Chapter 173
Tina never expected to see Samuel calling her.
Complicated emotions surged in her heart as she picked up the call.
“Hello?” she asked in an attempt to gauge Samuel’s mood. However, nothing came out from the other
end of the line.
Could it be that he had mistakenly called her?
Tina felt quite confused, but just then, Samuel’s cold voice drifted from her speaker.

“Where are you?”
“I’m outside right now.”
Before Tina could finish her sentence, Samuel cut her off coldly and said, “Go to the hotel. I’ll have
someone send you back to the manor tomorrow.”
“Which hotel?” Tina asked again.
Cindy’s voice rang from the other end of the line at that moment.
“Samuel, I felt that I was in an amazing dream when we were in the press conference earlier! I felt like a
princess in your arms. Everyone else was giving us their heartfelt blessings. To be honest, I don’t feel
like waking up at all…”
Cindy’s tone was joyous and dreamy. It seemed as though she had realized something, because she
added, “Hmm? Samuel, are you busy at the moment? I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Before Samuel could reply, Tina hung up on him. She had no intention of ruining the couple’s day. It
would mean trouble for her, after all. Upon noticing Tina’s thunderous expression, Frederick asked, “Are
you all right, cutie?” “I’m fine,” she replied with a deadpan look. “Let’s go. I don’t care where we’re
going.”
After all, there was nowhere she could go.
“You’re being decisive all of a sudden. Aren’t you afraid I might sell you to human traffickers?” “Haha!”
Tina couldn’t help butugh in a self-deprecating way. “Based on my soiled reputation, how much can
you sell me for?” The sight of Tina looking so nonchnt made Frederick’s heart ache for her. Originally,
he thought she was a feral cat who always had her ws out and her fangs bared, but he didn’t expect
that she would have her vulnerable moments. A few minutester, Tina gazed out of the car window and
noticed the change in scenery. To her surprise, the surroundings were quite familiar to her,
“Isn’t this your house?”
“That’s right.” Frederick smiled at her. “I don’t know where else to take you to. All the ces that I know
are either bars or nightclubs. I know you definitely don’t want to go to such establishments, so I decided
to take you home for a meal or two.”
Tina couldn’t help but remember that day.
If it wasn’t for Pearl staging that car ident, she might have still remained in the Jackson residence as
their butler. She would be busy taking care of Frederick’s personal affairs and meals.
Feeling slightly emotional, she asked, “By the way, what happened to the culprit?” Too much had
happened to her within the recent period of time, so she forgot to ask about the aftermath of the ident
till now “You must be talking about Pearl Lynd, right?” Frederick had investigated Tina before, so he had
a general understanding of her background. “She escaped, so now, she’s a fugitive on the run. The
police are still hunting for her. Don’t worry, the rest of the Lynd family is suffering a fate as bad as Pearl’s
right now. They’ve been using the orphanage as an excuse tomit countless frauds. The police have
uncovered their illegal deeds, mainly tax evasion and the acts of embezzlement. They won’t be able to
cause you trouble for the time being.”
Tina didn’t care about the Lynds at all. They did reap what they sowed, after all. After entering the
mansion, she discovered it to be in a messy and unruly state. The sight made her frown instinctively.
“Why is it so messy here?” Frederick felt guilty all of a sudden. He quickly exined, “I haven’t returned
to the mansion for a long time, but I did lend this ce to my friends to host their parties and other
gatherings. They must’ve caused this mess. Why don’t you make yourselffortable here while I hire a
cleaner…”
“There’s no need for that. I can clean this ce up.” 1 Tina worked swiftly in restoring the mansion to a
clean and tidy state.
