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 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 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
The king-sized bed in the presidential suite was a mess.The man’s face was divine, and yet there was bloodlust in his eyes and coldness that chills the bone.He was clenching on a woman’s wrist as he viciously swung her out of the room.“You tricked me! Get the hell out of here if you want to live!”“Ouch!” Tina Lynd gasped in pain.Glaring red marks appeared over the delicate skin on her wrist, and her tears were streaming. Her whole body was shaking, and she was so afraid she could die.The man before her was Samuel Langford, the most ruthless tyrant of Freesia. Rumor had it that his methods were so brutal, any living being that provoked him would soon vanish from the grid, as if they had vanished into thin air…But today, Tina had come to die!In fact, that was not all she was going to do here—she wanted to make it known to the whole city that she slept with Samuel Langford, and have her whole family buried along!Sniffling, she restrained the terror she felt even as h
Tina Lynd glowered as she shook off Ellen Golding’s hand. “Move!”“Argh!” Pearl Lynd screamed as Ellen’s nails dug sharply into her arm, and her cry startled everyone nearby!“What happened?! What’s wrong, Pearl?”Jonah Lynd reacted first and quickly moved to block out any inquisitive glances.“We just remembered that there are certain family matters we must tend to—excuse us!”Once they heard Jonah insist that it was a family matter, everyone nearby quickly gave up no matter how curious they were. At the same time, Jonah grabbed Tina by the arm and dragged her firmly to the living room where there were no outsiders. Then, unable to repress his rage, he slapped Tina viciously across the face!“You little wretch! Are you fighting back now?! Look what you’ve done—you’ve hurt Pearl!” He bellowed in rage. “Our family had raised you for ten years, so it’s your blessing to be sold off to Mr. Wallace, but you’re rebelling instead? The insolence!”The slap sent Tina tumbling to th
Samuel’s bodyguards were left utterly bemused.Whenever he sent them out for someone’s head, every single one of them would end up panicking, going down on their knees as they begged for mercy—even wetting themselves, in worst-case scenarios.And yet, this young woman who looked soft and fluffy like pancakes wasn’t panicking at all.Actually… Didn’t she look as if she was looking forward to this?!Still, they did not have time to think as they hurriedly brought Tina back to their car.Once they got in, however, Tina looked around and became a little disappointed. “Wait, why am I alone here?”Weren’t they supposed to bring the rest of the Lynds along?Did her plan somehow fail, and Samuel had decided that he only wanted her head?“Orders from above. Mr. Langford wants to meet you alone.”Tina’s head was already dropping dispiritedly, but those words made her excited again. “Really? I get to meet Mr. Langford? He’s really upset, isn’t he?”Afterwards, she tried to pry more info
Samuel’s body stiffened completely, obviously having not expected such a reaction from Tina. Even as she jammed her lips against his, she kept her arms tightly around his waist, bawling, “Oh, Mr. Langford! I love you so much… Please don’t be so heartless, please spare my family…”Nonetheless, Samuel came to his senses before she could finish, and firmly shook her off. “Get off! Get off me!”Like a provoked lion, he was staring daggers as if his eyes could slice through her.“No! No!” Tina kept going regardless, shaking her head even as she grabbed her leg this time. “Please, Mr. Langford, I won’t ask you to marry me—before I came here, my parents told me that I should agree to become your mistress if I have to…”Tina was basically glued to Samuel, and in his rage, he whipped out the gun he had holstered on his hip!“No, Mr. Langford!” Tina cried, but she kept holding on to Samuel anyway as she closed her eyes. She was dying for real this time—the ten years worth of grief and g
As Samuel paused, Mama Langford promptly pressed her advantage, “Your grandmother’s health is declining, and the doctors are saying that she will only last a few more years. All she wants is for you to get married…” Samuel cut her short. “I’ll never marry Cindy. Even if she did save my life, I only think of her as a younger sister.” “And, what? You want to marry this wretch instead?” Mama Langford asked, pointing at Tina.Samuel laughed coldly. “Her? That’s even less likely!” “Good.” Mama Langford breathed a sigh of relief. “In that case, we’ll do it my way—let her cooperate with your therapy, and when that’s done, you’ll fulfill your grandmother’s wish.”Then, as she hurried away, she added, “That’s all I have to say. Think about it!”After all, Samuel could change his mind in an instant, and she was not about to be embarrassed in front of so many people. Meanwhile, Tina was left gaping as she looked on. It was often said that rich and powerful families tend to get dramatic
