Chapter 141


    A few minutester.


    Tina and Frederick were currently inside the same car.


    They both looked awkward, particrly Frederick. He was obviously very confused. When he saw Tina


    working a normal job, he knew that something odd was going on between her and Samuel. But when he


    heard that Samuel went to save Tina from the hitman in person, he second guessed his assumptions.


    Nevertheless, now that Tina was working as a housekeeper, Frederick was adamant that the rtionship


    as husband and wife between the two wasn’t real.


    “You’re not Samuel’s legitimate wife, are you?” Frederick asked, curious. “Do you have some sort of


    binding contract with him? Like a contract marriage?”


    Tina had no choice but to admit it. “Yeah, we are husband and wife on paper only.” “I knew it! Cindy’s the


    only woman Samuel wants to marry. If he truly loves you, you won’t be working as a housekeeper right


    now. Besides, he won’t expose you to any kind of danger at all.”


    Frederick’s casual remark stabbed Tina right in the heart.


    ‘He’s right. To Samuel, I’m just a tool to make Madam Langford happy,’ she thought, feeling miserable.


    Tina didn’t want to exin even further. She took the lead in the conversation and proposed,” I didn’t


    expect my employer to be you at all. To make things lessplicated, I’ll hand in my resignation letter


    right after I send you home.”


    Frederick tried to win her back almost immediately. “You don’t have to do that. Since you’re not actually


    Samuel’s woman, you don’t have to leave. Besides, you’re in a pinch, aren’t you? Isn’t it inconvenient for


    you to lose this job?”


    At first, Frederick thought he should abandon all hopes of pursuing Tina. Now that things had taken an


    unexpected turn, he felt he still stood a chance to win her heart.


    If he let go of such a golden opportunity, years of honing his technique of seducing women would have


    gone to waste!


    “But…” Tina was hesitant.


    “You’ve signed the contract prior to starting work, right? If you breach the contract, you’ll have to pay a lot


    of money!” Frederick reminded her.


    Only then did Tina remember the terms of the contract. She wouldn’t be able to pay the hefty


    compensation fee even if she were to sell her organs. Frederick didn’t seem like a bad guy, either. Well,


    he did save her life before. Putting their past


    conflicts aside, Tina thought it didn’t seem like a bad idea to work as his housekeeper.


    Fortunately, Frederick wasn’t the same man he was in the past. He had stopped living a frivolous life


    frequenting nightclubs and fooling around with women.


    Now that his father had stepped in to discipline his son, Frederick was forced to work in theirpany


    on a daily basis. So, he wouldn’t stay at the vi most of the time.


    Finally, Tina found her excuse to stay. All of a sudden, the atmosphere was slightly less awkward


    between them.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    One day, Tina was notified that Frederick would return to the vi with his friends. She was tasked to


    prepare dinner for them.


    So, Tina went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the night’s meal.


    After she entered the supermarket, a car appeared from a corner. The person in the driver’s seat was a


    woman covered from head to toe in a ck disguise. She shot a hateful re at Tina’s back.


    She was none other than Pearl Lynd. She got out of jail after a mysterious man bailed her out. That man


    instructed Pearl to get rid of Tina once and for all.


    If Pearl’s mission was sessful, she would receive a generous amount of money and a new identity to


    start a new life in another country. If she failed, her life would bepletely ruined by Tina.


    However, Pearl didn’t even think twice before epting the man’s offer. She hated Tina to the core, so


    much that she was willing to murder Tina even without the promise of money.


    Malevolence burned in her dark gaze as she looked at Tina. She sneered, “Tina Lynd, today is the day


    you die!” Pearl was dying to knock Tina with the car!


    Tina was blissfully unaware of Pearl’s plot. Currently, she was shopping for all kinds of ingredients.


    Tonight, she wanted to show off her culinary skills by preparing a feast! But as she carried the heavy bag


    and was about to pay at the counter, her legs suddenly grew weak. Without warning, she fell to the


    ground.
