Chapter 175
Lord Jackson kept humiliating Tina with his words.
“You’ve committed so many evil deeds! Aren’t you afraid of them biting you back when you least expect them? Your children will definitely suffer because of you!”
Tina put down the dishes immediately upon hearing the last sentence.
She did owe Frederick her life, and she also felt very guilty for what he had to go through. That was why she would endure whatever Lord Jackson hurled at her.
But this old man involved her unborn baby, which was way over the line. She could never tolerate that.
“Lord Jackson, you spout such vile words despite your age. Shouldn’t you be the one worrying about the repercussions that your words bring?”
“How dare you talk back to me!” Lord Jackson was enraged after hearing Tina’s reply. “You already called me a vile and manipulative vixen, didn’t you? Why shouldn’t I talk back?” she retorted sassily. Then, she started chuckling coldly before continuing, “Also, your precious grandson is the one sticking around me. What can I do about him? You might as well chain him up at this rate to avoid Mr. Langford from finding out what’s going on! Otherwise, he might lose his life!
“How dare you threaten me…” Lord Jackson’s expression became stormy immediately. He no longer wished to waste his breath on that sharp-tongued woman. He pulled out a card and threw it to the floor. “There are five million dollars in this card. Take the money and get out of Freesia!”
“Oh, trust me! I’ll be leaving this city, but now’s not the time!”
“So you don’t intend to leave?” Tina was too lazy to explain everything to Lord Jackson. “What do you mean by that? Freesia doesn’t belong to the Jacksons! Since you’re so worried about your precious grandson, keep a good eye on him. Don’t let him anywhere near me.” Once she was done speaking, she strode out of the mansion immediately. The butler and the other subordinates happened to be restraining Frederick from re-entering the mansion. When he noticed Tina exiting, he said anxiously, “Did my grandfather say anything to you? Please don’t take his words to heart…”
“Mr. Jackson, thank you for taking care of me and helping me out all this time. I’ll think of ways to earn money and repay your kindness.”
Lord Jackson’s angry voice drifted from behind Tina. “Stop putting on a performance! You’ll be repaying Frederick by staying away from him!” “It’s already this late. You’ll be in danger if you leave on your own…” Frederick was worried about Tina’s safety. She could only sigh, feeling both touched and helpless at the same time.
“Lord Jackson is right. We shouldn’t meet up in the future. It’s for our own good.” After that, she turned on her heel and left. Her lonely silhouette disappeared into the darkness. Frederick tried to chase after her, only to be stopped by the others. Lord Jackson chastised furiously, “Frederick, you’re such a useless grandson! I can’t tolerate your antics any longer! It’s fine if you toyed around with those wh*res and b*tches in the past, but now, you’ve actually presented your heart on a platter to that vixen! I’m definitely teaching you an unforgettable lesson! Take him back to the manor! Let him kneel in the family crypt for the time being! I want his dead grandmother and parents to see the kind of a man he’s grown into!”
“Yes, sir!”
The butler and the rest of his subordinates complied with his order immediately. Meanwhile, Tina walked on the street on her own. The night breeze was incredibly chilly, making her wrap her arms around herself and tighten her clothes immediately.
Freesia was such a huge city, but there was nowhere for her to go…
At the moment, she looked quite lost. A few sleazy figures appeared in front of her all of a sudden and blocked her way. “Hey, sweetie! Where are you going on your lonesome?” “It’s so dangerous out here around this time of night! Why don’t we walk you to your destination?”
The ones standing in front of Tina were drunkards who stank of booze. They pretended to be drunk in order to have their way with Tina.
Her expression remained calm despite the confrontation. She watched them extend their hands toward her. The next moment those guys knew, a bloodcurdling scream echoed. “Argh!”
One of the hooligans felt intense pain racking up his arm as he howled in pain. When he noticed the bright blood coating his hand, he couldn’t help but scream in fear. “Y-Y-You…”
Tina was seen wielding an incredibly sharp blade. The other hooligans quickly scrambled away from her out of fear.
She could only smile at their retreating backs. Though her smile was feeble, it also held a trace of mockery.
