts be in vain!

“Well, Harmony always thinks that luck is in on her side, but there’s no such thing as endless luck in this world. It’s about time to give her a lesson on the terrors of society!” Rochelle said, then suddenly thought of something and frowned.

She then added, “Sammy, even though this news is now public, Dr. Highton was only willing to reveal everything as a show of gratitude for us letting him escape the last time around. He won’t come back to the country to testify against Harmony! In other words, the police won’t help us find Harmony if no

police report is made!”

“If Harmony keeps quiet and doesn’t show up or respond, then this issue will last a week at most before people start forgetting about it. Wouldn’t that send our efforts down the drain?”

The reason why the news only came out three days later was because they had been persuading Paul for the first three days. They assured him that they could guarantee his safety if he came back to the country to testify against Harmony.

Paul firmly refused though. He did not want to dive back into such murky waters again, and he could only provide them with the past evidence because he wanted to protect his own life and his family’s safety.

Samantha did not want to force him so she accepted it.

Rochelle’s worries were entirely understandable.

However, Samantha did not look worried or anxious and was very calm instead. She picked up the cup of water and took a few sips before saying slowly, “This is just the first step.”

‘When Rochelle saw Samantha’s calmness, she knew that Samantha must have already formulated the second step deep down.

It should not have come as a surprise.

Ordinary people assessed their next move with each step they took, but intelligent people were already looking ten steps ahead with every step they took.

They were both already beginning to look forward to seeing Harmony’s ‘perfect’ downfall!

24 hours had passed and public opinion had reached its peak.

Since no one has been able to contact or find Harmony, they were all guessing whether she had fled in fear of the consequences of her crime.

Early the next morning, Samantha was awakened by her phone ringing all of a sudden.

Samantha reached for the phone and answered it, and as soon as the call was connected, she heard Rochelle’s pleasant-sounding voice saying excitedly, “Sammy! Harmony responded!”
