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,
Samuel was taken aback by Tina’s unexpected reaction.‘So that’s the real her? Stubborn, yet won’t back down easily.’‘She was putting on an act the past two months just to get her revenge.’‘What a manipulative woman…’Samuel glanced at the check on the ground that had been torn to pieces. Complicated emotions surged in his heart. For some strange reason, Tina reminded him of the girl who saved him…“Is everything okay, Samuel?” Cindy asked softly, running towards him.She received news that Samuel would be in the office, and so she came to see him. But all she saw was Samuel staring quietly at the ground.Samuel looked at Cindy. “Why are you here?”“I’m worried that you’ll miss your meals due to your busy schedule. So, I brought you lunch,” Cindy replied, blushing red. Samuel handed the lunchbox to Sandy. Subconsciously, his eyes fell on Cindy as he tried to look at her necklace. Yet, her neck was bare.“What happened to your necklace?”That question shocked Cindy. “Wh
Even though Samuel forbade her from entering, Tina still believed she would get the opportunity to see Grandma again if she stayed near the hospital.The only issue was that the rental fees for units near the hospital were expensive.Since she was a college dropout, no companies would be willing to take her in.Without any options left, Tina decided to take part-time jobs in the neighborhood.She worked as a dishwasher in the hotel during the daytime, and as a delivery staff at night. When she was lucky, she would receive some tips from generous customers. She didn’t earn much, but she had enough to make ends meet.One particular night, an exhausted Tina was on her way back to her unit.Suddenly, a scream from behind alerted her. She had just walked past a pub.“There you are, Tina!”Tina turned around, only to see Pearl. The latter’s face was laden with thick layers of makeup. Standing next to her was an intimidating-looking man.Pearl gnashed her teeth as she went on shoutin
As Pearl approached Tina with the knife, Tina had never felt more desperate in her life.No! She couldn’t allow Pearl to do this to her! Never…!Quick as lightning, Tina threw herself towards Pearl and pounced on the latter.Pearl, caught by surprise, let out a high-pitched scream almost immediately. “Ahhh!”Tina quickly took advantage of the chaos and snatched the knife from Pearl. She then held it tightly, determined. “Let me go and leave me alone!”Her face, burning with anger, scared everyone.“J-Jeremy! Look at how crazy she is! Y-You can’t let her get her way!” Pearl was trembling now, her voice shaky.Even Jeremy was taken aback by Tina’s sudden explosion of rage.“Let’s go!” he barked.Pearl, of course, wasn’t satisfied with it. “Why? Are you just going to let that crazy woman do whatever she wants? Jeremy, we outnumber her! We can definitely win…”But Jeremy wasn’t in the mood for any more of Pearl’s rubbish. Impatient, he swung around and gave her a hard slap on the
She wanted to make up some excuse, especially when so many things happened to her in such a short time. There was also the fact that Madam Woods had just recovered from her illness.Madam Woods would be worried sick if she were to know about Tina’s wounds.Yet the voice that came through the phone was calm yet deep, a familiar masculine tone. “I’ll come to lend a hand today, Tina.”“What?” It took Tina a while to register what had been said. She didn’t expect to hear from John.“You’re living near the hospital, right? I’ll be there in ten minutes. We can go together.” John ended the call right after he finished, not leaving Tina any room to speak.That further confused Tina. ‘He’ll be here in ten minutes?’She rushed back to her unit quickly to take care of her wounds, and made sure to put on thick gloves to cover them.Not long later, a luxurious car appeared at her shabby apartment. The unusual sight attracted the attention of many within sight.Tina got into the car hurriedl
Seeing Tina, Pearl barked scornfully, “I knew it, Tina. Someone like you deserves to work in a shabby place like this! Hahaha! I’ll smash everything here! Let’s see if anyone’s willing to hire you anymore!”Accompanying Pearl were several thugs getting ready to destroy the shop.Tina’s eyes burned as she shouted angrily, “Stop it, Pearl! That’s enough!”“What are you gonna do about it, huh?” Pearl shot Tina a look of loathing, her tone dripping with venom. “I told you, I’ll destroy your life! This is the price for ruining my family!”Tina threw herself at Pearl, but Pearl, who had been expecting this, managed to dodge.Her cronies then gave Tina a hard kick in the stomach, sending her crashing to the ground.Pearl cackled as she looked at the injured Tina, pleased. “On second thought, I’m gonna torture you slowly and make your life even more miserable! Today’s just the beginning. I promise, I’ll ruin you forever!”Pearl then left with her cronies. Just then, Tina’s superior ap
Cindy cut Tina off without any reservations and went on, “Oh, right. We’re getting married soon. Now that your contract with Samuel is over, I do hope you won’t contact him anymore. Wouldn’t it be bad for you if word of this got out?”Once Cindy was done, she hung up without waiting for Tina’s reply.Tina felt as if she had been slapped in the face. ‘Cindy must have misunderstood! I never planned to seduce Samuel in the first place.’Unfortunately, this phone call had been her last chance.The boss had exhausted all his remaining patience when he saw that Tina’s call got cut off yet again. “Seems like nobody’s willing to lend you any money! You’re coming with me to the brothel!”He was about to drag her away by force, only to be interrupted by a deep voice. “Wait.”Tina’s eyes widened as she looked in the direction of the voice,‘John?! What’s he doing here?’“Who’re you?” the boss sneered, scanning John from head to toe.“I’m her brother,” John replied.“Brother? That’s im
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
