“That’s impossible, right?” Tina asked, dumfounded.

Samuel hated her guts, so why would he take her to the banquet?

Victor couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to her. Instead, he handed her a banquet invitation. “Miss Lynd, this is the invitation to the banquet. Please keep it safe at all times. I'll guard the door.”

It was obvious he didn’t want to be around Tina at all.

Tina, however, didn’t mind the bodyguard’s behavior. She glanced at the invitation in her hands, noticing that the date was set for the next weekend.

She had no idea why Samuel wanted her to be at the banquet. However, she was confident that he definitely had no intentions of letting her stay with him throughout the entire night. She was most likely attending the banquet as an invisible extra.

The designers of the studio were very experienced. After an in-depth analysis of Tina’s body type, they quickly found a gown for her to wear.

When Tina exited the fitting room, she had an awkward look on her face.

    All of a sudden, loud commotion exploded from outside the designer studio.“Miss, only VIPs are allowed to enter the studio,” a voice reprimanded.“What do you mean by that?! I’m here to look for someone! Hey, Tina! Don’t you dare hide there without making a sound! I saw you entering this place! Come out if you dare!”“How dare you not keep in contact with us? We’re your family! This is way over the line, Tina!”Ellen and Pearl’s shrieks drifted from outside the studio.“I’m so sorry, Miss Lynd. Two women decided to show up and start a ruckus outside. Don’t worry, we’ll dispatch someone to remove them from our premises immediately,” one of the designers said apologetically to Tina.Tina frowned immediately. “I know them. Let them in.”She wanted to know what Ellen and Pearl were up to this time.Ellen and Pearl were soon permitted entry into the studio. The moment they saw the piles of expensive gowns, their eyes lit up immediately before envy took over.“Wow, Tina. Aren’t you

    The moment she finished speaking, Tina spun on her heel and left.Just then, the staff member, who was done packing up the gown for Tina, showed up. She asked in surprise, “Miss Lynd, your gown is ready… Huh? Where did she go?”Pearl snatched the gown from the staff member’s hands rudely. Smug, she sneered, “It’s fine. She’s not going to the banquet, so this gown’s now mine!”Tina left the designer studio with the intention to inform Sylvia of the good news.Victor, who was supposed to be guarding the door, was nowhere to be found. A while later, he finally reappeared.“Where did you go just now?” Tina asked curiously.“There’s no need for me to report my private matters to you, is there, Miss Lynd?” Victor replied rudely. His gaze then swept Tina from head to toe. “Where’s your gown, Miss Lynd?”Tina decided to let Victor have a taste of his own medicine. “There’s no need for me to report my private matters to you, right?”“You…” Disgust and disdain filled Victor’s eyes. It wa

    Eight years old…?John made some quick calculations in his head. He immediately deduced that Tina and Coco were about the same age.His heart started pumping wildly. Doe-like eyes stared at Tina intently as he asked, “Miss Lynd, I’d like to know if you have any birthmarks on your body.”That question caught Tina off guard. She was stunned for a moment. “Huh?”Seeing as she was confused, John hurriedly explained, “Please don’t misunderstand me, Miss Lynd. It’s just that when I first saw you, I had a feeling that you look exactly like my long-lost sister. Her name’s Coco Carter, and she’s your age. Most importantly, she was born with a birthmark.”A trace of hope lingered in his grim tone.However, Tina shook her head. “Mr. Carter… I don’t have any birthmarks on my body.”It was true that she didn’t have any birthmarks at all. However, there were a few scars on her waist that refused to fade away no matter what. According to the doctor, those scars were remnants of the time she go

