Chapter 402The butler sounded very surprised, but the duke snorted and said calmly, "I'd like to see if she’s as bad as they say, or she has a backbone as you say." "Besides, I’ve seen that little girl with my own eyes. If there is no paternity test, how can I rest assured?" "Didn't she say that no one could hurt her child without her permission? Then I will talk to her and let her know how much benefit it would bring if that little girl became the child of our family." "I’d like to know if she will continue to think about the child, or if she will want to negotiate a higher price!" Only then did the butler learn what the duke was thinking, and he asked, "Mr. Carter, where are you going to meet her?" The duke thought for a while and said, “Ask her to meet me at the resort hotel at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow." "Yes." The butler said. It didn't take long for Tina to hear the news and asked in surprise, "What? The duke wants to meet me?" "Yes, he’d like to ta
Chapter 403 At this moment, Mrs. Carter was enjoying sunbathing in the resort hotel. She was applying a facial mask with a glass of sparkling water in her hand. She looked noble and comfortable. It seemed she was in a very good mood. The servant said cautiously, "Madam, a maid is here with a pass to the Carter mansion." Mrs. Carter found it a little weird. "Really? I didn't ask any maid to come here with a pass. Is something happening at the Carter mansion?" She put down the glass in her hand, took off the facial mask, and beckoned, "Show me." The servant quickly showed the surveillance screenshot sent by the guard to Mrs. Carter, "It's this woman. Do you know her?" Mrs. Carter just glanced lazily at it. When she saw the woman’s plain clothes in the picture, she said, "How could she be..." "Wait!" Mrs. Carter suddenly widened her eyes when she saw the woman's face. Oh, that face! It was Tina! Mrs. Carter couldn't believe it and couldn't help but blurt out, "How
Chapter 404 Outside the hotel.“Do I still have to wait?”Hearing the doorman’s reply, Tina couldn’t help putting on a grim expression and looked at her watch anxiously.She came an hour earlier, thinking that there would be no problem for her to meet the duke.What she didn’t expect was that it took so many complicated procedures to just get permission to enter the gate......Did she have to wait here for more than an hour?However, since she had arrived at the hotel, she had no other way but to wait.She couldn’t call the duke and directly asked him to come out. After all, she was just a nobody.“Okay, then I’ll wait a little longer,” Tina said helplessly.Inside the hotel, Mrs. Carter made a phone call to her subordinate and swore at him.“What a bunch of idiots you are! Didn’t you tell me that Tina has been taken away by the police? Shouldn’t she be put in jail? How could she come out and even show up here?”Feeling aggrieved, her subordinate couldn’t help saying, “Mad
Chapter 405After Tina walked into the hotel, she realized that the place was very large.In addition to hotel rooms, there were a lot of entertainment areas, such as big swimming pools and a golf course."You are the maid, right? Come with me!" A man appeared in front of Tina, ready to show her the way.Tina nodded and subconsciously looked at her phone.There were only 20 minutes left.She hoped that it was not too late.Suddenly, the man said, "Give me your phone."He reached out to take the phone away.Tina dodged and asked, "What are you doing?"The man sounded impatient."Are you a maid of the Carter mansion or not? Don't you know that this is a luxury resort hotel? To protect the duke and other guests' privacy, the staff is not allowed to take cell phones or other communication devices!"Hurry up and give me your phone. Don't waste my time."Tina knew that many celebrities had many requirements when they met each other, let alone the duke.She had to hand over the
Chapter 406Tina picked up the phone from the ground and said angrily, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"The man was very smug."Yes, and so what? The duke has already left. If you dare to hit me, just do it. I'll take you to the police station!""You!"Tina wanted to say something else, but her phone rang.She glanced at it. It was Hunt calling her.Tina didn't dare to keep him waiting, wondering, 'Could it be that there is some news from the duke?'She picked up the phone and heard Hunt's unhappy voice."Miss Lynd, what's wrong with you? You're late. You didn't even answer your phone!""I ... I accidentally got lost..." Tina didn't know how to explain it. She said, "But I'm out now. Where is the duke? Is he still there?""The duke left a long while ago!"Hunt couldn't help but sigh.He complained, "I told you that the duke hated people who were not punctual and told you to go over early, but you've messed up."The duke is very angry. Besides, he thinks that a woman
Chapter 407 Hearing the familiar voice, Tina turned around. It was Cindy! Tina's face changed color slightly. She was not afraid of Cindy but of the man that might be following behind her. Fortunately, Tina looked behind Cindy and saw that Samuel was not there, except for the two maids who were carrying Cindy’s bags. The moment Cindy appeared, the clerk at the counter who had just looked down on Tina immediately put on a different face. "My goodness, Mrs. Langford! We're so honored to have you here! What are you looking for?" Cindy was famous for her generosity in the luxury mall. If she bought just a few things, it could cover a whole year’s sales of the clerk! Cindy tilted her chin up. She was enjoying the compliments. "I'll look around. Of course, if I lay my eyes on anything, I will definitely take it. I won't be like some poor woman. How dare she come to such a luxury store? She's humiliating herself!" The eyes of the clerk at the counter flicked. She sens
Chapter 408The windows of the black limousine fell. A man in a suit was sitting in the back seat. He looked solemn and stern. He cast his eyes on Tina and demanded, "Tina." Tina thought Samuel wouldn't show up. However, unfortunately, she ran into him anyway! Her face went pale. She turned around to run away. But two bodyguards appeared silently behind her. They were tall and strong and blocked Tina's way like a wall. Tina was then thrown into the car by the bodyguards. She crashed into Samuel. She immediately moved away from him and cowered in the corner like a scared wildcat. She hissed, "Samuel, what are you doing? Let me go!" Samuel was silent. He was looking through a pile of papers. Tina got furious. She stared at the locked windows and the drawn flap of the car. She was now like a cat locked in a cage. She had nowhere to go. The car sped up, and she didn't know what horrifying place it would take her... As Samuel was ignoring her, suddenly, Tina re
Chapter 409Hearing Samuel's words, Tina couldn't help but stare at him, "What do you mean? Did you regret it?" Tina came back to her senses and added angrily, "Samuel, if you don't let me go, I'll..."She was just about to tear up the document in her hand when she found that the document was disappeared.Just now, when Samuel was close to her, he had already taken it away.'Samuel doesn't want to let me go. He is deliberately tricking me!'"Stay away from me! Don't come to me!" Tina looked at him and said in anger.She wanted to push him away, but it was in vain. She only felt his strong chest.No matter what she did, she couldn't get rid of him."Samuel, you bastard. I'm going to kill you.""Come on.""You're so shameless!" Tina was so angry that her eyes turned red.Samuel sneered, "Shameless? Don't worry. I can do something more shameless. Do you want to try?"Instantly, Tina's blood all over her body was about to freeze. She was so scared that she trembled.Seeing her
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
