“Hey, what’s with you? I just saved your life! How can you treat me like this?”He pulled Tina by the arm, but all he saw were tears streaming down her face. She sobbed bitterly, “It’s all your fault that they’re here for me! You even told them you’re my boyfriend! What do you want from me?!”She never offended anyone, except the woman that came with Mr. Jackson.This probably happened because the woman misunderstood her relationship with him!Mr. Jackson, however, had never thought of this. Being the playboy he was, he constantly flirted around with women. He never stopped to consider others' feelings.All of his enemies never had the guts to get revenge on him, so it could be possible that they went for Tina because of him.Judging from his expression, Tina saw that she was probably right.And so, she walked away without turning back.Knowing that he was probably the reason, Mr. Jackson tried to explain things to Tina.“I never thought you’d be affected! I’m really sorry abo
The moment Mr. Jackson said that, the man on the phone replied in surprise, “Yeah! How did you know that? I’ve never heard of her name in the past. All I knew was that she’s called Tina Lynd. Do you know her?”“No, I don’t. Make sure to not leak this information to the public, by the way. Be careful of Samuel. He’s a difficult one.”As soon as he was done talking, Mr. Jackson ended the call. He stared at Tina, who stood in front of him. Disbelief was apparent in his eyes.“How is this possible?! If Samuel really did marry you, then why doesn’t anyone else know about this?” he asked.Moreover, Mr. Jackson could see that Tina was dressed in a cheap and ugly outfit. With Samuel’s current position and power, there was no way he would let the woman he loved work for someone else while dressed so hideously.“I have no obligation to answer you anything. Anyway, stop bothering me already. If Samuel found out about what you’ve done, you should know what consequences await you,” Tina warned
After all, Madam Langford only had half a year left to live. She absolutely mustn’t suffer from any form of emotional triggers. No matter how much Samuel hated that disgusting Tina, it wasn’t time for her to die yet.Several minutes after Tina was dragged into the van, her hands and feet bound tight, she found herself in an abandoned factory.The factory was located in a rural area. Despite her efforts, she quickly realized that escape was impossible. Despair flooded Tina’s heart. She gazed at the leader, whose face was scarred, and asked, “Why did you abduct me? I didn’t go around seducing anyone’s husbands! If this is about money, I’ll give it to you! Please, just let me go…”“Let you go? Keep dreaming, woman!” Scarface laughed coldly in response. “That’s impossible. Someone offered us thirty million dollars for your life. They also want us to enjoy you thoroughly before we kill you. How could we possibly let you go?”“Why?” Tina couldn’t believe her ears. Still, she held onto
Tina was already feeling uncomfortable from the start. The abduction had sapped her strength, so she couldn’t muster the energy to struggle against her bonds.She could only close her eyes in despair and said through clenched teeth, “You’ll definitely reap what you sowed, Miss Young.”“Is that so?” Cindy laughed before replying smugly, “I don’t believe in such things! Back then, I took on someone else’s identity and caused Samuel to treat me this way. Today, I’ll step on you and become Samuel’s one and only woman!”By then, Tina no longer had the energy to decipher what Cindy meant. Just as Cindy was about to make her move, her phone suddenly rang. Victor’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line. He reported anxiously, “Miss Young, this is bad! Mr. Langford has discovered Tina’s plight! He’s on the way here, and he’s about to arrive soon!”“What?!” Cindy couldn’t believe her ears. “How is it possible for him to know about Tina’s abduction?! He was still at the meetin
Tina’s eyes were filled with raw terror. She was covered in bruises and lacerations that indicated her earlier torture from head to toe. The moment Samuel laid his eyes on her battered form, he couldn’t help but feel frightened for her.It was a good thing she was alive.No matter how much Samuel hated Tina, he couldn’t help but soften his tone when he spoke. “Don’t worry. Those people were criminals who were on the run. They were shot to death on sight. All you need to do now is to recover,” he said.Tina was stunned when she heard those words. “They’re all dead?” “That’s right. They’re dead. No one will hurt you anymore,” Samuel affirmed.Tina’s emotions started running rampant at that moment. She grabbed Samuel’s hand as she asked, “W-What about Cindy?”Samuel couldn’t help but frown. “What does this have to do with her?”It was clear that he didn’t know about Cindy’s involvement.“She was the one who wanted me dead!” Tina explained hurriedly. “She spent thirty million do
“Speak.” Samuel’s tone was awfully cold.Sandy shot a look in Tina’s direction before replying, “Mr. Langford, we’ve tracked down the identity of the person who called you. It was Mr. Jackson from the Jackson family, from the time…”It referred to the time Tina bumped into Mr. Jackson in the nightclub.Tina finally realized something. It was precisely because of that phone call that Samuel had discovered her plight, hence his rescue…She didn’t expect the caller to be Mr. Jackson. Despite her swift rejection of his advances, he still chose to help her out. Her tone tinged with slight worry, Tina asked, “Where’s Mr. Jackson right now?”Sandy didn’t bother answering her question. Instead, he handed over the documents that he had been holding to Samuel to read. The latter scanned through them once, his expression instantly darkening.He hadn’t paid attention to Tina recently, and she had already started seducing Mr. Jackson. Now, she was actually caring about another man right bef
