Samuel couldn’t bother to reply to Cindy and ended the call.“Did you do that on purpose?”But Tina didn’t feel like answering.After settling down, she finally got to eat the porridge that she had previously prepared.But as the porridge had been sitting out for too long, it had turned cold. Samuel hadn’t eaten Tina’s cooking for quite some time, and he subconsciously missed it.However, the first taste gave Samuel a shock, and his face twisted into an ugly expression.“Tina, how much salt did you put in here?”A lot of salt, of course.Since she couldn’t poison this man, Tina decided she would torture him with ridiculously salty food.Obviously, she wouldn’t dare to admit that.“Really?” Tina answered with an innocent look. “Maybe my hand was shaking a little too much when I was seasoning the food.”Samuel took a quick glance at Tina. Her face was indeed pale.After some thought, he decided to let her off the hook.Just when Tina thought Samuel would storm away in ang
“Ah!” Tina didn’t expect it to hurt. She hissed angrily, “Why did you hit me?!”He was the one who wouldn’t allow her to leave, yet now, he was hitting her!He was just finding excuses to torture her.This demon!Samuel replied sarcastically, “Are you still going to pretend? Where did you learn all these seduction skills?”“I don’t understand what you’re saying!”Tina stood up angrily and left.“Come back here! Tina!”“Come back so that you can torture me? Am I that stupid?” Tina turned around, glaring at him.But Samuel’s voice turned deep from fury. “Leave? Try it!”Tina felt a rush of annoyance. “I’m just going to the toilet!”Samuel was obviously dissatisfied with the answer. He spat, “Be quick.”“Fine.” Tina ran to the toilet.In truth, she didn’t want to use the toilet. It was just an excuse.Tina squatted on the stairs and waited.Finally…Bang! Noises came from the dining hall.Tina clenched her fists in triumph and took a deep breath before making her way to t
Tina stepped on the brakes and left the mansion with fervent speed, eager to escape Samuel’s grasp.Meanwhile, Cindy was fueled with rage.How was this possible? There really was a woman trying to seduce her husband!Incensed, Cindy tried calling Samuel again.However, an automated message replied instead.“Sorry, the person you called is unavailable. Please try again later…”Bang!Cindy’s anger was through the roof. She proceeded to grab everything on the table and threw them to the floor, smashing them into bits.“You bit*h! You sl*t! How dare you seduce my husband!”“I’m gonna kill you! Ahhhh!!!”Unable to contain her anger, Cindy dialed another number.“Get your ass to Samuel’s mansion right now and find out who that woman is!”“I’m gonna find that bit*h and kill her!”Cindy blurted everything out without caring that a child of five was right next to her.She had lost her composure, and went on screaming venomous streams of curses non-stop. Her maniacal fury was baffl
However, Tina couldn’t find a reason behind her sudden unease. After a while, she came to assume that it was simply her worry for Kara.Finally, she reached her destination.Right when she got out of the car, a small figure dashed toward her.“Mommy!”Tina immediately hugged Kara tightly.“Kara! Are you alright?”She turned Kara around and looked at her daughter anxiously. After making sure that Kara was okay, Tina let out a sigh of relief.“Where have you been, Mommy? I thought you were kidnapped!” Kara asked worriedly.Tina bit her lower lip. “I had something to take care of, so I had to leave. I’m sorry…”“It’s fine as long as you’re back! Oh, right. Keith texted me this morning after he went back home.”“Really?”Tina was relieved to know that Keith was safe.But that wasn’t enough to ease her worries. She turned to Frederick. “Frederick, I might need you to take care of Kara for me…”“Tina, you…”Frederick stared at Tina with a complicated look. He was once a playb
Kara’s question almost broke Tina.Still, she patted Kara’s head with a strained smile.“I’m not sure either, but I’ll give you a call whenever I’m free. Okay?”“Alright. You promised!”Tina looked at Kara with a smile. When Kara left with Frederick, her tears finally broke free and streamed down her cheeks.She felt as if her heart had been torn into half. Her body had never felt this weak. It was as if a simple gust of the wind could blow her away with ease.Despite that, she couldn’t give up so easily.Tina took a deep breath and called her company.“What?! You’ll be gone for three months?”“Yes, I’m going back to my hometown so I might not be able to return during this period of time.”“Okay,” Tiffany responded. “Maybe by the time you’re back, I’d be a professional already!”“Alright, but remember to buy me a meal.”After settling her work affairs, Tina threw her phone away.When Tina first came to Paris, she was a nobody. She had to rely on Frederick for the past five
Tina was about to fall asleep, but the noise and movements outside her room woke her up instantly.“That thief is worth a lot!”“She isn’t the only one that’s worth a lot, right? That diamond ring…”“Oh my god! That’s a pigeon egg diamond ring! Even if we can’t catch her, we can still lead comfortable lives forever just by selling that ring!”The people outside kept gossiping loudly in excited tones.Tina might not be able to hear them clearly, but she still tensed up anxiously.What was going on outside? Did Samuel figure out her whereabouts?Right now, Tina resembled an easily frightened bird. She couldn’t help but feel paranoid whenever something happened around her.She opened her room door slowly, and noticed a small crowd conversing outside.“What happened?” she asked.However, everyone went quiet the moment they heard her question. The woman who argued with her yesterday noticed Tina’s disheveled appearance, and started mocking her relentlessly.“Oh? Aren’t you suppos
However, what Tina didn’t know was that the woman who had barged into her room ran to the corridor sneakily afterward. She started whispering with everyone else about something mysterious.“Are you sure? That’s impossible, right? There are no such things as coincidences in this world!”“Yeah! Did you maybe see it wrong?”The truth was that someone had read important news from the day’s newspapers. Samuel Langford, the CEO of the Langford Group, had issued a bounty with great rewards in hopes of tracking down a despicable thief.Apparently, that bold thief had stolen a pigeon egg diamond ring from him. Since it was a priceless piece of jewelry, anyone who could provide him with vital information that could allow him to retrieve the ring could walk away with a million dollars.Of course, the thief would not be spared. Anyone who managed to catch the thief would be rewarded four million dollars.Altogether, Samuel would be rewarding five million dollars for both the ring and the thi
Panic started taking over Tina’s senses, but she forced herself to calm down.“How is this related to me?”The woman outside her room purposefully said, “I was trying to tell you this earlier. Regardless if you’re the woman on this bounty or not, I advise you to leave this place immediately!”After that, silence ensued from outside the room. It seemed as though the woman had already left on her own.‘Was she really here to help me out? Did she barge into my room this morning just to tell me this?’Panicked thoughts started cluttering Tina’s mind.Even though the woman in the picture was completely different from how she looked right now, it was dangerous for her to remain in a place that was packed with people.She gritted her teeth and thought for a while. Then, she slowly opened her door.The next moment, a smug voice drifted into Tina’s ear.“Haha! I knew it!” The woman didn’t leave the vicinity at all. Her face showed up at the crack of the door instantly. “I knew that you
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
