But it was different from Samuel. The moment he laid his eyes on the unfamiliar woman in front of him, Samuel‘s expression darkened immediately.
“Who are you?!” he demanded.

“Why are you here?” His chilly gaze looked like it could easily swallow Pearl whole.

This is all her idea!”
Before she could finish her words, Samuel tossed her to the side. His expression at that moment was incredibly frightening. He didn‘t expect Tina to be this bold.
It wasn‘t enough that she was plotting on her own, but to think that she would arrange a meeting between him and someone from the Lynd family... “Get the hell out of here!” Samuel roared, livid. “Y– Yes, Mr. Langford!” Pearl scrambled up to her feet as quickly as she could before stumbling out of backstage.

God has been watching over me!‘ she cheered inwardly, overjoyed. Eager, she offered, “Grandma Langford, let me give you a hand. We can go there together.” When Madam Langford arrived backstage, she saw Samuel standing there all alone. “What happened, Samuel? Where did Tina go?” she demanded, anxious.
