Chapter 21


    After Samuel followed Cindy back to her house, she changed into a thin sleeping gown and served him


    the chicken soup she had promised, saying, “I’ve done my best to boil this soup, Sam. I know that you’re


    picky about your food, but please be gentle with me if I didn’t do well


    Samuel took a sip. “It tastes fine.”


    “Really? Great!” Cindy eximed. “I’ll cook you something different every day from now on!”


    But for some reason, he remembered the food made by the anonymousdy when he visited his


    grandmother the other day. That was more to his tastes…


    Still, he humored Cindy to the end and finished the soup. However, just as he was about to leave, Cindy


    caught him immediately.


    “Please stay and chat with me, Sam. I’m alone… I’m scared…”.


    Above her thin clothes was a look of utter vulnerability.


    Still, Samuel frowned. “Don’t you have bodyguards?”.


    “You know my father only cares about my younger brother,” Cindy said miserably. “I don’t matter to him,


    and would have been sold off if not for you, Sam…”


    There was a look of utter reliance in her eyes as she looked at him.


    However, it only made Samuel remember Tina, who was equally miserable—even almost getting killed


    hours ago…


    He rubbed his forehead in irritation, but Cindy misunderstood that as her drugs taking effect. “Are you


    sick, Sam? I’ll give you a massage!”


    She quickly rose to her feet, looking as if she was going to give Samuel a shoulder rub, but suddenly


    slipped andnded squarely in his arms.


    “Sam… I’m suddenly feeling dizzy too… I feel so sick…”.


    Cindy wrapped her arms around Samuel’s neck just then, her heart erupting in delight when h e didn’t


    push her away.


    It seemed that she had really seeded!


    She moved ever closer to Samuel then, saying, “You’re feeling sick too, Sam? Why don’t you stay the


    night and rest-Ah!”

    Even before she could finish, Samuel had shaken her off and shended heavily on the floor.


    “Don’t leave me, Sam! Where are you going?!”


    Cindy was already feeling light-headed from a single sip of that chicken soup… so why was Samuel


    perfectly fine after drinking an entire bowl?!


    Nheless, Samuel had already sensed that something wasn’t right, and had a hunch that this was


    Mama Langford’s doing after seeing Cindy’s reaction.


    “I’ll send you a doctor and two bodyguards.”


    with that, he ruthlessly shook her hand off and strode off.


    “Why? Why is this happening?!” Cindy flew into a rage and sent everything on the table crashing to the


    floor. “Why did that wretch seed while I can’t?! It’s all your fault, Tina Lynd! I’ll kill you… I’ll tear you


    into pieces just to put my mind at ease!”


    Her madness only escted until a man showed up, bringing her mad rampage to a halt.


    “Calm down, Miss Young!”


    “You’re… Victor Miller?” Cindy recognized the bodyguard’s face-he was one of the bodyguards whom


    Samuel had sent to Cindy.


    Seeing that she recognized him, he eximed a little emotionally, “Yes, it’s me. You remember me, Miss


    Young?”


    “Of course I do.” Cindy held on tightly to his hand and mumbled miserably, “Victor, I love Sam so much I


    can’t live without him. I helped you so that he didn’t punish you before, so you’ll definitely side with me,


    right?”


    Victor nodded, and Cindy was utterly relieved.


    “You’re so nice, Victor. You’re the only one I can count on now.”


    With those words, she fell like a delicate flower into the arms of Victor, who carefully carried her and


    ced her on the sofa. He turned around and left to get a doctor afterwards, and therefore didn’t glimpse


    the contempt in Cindy’s eyes.


    She wanted Tina dead without ruining Samuel’s good opinion of her. And since Victor had almost died


    because of Tina, he must hold a serious grudge.
