Chapter 124
Chapter 124 Samuel was surprised to hear the question. His sharp gazended on Tina’s form. “The
Langford family had sealed the news. No one knows about this. How did you find out?” he demanded
harshly.
Guilt gnawed at Tina’s heart. There was no way she could tell Samuel that she had heard everything
from under the table.
“Of course, I didn’t eavesdrop on you! That was because… because I was…” Under Samuel’s cold gaze,
Tina started stammering in panic. Before she could finish her sentence, the former’s phone started
ringing again. “Samuel…” A sickeningly sweet voice red from the phone’s speaker at that moment.
Tina shivered the moment she heard the voice. She quickly recognized the owner of the voice.
That was Cindy!
Samuel didn’t notice Tina going stiff all of a sudden. He rose to his feet and picked up his phone.
“Samuel, I heard that you just attended a gathering. You must have drunk a lot, right? I’m very worried
about your health, so I made some hangover soup for you…” Samuel turned her down swiftly. “There’s
no need for you to do that.”
“Is that so?” Cindy obviously sounded dejected. “I wanted to surprise you at first, so I’m already in front
of your house. Since you don’t need it, I’ll just go home.”
Samuel’s brows were instantly tangled together. “You’re already here?” “Yeah.” Cindy let out a dejected
sigh. “I got too worried about you, so I did unnecessary things. I won’t do things that will make you angry
at me ever again.” Samuel rubbed his forehead in irritation. He couldn’t possibly waste Cindy’s efforts.
She was already here, after all. “Wait right there. I’lle over,” he said. “Really?” Cindy sounded
incredibly happy. “I’ll wait for you, Samuel!” Then, Samuel shot a look in Tina’s direction. “Stay here.
Behave yourself and don’t go anywhere.”
After that, he left hurriedly.
If Tina was still dazed from her interactions with Samuel earlier, then the conversation between him and
Cindy had definitely sobered her up. Its effects were as strong as someone dumping cold water onto her
during a winter month.
What exactly was she hoping for just now? Did she really want Samuel to treat her like his wife?
How ridiculous.
The reason why Samuel wanted Tina to behave herself was because he didn’t want Cindy
having her heart broken after seeing her there. After all, she was the harlot who had ruined their happy
rtionship. Tina felt like vomiting once again, but then, she heard Samuel and Cindy’s voices getting
closer to the room that she was in.
“Samuel, can I stay here for a while? I need some rest,” Cindy requested.
Tina got up in rm upon hearing that request. It was a good thing she had stayed in that house before,
so she quickly fled the house via the back door.
She stumbled all the way to the street while waiting for a taxi toe pick her up.
The area that she was in right now was amunity meant for only the wealthy. The mansions
surrounding her were brightly lit, asughter of various families drifted into her ear. Tina could only slump
onto the bench and stare down at her injuries with the help of the dim streetlight.
ck! ck! ck!
Tina didn’t know how much time had passed, but the taxi hadn’t arrived at her location yet. Instead, she
heard high heels clicking behind her.
Cindy’s voice startled her at that moment. “Tina Lynd, I was wondering where on earth you went. So
you’re here all along, huh?”
The moment Tina heard Cindy’s voice, she was instantly on her guard.

“What are you trying to do, Cindy? Samuel’s right here, you know? If you did anything to me, he’d
definitely find out!” Tina hissed.
Cindy was dressed in fancy, high-end clothes. She was covered in branded clothing from head to toe,
her attire paired with an expensive-looking bag. The sight of Tina’s ragged appearance filled Cindy with
glee, and she had the desire tough out loud. She jeered, “Oh, Tina! Look at you. What a pathetic
woman! You’re just like a drowning dog. Tell me, has your life been difficulttely?”
