Chapter 368


    Desmond siglied heavily before he started shaking his head. A smug expression was apparent on his


    face, as if he was the only one who knew the truth while the rest of the world was still in the dark.


    “I told you, didn’t? i’m here to help you, not to exact vengeance on you! I’ve investigated your situation.


    You and Frederick Jackson eloped in the past and had a daughter together, but you were unable to stop


    Samuel from separating you from both of them. Your hatred for him must be over the charts, so you’re


    finding ways to get revenge on him, aren’t you?”


    Desmond continued, “Now, your chance has arrived! Someone offered me a huge sum of money to ruin


    the partnership deal between Samuel and Leo. Since you’re Samuel’s partner in bed right now, if you


    have the chance to sneak into his study and steal some documents…”


    Before Desmond could finish his words, Tina’s expression changed drastically. She threw the document


    away immediately, almost hitting him in the face.


    Then she rose to her feet and snapped coldly, “There’s no way I’d ever help you!”


    Upon noticing that Tina was about to turn and leave, Desmond felt anxiety wrecking his nerves. He


    instantly stood up and blocked her way.


    “What do you mean by that? Don’t you want to be with your original partner? Don’t you want to see your


    daughter? Could it be that you enjoy being with Samuel this whole time? Wow, Tina! I never knew you’re


    such a despicable wh*re despite your pure and innocent appearance … Argh!”


    Tina had lifted her leg mere moments before he could finish his sentence and gave him an angry kick in


    the family jewels.


    Desmond let out a blood-curdling shriek before copsing to the floor, looking like a toad with its belly


    glued to the floor.


    Tina replied mockingly, “Shut up, Desmond! You’re even more worthless than a dog right now. How dare


    you chastise me when you’re the onemitting all these despicable and underhanded crimes? Hah!”


    Desmond didn’t expect Tina to turn into someone hard to fool, especially with her naive outlook of the


    world a few years ago. “You’ll be back for my help!” he roared with a twisted expression. “Haha!” Tina


    simply responded with a coldugh. She left without any hesitation, not even bothering to turn back to


    spare Desmond a look. She got into her car, stomped down on the gas pedal, and sped away from the


    café.


    To her, Desmond’s idiotic words had the same value as a fart.


    It wasn’t as if she had never thought of escaping from Samuel. Even if she were to escape, she wouldn’t


    be using such underhanded methods. Tina wanted to live more than ever. Not only that, but she also


    wanted to be a person of integrity while watching Kara grow upppily.


    Upon returning to the estate, she got out of the car, only to see a tall figure standing in the courtyard. The


    sight of that figure made her knees buckle together weakly as fear started overtaking her senses.


    It was Samuel


    Didn’t the servant mention that he would only be home at night? Why was he already here before


    nightfall?


    Samuel was d in a suit as usual. He looked regal and domineering.


    A lit cigarette was trapped between his fingertips, the thin wisps of smoke clouding his dark and


    dangerous eyes. “The servant mentioned something about you going out to buy something,” he said.


    “Where is it?”


    Tina finally realized that she had left the café in a hurry just now, and had forgotten to buy something to


    back her excuse up. “I… I didn’t get to buy it.”


    “What’s the thing that’s so hard to buy?” Samuel let out a cold chuckle. “Are you lying to me

    again??


    He didn’t show any signs of losing his temper. He looked calm, but there was mockery written all over his


    face. It was as if he had already seen through Tina’s true personality as a natural liar.


    Thetter could only swallow dryly.


    “I… I heard Keith fell ill, but I didn’t have the chance to go visit him. Now that I’m feeling better today, I


    wanted to buy something and have someone bring it over to him, but I don’t know what he likes to eat.


    That’s why I didn’t buy anything, and ended up returning empty handed…”


    Samuel lifted an eyebrow. “Is that so? Do you want to see him that badly?”
