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

    “Who else would we be talking about?” The colleague, who originally had a decent relationship with Tina, couldn’t help but lament. “She’s super disgusting! I was blind to have watched over her at work in the past! To think that she’s a woman who’d sell her own body! How disgusting!”When Tina heard her colleagues slandering her like that, she finally realized the reason why everyone ignored her today. Her head buzzing with countless thoughts, she rushed into the pantry impulsively out of anger.“What the hell are you guys talking about? How dare you speak ill of people behind their backs! I hope your tongues rot and fall off one day!” Tina growled.Surprised by her appearance, those colleagues decided to reveal their true colors. “Your face should be the one rotting first, you despicable homewrecker! You’re such a shameless wh*re!”“What nonsense are you spouting this time?” Tina was so angry that her body shook. “Is it because of the b*llsh*t those hooligans spouted when they came

    When Tina saw John’s name being displayed on her phone screen, she didn’t dare to pick up the call. Fear flooded her mind at that instant. She was afraid that John had seen the news and refused to believe in her explanation. The phone kept ringing for a very long time before the call eventually disconnected.Immediately after that, Sylvia called her. Initially, Tina thought that something bad had happened at the orphanage. The moment she picked up her phone, all she could hear was Sylvia’s concerned voice.“What’s wrong, Tina? Did you have a fight with Mr. Carter?”“What?” Tina was stunned to hear that.“He called you earlier, but you didn’t pick up. He was worried that you’re mad at him. Did you two fight?” Sylvia elaborated.She had always busied herself with the orphanage’s matters, so she didn’t know about the news that ruined Tina’s reputation on the internet.The older woman advised sincerely, “Even though you two may not be related by blood, I can still see that you treat

    Tina gasped in surprise, unable to believe her ears. “Really?!”“Yes, but we don’t know if you’re suitable for this job…”“I am! I can do anything! I’m serious!” Tina quickly promoted herself.“Alright, then. Please come over to the hotel as soon as you can. I’ve read your file. The hotel is located quite close to your home. It’s about ten minutes away.”Tina was stunned to hear the request. “The hotel? Now?”She looked outside, noticing the looming dark sky.“It’s still early, isn’t it? Don’t you know that we pull overtime shifts all the time in this company? It’s the norm here to dine with the clients and entertain them all the time. Can’t you even overcome this small challenge?” The voice from the other end of the line sounded displeased.Tina had been waiting for one long month. She couldn’t bear to miss out on this opportunity.After gritting her teeth, she finally replied, “I’ll be there. Give me ten minutes.”Only then was the caller satisfied with her behavior.“That’

    How many people in Freesia were referred to as Mr. Langford?Of course, there was only one person: Samuel Langford. He was the only reason why all the big bosses in the private room were gazing at the door expectantly right now.Tina didn’t want to bump into Samuel on this occasion. She wanted to use an excuse to slip out of the room. However, it was too late.Samuel’s silhouette appeared at the doorway. Tina hoped with all her might that he wouldn’t notice her, so she cowered right next to the vase in the corner of the room. However, she could still feel a pair of sharp eyes staring right at her back.Samuel took the main seat at the table. He emitted a regal aura no matter what he did. This was proven by the scene of everyone crowding around him and trying to please him.Tina felt quite unsettled. She snuck a look in Samuel’s direction, noting his neutral expression. Perhaps he didn’t even notice her at all.After a while, the atmosphere started to heat up. Mr. Gomez must have

    “Let go of me!” Tina started struggling valiantly against the men despite her fatigue.The passersby around them looked rather confused by the sudden scuffle. However, the men chastised them immediately. “What are you looking at? My girlfriend’s drunk, so now she’s gone crazy. I’m trying to take her home right now. Mind your own business!”It was true that Tina’s condition didn’t look good. The passersby were still confused, but they didn’t stop the men from taking her away.Just when Tina was about to be whisked away, a black luxury car blocked their way. The men originally thought that the car was just passing by, but they didn’t expect the door to be opened slowly.Immediately after that, a few bodyguards rushed out of the car swiftly and apprehended the hooligans on the spot. Groaning in pain while lying on the pavement, the hooligans started hurling insults at the bodyguards.“Where the f*ck did you guys come from? How dare you ruin our plans!”“Are you trying to be heroes b

    Tina no longer cared about Samuel’s opinion of her. She wiped her tears away while continuing to lament. “You might as well just kill me right now. Think of it as granting me a sweet release from this insufferable life! Since you hate me so much, you must be dreaming about this for a long time, right?”Samuel no longer spoke. Instead, he just stared at Tina coldly. The latter also returned the gaze steadily, waiting for his answer. The next thing she knew, she felt her feet leaving the ground. To her surprise, Samuel had scooped her into his arms.Tina was so surprised that she let out a shriek while wrapping her arms around Samuel’s neck. “Put me down! Where are you taking me?!”“I thought you weren't scared of death. Why are you scared of this?” Samuel mocked with a cold chuckle.He threw Tina carelessly onto the backseat and drove away. Several minutes later, Tina was stunned to recognize the surroundings when she looked out of the car window.“Isn’t this your house?”Didn’t S

    Samuel was surprised to hear the question. His sharp gaze landed on Tina’s form.“The Langford family had sealed the news. No one knows about this. How did you find out?” he demanded harshly.Guilt gnawed at Tina’s heart. There was no way she could tell Samuel that she had heard everything from under the table.“Of course, I didn’t eavesdrop on you! That was because… because I was…”Under Samuel’s cold gaze, Tina started stammering in panic. Before she could finish her sentence, the former’s phone started ringing again.“Samuel…” A sickeningly sweet voice blared from the phone’s speaker at that moment.Tina shivered the moment she heard the voice. She quickly recognized the owner of the voice.That was Cindy!Samuel didn’t notice Tina going stiff all of a sudden. He rose to his feet and picked up his phone.“Samuel, I heard that you just attended a gathering. You must have drunk a lot, right? I’m very worried about your health, so I made some hangover soup for you…”Samuel tu

    Tina didn’t want to pay Cindy any attention at first, but it was impossible for the latter to ignore the opportunity to mock her.“Hey, Tina! You couldn’t find any jobs lately, right? Don’t you want to know who’s the one who made your life hell?” she jeered again.“You were the one behind this?!” Tina replied angrily.“That’s right. It was me!” Cindy admitted frankly, without the intention to hide that fact.Tina was so furious, she balled her fists. She roared, “Aren’t you afraid that I might tell Samuel everything you did?”“By all means, go ahead! Do you think Samuel will believe in what you say to him?” Cindy replied, still speaking in the same mocking tone. Her smug demeanor made it obvious that she feared nothing.That sentence pricked Tina’s heart greatly. Cindy was right. Samuel had always trusted Cindy all this time, so why would he believe Tina? He would most likely think that she was framing Cindy again.“I understand everything now. I’m the woman that Samuel trusts t

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

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

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
