Chapter 26
“Oh!”
Pearl pretended to slip and fall right into Sandy’s arms, splashing the glass of water she was holding all over his pants.
“Oh, gosh, I’m so sorry, Mr. Shaw—I’ll clean it for you…”
Nonetheless, Sandy had reached the limit of his patience.
“Someone get in here!”
***
Minutes later, a shrieking Pearl was thrown into the mansion swimming pool to clear her head and was then chased out of the mansion raggedly.
“Mess around again next time, and we won’t stop at clearing your head.” Sandy’s voice was dripping with malicious threat.
Pearl hastily made her retreat after the punishment, hatred filling her gaze.
She had never been so miserable since she was a child. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
‘Tina Lynd! This was all your fault!’ she thought vengefully, and schemed to return the favor tenfold when she gets the chance!
***
Near the mansion, a figure turned and headed into an alley before dialing a number.
“Miss Young, that woman was chased away no sooner after she made it in…”
As a matter of fact, the reason Pearl knew the address to Tina’s mansion was because Cindy had texted it to her anonymously.
She had believed that Pearl would prove slightly useful, only for Pearl to prove herself to be worthless.
“Got it,” Cindy replied coolly.
“What about Mr. Langford? I heard that he’s coming to this mansion tonight. Aren’t you worried, Miss Young?”
“Save it. I naturally have my own plans.”
Cindy hung up, her gaze dripping with venom.
She would never let the wretch named Tina win! Samuel belonged to her and her alone!
***
To tell the truth, Tina had never expected Pearl to be chased out of the mansion in such fashion.
Still, Samuel did not arrive even after night arrived, and she couldn’t help asking, “Is he really coming?” “He’s still having a meeting,” Sandy replied.
Tina, however, was so groggy she yawned repeatedly. “Can I take a nap?”
“Well, if Mr. Langford returns only to find that you’re not there to receive him…”
Sandy let his sentence trail off, but he might as well have said the next part: the consequences would be severe if Samuel gets angry.
“Alright, alright, I’got it.”
Tina was speechless-was Samuel some sort of emperor, demanding her to receive him at the gates without the hope for a nap?
Nonetheless, a car eventually arrived outside the mansion.
Samuel finally showed up. He immediately found Tina, who was nodding off while standing.
Frowning, he gestured for everyone around them to stay quiet while he slowly made his way towards Tina, and growled in front of her, “Tina Lynd.”
“Shut up. I’m so sleepy,” she grumbled.
Samuel chuckled coolly. “Keep sleeping and I’ll let you sleep with the fishes!”
Tina immediately woke up with a start, her head clearing up completely right then.
She saw Samuel glowering, and promptly explained; “I didn’t mean to fall asleep… I was waiting the whole night for you, and you only arrived past midnight…” There was grief in her tone, like a wife complaining about her husband returning home late.
