Pearl was soon brought backstage. The waiter then told her, “In just a few moments, you‘ll be able to meet Mr. Langford.”
Pearl was nervous and excited at the same time, feeling that she had made the right decision by attending the banquet. She knew Samuel would definitely be attracted to her.
‘Oh, Tina! I‘m finally more superior than you!‘ she thought smugly.
At that time, the banquet was bustling with conversations and laughter.
Samuel‘s every move attracted everyone‘s attention. It was as if he was a natural king; his aura was so domineering that people couldn‘t help but want to submit to him.
Cindy happened to be staring at him with a lovesick expression. She vowed to capture his heart once and for all.
She was the only woman worthy enough to stand next to Samuel. Only she would become the king‘s beloved queen.
More noises erupted from the outside at that moment.
“Madam Langford is here!”
Cindy wasn‘t the only one surprised by the announcement. The majority of Freesia‘s elites appeared quite astonished as well.
Wasn’t the elderly woman supposed to be hospitalized due to her poor health? Why would she be here?
However, the fact that Madam Langford had made her appearance still stood. Cindy quickly approached the elderly woman to help her into the lobby. “Grandma Langford, why did you come here?” she asked. “Why are you here?” Madam Langford asked in response, a deep frown already set on her features the moment she saw Cindy. Then, she cast a look in Samuel‘s direction. “Where‘s Tina?”
“I thought you wanted to give her a surprise,” Samuel replied lightly. “I asked her to wait for me backstage.” “Very well!” Madam Langford had a wide smile on her face.
When Cindy overheard their conversation circling around Tina, she couldn‘t help but ask,“ Samuel, what are you and Grandma talking about? What surprise do you have in store for Miss Lynd? Why didn‘t I know anything about this?” But Madam Langford just harrumphed and snapped, “You‘ll find out later.” Suddenly, Cindy had an ominous feeling pooling at the pit of her stomach. She watched in trepidation as Madam Langford walked up the stage. “The reason I came here is because I have an important announcement to make,” the elderly Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
woman began seriously. “Everyone here knows that all three generations of the Langlord family have only produced an heir each. All these years, Samuel never brought home a partner, which worries me greatly. Thus, I felt I should take the initiative to break some good news to all of you on this fortuitous day. The Langford family is finally welcoming the future Mrs. Langford. Tonight will be her first time making a public appearance.” Just as Madam Langford finished speaking that sentence, Cindy‘s face paled immediately.
‘No! This is impossible! Why did Grandma decide to do this?!‘ she thought in alarm.
A quick glance in Samuel‘s direction told Cindy that he wasn‘t opposed to the idea of marriage at all. That meant he had already known about the decision right from the start. So, this was the surprise meant for Tina?
Cindy wasn‘t the only shocked one. Numerous pairs of eyes turned to look at her, various degrees of surprise flashing in their orbs. They initially thought that she would be the future Mrs. Langford. Based on the words “first public appearance“, this meant that the real fiancée was someone else.
Cindy was the only woman who stayed by Samuel‘s side over the past decade. Naturally, everyone had assumed that she would become the future Mrs. Langford. None of them could have expected the shocking announcement that blew them out of the water. At that moment, Cindy felt her hatred for Madam Langford grow. Why was that d*mned old witch siding with Tina all the time, to the point that she would humiliate Cindy in front of everyone?
“Now, I‘ll introduce my future granddaughter–in–law to everyone. Samuel, hurry and invite her up the stage,” Madam Langford continued with a smile. Samuel approached the backstage, ready to fetch Tina. Everyone gazed at the backstage curiously. They wanted to see for themselves just how special Samuel‘s fiancée was. After all, she was the one who obtained Madam Langford‘s blessings to marry into the family. At the same time, murderous intent flashed in Cindy‘s eyes. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to kill Tina with her own hands. Only by tearing Tina‘s skin from her bones would Cindy be able to soothe the tumbling rage in her heart.
On the other hand, Pearl had been waiting impatiently backstage. The moment she saw the door being opened, she sprang to her feet.
The first thing she saw was Samuel approaching her slowly, which excited her even more. “Mr. Langford, you‘re here!” she called out in glee. ‘Oh my god! He‘s really Samuel Langford in the flesh! He actually showed up in front of me!’
