Chapter 363


    Leo opened the door first and walked out of the conference room.


    His tone was light and casual as he spoke. “I hope our partnership can be smooth and fruitful, Mr.


    Langford.” At that moment, the figure standing outside the conference room wavered unsteadily. Leo


    extended his arms out of instinct. “Hey, hey, hey! Are you alright?” Tina found herself being steadied by a


    pair of warm and strong hands. She realized that she had lost consciousness for a brief second, which


    resulted in her almost copsing on the spot.


    She was shocked by the revtion. “I‘m fine...”


    Just as she was about to push herself away from Leo, she felt a strong arm snaking around her waist


    and pulling her away from her benefactor. Then, she was thrusted into a firm and domineering embrace.


    The strength was so overwhelming that she found it difficult to breathe.


    Tina didn‘t need to lift her head to smell the familiar stench of tobo mixed with masculine


    pheromones. Right there and then, she immediately knew that Samuel was holding her. “Uh... Mr.


    Langford, your secretary looks pretty unwell. Could she have caught a cold? Does she need to be taken


    to the hospital for a check–up?”


    Leo‘s suggestion came out as an instinctive blurt. When he noticed Samuel‘s deadly gaze, he quickly


    understood something.


    His will to live told him that he should leave Samuel and Tina alone right now.


    “Uh... It‘s fine. I just remembered that I have something to do, so I‘ll be leaving first, Mr. Langford. We


    can chat more in the future.”


    Leo fled from the scene as quickly as he could. After that, Samuel pushed Tina away from him and


    pinned her on the wall.


    Pangs of pain shot down her spine due to the sudden collision against the wall, making her tear up


    immediately.


    “Samuel, what are you doing?” The next moment she knew, Samuel‘s hand was strangling her neck in a


    strong chokehold. Samuel seethed in a low and dark tone, “I told you to behave when you‘re around me!


    You just refuse to learn, do you? Now that you‘re yearning forpany, you can‘t help but seduce other


    men, huh?”


    What? Seduce?

    Tina was very frightened, and she could only grasp Samuel‘s arm desperately. She was afraid that he


    migtut really strangle her to death on the spot. “I don‘t know what you‘re talkdng about!” “Do you really


    want je to tell you every detail?” Sanuel‘s gaze grew dangerous and bloodthirsty. “Let‘s not talk about the


    fact that you know Leo‘s secretary‘s name. The


    moment you met Leo, you‘ve been trying to seduce him so hard that it disgusts me! Just now, you even


    copsed into his arms on purpose! You deserve nothing but death!” As Samuel spoke, his grip around


    Tina‘s throat tightened. Despair flooded her senses as she wailed, “I didn‘t seduce him at all...” Samuel


    chuckled mockingly in response. “I saw everything with my own eyes, yet you still dare to talk back to


    me. You spout nothing but lies. I can never believe anything you say ever again!” Tina could feel her


    consciousness slipping away bit by bit. Her attempts to push Samuel away from her grew weaker and


    weaker. Tears streaked down the corner of her eyes before she closed them slowly. Suddenly, Samuel


    loosened his grip on her.


    She felt like a fish being tossed onto the shore as she took huge gulps of fresh air. Soon, she felt Samuel


    hoisting her up again.


    A loud click of the door being closed could be heard a momentter. “I thought you‘d keep to yourself


    since you got hurt and all, but it seems I was just overthinking. A woman like you will only spend all of


    your time plotting on how to seduce men, after all.”


    With that, Samuel ripped Tina‘s expensive gown off her body in one fluid action,pletely destroying


    her clothes in an instant...


    The next noon.


    A servant sweeping the garden outside the estate suddenly discovered a figure heading her way from a


    distance. A trace of shock surfaced on her face shortly after.


    “You are... Miss Lynd? Why didn‘t you returnst night? It‘s already noon! Wasn‘t a car sent to fetch


    you home?”


    Tina walked all the way back to the estate on her own. She had no strength to reply to the


    servant‘s questions. All she could do was to walk past her hurriedly with her head sunk low. “Miss


    Lynd, don‘t leave yet! I need to tell you something...!” Before the servant could catch up with Tina,


    a figure suddenly blocked thetter‘s path.
