    Chapter 68 Everything was all Tina‘s fault!


    “Madam Langford originally wanted to surprise you at the banquet. Thanks to you, Miss Lynd, you’ve


    disappointed her greatly.”


    Sandy’s tone was filled with disdain. What he said was akin to a hammer striking Tina in the head,


    leaving nothing but buzzes and echoes in her mind.


    Oh god... What have I done?” she thought helplessly.


    Originally, she thought her n could trick Pearl into invoking Samuel’s wrath. She didn’t expect that


    Madam Langford would attend the banquet as well. The elderly woman‘s constitution had always been


    weak. She couldn‘t afford to suffer from emotional trauma.


    “Where’s Grandma right now?” Tina asked anxiously.

    “She’s in the emergency room located on the top floor,” Sandy responded with a cold huff.“ Don’t worry,


    Miss Lynd. If anything were to happen to Madam Langford, Mr. Langford has made it clear that you‘ll be


    buried next to her. You won‘t be able to escape from him at all...”


    Tina tuned out the rest of Sandy‘s words. She tried to run out of the ward as quickly as she could.


    Since Madam Langford was in the emergency room on the top floor, she needed to hurry there as soon


    as possible.


    However, Tina’s constitution was extremely weak as well. She could barely take a few steps before cold


    sweat rolled down her face. Her breathing grew haggard, and she began panting heavily. At one point,


    she almost stumbled and fell. Seeing as the elevator doors were about to close in front of her, she


    hurriedly squeezed into the crowded metallic box. A chorus ofints erupted from the dissatisfied


    crowd immediately. “What the hell? Are you trying to board the train to hell or something?”


    “We‘re already full here. Stop trying to squeeze into the elevator! Can you please wait for the next ride?”


    Tina kept apologizing profusely. “I‘m so sorry. I‘m really sorry, but a person important to me is in the


    emergency room right now. I‘m very worried about her...”


    She looked very rmed and pitiful. Those emotions were magnified by her sickly pale face. Someone


    couldn‘t bear to watch her struggle like that, so they said, “Alright, alright. I‘ll wait for the next ride.”


    “Thank you! Thank you so much!”


    It took the elevator a few minutes to rise all the way to the top floor. The moment Tina rushed out of the


    elevator, Madam Langford could be seen being pushed out of the emergency room.


    She was in the process of being transferred to a ward via another elevator “Grandma!” Tina shrieked


    worriedly, attempting to pounce onto Madam Langford‘s hospital bed.


    Samuel located Tina‘s feeble form instantly. He moved forward and grabbed her roughly by her arm,


    seething “Tina?! How dare you still appear in front of me?” he roared, fury evident in his tone.


    Despite the pain ring from her arm that was trapped in Samuel‘s vice–like grip, Tina continued, “I didn‘t


    expect that something like this would happen to Grandma! Is she alright? At least let me look at her!”


    The sight of Tina d in a hospital gown while looking extremely weak made Samuel frown, He barked


    disdainfully at her, “Things have already progressed to this point, yet you‘re still pretending till the end!


    Fine. Let me tell you this. You‘re lucky that Grandma‘s doing fine. If not, I would‘ve killed you on the spot


    and buried you right next to her! Get out of my sight! I don’t want to see you ever again!” He flung Tina to


    the side after that, not an ounce of gentleness in his actions.


    Since poor Tina was extremely weak to begin with, she fell to the floor in a haphazard manner. “So,


    Grandma‘s okay after all? That‘s great...” Tina breathed out, exhausted. “Mr. Langford, 1 know this is


    entirely my fault, but I can‘t leave now. Please let me take care of Grandma...”


    “Are you still putting up that act?” Samuel replied mockingly. He was repulsed. “I don‘t recall you being


    this faithful when the Lynds had called you for help just now!” A while ago, Samuel had listened to the


    entire phone conversation. He knew Tina‘s response to the Lynds‘ calls for help was extremely cruel and


    cold. The sight of her pretending to care about Grandma Langford made his skin crawl in disgust. “...”


    Tina was stunned by Samuel‘s response.


    She had stayed with the Lynd family for a decade. Every day, she worked hard for them and served as


    their personal ve.


    Despite that, the Lynds were more than eager to push her into the abyss. Thus, Tina would never feel


    remorse from watching them suffer. However, Grandma Langford was apletely different story. She


    loved and cared for Tina a lot, so it was natural for Tina to want to repay her kindness. “Mr. Langford,”


    Tina began. “Please listen to my exnation
