Once everyone knew that Tina was adopted by the Lynd family and wasn’t treated as an equal there, they assumed Tina stole the ring from Pearl out of jealousy.The Lynd family even hired a lawyer and a jewelry appraiser to make their story credible.After making sure the diamond cost millions, they were determined to make Tina pay for her crimes. They wanted Tina to rot in jail for ten years!“That’s not possible!” Tina retorted immediately. “That’s a fake diamond ring! The appraiser is lying!”Samuel did tell her that the ring was a fake!The jewelry appraiser was indignant. He snapped, “Miss Lynd, my family has been working in this line for generations. You shouldn’t doubt my skills. Just admit it! You stole the ring, didn’t you?”“Besides, I saw an auction on TV just a few days ago. It was an auction only the richest people in Freesia could attend. Given the short time frame, there’s not enough time for fakes to enter the market yet.”Pearl was elated. She wasted no time to sn
Pearl was elated when she saw Tina drooping her head in defeat.But when she saw the man at the door, her eyes widened in disbelief.“Oh my god! It’s Mr. Langford”Nobody expected Samuel Langford to show himself.He scanned the room and landed his gaze on Tina, who was sitting in the corner.He ignored everyone’s gazes and walked slowly towards Tina.“What exactly are you playing at now, Tina?” he interrogated as he towered over her.His voice was cold and emotionless.‘I’ve only been separated from her for a few days. What did she do this time? How annoying!’ he thought, furious.Tina was terrified. She didn’t expect Samuel to turn up at all.Samuel’s attitude towards Tina left Pearl as giddy as a child.Last time, Samuel almost murdered her entire family just to root out Tina’s location. That incident was still etched vividly in Pearl’s mind.‘Samuel must’ve heard about what Tina did. I’m sure he’s here to punish that b*tch!’ Pearl thought in glee.Pearl knew this was he
‘How could that be? Was Tina really telling the truth?’ Pearl was horrified.Samuel didn’t want to explain further. He swept his gaze at Tina, who was in a daze, and said, “What are you staring at? Let’s go.”“Alright.” Tina didn’t expect the situation to be resolved that easily. She stood up immediately.Samuel reminded her, “Take the ring with you.”Quickly, Tina bent down to pick up the ring on the ground.Samuel didn’t want to stay at this place any longer. He took his handkerchief out and wiped his hand.When he thought about Pearl’s nauseating perfume, he couldn’t help but retch in disgust. If she didn’t attempt to strike Tina earlier, he wouldn’t have grabbed that woman’s filthy arm.Samuel strode out, with Tina trailing from behind in small but quick steps.With her stomach throbbing in pain, she voiced, “Mr. Langford, can you walk slower?”However, Samuel didn’t listen to her.Anxious, she reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt.“Don’t touch me!” Samuel barked
Looking at Tina’s weak frame, Samuel’s heart went out to her.‘I don’t think she’s acting. She actually fainted!’ Without hesitation, Samul carried her in his arms and strode outside immediately.Sandy was still waiting at the door. When he saw Samuel walking out, he approached Samuel and said, “Mr. Langford, there are some matters at the company that…”However, Sandy didn’t expect Samuel to return with a woman in his arms.As it turned out, that woman was none other than Tina Lynd.Samuel appeared nervous. He ordered coldly, “Head to the hospital, now!”Sandy wouldn’t dare to disobey. He put matters of the company aside and rushed to the hospital.Along the way, he peeked at the rearview mirror to make sure everything was okay.Samuel didn’t even realize that he had been carrying Tina in his arms even after they got into the car. ‘I don’t think Mr. Langford has cared for anyone that much, especially not towards Cindy,’ Sandy thought. A bold assumption rose to his mind. ‘
Tina didn’t want to wait any longer.She didn’t have any valuables in her bag, but there was an extremely important photo inside it.If she lost the picture, she would lose the only clue she had.Tina didn’t even have time to inform the bodyguards as she left the hospital hurriedly.Right at this moment, the guards noticed something was amiss. They barged into the washroom, only to find women shouting at them.“Eww! Why are you all in the ladies’ bathroom?”“Pervert! Oh my god! Someone! There are two perverts in here!”After getting chased out of the washroom, the bodyguards finally realized their blunder.“Miss Lynd is gone! We have to find her right now!”Both Tina and the bodyguards soon left the hospital. After a while, the doctor entered the ward with a big smile on his face.“Congratulations! The reason Miss Lynd is so weak right now is because…”Before he could complete his sentence, he noticed that he was talking to an empty ward.“Weird, where did everyone go?”Ti
For a moment, Tina still clung to hope.Little did she know that Pearl had gotten rid of the necklace ages ago.The truth crushed Tina. Feeling dizzy, she wobbled unsteadily and gritted her teeth, “So you’re saying that everything you told me just now was a lie? You even dared to ask for 1.5 million from me!”Pearl unleashed the waterworks. “I-I was just fooling around with you! Besides, you don’t even have 1.5 million!”“If I remember correctly, I sold the necklace. If you really want it back, we can find it for you!”“What’s more, all these years, you would’ve been dead on the streets if it wasn’t for the Lynd family! Even though we haven’t done much, we’ve at least raised you until adulthood.”Tina was speechless at Pearl’s shameless words.“You what? Raised me? Pearl, don’t you remember? The first day I arrived at the Lynd family, you pushed me into the swimming pool and I nearly drowned. Blaming me for dirtying the swimming pool, Jonah and Ellen forced me to scrub it until
“Why are you calling me Mrs. Langford? You’re about to get married to Samuel! You should call me mother!”Cindy pretended to be embarrassed. She looked at Samuel and asked timidly, “Samuel?”Samuel knew she was hinting at him politely. Although he had a little bit of headache today, he rubbed his forehead and comforted Cindy.“Don’t worry, I promise I’ll marry you. You’re my only wife.”“I heard Madam Langford wanted to host a press conference about your marital status. By then, everyone in Freesia will know that Miss Lynd is your official wife instead of me.”“You’ll be attending the press conference with me,” Samuel said. “I’ve already informed the reporters. Tina will only be there as proof to Madam Langford. Only you will be introduced as my wife during the event.”‘That’s music to my ears!’ Cindy thought, giddy with happiness.Cindy was proud. When the time came, she’d definitely pay back what Tina did to her back then. She would slap that wench in the face ten times harder
Looking at the phone, Cindy was furious beyond anything.‘That sl*t is pregnant?! Samuel even brought her to the hospital himself! Has he figured out that the person he had sex with that night was Tina?’‘That’s impossible! If Samuel knows about this, he won’t treat Tina like she’s nothing, let alone recognize me as his official wife at the press conference. There’s only one explanation to this. He still doesn’t know!’Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. Very soon, the relief was gone as hatred and jealousy filled her mind.That fateful night, she planned out everything in detail just to make sure she would be pregnant with Samuel’s child. However, Tina took advantage of it all and took her place instead.Cindy must do something! She couldn’t let Tina give birth to the baby. Knowing Samuel, he would definitely give Tina a place in this household.Cindy must get rid of the baby in Tina’s womb as soon as possible!The next day, Cindy went to the hospital in disguise and took the medica
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
