Tina’s heart felt like it was squeezed by an invisible hand.She had just relaxed for two days before being forced to face the inevitable…“Can you please wait for a moment?” she asked pleadingly. “Samuel promised me two days, but today is only the second day. I want to spend more time with my daughter. I don’t want her to leave me so soon…”The subordinates were very conflicted.“Miss Lynd, it’s not that we don’t want you to spend more time with your daughter. Rather, it’s mainly…”Tina understood that it was Samuel’s order that led them here.“Is he in the car?” she asked tentatively.“Yes. Mr. Langford is there.”Tina balled her fists tightly. “I… I’ll go plead to him.”Perhaps it was due to that day’s incident that Samuel decided to take Kara away in advance.The subordinates exchanged glances with each other. Typically speaking, Samuel’s orders were not to be defied. However…The woman named Tina Lynd was clearly an exception.As they weren’t bold enough to stop her,
Tina was shocked the moment she heard Samuel’s words.“What?”She originally thought that Samuel ordered his men to take Kara away just to get revenge on her, but she didn’t expect that…It was because of school!“Hurry up and bring your daughter here!” Samuel ordered coldly. “If you keep wasting my time, she can forget about going to school!”Tina finally realized that she had misunderstood Samuel. His frightening gaze made her shiver involuntarily.“I-I’ll bring her over right now!”A few minutes later, Tina came back with a bleary-eyed Kara in her arms. She sat on the backseat with Kara on her lap.She had just sat down and was about to put on the seatbelt when Samuel ordered, “Go now.”The driver didn’t hesitate to put his foot on the gas pedal, thus navigating the car to the front.Tina’s form shook violently from the inertia.It was fine if she were to fall in the car, but the point was, Kara might get hurt in the process.With one arm closed around Kara’s waist tight
Horrified, Tina froze.Kara’s uncle was none other than Frederick Jackson.Tina hadn’t seen him at all ever since Samuel found out about her identity.“I’m quite busy these days. Her uncle couldn’t make it because he also has other things on his end. It’s too bad, but we won’t be able to attend the event.”Tina’s mind was preoccupied as she wandered away from the kindergarten like a lost sheep.Kara’s life was not in jeopardy at the moment. But when the kindergarten teacher mentioned Frederick, she couldn’t help but worry.‘Is Frederick alright?’‘What if Samuel did something awful to him?’ she thought, her fear growing every second.She walked out of the gate with her head lowered in defeat, but her way was barred by a tall figure.She bumped straight into the person’s chest. Heaving in the putrid stench of tobacco, a startled Tina was forced to look up.As expected, Samuel was looking down at her. His eyes were filled with repulsion. “What are dilly-dallying for?! Get in
What Samuel just did made everyone’s jaw drop.Did they imagine it?What on earth happened to Mr. Langford today?Facing everyone’s horrified stares, Tina desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.She hurriedly followed Samuel to the lift, not daring to say anything further.Ding!The door of the lift opened, with the president’s office just right in front of them. When the personal assistant saw Samuel , she stood up and greeted him respectfully.“Greetings, Mr. Langford.”The personal assistant noticed Tina behind him, and was shocked as well.Without deigning to explain any further, Samuel said curtly, “From now on, she will be my secretary.”Then, he left Tina behind and walked into his office.Facing the personal assistant’s questioning look, Tina was beyond embarrassed. However, she was the first to break the silence.“Hello, I’m new here. You can call me Linda.”“Can I know what I should do here?”“Umm…” The assistant wasn’t sure either.After all, she had
When Cindy saw Samuel, her features softened immediately. “Samuel, you haven’t been home for a few days! I’m very worried about you,” she said with a tone of great concern. “That’s why I came here. I wanted to see how you’re doing.”Seeing that Cindy was literally begging for his attention, Samuel didn’t want to make things difficult for her. He shot back coldly, “Now that you’ve seen that I’m doing well, you can go back.”“Samuel, I-I’m here to remind you of something!”Cindy continued nervously, “Have you forgotten that today’s your birthday? It’s the day we met, too!”“I’ve never bothered you for anything because I know that you’re a busy man, but can we please celebrate the occasion today? Please just fulfill my only wish!”“Keith will be coming along as well! It’s been so long since the three of us spent time together!”“Samuel, please! I beg of you…”Her request wasn’t over the top.Samuel’s brows knitted gradually.Noticing that, Cindy was quick to coax Samuel even mo
The moment Cindy saw Tina, her eyes went wide in utter disbelief.“Ahhhhhh!” Cindy yelled, all composure lost. She was so terrified that she turned to run away, but her legs gave out as she fell and landed face down on the hard floor.The dumbfounded personal assistant approached and helped Cindy up.“Mrs. Langford, are you okay?”“I just saw a ghost!” Cindy said fearfully, pointing at Tina.To avoid unnecessary problems, Tina hid news about her survival from Cindy.However, Tina found Cindy’s horror-stricken expression oddly amusing.After all, Cindy was the wicked and heartless demon who had almost succeeded in murdering Tina.Yet, now? Was this woman truly fearful of the fact that Tina would haunt her as a ghost after death?Looking at Cindy’s shaky finger, Tina said with a calm tone, “Mrs. Langford, I think you’ve seen it wrongly. I’m not a ghost. I’m Mr. Langford’s secretary now.”“Mrs. Langford, this person is the new secretary. Her name is Linda,” the personal assistan
“You d*mn sl*t! Just wait!” Cindy screeched maliciously. “I’ll let you see what I can do!”“Bring it on! It’s not like I’m leaving anytime soon!”Tina stared after Cindy’s retreating back and turned to leave.Right at this moment, she noticed that Samuel was standing not far away from her.Exactly how long had he been watching? Tina couldn’t help but shudder at his grim glare.She thought Samuel would explode in anger for what she did just now, but to her surprise, he didn’t utter a single word.Her heart hammering against her chest, Tina was sure that Samuel had witnessed the way she treated Cindy just now. He would never let her off the hook for treating his loving wife with such disrespect!She clenched her fists. Before Samuel could say anything, she broke the silence, “I’m sure you’ve seen what happened just now. How do you want to punish me?”“Punish you? Why do I have to do that?” he asked with a hoarse voice.Tina gulped, anxious.What did he mean by why? She just s
Cindy dialed a certain number.After her call went through, a man’s cold and emotionless tone rang through the receiver.“I’m in a meeting right now.”Said speaker hung up the phone almost instantaneously.If it was the past, Cindy wouldn’t have gone against Samuel when he showed her an attitude.But this time, she couldn’t let it slide.Tina’s appearance posed too much of a threat to her!Unwilling to give up, she called Samuel again and again until he finally decided to pick up the phone.“Cindy Young!”His tone was stern, laced with a hint of hostility. It was obvious that he was warning her to know her place.Cindy burst into tears instantly in an attempt to curry his favor. “Samuel, I know I shouldn’t disturb you while you’re in a meeting, but I’m too worried!”“I understand that men are not loyal creatures. I won’t dare to say anything if you fall in love with other women, but why does it have to be Tina Lynd?”“She almost killed me just now! What if she actually ki
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
