Chapter 97

Penulis: Angelica1
Madam Barnes had waited until working hours were over to check on the progress.

Still, it took Tina a while to realize who Mr. Levine was—he was her blind date.

"Is he here?" she asked.

"Yes." Madam Barns chuckled. "I know you're supposed to meet him at the restaurant, but Mr. Levine said he could pick you up since he's going in the same direction. Go on, don't keep the man waiting."

Madam Barnes was quite enthusiastic, clearly pleased about the blind date she had arranged for Tina.

"Alright, I'll go now," Tina replied, not keen to keep someone waiting.

After packing up and heading downstairs, she immediately saw a black Ghost outside the building.

It was Henry's car, and he was inside, with the window lowered.

Tina just happened to meet Henry's eyes, and Linda saw that.

Though briefly surprised to see him looking at her, she pretended to wave at their colleagues to block his gaze.

"Henry's taking me home now. Bye!"

With a sweet smile, she got into the car and leaned toward

    As for Linda, she was smiling ever slightly as Martin's car sped off into the distance…-Once they were far enough, Tina turned to Martin and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Levine, but I didn't want this blind date. You can drop me off at the next subway stop.""Actually, the same goes for me too."Martin chuckled. "Just family duties, I guess. But I guess we could still have dinner together, so that our elders would have something to work with?""Okay." Tina nodded, relaxing at Martin's words.With that, Martin took her to a restaurant, and though they walked side-by-side, there was proper social distancing.Arriving at the room he booked, he chivalrously pulled out a chair for her, asking, "What wine do you prefer, Ms. Smith?""Sorry, I don't drink." Tina smiled, refusing as she was a poor drinker.For his part, Martin did not force her, instead asking a waiter to pop open a red wine for himself while ordering something warm for Tina."Thank yo

    Martin chuckled gleefully. "You can shout yourself hoarse—no one's going to hear you."He had specifically picked this restaurant because it respected their guests' privacy, and the rooms were famously soundproof.A glint of excitement showed in his eyes as he looked downward at the cut on his hand too, surprised that the mild-mannered woman was that wild!But that was exactly it—he liked them wild!The wilder they were, the more thrilling it got!With that, he strode up.Knowing that she was about to lose even her ability to fight and that he was a grown man, Tina kept reaching for the door.Before she could open it, Martin grabbed her hair and pulled, dragging her way from the door.The automatic door shut, just as she managed to open it a little…"Get away from me!" Tina shrieked as she swung the knife at Martin once more, but he was prepared this time, catching her wrist and squeezing.Tina dropped the knife in pain, now defenseless. Martin pulled her into his arms, hol

    Had Henry considered the possibility that things would go bad, and that something worse might happen?Or perhaps he really did not care at all?With her mind riddled by drugs, she could not hold back her thoughts right then, shouting so hard her voice broke, "You were watching as he drugged me, just because I refused to listen and went on this blind date?! So that he can do what he wants with me?! Is that how you want me to learn?!"Henry stayed silent.Taking it as an admission, Tina felt a coldness creep up from her toes to the rest of her body and pushed Henry off with all her strength.Still, she had to lean against the wall with both hands, but just as Henry was going to pull her away with him, the elevators opened again.Then, a lofty, handsome figure strode down the hallway.It was John Levine, who reached Tina with just a few strides of his long legs. "Are you alright, Ms. Smith?"They had never met ever since she came clean to John at the hospital, and it was not easy

    Linda opened her eyes, staring at the door that was tightly shut.Henry had really left her to chase after Tina!-By the time Henry got downstairs, John had already carried Tina into his car and sped off as Henry watched.Henry hurried into his own, and Andy floored the gas pedal to give chase.As Irene rushed to the restaurant, she just happened to see John carrying a drugged Tina into his car.Her eyes turned red in jealousy—that bitch!After all, she was eavesdropping on Madam Barnes and knew that Madam Barnes had arranged a blind date for Tina.But it had to be John Levine, the man she had loved for years!She really wanted to rush at Madam Barnes right then to scream that a slut like Tina did not deserve John! After five years and after Henry had fucked her so many times, even having that bastard with him, how could such a slut deserve John?!However, Irene's mother stopped her, as Madam Barnes was amnesiac.If she told Madam Barnes and caused a stroke, her uncle and H

    Moreover, Irene would hate Tina even more after this anyway.-Meanwhile, the Rolls-Royce Ghost started chasing down John's Maybach as soon as a red light turned green.In the backseat, Henry's rage had shot well over the limit, and he ordered icily, "Cut him off."He had lowered his window, and the rage in his eyes could burn all things as he watched Tina in the backseat of the other car.After all, Tina knew she could not control herself, but she followed John anyway!He had locked her up, but they called it even after he let her lock Linda up for several hours, but that was still not enough to satisfy her.Now, she was even using that blind date to annoy him!She had ignored his warning this morning and now ended up drugged. But instead of reflecting, she left with John to piss him off!Was she not worried that he would really dump her for good?!"Yes, Mr. Barnes."At Henry's order, Andy floored the gas pedal to overtake John.John scowled but handily steered off.It

