Chapter 35 ‘
Why are they all treating this woman like she‘s some kind of god?‘ Tina thought.
“Alright, I‘ll get on to it.”
With just one glimpse, Tina noticed a woman in a white dress amongst the crowd.
‘That‘s probably Samuel‘s potential girlfriend. She‘s the one everyone‘s referring to as Miss Young,‘ Tina went on speculating
“Hello, Miss Young,” Tina greeted Cindy politely. Right after, she turned to the pantry to brew a pot of tea for Cindy.
Cindy couldn‘t believe her eyes. ‘Why is this b*tch here?!’
Suppressing the urge to smack Tina in the face, Cindy went straight to Samuel‘s office, only to be told that he wasn‘t in yet.
:
She sat in the resting lounge, unable to believe who she had just encountered.
‘What on earth happened? I know that b* tch‘s been pestering Samuel like a parasite, but for her to appear at the company? That‘s just impossible!‘
She hurriedly called the private investigator to ascertain what had happened. However, the private investigator was also in the dark about this situation.
“That‘s impossible! She clearly left the villa and went to the hospital. I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Well, why is she here at the company?” Cindy demanded.
“I saw her entering the hospital, but I couldn‘t get close enough. I was worried Samuel‘s men might notice me. You‘ve heard the rumors, haven‘t you, Miss Young? Mr. Langford isn‘t someone you‘d

want to mess with. I don‘t want to lose my life for a job!”
“You useless b*stard! You‘re fired!” Cindy was so enraged that she accidentally flipped the lunchbox, spilling all its contents over the floor.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door. Tina‘s voice came from outside.
“Miss Young, I‘ve brought your tea. May I come in?”
Cindy tried her best to contain her emotions and regain her composure. She replied calmly, “Come inside.”
When Tina saw the lunchbox and its contents on the floor, she jumped in shock.
“What‘s this?”
“Oh, I accidentally knocked it over.” Cindy smiled apologetically and continued, “Is it alright if you clean it up for me?”
–
“No problem at all, Miss Young,” Tina replied.
Having been treated like a mongrel the entire day, Tina was relieved to have someone treating her with respect.
After she put the teacup on the table, she bent down to clean up the mess.
However, the jade bracelet on her wrist quickly caught Cindy‘s attention.
Cindy stood up immediately and grabbed Tina‘s wrist. “Where did you get this bracelet? Why do you have it?!”
Gone was her calm appearance. She was now shouting at the top of her lungs, her voice a screeching octave. She was so furious, she buried her nails deep into Tina‘s flesh. Her gaze was so threatening that it looked like she wanted nothing better than to murder Tina.
However, Tina didn‘t catch Cindy‘s
threatening glare. Instead, she shoved Cindy‘s hand away with ease.
“That hurts!”
“What happened here?” The manager heard the ruckus from outside and rushed into the lounge.
Cindy regained her meek attitude. She held in her fury and said gently, “It‘s nothing. Her jade bracelet just seemed oddly familiar to me, that‘s why I...” Cindy stuttered, the picture of sweet innocence.
At Cindy‘s awkward words, the manager misunderstood the situation almost immediately.
Knowing that Cindy and Samuel were childhood friends, the manager desperately wanted to get on Cindy‘s good side.
–
Without much thought, she turned to Tina and accused, “Tina, don‘t tell me you‘re committing theft on your first day of work?!”
“I didn‘t steal this!” Tina tried to explain
herself. “Madam Langford gave this to
me!”
Everything was clear to Cindy now.
The reason Madam Langford called Tina wasn‘t because the old lady wanted to teach Tina a lesson.
She even gifted Tina the family heirloom!
At first, Cindy planned to get rid of Tina. Little did she know, her plans had turned against her brilliantly.
