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

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,

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

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

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