    Tina didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation with a nod. “Sure thing!”“Good. I’ll pick you up on that day. Are you going home now? Do you need a ride?” John asked.“There’s no need for that. I didn’t come here on my own.” Tina waved the offer away. “By the way, I haven’t returned your jacket yet…”“You don’t have to worry about that. On the day of the banquet, I’ll pick you up. You can always return the jacket to me by then,” John said kindly.Tina then set a meeting time with John before waving him goodbye. She walked all the way to the hospital’s exit, feeling as if she was still stuck in a trance.Victor asked coldly, “Miss Lynd, is there anywhere else you’d like to go?”“Nope. Let’s go home,” Tina replied.The moment she returned to the mansion and entered her room, a notification sound blared from her phone. It was a text message from John, asking if she had already reached home safely.At that moment, Tina finally realized what exactly happened to her.Good heavens, sh

    John lifted a curious eyebrow in response. “Did you just call me Mr. Carter? Shouldn’t you be calling me something else?” Tina blushed in embarrassment and hurriedly amended her words. “Right. John.”Happiness was evident in John’s eyes upon hearing Tina calling his name. He might have only met her a few times in the past, but destiny tended to work wonders. He even had a feeling that Tina was the younger sister whom he had taken care of since they were young.“Let’s go,” he said. “I’ll take you somewhere you change into new clothes.”Tina finally realized that she didn’t know where they were going. “Um… Where are we going, by the way?” she asked.“We’re attending the banquet hosted by the Langfords,” John replied.Tina was shocked to hear the answer. She had just given her spot to Pearl, but she never expected that she had the chance to attend the banquet again.Then again, John was Samuel’s collaboration partner. It was common courtesy to invite him to the banquet the latter

    Pearl was clad in a black gown. She glared at Tina, envy burning in her eyes.“I knew it, Tina! I was wondering why you’d let me attend the banquet and give me your gown out of kindness! Turns out, you’ve been planning for this exact moment!”Tina looked so radiant in her expensive gown. She had completely outshone Pearl in terms of appearance and aura, much to Pearl’s dismay.The enraged woman was eager to tear Tina’s mask of deceit off her face. She raised her hand, ready to deliver a heavy slap. “I swear, I’ll…!”But Pearl’s slap never connected with Tina’s cheek. The next thing everyone knew, John had blocked the slap for Tina.His unexpected interference shook Pearl to her core. She didn’t expect that someone would jump out in Tina’s defense. Plus, the man seemed to have an extraordinary identity she couldn’t afford to mess with.“Who are you?” Pearl demanded, seething.John ignored her question. Instead, he said with a frown, “I’ll call security.”His words made Pearl go

    “Cough! Cough! Cough!”Tina had already regained her consciousness by then. She was in the midst of coughing heavily.Still dazed, she asked hoarsely, “Did I get rescued?”“Thank god you’re alright!” John didn’t hesitate to scoop Tina into a tight hug, delighted. He was clearly frustrated at himself as he declared in determination, “I won’t let anything happen to you ever again!”He felt as if his heart was grasped by an invisible fist tightly throughout the rescue earlier.Back then, Coco disappeared because of his negligence. Because of that, they were separated forever. John spent the last ten years tracking her down, but to no avail.Fate had brought John and Tina together as siblings, but she almost lost her life because of his negligence once more.However, the duo didn’t realize a white flash appearing from a dark corner of the hotel grounds. A camera had captured the scene of them hugging each other tightly.Thanks to the pool incident, Tina’s gown was completely ruined

    Pearl was soon brought backstage. The waiter then told her, “In just a few moments, you’ll be able to meet Mr. Langford.”Pearl was nervous and excited at the same time, feeling that she had made the right decision by attending the banquet. She knew Samuel would definitely be attracted to her.‘Oh, Tina! I’m finally more superior than you!’ she thought smugly.At that time, the banquet was bustling with conversations and laughter.Samuel’s every move attracted everyone’s attention. It was as if he was a natural king; his aura was so domineering that people couldn’t help but want to submit to him.Cindy happened to be staring at him with a lovesick expression. She vowed to capture his heart once and for all.She was the only woman worthy enough to stand next to Samuel. Only she would become the king’s beloved queen.More noises erupted from the outside at that moment.“Madam Langford is here!”Cindy wasn’t the only one surprised by the announcement.

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

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

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

"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...
