Tina clenched her fists in anger.She knew she had gotten on the bad side of the rich people of high society in Freesia.If she refused them today, she knew they would still come up with another way to torture her.What was more, it was true she was broke.Her reputation was in ruins to begin with. It didn’t matter if it got even worse now. She had nothing to lose, anyway.Tina didn’t show them the slightest of emotion as she picked up the ragged shirt.She looked into the women’s eyes, which were filled with excitement, and said, “Are you sure I can earn money like this? You’re not lying to me, right?”“Of course, we’re not. Everyone who frequents this nightclub is all rich. They won’t leave without tipping generously.”“That’s good,” Tina hugged the clothes and turned to leave.When she showed herself in the crowd, everyone shot her a condescending look. They sized her up and commented rudely among themselves.“Is she the one? She looks so plain! I don’t think she’s any dif
Fiona was furious. Her goal was to torture Tina and ensure Tina made a fool of herself.However, the tides had turned drastically! Her own fiance turned against her and protected that sl*t instead! Now, she had humiliated herself in front of everyone.“Frederick, you b*stard! How dare you protect her instead of me! At first, I didn’t want to make things too difficult for her, but now, I’ll kill her right here!”Having said that, Fiona rushed toward Tina like a maniac. She couldn’t wait to tear Tina’s pretty face into pieces.Only when Frederick dragged Fiona out of the lounge did the situation finally die down.The crowd lost their interest after the ensuing drama.“How did things turn out like this? How disappointing!”“I know, right? This is just disappointing.”The nightclub, which was booming with business at the beginning, lost its customers one by one, leaving nothing but a mess in the lounge.Tina closed her eyes.She prayed they would stop finding faults with her afte
Samuel shot her a penetrating glare, the hatred in his eyes evident.Only then did Tina realize she was still wearing the outfit from the nightclub.No wonder none of the taxis were willing to stop for her! Even the security guard wouldn’t let her inside the hospital.Her attire suggested that she was a prostitute trying to get customers!Tina didn’t know how to explain herself.The security guard was dumbfounded as well. Little did he know, the frivolous-looking woman was acquainted with Samuel!“Mr. Langford, can I know if…?” the guard stuttered.Samuel strode forward and ordered, “Make sure she changes into decent clothing before she’s allowed to enter the hospital!”Tina gritted her teeth. He was right. She shouldn’t visit Madam Langford in that attire.She ran to the shops nearby and bought some decent clothes. Finally, she was allowed inside the hospital ward.In the ward, the doctor was having a serious discussion with Samuel.“Madam Langford’s illness has a very high
After Cindy threatened Tina out of the manor that very same night, she bribed one of the maids to change Madam Langford’s prescription to induce a sudden relapse. That way, she could blame everything that happened to Tina.Now, it was evident that her goals had been met.Cindy tried to add fuel to fire and pretended to ask worriedly, “Samuel… Normally, Miss Lynd won’t leave the manor late at night. Why did Grandma’s condition get worse the moment she left? Something must’ve happened today. Sandy, run an investigation and figure out what Miss Lynd was up to just now.”Sandy looked at Samuel. Since Samuel didn’t voice anything, his silence meant consent.After a few minutes, Sandy, who looked shocked, presented his findings to Samuel.It was a video.Tina was at a nightclub, barely wearing anything.Around her was a group of men glowering at her with lustful eyes.What happened next was Frederick dragging her to leave, followed by Fiona’s appearance and her fight with Tina.Cind
Tina, meanwhile, had been dragged to the underground cell.The cell was cold and damp. After struggling to sleep for the entire night, her legs were constantly cramping.What was more alarming was that she felt pain in her stomach as well. As of now, she didn’t know if she was suffering from gastric issues, or her baby’s life was in jeopardy.Thinking about her baby’s safety, Tina was terrified.Last time, she almost lost her baby. Would she be going through the pain of almost losing her baby again?No! She wouldn’t let that happen!Right at this moment, Tina heard footsteps from afar.Soon after, the sound of the lock being opened sounded from just outside.“Miss Young, you’re here!”When Tina heard the people outside chattering, her face turned inexplicably pale.As expected, Cindy appeared just outside her cell. She covered her nose and said with disgust, “Ugh! Every time I meet you, Tina, your situation is worse than the last!”“What are you here for?” Tina covered her s
Tina changed into a maid’s uniform, and was promptly forced to sweep the backyard.The backyard was a beautiful place, with flower petals scattered everywhere. However, the maids dreaded cleaning that area because there was just no ending to the falling petals.Now, the maids had assigned Tina the hardest job.Tina asked around for Madam Langford’s condition. When she heard that her condition had stabilized, she heaved a sigh of relief.While she was sweeping the ground, the maids’ voice echoed from afar.“Mr. Langford’s back!”Tina froze. Then, she saw a car slowing down at the entrance.Soon after, Samuel got out of the car and glared hatefully at Tina with his eagle-like eyes.Tina jumped in shock. She thought Samuel was going to punish her again, but he averted his gaze.Then, he spoke in a gentle and caring tone that Tina never heard of before, “Cindy, we’re here. Let’s go.”Holding on to Samuel’s hand, Cindy smiled brightly.It was as if they were reliving the scene at
Tina raised her head and looked at Samuel.For some reason, she was secretly looking forward to Samuel’s response.Mrs. Langford’s face dropped instantly.“Samuel, do you feel bad for this lowly woman?” she seethed. “Remember what she’s done to you!”“She’s been having so many affairs with men, and yet your grandmother still chooses to believe her! Look at what happened to your grandmother now! She’s in a coma in the hospital!”“What’s more, Cindy is the one who’s pregnant with your child! Are you really going to choose that sl*t over Cindy?”Cindy didn’t utter a word as she caressed her flat stomach, putting on a sad expression as she did so.“Samuel, please…”Samuel wasn’t oblivious to the situation. He looked at Tina, who was standing from afar.Tina looked so thin and vulnerable in that oversized uniform… However, Samuel couldn’t let his emotions overcome his rational mind. He still remembered everything Tina had done to his family.As such, he revealed a sinister smi
“Who says we’re being unreasonable? This is just karma eating back at you! Who told you to get on Mrs. Langford’s bad side? You’re lucky you’re still alive right now!”“She’s right! Clean up everything in the kitchen. If you don’t, you’ll have to starve!”“She can just eat the garbage!”They left, laughing all the way. To make things worse, they even took away Tina’s cleaning tools, forcing her to pick up the trash one by one with her hand.Tina heaved in a big breath and bent down to do the chores.If it wasn’t for her, Madam Langford’s condition wouldn’t have grown worse. She had to wait for the old lady to wake up from her coma.Right as Tina was picking up the shards, someone stepped hard on the back of her hand.Caught unaware, the shards penetrated Tina’s skin and blood flowed out of her palms. Pain stabbed at her palms. The agony was so excruciating that Tina couldn’t even make out a sound. What followed was Cindy’s apologetic voice.“Oh, no! I’m so sorry for accidenta
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
