Chapter 17
 
Samuel stared coolly at Tina. 

 

 

This was a test—Tina wouldn’t crawl for the black card if she had any dignity.

 

And yet, he proved to have overestimated her.

 

Tina took the car with no hesitation, even asking, “Can I go now?”

 

“Leave!”

 

Samuel’s furious single word was the only response she got.

 

Tina promptly ran away and breathed a sigh of relief.

 

In contrast, such humiliation from Samuel was insignificant in comparison to the humiliation she faced constantly with the Lynds.

 

Moreover, once the Lynds get their money, they would not disturb her, and Sylvia would make a full recovery after her surgery.

 

That was what mattered most!

 

Nonetheless, after Tina left Samuel’s house, a car nearby slowly followed her.

 

The private detective inside called Cindy’s number. “Miss Young, the one you want me to keep an eye on is leaving.”

 

“Where did she go?” Cindy asked.

 

“Mr. Langford’s private residence.”

 

“Alright, good work. Keep following her.”

 

Though Cindy maintained her soft tone, her face turned ashen once she hung up.

 

“Tina Lynd!”

 

Her teeth were clenched, and she wanted nothing less than to dice Tina into a million pieces.

 

Samuel’s private residence? How did that happen?!

 

Cindy had never once managed to set foot there, and she had known Samuel for ten years!

 

And now, not only did Tina jump him, she even got inside his private residence!

 

What trickery did she use to bewitch Samuel?!

 

No, she must not be left alive!

 

“You will die!” Cindy’s words were dripping with utter venom.
