Chapter 23


    Nheless, Tina’s sneaky departure still drew some attention, with Pearl asking suspiciously, “Mother,


    do you see that attendant? She looks just like Tina from the back!”


    Ellen rolled her eyes without even a nce. “Why would she work as an attendant here? She would


    never have been able to afford to pay us a million dors if she didn’t have a patron!”


    “That’s true…” Pearl agreed that she must be seeing things then.


    “Right now, the only thing you have to worry about is how to find Tina,” Ellen said as she patted Pearl’s


    hand. “You’re smart ande from a good family-all Tina would amount to is getting a patron in Mr.


    Langford’s assistant. On the other hand, you just might reach Samuel Langford himself and be Mrs.


    Langford!”


    Thrilled, Pearl started imagining herself as the daughter-inw of the most powerful family i n Freesia.


    “Don’t worry, Mother! I’ll definitely trample Tina beneath my feet!’


    Meanwhile, after excusing herself, Tina was just as expected scolded by her manager, who tasked her


    with cleaning the washroom as punishment.


    He just didn’t know that Tina couldn’t ask for more-at that moment, she couldn’t afford to run into the


    Lynds, since they were definitely going to harass her again!


    As she picked up a bucket and went to work, she soon felt soreness from her back while mopping the


    floor and convulsions from her stomach, leaving her with the urge to vomit.


    Clutching her stomach in pain, Tina, who was under the impression that she only had flesh wounds,


    remembered that she had also been kicked in the stomach the previous night.


    She couldn’t have suffered internal injury, could she?


    “Amazing! It really is you, Tina!” Pearl eximed as she suddenly appeared behind her.“! You’re a hotel


    attendant now? You weren’t dumped, were you?”


    Tina didn’t expect Pearl to find her when she was hiding there, but retorted impatiently regardless, “What


    does that have to do with you?”


    “You ingrate! What are you talking about?! You’re a Lynd!”


    Pearl snapped, and was about to poke Tina’s head with her index finger when Tina firmly pped her


    away. “I’ve paid you the money your family demanded. There’s nothing between u s now!”


    “Nothing between us?! Hah! Dream on!”


    Pearl’s eves darted away, and she suddenly knocked over the bucket beside Tina and shrieked, “Ouch!


    No, please! Stop!”


    Tina’s manager promptly rushed to the scene, and was scared witless by the sight before him.


    “Oh my gosh! What happened, Miss Lynd?!”


    “The attendants in your hotel must be blind!” Pearl cried even as she pointed at her own skirt. “Don’t you


    know how much my clothes are worth?! Now you’ve really done it-I can’t show m y face in public


    anymore!”


    The manager was absolutely furious and snapped at Tina, “What the hell are you doing?! Apologize to


    Miss Lynd right now!”


    “I didn’t do it!” Tina was furious as well, even as her stomach pains worsened.


    Pearl had always med Tina for things she never did since they were children, and more frustratingly,


    everyone else believed Pearl’s lies!


    “What are you talking about?! Are you saying that I was trying to embarrass you, a hotel attendant?!”


    Pearlughed icily.


    Seeing that Tina was not caving to apologize, the manager raised her hand, positioning herself for a p


    in her rage. “Still trying to argue?! You really need some discipline!”


    Tina clenched her jaw and closed her eyes stubbornly. There’s no way she would bow down to Pearl


    However…


    “Stop!” someone bellowed from a distance just then


    The manager immediately recognized the person. “Aren’t you… Mr. Sandy Shaw?”.


    Sandy Shaw?


    Tina opened her eyes to look, and it was indeed the man himself.


    But why was he there? Did that mean that Samuel was there too?!


    Beside her, Pearl was absolutely delighted. Heavens, that was effortless! She was looking for Tina just to


    hook up with that assistant, and he had really shown up!


    There were bodyguards following Sandy, and when they saw the scene before them, they promptly ran


    up to form a protective formation around Tina.


    At the same time, Sandy asked coldly, “What’s all this?”


    Tina’s manager didn’t expect Tina to know such an important man, and was naturally petrified. “Well….”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
