Samantha went straight to Lychee TV.

Her appearance drew the gaze of everyone around her, for there was no one who was as popular as her at that point in time. Even celebrities did not enjoy the fame she had right then.

It went without saying that she had gained plenty of fans after that incident. She walked into the television station and saw young people coming up to her one after another. Most of them said stuff like, ‘You’re amazing!’ or ‘I’m your biggest fan!’

Samantha smiled politely and took the elevator to the third floor. She then proceeded to walk into the office lobby.

No one expected her to come back so suddenly because Lychee TV had already issued a statement to dismiss her from employment.

Everyone was stunned for a moment but reacted to her presence soon enough. Smiles and praises were abounded as they greeted and complimented her.

Samantha had brought about such a stunning turnaround that the company would definitely try its level best to keep her around. Perhaps she might even be given a direct promotion! After all, it would always be beneficial to mend a good relationship.

Samantha was well-versed with the fickle nature of humans. She smiled half-heartedly at everyone and walked to Harmony’s workstation with a very clear goal.

Harmony could not even pretend to ignore Samantha. Under everyone’s gazes, she could not help but squeeze out a little smile and praised insincerely, “You’re back, Sammy. Congratulations for clearing your name.”

Samantha continued to smile and even spoke in a very gentle tone. “There’s something I’d like to speak to you about, Harmony. Could you come out for a moment please?”

What else was Samantha going to say to her? Was she going to show off her victory again?

Harmony was naturally reluctant to hear what Samantha had to say, but Samantha knew that she was the focus now and asked Harmony in front of everyone so the latter could not refuse.

Everyone would keep staring at her otherwise.

Harmony bit her lower lip slightly and said, “Okay.”

Samantha turned around and Harmony followed one step behind.

Harmony originally thought they were just going to talk in the corridor outside, but Samantha went straight into the elevator. She frowned, yet still decided to follow her into the elevator.

The elevator reached the first floor and the two of them walked out.

Samantha walked toward the back entrance of Lychee TV and Harmony was getting a little impatient. However, she could not lose her temper at Samantha because there were more people in the first floor lobby.

She held her temper back and followed Samantha until they walked out of the back entrance and reached an alley.

There was no one else there, and Harmony could no longer remain patient as she said to Samantha from behind, “Where are you taking me, Samantha?”

Samantha stopped when she heard the question and turned around to face her. She subsequently said, “Here will do.”

Harmony found it laughable and said, “Just say what you want. I’m really busy.”

“Sure,” Samantha responded.

She curled her lips evilly and started walking right up to Harmony. Then, she grabbed Harmony’s collar with one hand and grasped her arm with the other to give Harmony a smooth shoulder throw!

Harmony could barely react and was stunned as she fell harshly onto the ground.

Samantha did not give her a chance to breathe at all. She picked Harmony up again and threw her over the shoulder, repeating the process several times.

Harmony’s face turned pale and she screamed in pain after being thrown countless times. She tried to resist and reached out to grab Samantha’s face and hair. Unfortunately, she failed to grab a hold of Samantha and even had to endure Samantha’s counterattack.

Samantha grasped her arm so forcefully that it immediately twisted.

The pain resulting from that dislocation made Harmony scream again and again, but Samantha did the same to her other arm without even batting an eye.

Harmony could no longer move and her entire body was soaked in cold sweat. She collapsed on the ground and looked at Samantha in fear. “Are you crazy? Why are you doing this to me!”

Samantha felt that it was a very funny question and burst out laughing.

She stood in front of Harmony and looked condescendingly at the latter’s miserable appearance before remarking coldly, “What I’m doing to you isn’t nearly half as bad as all that heinous stuff you did in secret, Harmony!”

Harmony’s pupils trembled as she avoided Samantha’s gaze, but she still shouted, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Are you trying to pin the blame on me for the trouble you stirred up? How shameless can you be!”

It seemed Samantha had been too lenient.

“There’s no point for you to have a mouth if you can’t learn to speak properly.” Samantha grasped Harmony’s jaw.

Harmony was terrified because Samantha was a seemingly crazy woman who would definitely beat her up.

“I… I misspoke! I misspoke, alright?”

Samantha grinned slightly and did not show any mercy as she dislocated Harmony’s jaw with a pop.

Harmony was in so much pain that her innocent face had turned hideous.

Samantha seized the moment and savored Harmony’s pain to the fullest. Only then did she step forward and swiftly returned the dislocated body parts back into their original place.

Harmony was so dizzy that she could not even stand up. She stared at Samantha with a burning look of hatred and gritted her teeth while saying, “I won’t forgive you for this, Samantha. Assault and battery are crimes punishable by law! I’ll make sure you’re put in jail for this!”

“Planning to report it to the police? Go ahead.” Samantha was so calm that she even had a smile on her lips. “You need evidence to convict a person. There aren’t witnesses here, let alone any material evidence.”

No material evidence?

Harmony turned her head all of a sudden and looked around.

There were no surveillance cameras installed at the back entrance...

It was no surprise that Samantha brought her there before doing anything. She had avoided the surveillance cameras on purpose and came to an alley where no one was present.

Seeing Harmony’s reaction, Samantha continued, “As for those injuries on your body, you simply got them after falling down. What does it have to do with me? Are you trying to slander me?”

“You!”

Samantha had planned in advance to throw her down and avoid leaving any traces that were left by human hands. Her injuries were simply sustained from a fall, and who could possibly prove that it was not a fall and Samantha was the one who inflicted it upon her?

As for the dislocations, it was not at all convincing because Samantha had already righted the dislocated joints.

In the end, she suffered that beating for nothing because she could not make Samantha pay for it at all!

“I can help you make that police report if you’re not in a position to make one.”

Samantha took her cell phone out and dialed the police hotline. “Remember to tell the police all the details so I can sue you for slander later.”

“I’d be more than happy to give you a chance to enjoy your time in jail. You don’t need to thank me!”

“AHHHHHHH—” Harmony was so angry that she screamed and her face turned ashen with anger.

She never expected Samantha to be that shameless!

Even if she screamed in anger until her lungs exploded, there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it!

Samantha had finally managed to let out all her anger. Seeing Harmony for a second longer was enough of an eyesore, so she turned around and prepared to leave. However, she caught a glimpse of the back door from the corner of her eyes and noticed someone standing there.

It was very likely that the person saw the entire process, because they seemed to be on the phone and had probably been standing there for quite some time already.
