Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 24

Pearl promptly walked up to Sandy and said, “You must be Mr. Shaw, Mr. Langford’s assistant! I’m Pearl Lynd-a dear sister to Tina here. That was all just a misunderstanding, sorry for making a scene.”

Sandy ignored everything she said, however, and turned to ask Tina, “Is that all really a misunderstanding?”

To Sandy, Tina was Samuel’s woman and absolutely must not be bullied, because that was equal to a slap to Samuel’s face.

“She knocked the bucket over and blamed me for it,” Tina replied.

“Don’t lie!” Pearl snapped in distress. “I know you’ve always been jealous that I’m a biological child to our parents, but you can’t lie like this in front of Mr. Langford’s assistant!”.

“We just have to check the cameras to see if it’s a lie,” Sandy said right then.

“Ah, I just remembered that our parents are waiting for us upstairs…” Pearl tried to flee right away, but the bodyguards that came with Sandy cut off her escape immediately.

At the same time, Sandy snorted. “Since your parents are here, we’ll ask them to join us while we get to the bottom of this!”

The turn of events left Pearl dumbstruck.

Wasn’t Tina supposed to be dumped by Mr. Shaw, which was why she was working at this hotel?

And she was just trying to vent a little irritation-how did things turn out like this?!

Soon, Jonah and Ellen were asked to join them even as they were left confused, and everyone watched as the footage from the cameras were replayed.

It was only too obvious that Pearl had started the argument and knocked over Tina’s bucket, while blaming Tina for everything in front of the manager…

“Oh, we’re family! It’s all just a prank!” Jonah tried to explain as cold sweat filled his forehead.

Ellen nodded repeatedly as well. “That’s right! Mr. Shaw, please forgive Pearl—she didn’t mean it!”

Pearl quickly made a miserable face as well. “I really didn’t mean it, Mr. Shaw…”

Nonetheless, Sandy asked, “How shall we proceed, Miss Tina?”

At those words, the family of three promptly turned towards Tina. “Oh, Tina, we are all family, right? You don’t have to go that far…”

Tina wanted to laugh right then. Don’t go that far? Who had started the trouble in the first place?

“I was almost slapped because of her. I don’t mind forgiving her after seeing her slapped!”

“Tina Lynd!” Pearl cried in disbelief. “You weren’t slapped, why—”.

Sandy, however, had no intention of dragging out this drama with the Lynds. It would be on his head if Samuel runs out of patience!

“Go! Slap her ten times!”

Having received the order, one of the bodyguards restrained Pearl while the other slapped her a resounding ten times!

Pearl was left dazed and seeing stars, unable to even breath a gasp of pain.

“I don’t want this to happen ever again!” he barked, and told Tina, “Come with me.”

Tina ņodded repeatedly-Sandy must have come looking for her under Samuel’s orders anyway.

Catching up to Sandy while reminiscing about what had just happened, she exclaimed chipperly, “Thanks for your help!”

“You should thank Mr. Langford instead—I’m not the one who helped you,” Sandy replied.

“Oh, that’s true.” Tina became even more grateful towards Samuel just then. “He wants to see me now?”

“His instructions were for you to return to the mansion for now. He’ll meet you once he’s

free.”

“Alright, no problem.”

With that, Tina returned to live at the mansion once more. However, while she was under the impression that she would see Samuel soon, it turned out that he had gone on an urgent business trip.

A few days later, she received a call from the hospital and was going to visit Sylvia, only to run into a shady figure blocking her way…
