“Yes, sir.” The assistant looked at Tina, a mixture of awe and respect in his eyes.Once the assistant spread the news, all of the staff members who were supposed to attend the meeting were shocked, to say the least.A blue moon must have appeared last night. To think the demonic CEO of the Langford Group would choose to have lunch on time today…!While Samuel ate his lunch, Tina was constantly under stress and anxiety.Fortunately, since he was busy with work, he didn’t cause trouble for Tina. Having filled his stomach with food, he left for his meeting quickly.Tina tidied up everything before asking the assistant, “Is there anything I can help out with here?”“Well, I do have a stack of important documents. Once Mr. Langford is done with his meeting, you can bring them over for him to look over and sign.”“That’s a pretty simple task, isn’t it?”“Miss Lynd, it may be simple for you, but to us, that task is anything but that!” the assistant said meaningfully.Tina guessed th
Tina rushed down the stairs without a care in the world.After she left her desk, a figure snuck over and flipped the documents on her desk open. Then, they took out their phone and started taking pictures of the contents. Only the sounds of the shutter going off could be heard in the office.Meanwhile, Tina had reached the lobby.Many employees noticed her, so they started greeting her in a friendly manner.“It’s you, Miss Lynd!”“Where are you going this time, Miss Lynd? Did Mr. Langford issue a new task to you?”Tina had only come to the company a few times in the past, but the entire company already knew of her existence.In their eyes, she was an amazing woman. On her first day at the company, she had already picked a fight with Mrs. Langford, only to be spared from any punishments from Mr. Langford.After that, she attended a banquet as his partner. He even delayed today’s meeting because of her, just so he could have lunch at a regular time.Everyone in the company knew
Desmond waved his arm. A man clad in a black windbreaker walked out of the corner. He happened to be carrying a camera with him.“How was it? Did you take pictures of everything?” Desmond asked.The man in black replied smugly, “Of course! They’re all high-quality pictures!”While he spoke, he showed Desmond the pictures he had taken before. One of them showed Tina approaching Desmond’s car. The other one depicted her taking the check from him.The pictures after that showed the scene at the café. Tina and Desmond were sitting in a corner, looking like they were plotting something.“Hahaha! That filthy b*tch is doomed!” Desmond’s gaze was filled with smugness.The reason he came looking for Tina wasn’t to help her, obviously.The moment she reappeared in his life, he was chased out of the hotel and lost his job in the process. His hatred for her was bottomless. Because of her, he was utterly humiliated. Not to mention, that he lost his job because of her.Originally, Desmon
Samuel took in Tina’s pathetic appearance.His eyes darkened before he quickly averted his gaze. Then, he loosened his tie as an act of frustration.This woman was truly…A master actress!However, he didn’t have a way to deal with her at all.Samuel no longer wished to stay in the same room as Tina. This was his company, not his home.There might be a possibility that this woman would cause more trouble for him later on.He turned around to leave, his cold tone ringing in the air as he did so.“Fine. Get the coffee ready, and rearrange those documents before you bring them into my office. They’re so messy that no one wants to read through them.”Tina couldn’t help but mumble inwardly to herself.When she left earlier, the documents were stacked neatly on the desk.The reason they were so messy was because Samuel flipped through them, didn’t he? How could she be blamed for it?“Okay. I got it,” she replied respectfully.Tina moved quickly. Soon, she delivered the documents
Whenever Kara fell ill in the past, Tina would always make a variety of snacks in order to cheer her up.Now, she used the same tactic on Keith.Samuel wanted to explain to Tina that Keith was a prodigy who hated being treated like a child, but…“It just so happens that I’m hungry. I want to try those snacks. Give them to me.”Keith, who had always been known as a picky boy who hated being viewed as a child, stuck out his hand for the snacks. He seemed to be cooperating with Tina’s efforts to cheer him up.Samuel quickly swallowed the words that he wanted to say.A frown instantly graced his face as he stared at his cold and aloof son.Since when did Keith have the tendency to be nice to strangers?Tina didn’t know the little boy well. In her eyes, not only was he far too young to cope on his own, but he was also a pitiful child who never received his parents’ love.She approached Keith’s bed while saying, “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I made a bit of everything. This
Cindy kept wiping tears from her eyes, looking very pitiful as she spoke.“Samuel… Even if you don’t care about me, at least think about our son…”The aforementioned man’s expression quickly darkened as soon as Keith was mentioned.Tina instantly understood the situation and spoke up immediately before Samuel could say anything. “It’s my fault for barging in, Mrs. Langford. I’ll leave right now.”With her head bowed, Tina was about to leave the ward. Cindy immediately shoved her forcefully from behind.“Get lost! Get the hell away from me and my family right now! Don’t you ever show up in front of me and stain my eyes with your presence in the future!”Tina lost her balance due to the painful shove and fell to the floor.Having seen her fall, Samuel was about to approach her and help her up. Cindy grabbed his arm immediately, stopping him.“Samuel, are you seriously going to abandon me and Keith?! He’s your only son!”Thanks to Cindy’s efforts to hold Samuel back, Tina quickly
Kicked out of two hospitals twice in a row, Tina couldn’t help but feel forlorn.Did she not deserve any hope in her life?Was she destined to be confined next to Samuel? Did she deserve to be tortured and imprisoned by that man, all the while hoping that he would let her go one day in the future?A crestfallen Tina walked on the street. However, a row of black cars suddenly pursued her from behind.The cars came to a halt in front of her, blocking her way.Stunned by the sudden appearance of the cars, Tina lifted her head to see what was going on.The sight of the bodyguards clad in black suits getting out of the cars made her expression change drastically. Tina had no idea whose tail did she step on this time, but running was always the safest option.Just as she was about to turn tail and flee, the leading bodyguard suddenly called out after her.“Are you Miss Lynd? Mr. Carter would like to see you!”The moment Tina heard the bodyguard’s words, she stopped in her tracks i
Mrs. Carter led Tina through the door.She attempted to gauge Tina’s reaction by asking, “Miss Lynd. If I remember correctly, you’ve gone missing for five years. Why do you intend to visit John after so long?”Had Tina perhaps discovered her own heritage?Mrs. Carter’s question made Tina nervous.“I…” Tina lowered her head in response.There was no way she could tell Mrs. Carter that she wanted to try her luck by requesting John to save Kara.“I happened to be at the scene when he got into that accident some time ago. It was then I realized that Mr. Carter was also in Paris, so I decided to go visit him at the hospital. However, I don’t think he refers to himself by that name here, so I got chased out of the hospital because they mistook me as someone who tried to cause trouble…”Mrs. Carter’s eyes lit up. She then asked, “Are you saying that John never told you his actual identity in France?”“Yes. I have no idea what his identity is here.” Tina shook her head.Mrs. Carter vi
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
