Tina knew Cindy was deliberately tormenting her, so she slowly sank to her knees.“Miss Young, you’re a generous and kind-hearted woman. Please spare my life.”Ever since John Carter exposed Cindy’s true colors, she had been leading her life in constant paranoia and fear. The sight of Tina begging for mercy on her knees satisfied Cindy to no end.“Now, grovel to me! Keep groveling until I’m satisfied!” Cindy commanded smugly.Tina gripped the hem of her shirt without moving, which irked Cindy.“Oh? Are you planning to fight back?”“Miss Young. I’m willing to grovel to you, but tomorrow’s the press conference. I still have to take a picture for Grandma…”Cindy had no choice but to dispel that thought when she heard the reason. No matter how much she wanted to punish Tina, she knew that now was not the time.“That’s true. I know you don’t dare to tattle on me to that old b*tch, but if she were to notice that something’s amiss, it’ll be bad for me. You got lucky today, Tina! I’ll
Dressed in a suit, Samuel looked every inch like a regal king.The moment he appeared, everyone could only submit to him.He didn’t mind the lights flashing and flickering around him. Spinning gracefully on his heel, he extended a hand to the person inside the car.That scene excited the media immediately.“Oh my god! Is there someone else in Mr. Langford’s car?”“Could the rumors be real? Does Mr. Langford intend to announce the identity of the woman he’s marrying in the press conference?”Cindy emerged from the car under everyone’s expected gaze. Clad in a white, long, fancy gown, she took Samuel’s hand shyly. The pair looked like newlyweds who appeared on the red carpet.At that moment, the rumors of Mrs. Langford being another woman were instantly dispelled.It was evident that Cindy Young was the real Mrs. Langford.Tina stared at the couple standing under the limelight. Samuel was tall and handsome, whereas Cindy leaned against him shyly like a submissive woman who neede
Tina looked at the business card in her hands.Not only did Mr. Cohen look like a gentleman, but he also had a nice name. His full name was Raymond Cohen.Since the Langfords were involved in the abduction case that happened ten years ago, most of the information regarding that case had been sealed from the public. Not even John, who wanted to help Tina investigate her background, could dig out much information regarding that case.As for Tina, she couldn’t remember her childhood at all. The only clue she had was that picture and the necklace Pearl had sold.Should she ask Mr. Cohen for more information? What if she could locate a clue or two based on their interactions?With these concerns in mind, Tina saved the phone number and the address on the business card into her phone. She planned to visit Mr. Cohen some time after the press conference was over.She walked out of the venue, feeling the cold, biting wind whipping against her form. She couldn’t help but tighten the clothe
Tina never expected to see Samuel calling her.Complicated emotions surged in her heart as she picked up the call. “Hello?” she asked in an attempt to gauge Samuel’s mood. However, nothing came out from the other end of the line.Could it be that he had mistakenly called her?Tina felt quite confused, but just then, Samuel’s cold voice drifted from her speaker.“Where are you?”“I’m outside right now.”Before Tina could finish her sentence, Samuel cut her off coldly and said, “Go to the hotel. I’ll have someone send you back to the manor tomorrow.”“Which hotel?” Tina asked again.Cindy’s voice rang from the other end of the line at that moment.“Samuel, I felt that I was in an amazing dream when we were in the press conference earlier! I felt like a princess in your arms. Everyone else was giving us their heartfelt blessings. To be honest, I don’t feel like waking up at all…”Cindy’s tone was joyous and dreamy. It seemed as though she had realized something, because she ad
Tina even went to the kitchen to check out the situation there. The fridge’s contents were incredibly messy as well. She noticed a few tomatoes, a block of cheese, and a few containers of leftover spaghetti inside.“Why don’t you throw them away?” Frederick asked after taking a look at the ingredients.Tina shook her head. “That’s too wasteful. Besides, I can whip up a quick pasta dish if you want.”“Huh? Are these even edible?” Frederick looked slightly suspicious of the ingredients. “Why don’t I just order takeout?”Tina was very confident in her culinary skills. “Just you wait!”At first, Frederick intended to help her out in the kitchen in order to demonstrate his skills in being a househusband, but he kept screwing everything up. Tina had to chase him out of the kitchen, swinging a large kitchen knife threateningly.About ten minutes later, Tina was done making the pasta dish.Not only did it look appetizing, but it was also as tasty as the dishes made by the renowned chefs
Lord Jackson kept humiliating Tina with his words.“You’ve committed so many evil deeds! Aren’t you afraid of them biting you back when you least expect them? Your children will definitely suffer because of you!”Tina put down the dishes immediately upon hearing the last sentence.She did owe Frederick her life, and she also felt very guilty for what he had to go through. That was why she would endure whatever Lord Jackson hurled at her.But this old man involved her unborn baby, which was way over the line. She could never tolerate that.“Lord Jackson, you spout such vile words despite your age. Shouldn’t you be the one worrying about the repercussions that your words bring?”“How dare you talk back to me!” Lord Jackson was enraged after hearing Tina’s reply.“You already called me a vile and manipulative vixen, didn’t you? Why shouldn’t I talk back?” she retorted sassily.Then, she started chuckling coldly before continuing, “Also, your precious grandson is the one sticking a
If it wasn’t for the baby in her stomach, Tina wouldn’t have been able to make it this far.Just as she was about to leave this area, a strong hand gripped her wrist. Scared out of her wits, Tina was about to raise her weapon to defend herself. “Who…?”“It’s me.” A familiar voice rang at that instant.Tina spaced out for a brief moment. As a result, her armed hand was quickly restrained.“Tina, what the hell are you doing? Are you trying to kill your husband?” Samuel snarled coldly.Even though she was gazing at the cold and handsome face, Tina still felt as if she was dreaming.“Samuel? Why are you here?” she couldn’t help but ask, confused.“Can’t I be here?” Samuel frowned before retorting.Tina was starting to suspect that the man in front of her wasn’t the real Samuel. “Shouldn’t you be at the banquet?” she pointed out.Today’s press conference was a grand event. Almost all of the mass media in Freesia was present. There would be many guests attending the banquet at nig
The line of pregnant women waiting for their prenatal check-ups in the hospital was very long. After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally Tina’s turn.“Doctor, how’s my baby?”She felt slightly nervous while waiting for the doctor’s reply. After all, her pregnancy came so suddenly that she almost suffered from a miscarriage due to her negligence. Even though she had been taking her prenatal medicine as instructed by the doctor in order to recover properly, she couldn’t help but feel anxious as she waited for the doctor’s reply. It was in her nature to worry for her unborn baby’s safety.“Your baby is two months old right now. Its heartbeat is fine, so it’s doing all right in terms of growth.”Tina burst into happy tears when she heard the doctor’s reply. She couldn’t help but caress her stomach lovingly. Everything would be alright as long as her baby was doing well.“However, you still have to pay attention to your health. You need to make sure you’re eating nutritio
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
