Chapter 298 After shoving Tina into the man–made lake, the servant stood on the bank and watched silently as Tina struggled in the water.
After making sure that Tina didn‘t know how to swim and watching her struggle, the servant said gleefully, “This is what happens to those who offend Mrs. Langford. I don‘t think you’ll get to spend all that money anymore, you unlucky wretch!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who knows how many pretty girls have died in this lake. They all tried and failed to get close to Mr. Langford. You‘ll be the first ugly one. You should feel proud!” “No… Save me...!” “There‘s no one here to save you. You can scream all you want, but it‘s pointless. Someone will fish your body out tomorrow!” Seeing that Tina‘s struggling was weaker now, the servant left. She was pleased, certain that Tina would drown in a moment.
After being thrown into the sea with her daughter under Samuel‘s orders five years ago, Tina had developed a fear of water. It was because of this that she could never learn to swim. Who would have thought that her life would be at risk again? And she was drowning, too!
Tina didn‘t want to die. She wanted to live.
However, the villa‘s manmade lake was so deep that it might as well be bottomless. She felt as though her body was made of lead as she kept sinking. Her strength was quickly fading away... Just then, a sturdy figure leapt into the water with a splash and retrieved Tina from the watery depths. The second she got ashore, Tina slumped and started coughing desperately. She spat out all the water that she had inadvertently drunk. She was now in an utter mess, her disguise lost to the water. Her baggy clothes stuck close to her figure from the water, her slim waist making her fragile and pitiful. As Tina coughed, her mind fell into a blur. Exhaustion settled as her strength failed her. Laying on the ground, she could just barely see a pair of men‘s shoes in front of her. She raised her head weakly and said,
“Thank...you...” Yet at that moment, Tina‘s words of gratitude suddenly cut off. This was because she finally noticed who was standing before her. It was Samuel Langford. Even worse was the sharpness in Samuel‘s eyes as they regarded her loftily from above.
Tina could see the way she looked through his eyes.
Her disguise was completely gone.
Samuel wasn‘t angry. Instead, he was calm in a way he had never been before as he regarded the haggard woman before her.
Laughing coldly, he hissed, “You dare show up before me, Tina Lynd?” At that moment, all the blood in Tina froze. A buzzing noise filled her mind. Between certain death in the water and life in Samuel’s hands, Tina knew she was in trouble either way! Thoroughly soaked, Tina shivered. Whether it was from the cold or the fear was unknown. Samuel shifted his gaze away from the accursed woman and looked at the bags scattered around. “So you‘re that designer, Linda?”
No wonder he couldn‘t find that d*mned woman! Apparently, she had changed her name and transformed from Tina Lynd into this designer, Linda.
No wonder he couldn‘t locate Tina after the incident in the slums. It seemed she had made preparations to hide by his side early on. “Good job, Tina. You‘ve still got it,” Samuel spat. “Every time you put on an act, it‘s always so unexpected and so entertaining.”
