Chapter 179
After retrieving her bag, Tina didn’t dare to linger in that area anymore. She went to the sidewalk in a hurry and tried to flag a taxi home.
However, a Stretch Lincoln Limousine suddenly pulled up in front of her. A few men in black got out of the car swiftly.
Surprised by the sudden turn of events, Tina immediately backed away from the men, her hand itching to pull out the blade that she carried with her at all times.
Unexpectedly, these men weren’t there to cause trouble for her. Instead, they said respectfully, “Mrs. Langford, please come with us.” Tina still looked vigilant. “What Mrs. Langford? I don’t know you guys!”
“Mrs. Langford, please don’t misunderstand us. Mr. Langford has prepared a surprise for you,” the men explained hastily. A deep frown appeared on Tina’s face. She would never believe in such nonsense.
As if Samuel would prepare a surprise for her!
He hated her so much, after all. If it was a surprise, then it would be a nasty one. There was a chance he might sell her to the human trafficking ring when she least expected it.
Tina didn’t want to pay the men in black any attention, so she turned on her heel and started walking away. Since those men couldn’t persuade Tina to go with them, they had no choice but to dial Samuel’s number.
“Mr. Langford, what should we do? Mrs. Langford doesn’t trust us at all…”
A few minutes later, Tina’s phone started ringing. Samuel commanded in a cold tone, “Tina, turn around and get into the car right now!” “Why do I have to get into the car? Where am I going?” “It’s a secret.”
“Are you seriously going to sell me?” Tina looked hypervigilant at that moment. She decided to ask, “If you don’t explain everything to me, I won’t get into the car!”
“What do you mean by that? Do I look like the type of person who does that?” “Of course…” That answer belted out of Tina’s mouth before she knew it. At the same time, she was afraid of pissing Samuel off, so she quickly changed her stance. “I’m worried about my own safety, all right? What will Grandma do if something bad happens to me?”
“Excellent. You’re actually using my own grandmother against me.” Samuel sounded furious at that time. He really wanted to strangle Tina on the spot, consequences be d*mned.
“Woman, I already told you, didn’t I? This is a surprise. I’ll give you three more seconds to get into the car. Otherwise, I don’t mind telling my subordinates to sell you.”
“I… You….” novelbin
No matter how reluctant Tina was, she had no choice but to get into Samuel’s car. Anxiety filled her heart throughout the journey. A short while later, the car slowed down to a stop right in front of a fancy hotel,
Samuel’s figure could be seen standing a short distance away. Despite that, Tina could still feel the cold aura rolling off his form. He looked like he was going to kill someone anytime soon.
“Follow me,” he ordered coldly. Tina had the courage to sass back over the phone, but now, she could only shrink away from him and obey his every command.
She followed him into an elevator that took them all the way to the top floor. The moment the elevator doors were opened, the first thing she saw was countless flowers blooming in front of her. They were emitting a faint floral fragrance as well.
This place was the most beautiful establishment the hotel had. It was known as the Sky Garden.
Soft music filled every nook and cranny of the Sky Garden. There was a table positioned in the middle of the garden, fancy cutlery already set atop. Dim light flickered from the candles on the table. All in all, it looked like a scene that could only be seen in dreams.
Tina was stunned for a moment. “What are we doing here?”
“We’re having a candlelit dinner,” Samuel snapped coldly.
A candlelit dinner?
Tina looked even more confused. “But why…?”
She noticed a row of waiters standing next to the table. One of them had a camera in his hands. Realization dawned onto Tina at that very moment. Samuel was just putting on another act for Madam Langford
“Go change out of your clothes.” Samuel cast a glance in Tina’s direction before commenting in displeasure, “Stop wearing such shabby clothes. You make it seem as if the Langfords are treating you badly.”
Tina didn’t answer him. Instead, she started mocking him mentally. He made it sound like she was the real Mrs. Langford all along! It was as if she could change clothes every day without wearing them for the second time like Cindy. Truthfully speaking, if Tina dared to waste money on superficial things in the name of Mrs. Langford, Samuel would be the first one to settle the score with her. She had no intention of dying at all.
