Chapter 32
Tina‘s face flushed red from embarrassment. She felt so ashamed, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and shove her head inside. “I left my house quite early today and I didn’t get to eat breakfast yet. That‘s why...”
“You can‘t go on your day with an empty stomach!” Madam Langford admonished with a stern look. She turned to Samuel and said, “Samuel, take Tina somewhere to eat. I‘ve decided! From now on, she‘s my future granddaughter–in–law. As long as I‘m alive, nobody can treat her poorly! Do you understand me?”
Feeling helpless, Samuel had no choice but to oblige.
“I understand, Grandma.” Then, he glanced at Tina and said, “Tina, follow me
now.”

“Okay.” Tina heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, Madam Langford called out to her again.
While holding Tina‘s hand, the old woman removed the jade bracelet on her wrist and slid in on Tina‘s instead.
“This jade bracelet is passed down for generations in the Langford family. It‘s yours now,” Madam Langford explained.
Tina was at loss. “Madam Langford, I can‘t accept this. It‘s too…”
Before Tina could finish her words, Samuel grabbed her wrist, gesturing her to stop refusing. “Grandma wishes to give it to you, so you should accept it.”
He spoke in a calm and peaceful tone, but was deliberately exerting a lot of strength in his grip on Tina‘s wrist. It almost seemed like he was trying to crush her bones.
Chapter 32
Left with no choice, Tina dropped her head low and agreed solemnly, “Thank you, Madam Langford.”
The moment they left the room, Samuel strode forward without uttering a single word. His fury was furious.
Tina trailed behind nervously, not knowing what to say or do. Looking at their route, it didn‘t seem like they were heading to eat, either. So, she broke the silence.
“Mr. Langford...”
All of a sudden, Samuel stopped in his tracks and turned to face her.
Tina didn‘t expect him to turn around so abruptly, and immediately knocked into his sturdy chest
Her riose sore, she let out a gasp and breathed, “I‘m so–“
Before she could even apologize, Samuel
shoved her away with an indignant snarl.
“Tina, I didn‘t expect you to be such a scheming woman! I thought you‘d know your place and stay silent, but you have the audacity to drag my grandmother into this!”
Tina knew that there was some sort of misunderstanding between them. Panicked, she tried to explain herself.
“Mr. Langford, this is all a misunderstanding! Meeting your grandmother that day was just a coincidence...”
“And you expect me to believe that?” Samuel sneered again, suppressing the urge to strangle Tina to death. “Stop pretending to be innocent! How dare you pull dirty tricks on my grandmother!”
Tina was speechless.
Samuel hated Tina to the core. Seething, he threatened, “Let me get this straight. I
.
will never, ever marry you. You‘d better think about how to convince my grandmother otherwise, or else...”
Not only was Tina forced out of bed early in the morning and didn‘t even have a chance to grab breakfast, but she was also humiliated and berated by Samuel at his residence.
The injustice of it all stung her. Thinking about this, fury engulfed her whole and she exploded into a sarcastic retort.
“You‘re right! I‘m a scheming woman who just tricked your grandmother! Now that she‘s taken me in as her future granddaughter–in–law, you have no choice but to listen to me! If you want me to solve this problem, give me money! Else, I‘ll wreak havoc in your life!”
Samuel glared at Tina and growled, “So! This is your true self, isn‘t it? What‘s wrong, are you tired of pretending?”
:
“If you‘re that unhappy, kill me! But before you do it, think about your grandmother‘s health. She‘s already given the family heirloom to me! That just proves how much she likes me. Let‘s make a bet! Let‘s see what‘ll happen if she knows about my demise! I bet her health will deteriorate even further!”
Tina refused to explain herself anymore. Instead, she glared at Samuel and shot words that struck deep into his sensitive
spots.
“Tina... Do you really think I won‘t kill
you?”
With cold blooded eyes and a domineering composure, Samuel took out his gun and aimed straight at Tina‘s head.
Tina squeezed her eyes shut and thought,‘ This is it! This is the day I die!‘
Bang! An ear–splitting gunshot exploded right next to her ear.
