Chapter 156


    “Now that everything’s been cleared and we all know that it was Cindy all along, you’ll let Tina go, right?”


    Samuel red at Tina with a sharp expression. But that only scared Tina more.


    For some reason, he felt a painful pang in his heart. However, he didn’t have the time to inspect that


    feeling.


    “I’ll have people investigate the things Cindy have done, Samuel said. He took a deep breath before


    picking up the unconscious Cindy and continued, “But Tina must follow me back.”


    Tina quickly hid behind John. “No! I will never follow you back.” John knew how powerful Samuel was,


    and it wouldn’t do him good if he went against Samuel again. So, he made apromise. “Mr. Langford,


    you gave me a few days to think things through. Why not give Tina a few days to calm down? Not to


    mention, she just got out of an ident. She needs rest.” Samuel’s gaze went from Tina to Cindy, who


    was lying in his arms. He tried to avoid that pain from his heart and replied coldly, “Fine, I’ll exin things


    to Grandma myself.”


    Then, he left the room.


    Tina let out a sigh of relief as Samuel left. “Thanks, John. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve…”


    But John just stared at her and asked sadly, “Why didn’t you tell me what you’ve been through?”


    Tina suddenly recalled how she had been keeping everything Cindy did to her a secret from John.


    Guilty, she lowered her head.


    “I didn’t want to trouble you… Plus, I wasn’t sure if you’d believe me…”


    John kept staring at her for the next few seconds. Finally, he said, “Go rest. We’ll talk about this some


    other time.”


    “Okay, sure.”


    John followed Tina into the room. As he entered, he saw the pile of blood on the ground.


    “What’s that? Are you hurt, Tina?!” Tina quickly exined, “It’s Samuel who was hurt, not me…”


    But John couldn’t seem to calm down at all. So, Tina continued exining. “Don’t worry, Madam


    Langford was the only reason why I married him. I wanted to repay her


    for the next 6 months by taking care of her.” “Then, we’ll get divorced and everything will be back in


    ce.” “Really?” John didn’t seem convinced. If Samuel married her just for this reason, why did he lock


    her up?


    “Of course, the one that he truly loves is Cindy. You saw it for yourself. He even carried Cindy in his


    arms. He hates me because I ruined his ns to marry Cindy…”


    Tina was about to continue, but John’s bodyguards from outside interjected her. “Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter


    requested to meet you.”


    ‘Is something going on?’


    ‘Why does she want to meet me?’


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    John stood up from the chair all of a sudden. “Is it information about Coco? I’ll be right there!”


    He left the room immediately, not even bothered to utter another word to Tina.


    Tina, who was left alone, felt a rush of sorrow. Though John had been treating her well, she was still not


    his true family…


    Butshe wouldn’tin, nor would she be jealous.


    ‘My child, I wish you’de out earlier.’ ‘I want to have a family, too.’
