Chapter 284 Raymond‘s gaze was filled with inquisition as his eyes followed Tina‘s retreating figure.
Right then, a voice came from behind him.
“Mr. Choen!” Cindy hurried over, pulling Samuel‘s hand. Excitedly, she said, “I never expected that you‘d come out into the open after staying behind the scenes for so many years! It really is such an honor!” Raymond replied calmly, “I wouldn‘t dare reject Mr. Langford‘s invitation.”
“Mr. Cohen, you’re the one who brought Samuel and I together. Even if you didn‘t accept the invitation, Samuel wouldn‘t have done anything. Isn‘t that right, Samuel?” Cindy looked over at Samuel, her tone affectionate. Samuel didn‘t answer. Instead, he surreptitiously pulled his arm from her grasp.
He said coldly, “I have some matters to discuss. Why don‘t you relax with Keith for a bit?”
Cindy‘s delighted expression froze. She knew Samuel was purposefully chasing her off, but she didn‘t dare disobey him. Thus, she took Keith with her and left. “What would you like to discuss with me, Mr. Langford?” Raymond asked curiously. “I know you‘re very well connected, Mr. Cohen. For someone in the news business, investigating someone should be no problem for you.” Samuel‘s tone was icy as he brought out a photograph.
“I want to find her.”
When Raymond saw the woman in the picture, his face turned ashen.
“Isn‘t she already dead?”
It was exactly because of this woman‘s death that Samuel‘s attitude toward Cindy had changed so much.
What was all this about now?
Samuel only gave a sneer in reply. “That‘s right, everyone thinks she‘s dead. Only, I personally saw her running about, quite alive.”
“Now, that woman‘s hiding in goodness–knows–where. I‘ve dispatched my men to find her, but no one‘s picked up any trace of her.” At the thought of that d*mned woman, Samuel could barely control the rage within him. Raymond himself never anticipated that the events of five years ago would have such a twist today.
He hesitated before saying, “It‘s no issue to contact some old friends. I just have to put in a few words to them. The thing is, I wonder what you plan to do once you get your hands on her, Mr. Langford.”
“I have some ideas.” Samuel‘s tone was as frigid as the Arctic ice.
Raymond wanted to convince Samuel otherwise, but kept his mouth shut at the other man‘s expression. After leaving the ballroom, Tina hid herself in one of the rooms the hotel had arranged specifically for the guests. She cleaned up a bit, removing the haphazardly applied makeup from her face. Then, she video called Kara.

“Mommy!” The second the video call went through, Kara called out excitedly. “Mommy, you‘re pretty again!” “You are too, Kara. Have you gotten taller recently?” “That‘s right. I‘m growing now! Uncle even took me to the mall to shop for clothes a few days ago. Look!” On the screen, Kara twirled to show off her new clothes to Tina. Tina felt even more distressed.
her daughter‘s side. She could only watch from afar as Kara grew up. Just then, there came a knock at the door. Surprised, Tina asked, “Who is it?” Was it room service?
However, there were no voices from beyond the door. novelbin
Feeling that it was a little strange, Tina grew wary. She said to her daughter, “Wait for me a second, Kara. I‘m going to take a look.” “Okay.” Kara waited obediently.
Tina walked over and looked through the peephole to see who was on the other side of the door.
Momentarily stunned, she quickly opened the door after recovering.
“Why are you here? Is something the matter?”
