Tina could clearly hear the bullet flying so close to her ear. It struck through the tree from afar, forming a huge hole in the sturdy bark. The near-death experience weakened her legs and forced her to slump onto the ground.Samuel raised her chin with the fuming gun, eyes cold.“Let this be a warning. It’ll be your head next time,” he said, every syllable dripping with malice.Trembling from head to toe, Tina now had first-hand experience in validating the rumours about Samuel in Freesia stating that he was a devil reincarnate.Samuel ignored her and continued to speak, hatred written all over his face. “I’ll never do anything that will anger Grandma. I’ll keep you alive just to make her happy. But you’ll never become my wife. A scheming woman like you doesn’t deserve such a prestigious status. If you're still thinking about achieving that goal, I’ll make sure you suffer a terrible fate.”The moment he said that, Sandy rushed over with a team of bodyguards. They came in a pani
The implication was obvious: Tina was a nobody.The co-worker who had spoken up for Tina earlier changed her demeanor instantly. “Why are you sitting here, then? Since you’re an intern, you should act like one! Go and print these materials for me. Don’t make things difficult for everybody.”Having said that, she dumped a huge pile of documents in front of Tina.“These, too.”“Tina, go and get me coffee.”“Since you have nothing important to do, deliver these items for me by courier!”Just like that, everyone was ordering Tina about and forcing her to run errands for them.Tina was exhausted. If she didn’t stop by to get herself some bread, she would’ve fainted from hunger.“What’s wrong with you?! I asked you to print out two copies for me, not one! Besides, you didn’t give me the document I requested before. I need that document for the meeting later! Are you trying to get me fired?”The woman shouted at Tina angrily as she threw all the printed documents on the floor.“Pi
‘Why are they all treating this woman like she’s some kind of god?’ Tina thought.“Alright, I’ll get on to it.”With just one glimpse, Tina noticed a woman in a white dress amongst the crowd.‘That’s probably Samuel’s potential girlfriend. She’s the one everyone’s referring to as Miss Young,’ Tina went on speculating.“Hello, Miss Young,” Tina greeted Cindy politely. Right after, she turned to the pantry to brew a pot of tea for Cindy.Cindy couldn’t believe her eyes. ‘Why is this b*tch here?!’Suppressing the urge to smack Tina in the face, Cindy went straight to Samuel’s office, only to be told that he wasn’t in yet.She sat in the resting lounge, unable to believe who she had just encountered.‘What on earth happened? I know that b*tch’s been pestering Samuel like a parasite, but for her to appear at the company? That’s just impossible!’ She hurriedly called the private investigator to ascertain what had happened. However, the private investigator was also in the dark abou
Cindy’s complexion turned pale upon the realization. She wobbled back and forth, struggling to stand still. The manager was shocked. She supported Cindy from falling and yelled, “Call the ambulance. We have to send Miss Young to the hospital! Call the police, too. Send this thief to the police station now!”Once again, Tina tried to explain herself. “I already told you! I didn’t steal the bracelet!”“Stop trying to defend yourself! You can talk to the police instead!”Today was truly an unlucky day for Tina. It was just one thing after another for her! After a long day suffering from unfair treatment, she ended up in the police station. She felt miserable.There were a lot of people in the police station. After she was detained, the officers made her wait on the long bench to await interrogation.Tina was fraught with worry, deeply anxious. Just then, her phone rang. A kind and gentle voice spoke through the receiver.“Tina, guess who am I?”After a whole day of pent-up frus
After Madam Langford gave that order, she hung up the phone decisively.Samuel frowned. “Where is Tina now?”Sandy was shocked. Did something happen to Miss Lynd?After making several phone calls to make sense of the situation, Sandy realized that Tina had been accused of theft the moment she started her first day of work. She even pulled Madam Langford into the mess!“Miss Lynd is at the police station right now. I’ll send someone…”Before Sandy could finish speaking, Samuel cut him off sternly, “I’ll head over there myself.”At the opposite end of the conference room, John raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is something the matter, Mr. Langford?”“I have some pressing matters to deal with at the moment. Let’s talk tomorrow.”He left the conference room in a hurry.Curious, John wondered to himself, ‘I wonder what stirred Samuel up. Judging from their conversation just now, it seems like it’s about a woman. I thought Samuel isn’t the type to get involved in matters pertaining to
Deep down, Tina was moved and grateful towards Madam Langford’s kindness. It only took one meeting for the old lady to be so emotionally invested in Tina.When they arrived at the hospital ward, Madam Langford was already waiting anxiously for their arrival. She held Tina’s hand and caressed them gently, concern in her gaze.“Are you okay? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”“Don’t worry, Mrs. Langford, I’m alright,” Tina joked. “I saw a fight on the road, so the police wanted me to make a statement at the police station. I didn’t tell you on the phone because I didn’t want you to worry.”“Are you telling me the truth?” Madam Langford found it difficult to believe Tina’s story. She threw a skeptical glance at Samuel and pursed her lips. “Did he make things difficult for you in any way? Tell me everything!”“I’m telling the truth. Look, there are no injuries on me at all!”Tina ws lying. She wanted Madam Langford to have peace of mind, so the truth couldn’t be divulged.“Since I’
Samuel didn’t say anything, and got out of the car in silence.Tina trailed from behind and asked carefully, “Mr. Langford, should I take a taxi back home?”Samuel snarled coldly, “From now onwards, you’ll be living together with me. We’ll be going to the company together early in the morning.”Then, he left without giving her any further explanation.Tina was left dumbfounded at the sudden news. ‘Is he for real?! Am I actually living with him? What did I do to him? Is this his way of taking revenge?’ She was in despair. Even though she deeply hated the idea, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him.In a car stationed afar, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.“I heard Mr. Langford has never allowed women to live in his private quarters, Mr. Carter. It seems this woman is an exception.”The speaker was a scruffy-looking man none other than Mr. Jackson, the person Tina had bumped into while sending food at the nightclub.John thought about the incident and mutter
“You thief! How dare you come back here after what you’ve done?”“She’s so shameless! She’s even late for work!”Her colleagues gossiped non-stop without any reservations. Too lazy to explain herself, Tina ignored them and went to her post.“Why isn’t she giving us any reaction? God, she really is shameless!”Seeing that Tina was unfazed, they stopped and started ordering her around.“Tina, you still haven’t printed the copies from yesterday! Stop lazing around and start working!”“Get me a cup of tea now!”Tina did as told without complaining. During lunch break, the manager walked into the office and made an announcement. “Everyone, Mr. Carter’s arriving later. Be prepared to welcome him!”“What? Did you hear that? Mr. Carter’s coming! I’ll be the one sending refreshments into the office later. This is my only chance to be with him!”“What are you getting so worked up for? You sound so desperate!”“Mr. Carter is almost as handsome as Mr. Langford. He’s very mild-mannered, t
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
