Tina turned to run away, but Samuel caught her by the neck and gripped it tight.“You should’ve just drowned, Tina!”Samuel’s grip grew tighter, strangling her.After all her struggling in the water, Tina was too weak to fight back. Coupled with Samuel clenching her neck with a vice grip, her sight started to go dark.Before long, she lost consciousness completely.After who knows how long, Tina was awoken by a pain at her neck.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw someone in a white coat approaching her slowly. He seemed to be saying something…“Who knows when she’ll wake up.”“She’s very weak. I’m afraid she won’t be waking up soon. We better set up an IV drip…”Tina’s hearing was unclear. It was as if she was still at the bottom of the lake, while the speakers were on the shore. When she noticed the cold glint of a needle closing in on her, she blanched and instinctively pushed out a hand to shove it aside. “W-What are you doing?!”Because she had nearly drowned, Tina
The way out was just right there. The moment Tina’s path was blocked, her heart froze.Just then, the medical staff rushed from behind.“You’re still unwell, so don’t run about…”Now that they had caught up to Tina, they were about to take her away when they noticed the man standing there. They received such a great shock that they began to tremble. “Mr. Langford!”They hurriedly bowed their heads and carefully avoided Samuel’s gaze as they greeted him respectfully.The person blocking Tina’s way was none other than Samuel Langford.Before, Tina had been on her last leg. Now, she was thoroughly out of energy. She slumped limply into Samuel’s embrace.Samuel, unaffected, scooped her up roughly and said, “Lead the way.”The medical staff were all stunned by Samuel’s behavior.What was going on?Who was this woman that made Mr. Langford come here personally? He was carrying her too!It seemed not even Mrs. Langford received this kind of treatment.Only, none of them dared t
Samuel, however, ignored the groveling Tina.Instead, he threw the papers he was holding and told his assistants, “Go get that man and the child she gave birth to.”“Understood.” Terrified, Tina begged, “Please! You can’t!”She had been hiding the entire time. She couldn’t drag Frederick and Kara into this mess!Never did she think that her worst nightmare would come true!The door was closed and locked from the outside, leaving Tina sinking in helplessness. She turned around and looked at the man standing in front of her.“Mr. Langford, please! I’m the one you want! Don’t drag them into this! Please!”Samuel chuckled and repeated icily, “You’re the one I want?”Samuel’s response lit up hope within Tina.“Yes! You can do whatever you want with me! Even if it means killing me, I’ll gladly accept it. But Kara is innocent, and she’s only a child…”Samuel’s tone was full of sarcasm as he cut Tina off.“Really? Why should I care?”Tina felt her blood turn cold.“Did you rea
Tina almost drowned and received a terrible shock, so she had a high fever right after Samuel left.The fever had left her feeling groggy.Yet, what worried her most was Frederick and Kara.She must alert them before Samuel could find them!Just as the medical officers were about to leave, she held desperately onto their sleeves.“Can I borrow your phone for just a while?”All her belongings were dropped into the lake, and the same happened to her phone.Currently, Tina was fraught with panic.She knew how cruel Samuel could be. After all, he had no qualms about throwing both her and her newborn in the ocean five years ago.Now that Samuel had sent people to get them, who knew what he would do to them!The medical officers hesitated, just as Tina had expected. “Uh… Mr. Langford said that without his permission, you cannot contact anyone…”“Please!” Tina shouted desperately, begging repeatedly. “I just wish to know how my child is doing. Just one phone call, please? I just wa
“Why?” Samuel found her question to be the joke of the century. His tone grew sinister as he went on, “I told you that I’ll torture you. Have you forgotten that already?”“Tina! You need to run! You have to escape…!”Frederick’s voice could be heard from the phone. But before Tina could say anything, the call died there and then.No matter how many times Tina tried to redial, it was to no avail. Her number was blocked.Tina felt her entire body trembling.‘Samuel picked up the phone. He’s already got to Frederick!’‘That means…’‘Kara!’‘They’re in trouble!She rushed out of the room, “I want to see Mr. Langford! Bring me to him!”But the bodyguards were twice her size and pinned her down almost immediately.“Let me go!”“Mr. Langford had orders to keep you in the room.”Now that she knew both Frederick and Kara were in trouble, how could Tina sit still?She gritted her teeth and screamed fiercely, “If you insist, then I’ll kill myself in front of you right now! He defini
That stunned Tina.“Dinner? What dinner?”But the bodyguard ignored her question and replied curtly, “You’ll know.”However, that served to make Tina all the more anxious. Will Samuel really let her meet them if she behaved well?But Samuel hated her so much, so it definitely wouldn’t be easy…Tina had no choice but to attend the dinner.She clenched her fists in determination, knowing this was probably her only remaining ray of hope. If this was how Samuel wanted to torture her, then she would have to follow.“Mr. Langford will pick you up at night.”Tina was still feeling sick, especially after the events that had transpired that day.Yet, she dared not fall asleep and sat awake on bed, waiting anxiously for Samuel’s inevitable return. Finally…After waiting for quite some time, she heard the sound of cars.Cars were entering outside. Tina subconsciously stood up. Just as she predicted, the bodyguards soon opened the door. “Mr. Langford is here. You may go now.”Tin
Still puzzled, Tina asked, “Where are we going?”But Samuel wasn’t planning to answer.“If you want to see them, then get dressed now.”Tina’s already pale face went paler as she clutched the horrible dress. “H-Here?”“Where else?” Samuel glanced at her with an insulting sneer. “Why are you acting like a prude all of a sudden?”She had done everything with Frederick, to the point she had a daughter with him.How dare she act all coy and innocent now!“I…” Tina bit her lower lip in reluctance. Alas, she knew there was no hope in fighting back.Her face still ashen, she agreed weakly. “Okay, I will.”‘So this is how he is going to torture me.’Knowing well that Frederick and Kara’s fates depend on Samuel, Tina had no choice but to obey Samuel’s cruel whims.Tina unbuttoned her clothes with her trembling hands, trying hard to ignore the driver.As for Samuel, his face became more and more gloomy when he saw her doing so. He pressed a button, and the baffle rose.“You’re reall
Tina turned around, embarrassed beyond everything.The speaker turned out to be Raymond Cohen.He was gentle and friendly as always. Just a word from him, and the bodyguards let go of her immediately.Released from the guards’ capture, Tina quickly ran in Samuel’s direction.Not long after Samuel entered the private room, he saw Tina walking in, with Raymond following her at the back.“Mr. Cohen,” Samuel said in a low tone.Raymond frowned as he looked at Samuel and back to Tina. Hesitating slightly, he began, “You’re…”“Mr. Cohen. Like I said, this woman has offended me. She deserves this.”“I’m open to talk about work-related matters. Other than that, it’s none of your business.”Samuel’s tone and attitude were severe.Raymond was left with no option but to look at Tina with eyes of pity.All these years, countless women tried seducing Samuel. All of them died in silence.Yet, Tina was able to offend him again and again.Samuel might not notice this himself, but Tina def
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
