Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Ellen!

“Tina Lynd!” She pointed at Tina’s nose with equal disbelief. “Good! It really is you!”

She grabbed Tina by her hair even before she could run, while exclaiming excitedly, “Talk about falling right into our lap! Well done, you little wretch—hitting Mr. Wallace in the head? We’ve all suffered because of you…”

“That’s your own damn fault!” Tina yelled furiously. “You got your just desserts!”

There was a loud smack as Ellen slapped her across the face then. “You ingrate! We raised you for ten years!”

Tina’s face stung, and she didn’t even need to look to know that Ellen must have torn open old wounds.

Nonetheless, she struggled and bit down viciously on Ellen’s hand, who screamed even as she released her. However, she did not make it far when Jonah and Pearl showed up, both of whom were immediately furious and excited to see Tina.

“Good! That little wretch actually showed her face!” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get her! Don’t let her run away!”

Tina didn’t pick the right route in her desperation, and was cornered even as she despaired.

Ellen chuckled icily. “Let’s see where you’re going to run this time!”

Beside her, Jonah’s words were dripping with venom. “We’ll break her legs before we take her to Mr. Wallace to make up for it this time. Let’s see if she can still run away after that!”

Pearl was absolutely thrilled. “Let me do it! I’ll cripple her!”

As the family was utterly revolting, and Tina spat in anger, “You people will get what you deserve!”

“What we deserve? We deserve a million dollars for raising you over ten years! You’re the one who would end up suffering for your actions!” The three of them laughed out loud with utter catharsis.

Tina gritted her teeth. She couldn’t afford to die, let alone fall into Mr. Wallace’s grasp.

She would live and get her payback against the Lynds, not to mention that Sylvia was waiting for her!

Clenching her fists, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “You simply want a million dollars, right? Let me go, and I’ll get you the money!”

The Lynds did a double take, before laughing out loud—they did not believe her at all.

“Are you crazy? You, getting a million dollars?”

“I can’t, but someone can!” Tina said seriously. “Did you forget about the people who had saved me last time around?!”

On that day, the Lynds must have met the people Samuel had sent to capture her!

Pearl snapped impatiently, “Who cares? I’ll break your legs right now just for the catharsis!”

“Wait!” Jonah promptly stopped Pearl when he remembered what had happened the other day, and glared at Tina as she asked, “Tell me then. Who was it?”

“The Langfords!” Tina cried.

“Impossible!” None of them believed it.

There was only one family bearing that name in this city, and Samuel Langford—the famous Tyrant of Freesia—was a bigwig who could leave the city quaking if he stamped his foot.

Therefore, someone like Tina gaining a connection with that family was absolutely impossible!

“The little wretch must be trying to get away again!” Ellen said, doubting her story completely. “I think we should just break her legs now and take her to Mr. Wallace and end this once and for all!”

“Yes, dad! Don’t be fooled!” Pearl sneered. “Someone like her getting acquainted with the Langfords? She should just say that she knows Samuel Langford! Dream on!”

Tina was naturally aware that they would never believe that she knew Samuel, and hence explained, “Not him—it’s Sandy Shaw, his assistant.”

And with those words, Jonah totally believed her.

After all, if it was not someone as high-ranked as Samuel’s very own assistant, how could she get help and make her escape repeatedly?!

“Can you really get a million dollars?” he asked.

“Yes!” Tina nodded repeatedly. “You could send someone to follow me—you can just take me back if I was lying.”

“Fine.” Jonah promptly agreed to it.

Beside him, both Ellen and Pearl were seething, but they also knew Jonah’s temper and hence remained quiet.

With that, Tina was safe for the moment, and rode with the Lynds to the Langford offices.

Still, Pearl found her very presence upsetting. “That assistant must have been blind… Falling for someone like you?!”

“Right, why don’t you tell that to his face?” Tina countered.

“You!” Pearl laughed despite his frustration. “Hmph! Just you wait!”

After all, if what Tina said was true, the man would definitely fall for Pearl instead when the time comes, and she could trample all over Tina again.

But if she was lying, she was dead meat—ending up in pieces in Mr. Wallace’s hand!

Pearl looked forward to the idea very much.

Eventually, the car stopped outside the Langford offices.

Utterly nervous, Tina walked up to the front desk receptionist and asked, “Hello. I’m looking for Sandy Shaw, Mr. Langford’s assistant…”

The receptionist looked at Tina from head to toe, frowning as she asked, “Do you have an appointment, miss…?”

“No.” Tina shook her head, but added, “I’m Tina Lynd. Please give him a call, and he’ll understand.”

The receptionist smiled but said, “I’m sorry, but you can’t meet him if you don’t have an appointment.”

“But…”

When Tina tried to say more, the receptionist raised a hand and beckoned for a security guard. “Security, could you please come here and show this lady out?”

Tina’s heart clenched. The Lynds were waiting right outside, if she stepped out, her chance would be completely gone.

“Alright, I’ll leave, but could you tell me where the back door is? I’ll go from there!” she pleaded.

The security guard saw her miserable state, and since she wasn’t being stubborn about staying, he said, “Alright, it’s that way—run along now!”

“Okay, thank you!”

Tina promptly ran out the backdoor, her thoughts a mess.

She must see Samuel today, but he was nowhere to be seen. To make matters worse, the Lynds were following her… What was she supposed to do?!

Meanwhile, the Lynds started to get impatient since Tina wasn’t showing up.

“Why isn’t she coming out? Did she run off?”

Jonah also had a bad feeling about it and hence went to the front desk to ask, and was left scowling as he came out.

“The wretch was lying! She ran out of the back door—she wouldn’t have made it far, let’s go!”

At the same time, Tina watched as various cars left one after the other, feeling at once anxious and let down.

When she felt like she could fall asleep from waiting, a familiar car showed up…

She stood up in excitement when she saw the figure stepping out of the car.

It was Samuel! He was finally showing up!

However, a figure moved quicker than Tina did.

It was a woman in a white dress, who dived into Samuel’s arms while exclaiming adorably, “Samuel!”

Tina did a double take, and saw that Samuel wasn’t pushing her away.

Wasn’t it said that Freesia’s most famous tyrant didn’t like women?

Who on earth was that woman, then?!
