Tina was horrified. Why would someone sprint to the middle of the road all of a sudden?Fortunately, she managed to slam on the car brakes in the nick of the time.Hiss!The ear-splitting metallic screeching voice was accompanied by a shrill scream of a woman.“Ahhhhh!”Samuel’s eyes snapped open immediately,“Tina!” he berated angrily. “What the hell happened?”Tina was in a daze.“There’s someone in front of the car! I’ll check it out.”The moment she got out of the car, the first person she saw was Cindy.Cindy didn’t waste a single second as she rushed toward Tina and gave Tina a painful slap to the face.“Tina, you heartless woman! Why do you have to do this to me?! Why do you have to knock down my child?” Tina was dumbfounded.“What child?”Immediately, Cindy rushed to the front of the car and embraced the child who had fallen to the ground. Tears sprang into her eyes and she sobbed uncontrollably, “Keith, are you okay? Keith!”The person Tina almost ran over turn
Tina was beyond terrified. It wasn’t her intention to hurt Keith at all.She didn’t expect her accidental actions might affect Kara as well.Still trying to register what had happened, she didn’t know how she got back home.The lights in the villa were brightly lit. Not only the guards, but even the maids had woken up to clean up the place to welcome Samuel back.The moment they saw Tina, the maids approached her excitedly.“Miss Lynd, you…you’re back! What happened to your face?”Soon, many of the staff noticed Tina’s awkward appearance.Her clothes were wrinkled and dirty, with black patches on them. It was as though she had rolled around in mud. What was more terrifying was that half of her face was swollen. Only when the maids pointed that out did she feel the stabbing pain on her cheek.However, she was more worried about Keith’s safety and Kara’s frightening fate.“Miss Lynd, what happened? Where’s Mr. Langford? I thought you said you went to pick him up.”Almost ev
Tina wanted to know Samuel’s current location through his bodyguards. She got up immediately and approached the guards working outside the villa. She asked anxiously, “Do you know which hospital Mr. Langford is at right now?”The guard replied coldly, “Miss Lynd, we can’t disclose Mr. Langford’s whereabouts. It is confidential information.”“But I have something important to ask him…”“Miss Lynd, we’re all aware of what happened last night. You almost knocked into Young Master Keith with the car! Mr. Langford will never forgive you for that! My advice for you is to stay put and stop getting on his nerves.”The guards, who had been nice and patient with her before, had changed their attitude entirely. Their eyes even reflected pity for Tina.At first, they thought Tina was different. Alas, she turned out to be a complete idiot!She wasn’t only seen harassing Mrs. Langford in the company, but she also almost killed Young Master Keith yesterday. Putting Keith’s life in jeopardy al
“You d*mned woman! How dare you show up here!” Cindy was boiling in anger.“I’m only here to check up on Keith…”“You’re here to murder my son! Guards! Guards, take this woman away right now!”Cindy raised her voice and grabbed Tina’s arm in a vice grip. It was as if she was deliberately making a scene.When Samuel entered the ward, he saw the women tugging at each other.“Tina! How dare you show up here!” he shouted harshly, his eyes reflecting menace.“I…”Without an ounce of hesitation, Samuel instructed the guard behind him, “Take her away right now!”“Yes, sir!”This time, the guard didn’t think twice before throwing Tina out of the hospital.Looking at Tina’s sorry state, Cindy exploded in joy.However, she still continued her pitiful act and threw herself into Samuel’s arms.“Oh, Samuel! That was so scary!”Cindy lauded herself for her genius. The plan she thought of was simply impeccable!Yesterday, Cindy was the one who shoved Keith into the middle of the road.
At the sight of Samuel, Cindy’s heart came close to stopping.“S-Samuel?”‘Why’s Samuel here?! Hasn’t he already left? Why is he still here? Did he hear my conversation with Keith?!’Samuel didn’t realize that Cindy was caught off guard. He simply said calmly, “I have a banquet to attend tonight. Get ready by then.”Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed Samuel didn’t hear their conversation just now.“A banquet? What kind of banquet is it?” she asked curiously.“It’s held at the duke’s residence.”Joy colored Cindy’s face.Previously, the banquet she attended with Samuel was also held by the duke. It was a grand event, attended by a myriad of honorable guests from high society.She didn’t expect that she would be qualified to attend another banquet hosted by the duke. More importantly, they were invited to a family feast with limited guests!“I’ll get ready by tonight,” Cindy continued ecstatically. “I’ll wear my finest gown! Don’t worry, Samuel. I won’t embarrass you in f
Inside Cindy’s jewellery box were all kinds of exorbitant diamonds and rubies.That blue crystal necklace wasn’t very unique in contrast to the other eye-catching ornaments.Without thinking, Cindy took out the most expensive necklace inside the box.“What do you think about this one?” Looking at Tina’s stunned expression, Cindy felt proud of herself.She couldn’t help but show off and went on arrogantly, “Samuel’s the one who gifted me all these jewellery. After all, I’m his one and only woman! He also gave me this necklace in my hand a short while back. This one consists of 100 diamonds, and each has its own certification!”Tina looked at the necklace and said, “That necklace doesn’t look good on you.”“Really?” Cindy didn’t believe a word Tina said. “Ha! Tina, are you jealous of me?”Tina didn’t reply. Subconsciously, she reached for the necklace with a blue crystal pendant located in the corner of the box.“I think this one suits you more…”“What? This one?” Cindy glanced
At first, Tina was simply sitting in the car as she waited for the police to guide the vehicles to another route.However, she couldn’t sit still anymore when she saw that person.The man on the stretcher wasn’t just any stranger, but someone she was familiar with. Until today, she still harbored guilt and remorse toward that man.He was John Carter!“John!” Tina got out of her car in a hurry and rushed forward for a closer look.However, the police officers stopped her from entering the scene.This time, Tina was sure that she didn’t see it wrongly. She was certain that the man on the stretcher was John Carter!After five years, she didn’t expect to see John again. At least, not in this way. John was a kind man who treated her like his own family.“Officer, I’m not here to stir trouble. That man involved in the accident is my brother! I know him!” Tina said with excitement.However, the officer shot her a look of doubt.The people surrounding her couldn’t help but remark sar
Cindy sighed. In a tone of displeasure, she said, “I’m sure everyone here knows how important Samuel is in the business world. He has so much influence in society that even the duke wanted to get on his good side! That’s why the duke invited us to the family feast.”“I did my best to dress up just for the event.”“However, the feast was canceled the moment we arrived at his residence. The duke received news that his grandson was involved in a car accident. The event was postponed to another day, so we had no choice but to go back home.”Cindy continued, “When the time comes, we still have to visit him at the hospital. Ugh, I dread it so much!”At first, Tina remained silent as she followed the group of women from behind.After she listened to their conversation, her mind exploded with thousands of speculations.She bumped into John yesterday, who was involved in a car accident.Coincidentally, the duke’s grandson also got into a car accident at the same time.If Tina remembered
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
