Chapter 317

For a moment, Tina was surprised.

This phone was given to her by Samuel just this morning.

Even her SIM card was brand new. Who would be calling her number at a time like this?

Tina glanced at the screen, quickly realizing that Frederick wasn’t the one calling her. Instead, it was anunknown number.

But before she could pick up the call, two tall figures suddenly appeared behind her and covered hermouth.

Tina never realized that someone would still dare to make a move on her under broad daylight.

She passed out, not having the strength to struggle against them. As she collapsed to the floor in a deadheap, the phone that she was carrying slid out of her hand.

The bodyguards that were dispatched to capture her had already studied her face beforehand, so theywere able to determine her identity immediately.

“She‘s the woman Mr. Langford brought with him last night, right?” “Yes. That‘s right. She‘s the one. Takeher away!” After Tina was taken away, the unknown number called her a few times in a row.

Meanwhile, Samuel was throwing a hissy fit in the study.

His subordinates all had their heads lowered, not even daring to breathe around him.

“Where the hell did she go?!” he snarled.

“Miss Lynd was carrying a bag of clothes just now. She said she was sending them to the laundromat...”

“So she has time to go to the laundromat, but she doesn‘t have time to pick up my call? Good! This iswonderful!”

When Samuel heard the dead tone coming from the other end of the line, he threw the phone against thewall angrily, agitation becoming increasingly obvious on his face. At that moment, he looked beyondfrightening. Having noticed his furious state, the subordinates all wiped cold sweat off their brows.

They all knew that Samuel was diagnosed with insomnia for many years, which made him incrediblybad–tempered. But no matter how busy or tiring work was for him in the past, he had never lost histemper in this manner. To think that he would be enraged by a woman‘s refusal to pick up his calls... Thesubordinates tried to appease Samuel by saying, “Perhaps Miss Lynd is busy with something at themoment. She couldn‘t have run away, right?”

“Run?”

Samuel picked up that term sharply. A dark expression appeared on his face immediately. Right now, hehad two leverages over Tina‘s head. One was Frederick, while the other was Kara. Tina was willing to gothrough humiliation for the sake of those two. She made it seem as if she was unable to live withoutthem.

Then again, Samuel didn‘t exclude the possibility of her putting on an elaborate act just to lower hisguard.

After all, he had seen for himself just how ruthless that woman was. Samuel didn‘t hesitate to order,“Investigate where she is right now!” He strode out of the study right away after issuing that order. Theremaining subordinates could only swap nervous glances after that. “Isn‘t Miss Lynd just an ordinarysecretary? Why did Mr. Langford go to great lengths for her?”

“I think he wouldn‘t be this furious if Mrs. Langford was the one who got into trouble...” “Come on.Remember when Mr. Langford couldn‘t even be bothered to go look for Young Master Keith when he ranaway from home last time?” “She‘s not a secretary, is she? She seems like the Langfords‘ ancestor orsomething!”

At that moment, everyone felt like bursting into tears.

At the same time, they quickly understood something about Samuel. The woman who seemed like aregular secretary must not be offended, no matter what. Otherwise, they would be in deep trouble!Meanwhile, Tina was thrown to the floor and was violently woken up by a pail of ice–cold water.

The moment she opened her eyes, she heard a smug female voice. “So, you‘re finally awake!” “It’syou!” Tina recognized the beautiful secretary that she had met moments ago. Her expression changeddrastically as she asked, “What are you trying to do?”