    John's eyes widened in clear shock, and Andy seized the moment to pull his hand off Henry.Tina's eyes widened too. It took all her self-control to stop herself from closing her eyes as Henry kissed her.Instead, she turned aside and away from those awfully tempting lips, growling through her teeth, "Get… off me!"Half of Tina's body was still in John's car.Fuelled by rage, she pressed his hand against Henry's muscular chest despite being enfeebled while leaning her body backward to put some distance between them.However, her palm just happened to be on his chest, and she suddenly felt something.Ba-dump, ba-dump…Strong, rhythmic heartbeats pulsed against her palm and sent her nerves in disarray.Every beat was an invitation, but she clenched her knuckle right then, stopping her hands from losing control, even if restraining herself was killing her.However, Henry never budged. In fact, he leaned in again, his cool lips by her ears as he whispered just loud enough for both

    Moreover, Tina wanted to annoy Henry.Knowing that his possessiveness was gnawing and he would never abide with another man touching her, she struck him, her spite burgeoning.However, he caught her as she was enfeebled, but she did not care and swung her other hand. He caught her other wrist too, and holding both her hands with a single hand, he pinned her against the door and took off his necktie.Then, tying a dead knot around her hands effortlessly, he finally stopped her.But Tina was not about to let up—even if it was pointless, she was like a porcupine that raised her spikes in clear resistance.Even as Henry's chest heaved, the rage in his eyes flared even clearer, and his hand tightened around her waist, ready to snap her in two.Tina cringed in pain and gritted her teeth as she struggled even harder, shrieking hysterically, "You're a piece of shit!"A raging storm brewed in Henry's eyes, but it calmed considerably as he saw Tina's bipolar reaction.She was doing her

  • Unfulfilled Last Wish   Chapter 105

    Once Tina found Henry's lips, she immediately kissed him as if finding a spring of comfort, refusing to pull away.Henry's expression darkened and gulped—no matter how bewitching she was, he could not do anything to her.Turning to Andy up front, he growled, "Hospital."With that, he pulled her over to him again and made her sit on his lap, holding her chin as he kissed her viciously.Even if he could not do anything to her, he did not let her go, kissing her until she was losing breath each time before letting go, and kissing her again before she really caught her breath, rinse and repeat.It was only when the Ghost arrived at the hospital that Henry really pulled away, leaving her lips swollen.Though Andy stopped the car, it was only with Henry's gesture that he finally opened the door for them, keeping his head down throughout to stop his eyes from wandering.In fact, he would stuff his ears if he could too, as he knew how possessive Henry was.Given Tina's state, he woul

    However, Linda was not all that confident even as she spoke, as she knew that Henry absolutely hated her now.Even so, she had to harass Tina—just seeing Tina upset made her happy.After Henry stormed out of Rose Garden last night, a security guard had to carry a wounded Rory home.And when Linda tried to call Henry, she realized that her number had been blocked and understood that Henry was really upset after last night.But he loved Rory, so he definitely would just be upset for a moment.Once he calmed down, Rory just had to play the victim card again and sweet talk him to earn his forgiveness.Linda had no doubt about that.Ever since Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange but still pampered Rory, it was clear he really loved Rory.And Sophie was dead—how was she ever going to win against Rory?As such, Rory was now Linda's pride.With Rory, she could continue to lead a life of privilege and swipe credit cards without a spending limit, as well as stay in their pres

    But what if Sophie was alive?John really wanted to ask the question but calmed down before he breathed those words, stopping himself just in time.He was still looking.He must never give Tina false hopes before he found anything definitive, because she loved Sophie very much and it would leave her devastated again.On the other hand, seeing that John suddenly trailed off, Tina asked, "What…?""Nothing. Why don't you rest on the couch and let me handle breakfast?"John smiled, ultimately saying nothing about Sophie while putting a hand on her shoulder, gently nudging her to get some rest."No, I'll help." Tina shook her head and worked with him to cook breakfast.Soon, they were done and finished breakfast together.While John headed to work, Tina went to the mall.Mrs. Smith was recovering better than expected, thanks to Yancy helping her with a special recovery plan.As such, Tina had time to buy her new clothes and a birthday present for Helen Moore, as the latter's birt

    John did not hide his selfish nature when he was around Tina.In the end, he was really not that confident in himself—not after Tina had been in love with Henry for so many years, and John himself knew all too well how difficult it was to get over a person after loving them for so long.Still, Tina knew what John was getting at. "I'll never forgive Henry Barnes for the rest of my life, nor return to his side."There is no question that Linda was the one who murdered Sophie. But without Henry's involvement, she would never have had the chance."What she did was horrible, but he's just as unforgivable."That was why she loathed Linda as much as Henry.And the way she saw it, Sophie's death would always stand between her and Henry—there was no chance for her to turn back to him in this life.Seeing the determined expression on her face, John understood that the chief reason that Tina hated Henry so much was because of Sophie's death, and she refused to forgive him.But what if Sop

