Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Tina didn’t mind the arrangement. Regardless of who wanted to monitor her, be it Samuel or Cindy, she would leave the Langford family once two months were up. “Sure. It’s up to you to make those arrangements, Miss Young.” Tina walked out of the hospital, only to see a car parked in front of her. The bodyguard, who got out of the car, greeted her respectfully. “Hello, Miss Lynd. I’m Victor Miller, your bodyguard. I’ll be at your service from now on.”
Soon, Tina got into the car and returned to the mansion.
In the ward, Madam Langford was lecturing Samuel with a stern look
“Samuel. Now that Tina’s your woman, you need to be responsible for her, alright?”
“Yes, I understand,” he replied.
“I know Cindy saved you in the past, and that you’ve been treating her like your little sister because of that. However, I don’t think she views you the same way,” Madam Langford continued.
The elderly woman wasn’t blind. She could see through Cindy’s intentions.
All this time, she had been pretending to be ignorant to Cindy’s little tricks. After all, there weren’t any women hanging around Samuel. Since Cindy wanted to please him that much, Madam Langford allowed her to do as she pleased.
But now, the elderly woman viewed Tina as her future granddaughter-in-law.
As the future Mrs. Langford, Tina mustn’t be harassed by anyone at all. “Tina is a nice woman. Not to mention, she’s very considerate of others. These are her virtues and weaknesses. I don’t want anyone bullying her. Do you understand what I mean?”
Samuel closed his eyes in response.
Tina? Nice? Considerate?
Her acting skills were stellar. She had successfully fooled Madam Langford into thinking that she was a nice and innocent woman.
“Yes, I understand.”
However, Samuel’s response didn’t reassure Madam Langford at all. “By the way, isn’t our company hosting a banquet in a few days? All of the elites of Freesia will be there. It’s a good opportunity to bring Tina and introduce her to everyone. It also serves the purpose of making other women give up on pining after you.” Samuel frowned immediately. He didn’t agree with his grandmother on this suggestion.” Banquets like this don’t suit her, Grandma,” he protested. “What do you mean by that? Are you disgusted by her background?!” Grandma Langford chided right away, anger taking over her senses. “I’ll be attending the banquet as well, so I can
back her up. Let’s see who still dares to gossip and spread rumors about her by then!”
“Your health’s been poor lately…” “Tina makes me happy! When she’s around, my health improves by leaps and bounds. When she’s not, it’s natural for my health to deteriorate,” Madam Langford argued. “Alright, Grandma. I understand what you’re saying,” Samuel replied. “I’ll take her to the banquet, so don’t worry.”
Upon returning to the mansion, Tina returned to her room to rest. The next dawn, Victor woke her up. “Miss Lynd, please come with me,” he requested. Tina looked slightly dazed as she rubbed her eyes blearily. “Where are we going?” Victor frowned instinctively while staring at the rude and uncouth woman in front of him. If it wasn’t for Tina, he wouldn’t have been punished by Samuel. Fortunately, Cindy was kind enough to protect him. Now that Tina had taken over Cindy’s rightful position in the Langford family,
all Victor felt when he looked at her was disgust. Thus, his tone gradually became one of impatience. “This is Mr. Langford’s order. Please stop dilly-dallying around, Miss Lynd,” he said harshly “Oh, alright.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Tina was clearly used to Samuel’s way of doing things. After freshening herself up, she followed Victor out of her room.
Victor took her to a design studio. It was not until a bunch of designers surrounded her and started taking her measurements that Tina realized what was going on. She was there to have her gown custom-made as she would be attending the banquet. “Huh? Am I attending the banquet as well?” she wondered out loud, filled with disbelief.
