Chapter 8

That little wretch had actually hit his head! It was lucky she had missed his vitals, or he would have died on the spot!

 

Even as he nursed the terrible grudge, Mr. Wallace swore that he would catch that wretch even if he had to search high and low, just to tear her into little pieces!

 

Nonetheless, the people in the car before him weren’t reacting at all.

 

Mr. Wallace’s irk grew, but just as he and his goons were about to hit the car, a cool voice spoke, “Hah! Someone is actually carjacking me in this day and age?!”

 

Mr. Wallace was taken aback. Why did that voice sound so familiar?!

 

Then, when he finally saw the figure sitting at the backseat, Samuel’s hawkish glare left him sweating in fear!

 

He must have lost his head because of that little wretch, and tried to stop the car of the infamous Tyrant of Freesia!

 

“Oh, it’s you, Mr. Langford…” Mr. Wallace’s legs turned to jelly and he almost dropped to knees. “It’s just a misunderstanding, we’ll leave right now!”

 

With that, he made way, and Samuel’s chauffeur slowly drove off.

 

“Keep looking!” Mr. Wallace barked afterwards. “That wretch wouldn’t have gotten far—stop every car nearby, and find her even if you had to search high and low!”

 

Unbeknown to him, Tina was inside Samuel’s car all along, and escaped from right under his nose…

 

Nonetheless, Samuel coldly growled afterwards, “Get off.”

 

Tina promptly pulled away from him, but while she had expected him to say something, she simply kept staring outside the window and said nothing.

 

She breathed a sigh of relief.

 

That was when Samuel’s car stopped outside Loving Heart Orphanage, leaving Tina a little surprised—what was he going to do here?

 

Samuel’s chauffeur alighted just then, and returned after a while, shaking his head as he told Samuel, “She’s not here, Mr. Langford. She must have left early.”

 

Tina was actually perplexed. Was he looking for someone in the orphanage?

 

“Mr. Langford, I…”

 

She wanted to tell him that she was a volunteer at the orphanage, and he could ask her if he had a question.

 

However, even before she could begin, Samuel growled hostilely, “Tina Lynd—keep your mouth shut if you don’t want me to throw you out of the car.”

 

Naturally, Tina did.