However…When Tina shot that disappointed look in his direction, for some reason, his breath got hitched in his throat.Once Samuel regained his senses, he realized he had pulled out his phone and dialed Cindy’s number. In the past, she would always pick up his calls straight away. Yet today, no one picked up today. A frown graced his features as a seed of suspicion started taking root within his heart.Meanwhile, Cindy cowered in a corner while staring at the name that popped up on her phone screen in fright. She grabbed Victor’s arm tightly while asking fearfully, “What should I do? Samuel’s calling me right now! He can’t have discovered the truth, right?”The sight of a weak-looking and helpless Cindy made Victor’s heart ache for her.“Don’t worry, Miss Young. Tina won’t be able to affect your relationship with Mr. Langford,” he tried to soothe her.All Cindy could mutter was, “You don’t know anything. You have no idea at all…”She spent ten years fooling everyone into thin
Tina woke up from the nightmare instantly. In her dream, she had returned to the time when she got abducted as an eight-year-old. Not only did she fail to save the injured boy, but she was also thrown into the river by Cindy and almost drowned there.Her eyes snapped open immediately and she took in her surroundings. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief after that.Tina was rescued by Samuel, but he didn’t believe her explanation at all…It was all thanks to Mr. Jackson’s decision to notify Samuel that she was still alive right now, but what if the same thing were to happen to her in the future? Would Samuel stand aside and watch her die?Those thoughts clogged up Tina’s mind immediately. Then, she saw the array of messages and notifications on her phone. One of them attracted her attention immediately. It was a message from an unknown phone number.“If you’re rescued, reply to this message so that I know that you’re safe,” it wrote.The message was signed by Frederick Ja
Chapter 826The man's breath was scalding her skin, and his deep, husky voice assailed her eardrums.Like a scared rabbit, Tina abruptly turned around and asked, "What are you doing..."She turned around, only to end up in his arms. The man happened to bend down, but she kissed him by accident. It was not her intention.Tina widened her eyes in astonishment.Samuel hadn't expected her to suddenly turn around. It was such a pleasant surprise.He didn't give the woman a chance to escape. He lifted the blanket to cover Kara and keep her out of the improper scene.In the next instant...He wrapped his arms around Tina's slender waist."Heh, did you do that on purpose, eh?" His voice was thick with playfulness."I didn't." Tina avoided making eye contact with the man.'Come on, it was just an instinctive reaction.'Unexpectedly, things went this way. She found it hard to explain.As expected, Samuel was not convinced. "Stop quibbling."This woman was full of lies.He found
Chapter 825Tina originally felt a little embarrassed. As she listened to Kara's words, Tina's fair face and ears turned red uncontrollably."What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry over here and take a nap?"Tina couldn't help but glare at her daughter.She couldn't understand why her daughter said that. Keith must have taught Kara such things.Tina thought, 'I should talk with Keith.'Although he was a genius hacker, and he knew a lot of things at a young age, he couldn't mislead his sister.Just as Tina was muttering inwardly, Keith, who was talking to Arthur, suddenly sneezed."Wow, boss, I didn't expect you to sneeze like an ordinary person."Arthur said with a voice changer, "Tut, tut. Is someone cursing you?Keith couldn't help but frown."Who dares to curse me?" He narrowed his eyes. Although his face was young, his tone was like that of Samuel. "Is it you?"At these words, Arthur immediately broke a sweat as if a big crime was pinned on him."Boss, I was w
Chapter 824Samuel was walking so fast that Tina had to jog to keep up. She was afraid of being left behind.Finally, Samuel stopped at the door to Kara's room.After he carried Kara inside, Tina came up.The sight of the woman appearing and panting made him frown."What happened to you?""I," Tina stammered, "you walked too fast. I couldn't keep up."She didn't know why she was so weak now.It was not a long way from the courtyard to the room. The trotting had brought profuse sweat to her forehead. Her face was a bit pale, and she was teetering.Samuel saw it, tensed up, and grabbed her despite his anger at her.Like iron, his robust arm wrapped around the waist of the tottering woman.His brows locked in a frown, he said coldly, "Did you cast the doctor's caution to the wind? You're aware of your condition and know that you need to recuperate, yet you ran so fast. You'd get yourself killed."In a deep voice, he reproached Tina for not caring about herself.To Tina's ears
