Chapter 64
Pearl approached Samuel, eager and ecstatic. She couldn‘t wait to embrace him.
But it was different from Samuel. The moment he laid his eyes on the unfamiliar woman in front of him, Samuel‘s expression darkened immediately.
“Who are you?!” he demanded.
Pain flared from Pearl‘s neck. The next thing she knew, Samuel had gripped her by her throat and was strangling her. The sudden attack scared her out of her wits. “M–Mr. Langford, please don‘t hurt me! It‘s me! I–I‘m Pearl Lynd!” she choked out in desperation Samuel had already known all about Tina‘s background. Thus, he quickly recognized Pearl as Tina’s younger sister.
“Why are you here?” His chilly gaze looked like it could easily swallow Pearl whole. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Pearl was so frightened that she kept shivering uncontrollably. All she could think about at that moment was to blame someone else for what happened. She screamed, “Please don‘t kill me, Mr. Langford! Tina was the one who told me to come here! I didn‘t mean to seduce you!
This is all her idea!”
Before she could finish her words, Samuel tossed her to the side. His expression at that moment was incredibly frightening. He didn‘t expect Tina to be this bold.
It wasn‘t enough that she was plotting on her own, but to think that she would arrange a meeting between him and someone from the Lynd family... “Get the hell out of here!” Samuel roared, livid. “Y– Yes, Mr. Langford!” Pearl scrambled up to her feet as quickly as she could before stumbling out of backstage.
Everyone was stunned when she appeared from backstage. They didn‘t expect to see a ragged – looking woman running out.
Madam Langford was shocked as well. She knew right away that something went wrong. Samuel had never returned from backstage for so long. Not to mention, a crazed woman had just run out of the same spot. The sudden change of events caused an uproar to tear through the lobby.
Everyone was whispering among themselves, unsure of what was going on.
Meanwhile, Madam Langford couldn‘t wait any longer.
She was here to give Tina a surprise by announcing her engagement to Samuel, so that Tina‘s identity as the future Mrs. Langford could be confirmed.
“What‘s going on I need to personally check it out,” she said in a hurry, making her way backstage Cindy also realized that something had gone terribly wrong. She could recognize at first glance that the haggard woman who ran out of the backstage earlier was Tina‘s younger sister, Pearl Judging from the situation, that meant Tina must be in trouble. ‘Hooray! God has been watching over me!‘ she cheered inwardly, overjoyed. Eager, she offered, “Grandma Langford, let me give you a hand. We can go there together.” When Madam Langford arrived backstage, she saw Samuel standing there all alone. “What happened, Samuel? Where did Tina go?” she demanded, anxious. The moment Samuel noticed how worried his grandmother was about Tina, his desire to kill that wretched woman grew tenfold.
Madam Langford cared about Tina so much to the point that she wanted to give her a nice surprise. Yet, what did Tina do to repay her efforts? That wretched woman treated the banquet like an idiotic game. She even hatched a plan and tried to push her sister into the Langford family as well. “Tina Lynd isn‘t deserving of the position as Mrs. Langford,” he remarked coldly. Madam Langford‘s ire grew upon
hearing that comment. “What nonsense are you talking about, Samuel? Hurry and call her out...” “She won‘t be coming, Grandma!” Samuel interjected coldly, his voice harsh. “I can‘t sit by and watch that woman make a fool out of you! I‘ll chase her out of the Langford family right away!”
Madam Langford‘s health had been poor from the start. At that moment, Samuel‘s attitude angered her to no end.
“Samuel, you... you unfilial little...! How dare you speak ill of Tina that way?! You...!” Before she could finish her sentence, she clutched her chest and collapsed to the floor.
