Chapter 37
After Madam Langford gave that order, she hung up the phone decisively.
Samuel frowned. “Where is Tina now?”
Sandy was shocked. Did something happen to Miss Lynd?
After making several phone calls to make sense of the situation, Sandy realized that Tina had been accused of theft the o moment she started her first day of work. She even pulled Madam Langford into the mess!
“Miss Lynd is at the police station right now. I‘ll send someone..” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Sandy could finish speaking, Samuel cut him off sternly, “I‘ll head over there myself.”
At the opposite end of the conference room, John raised his eyebrows and
asked, “Is something the matter, Mr. Langford?”
“I have some pressing matters to deal with at the moment. Let‘s talk tomorrow.”
He left the conference room in a hurry.
Curious, John wondered to himself, ‘I wonder what stirred Samuel up. Judging from their conversation just now, it seems like it‘s about a woman. I thought Samuel isn‘t the type to get involved in matters pertaining to love and relationships.”
“Send someone to follow them,” John instructed.
For some reason, he was interested in knowing the kind of woman Miss Lynd
was.
At the police station, Tina was undergoing a rough interrogation.
“I swear to god, I didn‘t steal anything.”
“Where does the bracelet come from,
‘
then? I don‘t think an intern has the means to buy something so expensive!”
“Madam Langford gave it to me. I can‘t ask her to testify, as she‘s not in good health at the moment.”
“Then, is there anyone who could testify for you?”
“Yes, but I can‘t seem to reach him right
now.”
Aside from Madam Langford, the only person she could seek help from was Samuel
However, Samuel had always been the one to reach out to her. It was never the other way around.
No matter how hard she tried to explain, she couldn‘t get herself out of this mess.
“That‘s enough! Since you refuse to tell us the truth, I‘ll have no choice but to lock you up.”
Just when Tina was about to be taken away, the door of the interrogation room swung open.
Samuel appeared at the door, followed by Sandy and a lawyer.
He glanced at Tina, who was crumpled into a little ball on the chair. For some reason, she looked really small and pitiful.
“The jade bracelet is a gift to her from the Langford family. If you have any questions, you can ask our lawyer.”
When Tina heard the familiar voice, she looked up in joy. She didn‘t expect Samuel to come here personally.
Looking at Samuel, her heart skipped a beat. As absurd as it sounded, at this moment, the hateful man was akin to Prince Charming saving the day.
Finally, Tina was cleared of suspicions with the presence of a testifier. She
followed Samuel to the car.
Before Tina could thank him, Samuel snapped sarcastically, “Tina, is this also part of your plan?”
“I...” Exhausted, Tina answered helplessly, “I didn‘t do it on purpose.”
Samuel bent down and pulled Tina‘s cheek roughly, bruising her.
“It doesn‘t matter if you did it on purpose or not. Let this be a warning to you! If you dare to make grandma worry again, I‘ll make your life a living hell.”
“Is Madam Langford the one who asked you to come here?” Worried, she tugged at Samuel‘s sleeve. “Is she alright?”
Tina didn‘t expect Grandma Langford to notice that there was something amiss in the phone call just now.
Samuel pulled back his hand and sneered, “She‘s alright. I‘ll take you to the hospital
right now to visit her. Make sure she‘s not worried and anxious anymore.” “Alright, I will,” Tina assured him.
