“Hmm.”Samuel grabbed her more firmly with his muscular arms.“Aren’t you the one who requested this? Are you scared now?”Tina’s face turned pale. “It’s all good! It’ll heal on its own after a few days. There’s no need to trouble yourself, Mr. Langford.”“Since I’ve already started, I’ll finish what I started.”“No, you really don’t have to…”It wasn’t about finishing anything. It was about the unbearable pain!There was no way Samuel would be this kind to her.Tina finally understood that this was another one of his ways to torment her. Samuel sneered, “Aren’t you a professional in manipulating people? You can’t even take this, huh?”Tina was too weak to answer him. All she could do was cover her mouth so she wouldn’t cry out.After some time, Samuel finally finished massaging her legs and let go of her.“Okay…” Tina let out a sigh of relief, thinking that everything finally ended. Just then, he heard him say, “Let’s sleep.”Tina’s body froze. She expected another roun
What happened in the past still haunted Tina.Samuel had taken her to dinner, only to torment her. In the end, she was almost sexually assaulted by a disgusting old man. Siad old man wanted revenge and tried to kidnap her afterwards.After what happened yesterday night, she had the naive assumption that Samuel wouldn’t torment her anymore. As it turned out, he was just as cruel as before!Fear and panic were written all over her face.The servants looked at her, perplexed. “Mr. Langford has to go out for dinner tonight, so he’ll need a female companion. Isn’t this a good thing?”Samuel had only introduced Cindy Young as his companion in the past few years.Tina should be happy that she could be his companion. This should be good news, right?However, this revelation only intensified Tina’s worries.It was the same reason all over again. A dinner, and needing a female companion!Who knew if she would be treated like an object once again?!However, this was Samuel’s order. Ti
Tina turned around.What she saw next was a young woman with heavy makeup.Oddly enough, Tina found this woman familiar. Tina frowned as she asked hesitantly, “You’re…”“It’s you! I remember you! You’re Tina Lynd, right? Why are you here?!”Felicia demanded aggressively, her voice a shrill octave.Tina finally remembered who this woman was. She had bumped into this woman the other day; it was the rude woman who had been with Desmond!“Why can’t I be here? Who are you to question me? Do you own this place?” Tina fought back.Her attitude set Felicia off.“You’re nothing but a pet to the Langfords! How dare you talk to me that way?!”Tina was unbothered by Felicia’s aggressiveness.“You said it yourself, didn’t you? I belong to the Langfords. That’s the answer.”“You… How dare you!” Felicia screamed shrilly. “You’re not here for Desmond, right? He’s my fiance now, so don’t you dare!”Tina sneered. “Desmond? Sorry, but I’m not attracted to trash.”“Who are you calling trash
“Who gave you the right to kick me out?” Tina shouted back.However, Felicia glared back at Tina arrogantly.“The organizer for tonight’s dinner is Mr. Beckett, and Desmond’s currently working under him. I must make sure that nothing goes wrong today!”“As for a thief like you, you should be staying in the police station!”Tina, of course, wasn’t going to let that happen.Just when she was planning to fight back, a man’s voice interrupted them.“What’s going on?”Tina lifted her head and turned in the direction of the voice.Samuel!The security guards didn’t dare to move when they saw Samuel. “Mr. Langford!”Samuel’s sudden appearance scared Felicia.She was completely drowned in Samuel’s looks and pointed accusingly at Tina.“Mr. Langford, this woman is a servant! She snuck in!”Samuel looked at Tina, who was lying on the ground.“Really?” He sounded calm.Felicia was hesitant at first.However, Samuel’s response gave her the courage to continue. In fact, she was thri
Felicia was taken aback at his reply.“What?”‘Oh my goodness! Did Mr. Langford just agreed to help me?!’Felicia was trying hard to restrain her excitement. “Are you really going to help me, Mr. Langford? This is great! You’re such a nice person…”“Throw her out,” Samuel finally said, his eyes locked on Felicia. Felicia couldn’t hold back anymore. She approached Tina haughtily, pride oozing out of her every pore.Tina’s face went pale. It looked like Samuel intended to torture her again!She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as the bodyguards approached her. “No need for that. I can take my own leave…”Much to her surprise, they zoomed past her.Tina was confused.Felicia started panicking.“What are you doing? Didn’t you hear Mr. Langford’s orders? Throw her out…”Upon seeing that they were walking toward her, Felicia knew something was off.“What’s happening? Why are you grabbing me?! Mr. Langford ordered you to throw that woman out! Let go of me…”Just then, De
Tina looked at Samuel, puzzled.Didn’t he intend to humiliate her in public? Why did he kick those two out instead of her?!This was all too strange.Tina wasn’t the only one perplexed. The crowd was just as confused. But Samuel didn’t even bother to explain himself. “You’re causing trouble even when you’re attending dinner. You embarrass me, Tina Lynd.”Tina felt wronged.She never wanted this to happen in the first place!Plus, she was alone. What else could she have done?!She held back the urge to retort, and instead bit her lips in silent anger.Samuel turned around. When he spoke, his tone was cold as usual.“Keep up.”He walked away after finishing his sentence.Tina followed him without hesitation.As the two went their way, the crowd burst into guesses and gossips. “What’s happening? Did Mr. Langford just help that woman?”“God, who is that?”“Didn’t they say Mr. Langford hated women? That he only has Mrs. Langford by his side? How did this woman manage to be
Tina subconsciously lifted her head to look at the newcomer.She recognized the man in front of her at first glance.“M-Mr. Beckett!”Mr. Beckett, also known as Leo Beckett, was a bigwig in the fashion industry. He was known as a genius who had garnered fame and reputation at a young age.He managed to blast his way out of the masses of veteran fashion designers in Paris and successfully made a name for himself. Hence, he was viewed as the pride of the Parisians.Not only did he have many popular designs under his name, but his tales of romance that involved multiple heiresses were also lengthy. Three days and nights weren’t enough for a storyteller to recount his saga.“You know me?” Leo asked, rubbing his chin curiously.Tina looked slightly nervous as she introduced herself. “Of course! I’m… I’m your fan! M-My name is Linda!”“So you’re Linda the designer? I know who you are!”Leo was instantly filled with interest as he continued, “I remember your designs. If I’m not mista
Before Tina could answer, Samuel opened his mouth and interrupted with his usual icy tone.“Simple. I was the one who kicked him out of the hotel.”Leo was flabbergasted to hear the answer.“W-Why would you…?”Samuel huffed coldly before replying in a domineering way, “Next time, choose a normal secretary. Don’t choose ones who cause trouble all the time without knowing who they’re messing with.”“O-Okay.” Leo had no choice but to comply.After all, this was Samuel’s personality. He was fine if no one provoked him, but he wouldn’t hesitate to humiliate anyone who dared to anger him. “I’ll have someone go to the hotel entrance and retrieve the documents from my secretary.”Samuel shot a cold look in Tina’s direction. “You don’t have to do it yourself, Mr. Beckett. I’ll let my secretary retrieve the documents in your stead.”“Huh? Me?” Tina couldn’t help but point at herself.“What else are you here for? Are you just going to leech off me?” Samuel sounded impatient.Tina bit
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
