Chapter 3

Samuel’s bodyguards were left utterly bemused.

 

Whenever he sent them out for someone’s head, every single one of them would end up panicking, going down on their knees as they begged for mercy—even wetting themselves, in worst-case scenarios.

 

And yet, this young woman who looked soft and fluffy like pancakes wasn’t panicking at all.

 

Actually… Didn’t she look as if she was looking forward to this?!

 

Still, they did not have time to think as they hurriedly brought Tina back to their car.

 

Once they got in, however, Tina looked around and became a little disappointed. “Wait, why am I alone here?”

 

Weren’t they supposed to bring the rest of the Lynds along?

 

Did her plan somehow fail, and Samuel had decided that he only wanted her head?

 

“Orders from above. Mr. Langford wants to meet you alone.”

 

Tina’s head was already dropping dispiritedly, but those words made her excited again. “Really? I get to meet Mr. Langford? He’s really upset, isn’t he?”

 

Afterwards, she tried to pry more information about Samuel, but the bodyguards were professionally trained and stayed silent throughout, so she had to give up.

 

Clenching her fists ever so discreetly, Tina decided that since she was going to meet Samuel again anyway, she could just try harder.

 

It would be too much of a pity if she died alone. She would only profit immensely if every other member of the Lynd family died with her!

At a private premier hospital owned by the Langfords, Sandy Shaw handed a report to Samuel as he said, “Here’s the report after the checkup, Mr. Langford. It seems that you were drugged with sleeping pills…”
