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
After a whole day of verbal abuse and emotional blackmail, Tina was exhausted. All she wanted to do was leave immediately.She didn’t expect someone to knock into her when she was already walking to the side, almost nearing the wall.All the things Tina had in her arms fell to the ground.Right at this moment, a high-pitched voice screeched next to her ear.“What are you doing? Are you blind?!”Tina looked up and realized that she had knocked into a woman dressed in an outfit with glaringly bright colors. Wearing branded goods from head to toe, the woman gazed upon Tina with a disgusted expression.“You stupid maid! Apologize to me in this instant!” she demanded arrogantly.Tina heaved in a deep breath and straightened her back. She snapped back coldly, “Lady, you’re the one who bumped into me first!”That woman’s eyes went wide with disbelief.“I dare you to say that again! Just look at yourself! For someone as poorly dressed as you to show up at this high-end mall is truly a
The moment Desmond called out to her, Tina’s face sank.She knew who this person was.He was Desmond Henderson!She would never forget this man, even when she was on her deathbed!The woman’s expression changed the moment Desmond called out to Tina.“Desmond, do you know this woman? That’s impossible! She’s just a lowly maid!”Tina clenched her fists in anger. If she wasn’t consciously convincing herself to calm down, she would’ve charged at him and torn his face into pieces!They weren’t mere acquaintances. Desmond was Tina’s ex-boyfriend!Back when Tina was still in university, Desmond tried everything he could to pursue her love. Little did she know that he was actually eyeing the Lynd family’s insurmountable wealth.In the end, Pearl and Desmond colluded and tarnished Tina’s name. From then on, her reputation went down the hill, so much that even the university’s upper management was aware of the scandal. It all resulted in her expulsion from her studies.“We knew each ot
Desmond jumped in shock.He thought he only needed to give a few thousand to make Tina happy.Little did he know that she would ask for an impossible sum of 750,000!“Tina, don’t you think you’re being too overboard?” Desmond said. “I’m just trying to look out for you after all these years. How dare you take advantage of me like that!”“Seriously? You’re looking out for me?” Tina was so furious that she exploded in laughter. “You’re really shameless, you know that?”“You’re just all talk! If you can’t give me what I want, then scram!”Tina’s words were as sharp as knives, leaving Desmond brewing in anger. He screamed, “Know your place, Tina!”“I think it’s the other way around. You should know yours! Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Just look at how shameless you’re acting right now!”“Don’t you dare test my limits, Tina!”Desmond’s expression turned even more livid.Since he couldn’t talk back to her, he raised his arm, about to land a painful slap on Tina’s che
Cindy was elated to see the man in front of him.Samuel swept his gaze over Cindy and he said, “You look pretty.”“Really? Do you really think so?” Cindy was all dressed up with diamond ornaments. She resembled a butterfly as she twirled gleefully in front of Samuel.What followed after was Samuel frowning with displeasure as he said, “How can you go shopping when Keith is still in the hospital?”Cindy’s complexion turned pale. Immediately, she tried to explain, “Samuel, you’ve misunderstood! I’m Keith’s mother, so of course I’m worried about him. But I’m not a doctor. What can I do in the hospital?”“Besides, I can’t help much by staying there. That’s why I came outside to relax for a bit.”Samuel could care less about Cindy’s clumsy explanation.“Follow me to the hospital right now.”He turned to leave.Cindy picked up the hem of her dress and trailed from behind quickly. Before she left, she turned and snarled at Tina, “It’s all your fault that Samuel’s angry now! You were
Tina heaved in a deep breath and wiped off the tears at the corner of her eyes.Under her red and puffy eyes were layers of dark circles that had formed after enduring days of mental exhaustion.At this moment, Tina made up her mind.She would rather suffer alone than drag her only daughter into this mess!All of a sudden, a man’s figure flashed across her mind.John Carter.She had to find him right now.John might not remember her after all these years, but it was still worth a try.Tina was clutching on straws at the moment. Her efforts could very well be fruitless, but she was left with no choice.Previously, she was only asking around the hospitals to make sure John was okay.This time, she was determined to ask John for help. After figuring out the address of the said hospital, she rushed there immediately.“Hello, I’m here to visit Mr. John Carter. Can I know his ward number?”Tina had changed into a prim and proper outfit before she approached the counter.“I’m sor
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