  • Unfulfilled Last Wish   Chapter 525

    As Henry turned toward Tina, he could imagine how much despair she would have suffered that night, having to wipe blood off Sophie's gravestone.And she had loved Sophie so much that she bought that specific plot of land for Sophie's final resting place, just so that Sophie could be reborn into a better family in her next life!"Tina, can you check on the stew?" John came up with an excuse for Tina to leave, as there were more things that he did not want Tina to remember.Tina nodded quietly and entered the apartment without another look at Henry, while John shut the door as he watched.Then, turning toward Henry again, John asked, "Now, let's talk about Linda's legs. Did you know why Tina pushed her?"Henry could not even answer at that point.Just the two things mentioned earlier was more than what he could take—his heart was almost in pieces and bleeding for Sophie, and for Tina even more so.And yet, John continued, "It was all Linda. She found that Tina was severely depress

    Henry's eyes widened—that was the day… Sophie was buried?!What the hell was he doing?!He felt a chill creeping up from his toes and wobbled backward until his back hit the wall.He never thought about that, because he did not know Linda had every intention to murder Sophie.And now that John laid bare the truth before him, he remembered what he did.Rory had won third place in some jogging event at her kindergarten, and she harmonized perfectly with Linda at Rose Garden.While Rory was coaxing Henry sweetly to celebrate it for her with a grand party, Linda appeared disapproving that he was spoiling Rory, but then offhandedly mentioned they should do it on the weekend.And on the day of the party, Linda had deliberately called Tina to invite her to the party, even asking Tina to bring Sophie along since Henry had not seen Sophie for a while.At the time, Henry was completely skeptical of Sophie's death and missed Sophie since it had really been a while since he saw her.He wa

  • Unfulfilled Last Wish   Chapter 523

    As Henry dropped to his knees, his blood freezing up, he realized had really been harboring Sophie's murderer all along.Remorse and regret struck him everywhere all at once.He looked up at Tina, wanting very much to tell her that he did not know.If he had known that Linda had taken the kidney meant for Sophie maliciously, he would not have protected Linda even if he was still under the impression that Linda was Orange.But he also realized that it was not as if he did not have the chance to find out.It was all because of his suspicion toward Tina that he denied her any chance to speak up.Or perhaps she had already given up on him at that point.Tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she realized what Henry meant to say.Time seemed to turn back to the day when Sophie died, and she was once again mourning Sophie.It had been over two years, but she could never get a good night's sleep at the notion that Sophie was not avenged and therefore could not rest in peace."I've

    Henry did try to force Zach to give up the alleged evidence he had against Linda and even put him through pain that only professionals could endure, let alone a normal person.But since Zach did not give up, he simply presumed that Tina bore a grudge and framed Linda, all because Linda had stolen the kidney meant for Sophie, allowing Rory to survive while Sophie died.If the truth was what Tina had claimed, however—that Rory was not even a match for the kidney transplant meant for Sophie—then that could only mean that Linda had meant to murder Sophie in the first place.Everything she said—that she loved Rory too much and did not want to lose her, and that she felt guilty from picking her own child out of selfishness… Those were all lies!On the other hand, tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she felt as she was brought back to that day."Linda never meant to let Sophie live from the start. And she didn't just steal the kidney meant for Sophie—when Sophie's condition turned te

    Tina glared icily at Henry as she snapped, "What's the point of kneeling here?! You don't even get to apologize as long as you have yet to avenge Sophie!"Henry's burly figure clearly cringed from Tina's words.His lips parted but he had no idea what to say, because he had a hand in Sophie's death too.If he had not told Eric Sandler to prioritize Rory if there was a donor match, Linda would not have been able to steal the kidney meant for Sophie, and Sophie would be alive.Even if he did not know, he was still the reason Linda succeeded, and that made him the chief culprit of Sophie's death."Tina…" He tried to speak despite the difficulty, only to stop.However, Tina knew what he was going to say, seeing the look on his face, and was absolutely seething as she stared daggers at him. "Are you going to tell me that Linda has already suffered for it?! That she's lost her legs and now a hand—""No…."Tina's outburst certainly reminded him of the dastardly things he said to defend

    The instant Tina tapped on the notification, she found Henry kneeling outside her door, motionless.She swiped through her phone and saw that most notifications were from Henry, with the first of many being sent at three in the morning.That meant Henry had driven straight to her place after leaving Rose Garden and knelt outside her door for almost four hours.But Tina remained unaffected.Remembering the video John had sent earlier, she had a hunch that Henry was outside after he became aware of Rory's true nature.She soon tapped out of the notifications and kept chatting with John since she found herself in a good mood first thing in the morning.When John said he had yet to have breakfast, Tina could read between the lines and did not play dumb, telling him that she would cook extra portions for him when he came over.John replied: [Already on my way.]Tina could not resist a smile.
