Tina ended the call immediately after, and then blocked all the Lynds’ phone numbers.This was payback for her near-death experience in Mr. Wallace’s hands. She had waited for so long and made so many preparations for this day to come. Finally, her wish was granted.If it wasn’t for the fact that she was still lying on the hospital bed, Tina would’ve rushed out to buy fireworks and set them off to celebrate the occasion.“Yes!” Tina cheered excitedly while clenching her fists.Samuel must be incredibly furious right now. Not only did he capture the Lynd family, but he was also trying to cause her trouble.Tina was no fool. Why would she appear at all? The contract signed between them would be nullified as well.Now, all she had to do was hide until Samuel’s fury had subsided. Then, she would be a free woman once more.The more she thought about it, the more excited Tina became. At least, until she heard the voices coming from outside the ward.“Mr. Carter.”Tina froze. That vo
Everything was all Tina’s fault!“Madam Langford originally wanted to surprise you at the banquet. Thanks to you, Miss Lynd, you’ve disappointed her greatly.”Sandy’s tone was filled with disdain. What he said was akin to a hammer striking Tina in the head, leaving nothing but buzzes and echoes in her mind.‘Oh god… What have I done?’ she thought helplessly.Originally, she thought her plan could trick Pearl into invoking Samuel’s wrath. She didn’t expect that Madam Langford would attend the banquet as well.The elderly woman’s constitution had always been weak. She couldn’t afford to suffer from emotional trauma.“Where’s Grandma right now?” Tina asked anxiously.“She’s in the emergency room located on the top floor,” Sandy responded with a cold huff. “Don’t worry, Miss Lynd. If anything were to happen to Madam Langford, Mr. Langford has made it clear that you’ll be buried next to her. You won’t be able to escape from him at all…”Tina tuned out the rest of Sandy’s words. She
However, Samuel had lost all of his patience for Tina. He turned to his men and commanded, “Drag her out of here. Don’t ever let her appear in front of me!” “Yes, Mr. Langford.” The bodyguards appeared instantly and dragged her away ruthlessly despite her struggles.Despair filled Tina’s eyes at that moment. She looked incredibly thin and feeble in the hospital gown.Unfortunately for her, Samuel didn’t feel even an ounce of pity for her. He had finally seen her true colors, so she was undeserving of anyone’s trust.Just like that, Tina found herself tossed out of the hospital. A lot of people happened to be bustling in and out of the hospital at that time. They all gazed at her curiously, wondering what on earth happened.Tina knew that she looked very ragged right now, but she could care less about the public’s opinion of her. She turned to beg the bodyguards immediately. “Please let me in! I promise I won’t do anything to hurt Grandma! I’ll be satisfied as long as I can take
“I’ll do it,” Cindy offered after sneaking a peek at Samuel’s expression. “Samuel, I promised that I’ll take good care of Grandma Langford. You should hurry up and get some rest. What if you collapsed before she woke up, Samuel? What should we do by then?” Cindy’s soft voice, coupled with the throbbing headache that had been drumming against Samuel’s skull, made him agree to the suggestion.“I’ll rest in the lounge next door,” he relented. “You have to inform me if anything happens.”“I will,” Cindy promised. She then walked Samuel into the lounge.Sandy said gratefully, “Thank goodness you’re here, Miss Young. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do with Mr. Langford!”To him, Cindy was the perfect candidate to become the future Mrs. Langford.It was a good thing that Samuel had rid that Tina wench.“It was nothing,” Cindy replied softly. “By the way, regarding the matter concerning Miss Lynd… Is it really not a misunderstanding?”“Miss Young, you’re too kind-hearted for your
Malicious intent surged within Cindy as she thought how unstoppable she would be once Madam Langford was out of the picture.On top of that, Tina would soon be dead. Cindy would be the mistress of the Langfords!Without hesitation, Cindy reached out to unplug Madam Langford’s oxygen tube.Bang!The door was swung open in the nick of time.Tina felt her body freeze. Was Samuel still awake? She’ll be damned if he sees her…“I-I’m here to visit Grandma…” Tina explained anxiously, gasping for air.Cindy looked at Tina with disbelief, eyes almost popping out of her sockets. She was quick to regain her composure and asked scornfully, “Weren’t you kicked out? How are you still here?” “I’m so sorry Cindy,” said Tina, trying not to sound nervous. “I just wanted to check on Grandma. How is she doing now?”Cindy felt the tension left her body after realizing that Tina wasn’t aware of her intentions.She pretended to be gentle, though she was gloating on the inside.“As long as I’m he
Madam Langford was furious with Samuel’s behavior. Immediately, she yelled, “You! How dare you bully Tina in front of me!”She had just gained her consciousness, and having to go through an intense range of emotions activated the alarm from the machines.“Calm down, Grandma!” Tina said anxiously.The medical team quickly did a checkup on Madam Langford.And all this time, Madam Langford didn’t let go of Tina’s hand. Seeing how protective she was towards Tina, everything others wanted to say died on their lips.Samuel endured his emotions as he shot them a furious glare. ‘Disgusting woman! How dare she put up an act in front of Grandma after everything that’s happened.’Madam Langford’s condition started to stabilize after a while.Still holding Tina’s hand, she said to Samuel sternly, “I don’t have much time left, and I don’t wish to leave with regrets. Promise me that you’ll take care of Tina no matter what. She’s the only Lady Langford that I approve of! Do I make myself cle
The one who caught Tina was none other than John Carter.John was glad to have appeared just before Tina got hurt.Strangely enough, Samuel found the sight of them hugging to be unbearable. He couldn’t believe that Tina managed to seduce John, too!Samuel hissed through clenched teeth, “John, you may want to stay away from this woman. She’s nothing but trouble.”Knowing that he still needed Samuel’s help to find Coco, John didn’t want to get on Samuel’s bad side.But seeing how terribly Samuel was treating Tina, John couldn’t help but fight back for Tina’s sake.“I know what happened during the event. All Madam Langford wanted was to make her your wife, and that was the only reason she was there. And if I didn’t save her that time, she would’ve drowned to death!”John’s words rang a bell. Samuel suddenly recalled pieces of what had happened that night.The girl John had in his arms was Tina! Did that mean she wasn’t putting up an act?!This was when Samuel also realized how pa
As it turned out, everything she had done for the past two months was to take advantage of him.Despite knowing that Tina wasn’t a gold digger, Samuel still found her unforgivable.He hated people who took advantage of him the most.And Tina, she had the guts to use him as a means of her personal revenge.Even if the reason she missed the banquet was because of Pearl pushing her into the pool, a manipulative woman like her will never be part of the Langford family. He would never allow her to get close to his grandmother. After the incident regarding his grandmother settled down, Samuel went back to completing his piled-up work.The next day, in front of the office.A delicate shadow flashed in his direction and blocked his way.“Samuel, we need to talk…”Before Tina could hear Samuel’s response, the bodyguards were already dragging her away.She started to feel anxious. She knew full well that if she were to leave now, it wouldn’t be easy to approach him anymore.“Samuel,
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
