Chapter 130 “Oh? Aren’t you Miss Lynd? Today’s not a weekend. What are you doing here? Aren’t you going to work? Is there something you wish to discuss with the director?” The security guard in front of the orphanage recognized Tina instantly. He was surprised to see her there.
It was only then that Tina realized she had walked all the way to Loving Heart Orphanage. She didn’t care about the Langfords’ opinions of her. All she wanted was to not make the people she cared about worry for her.
“I just happened to pass by. There’s no need to bother Madam Woods…”
Tina was about to turn and leave before she remembered something.
“Oh, right! I’m here to look for something that I left some time ago.” The security guard didn’t suspect her motives at all. Tina was a kind-hearted woman who always dropped by to help out the orphanage personnel. Not to mention, she had a heart of gold. Naturally, she was accepted as a member of the orphanage.
“Go ahead.”
Tina walked all the way to the place she had tidied up the pictures. There, she started searching for that particular picture with the necklace. Soon, she found the old picture of herself. It was evident that she was wearing a blue crystal shell necklace in the past. Unfortunately, that was the only picture of her, and it was in low quality to boot. She could only see the vague outline of the necklace. Tina gritted her teeth angrily. All of her childhood possessions had been snatched away by Pearl a long time ago. That beautiful necklace must be part of the latter’s loot as well.
It looked like she would have to visit Pearl. Once she got back her necklace, she would be one step closer to discovering her own background.
Tina decided to not waste any time. She stopped by a cheap café and dialed Pearl’s number.
“Hello? Who’s this?” Pearl asked after answering the call.
“It’s me, Tina.”
“Tina?!” Pearl didn’t hesitate to shriek into her phone. “You f*cking b*tch! I was worried about not being able to find you! Turns out you have the guts to find me instead!”
“The reason I’m calling you today is because I have something to discuss with you. Come over to the café, Tina said calmly, not wanting to start an argument with Pearl over the phone.
“Are you planning to get revenge on me?” Pearl asked suspiciously. “I heard a man paid your debt off for you and took you away. You must have seduced that guy, right? I’m not falling for your lies this time!”
Tina couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. She said, “Pearl, I’m not as vicious as you. I just have some questions to ask. It doesn’t matter to me if you come or not.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“What the hell is that attitude, huh? You’re just a dog that our family took in! You…”
Tina hung up on Pearl immediately. She was very sure that the latter would most definitely come. When they were still children, Pearl used to cause trouble for Tina because she disliked Tina from the start. Now that Tina had finally left the Lynd family and led a comfortable life of her own, there was no way her sister would let her go just like that.
As expected, Pearl showed up at the café some time later.
“Hey, Tina. Looks like your life is quite difficult now, huh? Your clothes look so shabby! Is your sugar daddy so stingy that he refuses to give you money to buy new clothes?” The moment Pearl laid her eyes on Tina, she began mocking Tina relentlessly. Tina couldn’t be bothered to care about Pearl’s childish insults. She pulled out the picture from the orphanage and said, “This is a picture of me when I was still a
little girl. You should remember the necklace I was wearing, right? I want it back.” “You want this necklace?” Pearl cast a glance at the picture and recognized it immediately. She had snatched the necklace away from Tina on Tina’s first day with the Lynd family. After that, she forgot where she had thrown the necklace to.
However, it was impossible for Pearl to tell Tina the truth. An idea popped into her head and she said with a cackle, “You want it? Fine! Pay for it!”
