Not long ago after discovering Tina’s identity, Samuel quickly dispatched his men to capture Frederick and take away Kara by force.As Samuel’s underlings, the bodyguards were highly trained and had killed countless people who had provoked him in the past.However, this was their first time targeting a five-year-old girl.Furthermore, that girl’s mother had a special identity. As such, they had no idea how to deal with Kara. Hence, they decided to ask Samuel about their next course of action.Upon hearing his subordinate’s question, Samuel frowned instinctively. The little girl’s face subconsciously appeared in his mind.Keith was five years old as well, but he didn’t act like a typical child. Aside from the cold and aloof personality he had inherited from Samuel, he was also a genius with an extraordinarily high IQ, making him a miniature adult despite his young age.However, Kara was a normal five-year-old girl.She was naïve and innocent, but she had also inherited Tina’s stu
Before the bodyguards could react to what just happened, Samuel had already thrown the documents onto his desk angrily.“All of you, get lost!”The subordinates fled out of the study immediately and shut the door behind them.All of them looked at each other, raw terror written all over their faces.“Did you see what happened just now?”“No!”“It’s a good thing we didn’t see anything! If we did, we’d be forced to gauge our own eyes out….”The memory of Samuel’s enraged expression and bloodthirsty gaze drilled fear into the subordinates’ hearts.Back in the study, the floor was scattered with documents Samuel had thrown in a fit of rage earlier.He stared down at Tina, who kept shivering in fear, before spitting out in disgust, “You can’t even wear your own clothes properly. You disgust me!”But Kara’s disappearance hurt Tina’s heart more than Samuel’s scathing words.“I can’t live without Kara! Samuel, I’m begging you! Please… Can you please not send her away?”Seeing as Ti
Tina hid in the bathroom and scrubbed her body ferociously.The memory of what transpired earlier made her stomach churn in discomfort. All she felt at that time was the urge to puke.However, she knew better than anyone that Samuel’s torment for her wouldn’t stop anytime soon.After he left the study earlier, she could hear his conversation with his subordinate clearly.Kara wouldn’t be sent away for now, but her chances of meeting Kara all depended on her future performance, which meant she would have to continue enduring Samuel’s inhumane torment.Everything left Tina feeling so exhausted. She didn’t eat or drink at all since the start of that night’s banquet.After soaking in the hot water for a short while, she stumbled her way out of the bathroom. Spots of darkness eventually covered her vision to the point that she almost fell unconscious on the spot.Tina wanted nothing more than to lie down and rest, but a servant barged into her room the moment she let her guard down.
Tina waited anxiously for her turn.After a long wait, her turn finally arrived.The doctor was visibly stunned the moment he saw her condition. He initially thought that she was being abused, which was indeed the case.However, Tina could never tell him the truth due to complicated reasons.After checking her over, the doctor issued some medicine that could treat her injuries and gave her some advice.“Treat yourself with this medicine once you get home. You have to take note that you shouldn’t… Ahem! You shouldn’t go overboard in the next few days… Ahem! Tell your husband to be more considerate of your health and ask him to cooperate with you.”A bitter smile graced Tina’s face.Unfortunately, Samuel was never her husband to begin with. How could he ever care about her? The reason she was still alive right now was because he intended to continue torturing her. Otherwise, she would’ve been dead by now.After applying the medicine to her injuries, Tina finally felt slightly bet
Under normal circumstances, the secretary wouldn’t dare to enter when she heard the old man losing his temper.Upon hearing his grumbles, however, an idea suddenly popped into her mind. She flung the door open and strode into the ward.“Sir, I just saw that woman! The one who was with Mr. Langford last night!”That old man looked very haggard in the ward. Last night, he had his eye on the woman next to Mr. Langford. She was dressed like a slut, so it was obvious that she had no self-respect.However, her temperament was calm and innocent. She was different than the usual wh*res that were offered to him.Thus, he stalked that woman immediately after Mr. Langford chased her out of the private room. He wanted to have his way with that woman before requesting Mr. Langford to give her to him.Unexpectedly, someone kicked him at that critical moment.Before he could figure out the identity of the mysterious assailant, he passed out on the floor.Once he regained consciousness, he dis
For a moment, Tina was surprised.This phone was given to her by Samuel just this morning.Even her SIM card was brand new. Who would be calling her number at a time like this?Tina glanced at the screen, quickly realizing that Frederick wasn’t the one calling her. Instead, it was an unknown number.But before she could pick up the call, two tall figures suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth.Tina never realized that someone would still dare to make a move on her under broad daylight.She passed out, not having the strength to struggle against them. As she collapsed to the floor in a dead heap, the phone that she was carrying slid out of her hand.The bodyguards that were dispatched to capture her had already studied her face beforehand, so they were able to determine her identity immediately.“She’s the woman Mr. Langford brought with him last night, right?”“Yes. That’s right. She’s the one. Take her away!”After Tina was taken away, the unknown number called h
Alice the secretary couldn’t help but cover her mouth when she heard Tina’s question, a smug smile curled on her lips.“Oh, wow! Don’t you know what we’re planning to do even after things have progressed to this point?”Tina’s head felt terribly heavy. She was under extreme discomfort, as if her limbs were filled with lead.She managed to lift her head to see not only the secretary, but also a figure lying on a hospital bed near her.It was the same old man who tried to molest her in the bathroom last night, only to get knocked out by a kick from Samuel.Unexpectedly, that old man refused to give up. Instead, he had ordered his men to capture her.Bandages were wrapped around the old man’s head. He took in Tina’s pale and weak appearance before saying arrogantly, “If it wasn’t for you last night, my deal with the Langford Group would’ve gone through without a hitch! Thanks to you, I got injured and hospitalized! In the end, not only did I not get to sign the contract with Mr. Lan
Seeing Tina collapsing out of exhaustion, the bodyguards who caught up with her exclaimed smugly, “We got her now!”“Hahaha! Let’s see where else can you run to this time!”Just as the lead bodyguard tried to reach out to Tina in order and take her away by force…“Argh!”He immediately wailed in pain. Apparently, someone had kicked him away at that crucial moment.As a result, he slammed into the other bodyguards that were behind him.The men collapsed to the floor while screaming in pain, looking completely woebegone.“Who dares to kick us? Do you know who our boss is?! Are you trying to become a knight in shining armor just to save the damsel in distress?! You insufferable b*stard…”The leading bodyguard was so exasperated that he couldn’t stop himself from lifting his head to look at the assailant, intent to curse the air blue.The moment his gaze met the man’s icy one, though, his eyes widened in shock.“M-Mr. Langford! Why are you here?”The bodyguards were too shocked
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
