Samantha trailed behind the waiter at a safe distance, and she even made sure she walked lightly. Hence, the server did not notice him, and Samantha managed to follow him until the end of the corridor.
When the server stopped, he looked around. After making sure that there was no one, he took out the phone.
Samantha did not know how he knew the password to her phone, but she saw him quickly typing something.
Samantha was hiding behind a pillar, and even though she could not tell what the server typed, she guessed that he sent out a message using her phone.
Next, the server waited until the message was sent, deleted it, and turned off the phone. After that, he threw the phone into a dustbin nearby.
As soon as he was done, he quickly left.
Samantha appeared from behind the pillar and swiftly walked toward the dustbin. Then, she took her phone out and turned it back on.
She recovered the deleted message and read through the content.
When Samantha saw the recipient’s number, she was surprised. She did not expect that Violet would order the server to text Timothy!
The content was, [Get Timothy to come to the guest room on the second floor half an hour later. There’s something important that I need to tell him.]
Samantha pondered for a while.
Initially, Samantha thought Violet invited her to this party because she was aiming at her. However, it seemed things were not as simple as she imagined.
Violet was not only planning against Samantha.
It was just as Chelle said, the mother-daughter duo was too ambitious.
If that was so, Samantha was really interested to know what they would do!
The guest room was upstairs…
Samantha smiled. Then, she tied her long hair into a ponytail and tore off the train on her dress. This way, she could move better.
Later, she walked back into the hall and blended herself into the crowd. After that, she snuck upstairs just when no one was noticing.
The second floor was empty, and it was extremely quiet.
Nonetheless, Samantha still carefully made her way to the guest room. When she reached the room, she first knocked on the door.
Only when she confirmed that no noises were coming from inside did she turn the knob and walked in.
Samantha quickly swept her gaze around the room. It was just an ordinary guest room and there was nothing special. Just as she was wondering about Violet’s intention, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
Did he not say half an hour later? Why was Timothy already there?
Since there was no time for her to escape, Samantha made a prompt decision and walked toward the big closet. Then, she opened the door and hid inside.
Just as she hid, the guest room door opened, and the footsteps became clearer.
Samantha peeped outside through the tiny gap of the closet. It was not Timothy but Penelope and what seemed to be her housekeeper.
Penelope directed the housekeeper, “Hurry and arrange the things.”
The housekeeper nodded and placed the tiny thing in her hand onto the decoration at the bedhead. After that, she took out a small incense, put it on the bedside table, and lit it.
“Ms. Schmidt, everything is in order,” the housekeeper reported.
Penelope nodded satisfyingly. “You can go out and stay guard. Immediately inform me when Timothy comes up.”
“Sure, Ms. Schmidt.” Then, the housekeeper left the room.
Penelope’s face was filled with excitement and yearning. When she thought about what would happen next, her cheeks flushed from the thrill, and even her voice was full of love. “Timmy, you’ll be mine soon!”
Seeing this, Samantha had already known what the plan was.
The two items that the housekeeper placed were probably a pinhole camera and incense with a powerful aphrodisiac.
Violet and Penelope were scheming against Timothy!
Nonetheless, Violet was no fool. She knew well the consequences of offending Timothy. Hence, she used the thorn in her side, Samantha, as the scapegoat.
Therefore, Violet arranged for someone to steal her phone and tricked Timothy over. When Timothy came, he would be under the influence of the aphrodisiac, and Violet could put all the blame on Samantha.
As for Penelope, if she suddenly appeared at that time, she would become Timothy’s antidote.
Their actions in the room would be recorded. Then, the video would become evidence to force Timothy to take responsibility for Penelope, and he would have to marry her.
To prevent any errors, Samantha guessed that Violet would make the situation more severe, by broadcasting it live.
Thus, when everyone saw what happened, the Barker family would have to be responsible for the Schmidt family, and they would have to get into a marriage alliance!
At that time, the person manipulated would only be Samantha, and she must bear all the blame.
Violet’s scheme was to kill two birds with one stone. She was indeed smart and evil, unlike Sheena and Penelope, who were so simple-minded.
If she were less vigilant, she would already fall into Violet’s trap.
It was such a shame that Violet was messing with the wrong person! Samantha was not a coward, and she would not let Violet push her around.
“Ms. Schmidt, Mr. Barker is coming up!” The housekeeper quickly ran over to inform Penelope.
“Alright. Thank you for letting me know,” Penelope answered as she walked toward the bathroom,” Go and hide. Make sure to tell mommy when Timmy walks in. We can’t afford to make any mistakes!”
There was no room for mistakes!
The housekeeper replied, “Don’t worry about it, Ms. Schmidt. I know what to do!”
Then, she hurriedly walked out and softly closed the door.
A few seconds later, the door was again pushed open, and the man’s steady footsteps could be heard approaching.
The scent of incense had already filled the room.
Timothy frowned, and he felt that something was up. The first thing he did was to cover his nose and mouth. However, he still could not avoid sniffing in some of the air.
Moreover, this smell was pungent. Even though Timothy was already immune to most drugs, he felt his body gradually warming.
Timothy’s obsidian eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he swiftly walked forward to put out the incense on the bedside table. Then, he turned around and was ready to leave.
Penelope suddenly came out of the bathroom, and she was only wearing a bathrobe. The collar of her robe was opened, showing off her porcelain skin.
When she saw Timothy, she acted surprised. “Timmy, what are you doing here?”
Timothy’s dark gaze fell on her face, and there was a gloomy light surging in his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking about.
At the same time, the crowds downstairs were cheering. Finally, it was time to show a video on Violet and Justin’s loving marriage.
Penelope could not care less, so she delicately exclaimed, “Timmy, I’m not sure what’s happening… It’s so hot and so uncomfortable… ”
As she said that, she rushed toward Timothy with her cherry lips aiming at his.