Chapter 823"What?" Immediately, the maid got the attention of the other maids around. The maid glanced at Tina who was chasing after Samuel and gleefully told the others what had happened earlier. "Mr. Langford warned that woman that she was only a maid. "He also told the little princess that the woman was not her mummy. Only his wife could be the little princess's mommy!" The other maids were stunned. "Really, Mr. Langford really said that?" "If Mr. Langford treats her as a maid, how can she come to the party this afternoon and wear such a fancy dress..." "It must be due to the little princess!" "Mr. Langford gave her some decency for the sake of the kids, but that woman went too far. I heard she claimed at the party that she was Mr. Langford's woman. She went out of the boundary." "Mr. Langford must have been angry with this woman. He went to take the little princess away himself and warned..." The maids gossiped and chattered. They used to be careful
Chapter 822Samuel's tone was icy.Kara pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "But Mommy is not a maid. Even if Mommy were a maid, she would always be Kara's mommy."Kara's words gave Samuel a headache.Samuel thought, 'Ah! Like mother, like daughter!'Tina always makes me nervous, and so does Kara. Kara is on her mother's side and doesn't take me seriously.'They may be secretly calling me a bastard.'Samuel stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "You are very unwilling to let your mommy leave, right?""Yes!" Kara nodded her head repeatedly."Then tell me. Do you want me, or do you want your mommy?"At Samuel's words, everyone around was stunned.Tina was a little confused and wondered if she had misheard. How could Samuel possibly say this?Why...Tina was amused, feeling Samuel's annoyance. The originally cold and ruthless man looked a little childish.The drivers also lowered their heads, trying to pretend they had not heard anything.Samuel, however, did not bother
Chapter 821Once the words were out of Samuel's mouth, Tina's heart was in her throat again.She looked at his dark eyes that were gleaming with playful light and immediately had a bad feeling. Despite that, she asked, "What... is it?""Moving into my room!" Samuel replied.His authoritative tone brooked no argument.In fact, this couldn't be called a request.If he wanted, this woman should have appeared in his room last night. He wouldn't have let her go to the room next to the children's.Samuel was just upset that this woman had failed to appreciate his kindness. Through this, he hoped that she would cooperate.However...Tina subconsciously blurted out, "No!"…The air in the car was frozen in an instant."Say it again?" Samuel forced the words out of his gritted teeth.His scowl frightened Tina so much that a cold sweat broke out on her back.She was too careless to blurt out her thoughts.She had to explain, "It's... not like that. I mean, the children need care
Chapter 820"Haha, Daddy is really nice. Daddy was worried about me and Mommy?!" Kara immediately said. Samuel, who didn't want to admit he was terribly worried, snorted. "Yes, I really was. I was worried that your mommy would kidnap you!"When she heard Samuel had specially come over to pick up their daughter, Tina had had some inexplicable feelings. But after hearing her explanation, she felt like he had poured a basin of cold water down her head, making all her feelings disappear. Yeah, of course, Samuel was worried! He didn't trust her at all, but treated their daughter so nicely as if she was a little princess. Of course, he was afraid that she would kidnap his precious daughter!Feeling so uncomfortable, she could not help but say, "I wasn't thinking about kidnapping the child…""Really?" Samuel asked with a very suspicious eye, "Do you think I'll believe what you say?!"Honestly, this little woman just turned around and ran away without any hesitation. But she d
Chapter 819When the car came into Tina's sight without any presage, her face turned pale.She was afraid that someone would get out of the car to harm her, so having no hesitation, she turned and ran with Kara in her arms.Immediately afterwards, a man's shout came from behind..."Tina! Where are you going?"His voice was pleasant to the ear, though it was tinged with annoyance.Tina's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and a sense of security came over her.‘It's Samuel!’She stopped running. Before she could turn around, Samuel had caught her wrist.It seemed that he was worried that Tina would run away with their daughter.Samuel exerted so much strength that Tina gave a gasp in pain."It hurts!" She subconsciously cried out and struggled. "Release me..."However, upon hearing her words, Samuel got angry.He was going to be infuriated by Tina!He went to the hospital in the morning. During the examination and treatment, he missed Tina and their children a lot.However, w
Chapter 818Mireya was pissed off. She grabbed Madam Langford's arm and angrily complained, "Godmother, look! How dare she publicly say that? She is so ambitious! "We must not let her marry Samuel!" Madam Langford patted Mireya's hand and said, "Don't worry! Samuel will only marry you! Such a slut cannot marry into our family!" "What about our previous plans..." Mireya asked. After thinking for a while, Madam Langford replied, "We'll leave this woman alone for a few days... Then we will..."People saw Mireya and Madam Langford whispering to each other, and they thought that Madam Langford was very fond of Mireya. "Mireya will definitely marry Mr. Langford. Look how close she is to Madam Langford!" "Yes! As for that woman..." Speaking of which, they turned their eyes to Tina. Even though Tina was never conspicuous, and neither did she care about others’ opinion, those people were always picking faults with Tina and slandered her. "Although Mr. Langford loves
