Chapter 264 Tina‘s blood froze in her veins at the sight of the headlights. Who else would come to the rundown district in a luxury car other than people affiliated with a certain someone?
They must be Samuel‘s men, ready to apprehend her at first sight! While the car approached her from the front, sounds of people cursing at her could be heard from behind. They had discovered she had escaped, and were in hot pursuit.
Gritting her teeth, Tina crouched behind a trash can filled to the brim with garbage that This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
resembled a small mountain. She covered her mouth and tried very hard not to gag in order to avoid the pursuers. Soon, the luxury car stopped at the roadside. A group of bodyguards pooled out of the car immediately. “Were you the one who discovered the thief?” they asked.
The woman pulled out the pigeon egg diamond ring and exclaimed, “That‘s right! I found her. She‘s inside the building.”
“Take us there!” said the chief bodyguard.
However, the woman refused to budge. “Hand me the money, and I‘ll give the thief and the ring to you.”
The bodyguards pulled out their guns immediately, the barrels all emitting a dangerous aura. “We will give you the reward. But if you dare to delay Mr. Langford, not even dying a hundred times in a row can appease his anger.”
The woman grew so frightened that her knees buckled together. For a moment, she thought she was going to urinate on the spot. “1–1 didn‘t mean it like that! I‘ll take you there right now!” But before the woman could lead the bodyguards into the building, the two men appeared. The woman‘s expression changed immediately. “Why are you two here? Didn‘t I tell you to guard the thief?! She‘s worth four million dollars, demn it! Four million dollars! How could you let her escape?” “It‘s all your fault! You didn‘t
return for so long! Plus, you didn‘t call or text anyone, so we got worried if you‘d keep all of the money to yourself...” The men still tried to rebuke the woman. “I‘ll kill you!”
The woman‘s expression was twisted in an ugly fashion. She thought she was going to exact vengeance by sending Tina to hell, but she didn‘t expect her hopes and dreams to be dashed by the men.
They started fighting each other. The bodyguards didn‘t bother to look at them. They quickly rushed into the rundown building and started looking for Tina‘s tracks. When they were unable to find anything, they spread out to search for her.
“She‘s alone right now, so she can‘t have gone far!” After the bodyguards were gone, a silhouette crawled out from behind the pile of trash that was stinking up the area. Having tolerated the awful smell for so long, Tina finally ran to the sidewalk and started vomiting until her stomach was clear of gastric acid. She looked extremely ragged. Yet she had nowhere else to go, so she could only wander on the streets like a lost soul.
There were a lot of people walking on the street at that time. The moment they saw her, disgust filled their eyes and they hurriedly walked away from her. At that moment, Tina looked like a homeless person. Not only was her hair messy and filthy, but she also carried a terrible stench due to her hiding spot. Even if Samuel were to appear in front of her right now, he wouldn‘t have recognized her. She walked into a phone store numbly. The disgusted shop assistant watched as she used her fake ID to buy a phone for herself. She had no idea how long she would be able to survive in this world, nor did she know if she ever had the chance to see Kara again in the future.
Thus, she wanted to listen to her daughter‘s voice and look at her sweet face.
Tina activated the phone. Before she could call a number, someone else called her instead. She accidentally hit the green button, which caused her to panic. Cindy‘s voice could be heard drifting from the other end of the line. “Linda, I heard you‘ve gone back to your hometown. What‘s the meaning of this?! Didn‘t I tell you that you‘re to be my private designer? Are you trying to put on airs around me?”
Tina was stunned to hear the angry voice.
How could Cindy call her at a time like this? Could it be that her identity wasn‘t exposed yet?
