Chapter 25 “You’re a hard woman to find, Tina Lynd! Now stop right there!”
Tina became a little wary. “You again, Pearl? Why are you here? And what’s with that getup?”
Pearl was wearing shades while her head was covered in bandages, and Tina almost thought that she was a mental patient who had escaped from an asylum.
“Thanks to you!” Pearl growled through her teeth. “If your men didn’t slap me over a dozen times, I wouldn’t end up like this!”
“That’s your own fault. What, did you come here today for more?” Tina frowned.
Pearl was obviously wary. Glancing at the luxurious mansion behind Tina, she said bitterly,” How could you forget about your family after you rose to riches? Did you think the grace you owe our family could be paid for with just a million dollars?”
“What on earth do you want?” Tina asked with a raised brow.
“I’ve been watching you in secret for days-you’re alone in this mansion. Mr. Shaw doesn’t come by often, does he?” Pearl said with feigned sincerity. “Since it’s a waste for you to stay i n such a large house, why don’t I move in? You’ll at least have company…”
Naturally, Pearl had planned ahead.
As long as she could move in, she would be able to meet Mr. Shaw. When that happens, Mr. Shaw would see that she was better than Tina, and naturally change his mind… after that, Pearl would use Mr. Shaw’s position to eventually climb up the ranks to reach Samuel, in turn becoming Mrs. Langford…
And yet, Tina ruthlessly crushed her plans. “Dream on, Pearl!”.
“What?!” Pearl exclaimed in disbelief. “I’m doing this for your own good, and you can’t even appreciate that? Why did our family ever take in an ingrate like you?!”
“I’m not just an ingrate-I’m going to hit you too!” Tina warned viciously as she picked up the broom she used for sweeping fallen leaves in the garden. “And I’ll do just that if you don’t leave!”); NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Pearl backed off in fright, and that was when a luxury sedan slowly came to a stop in front of the mansion..
An idea occurred to her right then, and she promptly dropped to the floor, drawing Sandy’s attention.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
“Don’t you remember me, Mr. Shaw? I’m Pearl Lynd, I wanted to apologize to Tina today, but she did this to me… She’s so scary…”
Sandy frowned.
Pearl then explained, “Check the cameras if you don’t believe me, Mr. Shaw! I’m not the one who’s in the wrong this time!”
Sandy, however, had no intention of getting involved with an idiot like her, and hence walked up to Tina, informing her quietly, “Mr. Langford is returning tonight, Miss Lynd. Please prepare accordingly soon.”
Samuel was coming?
Tina then glanced at Pearl just then-she was stubbornly sticking her butt to the floor and refusing to leave, which gave Tina an idea.
Since Pearl wanted to stay so much, she could grant Pearl her wish!
Tina knew that Samuel was a tyrant with a volatile temper, and that Pearl’s fawning would end badly, in turn dragging the rest of the Lynds down with her. When that happens, Tina’s objective would be achieved!
Sandy frowned. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to agree, and therefore told the bodyguards, “Let her in.”
Pearl was under the impression that she managed to charm Sandy, and followed Tina into the kitchen, where she couldn’t resist gloating, “See, Tina? I got in anyway! You must be so afraid right now that I would steal Mr. Shaw from you, just like that ex-boyfriend of yours…”.
Tina rolled her eyes but said nothing. She started to leave with a dishcloth, only for Pearl to intercept her.
“What are you doing?”
“Wiping the table! What are you going to help?”
Noticing that Sandy was sitting beside the table, Pearl promptly snatched the dishcloth away.
“Why should I afford you the pleasure? Let me do it instead!”
Hence, Pearl started to bounce around, never once leaving Sandy’s sight as she wiped the table, made tea for him, and then attempted to give him a shoulder rub. Utterly irritated, he started to leave, which left Pearl distressed.
