Chapter 77 As Pearl approached Tina with the knife, Tina had never felt more desperate in her life. No! She couldn’t allow Pearl to do this to her! Never…! Quick as lightning, Tina threw herself towards Pearl and pounced on the latter. Pearl, caught by surprise, let out a high-pitched scream almost immediately. “Ahhh!” Tina quickly took advantage of the chaos and snatched the knife from Pearl. She then held it tightly, determined. “Let me go and leave me alone!” Her face, burning with anger, scared everyone. “I- Jeremy! Look at how crazy she is! Y-You can’t let her get her way!” Pearl was trembling now, her voice shaky.
Even Jeremy was taken aback by Tina’s sudden explosion of rage. “Let’s go!” he barked.
Pearl, of course, wasn’t satisfied with it. “Why? Are you just going to let that crazy woman do whatever she wants? Jeremy, we outnumber her! We can definitely win…”
But Jeremy wasn’t in the mood for any more of Pearl’s rubbish. Impatient, he swung around and gave her a hard slap on the face.
“Do it yourself, then. Am I you slave? Why should I risk my life for you?!”
Soon, Jeremy and his cronies disappeared. Pearl was the only one left with Tina.
Tina glared at Pearl and growled, “We’re the only ones left. Are you still planning to threaten
me?”
“Just you wait!” Pearl shouted defiantly, covering her bruised face with one hand. “This isn’t over! I’ll make sure you suffer, Tina!”
Pearl fled right after that.
Right then, all of the nerves in Tina’s body relaxed. She could feel the tension seeping out of her body.
Both the knife and Tina’s body dropped onto the ground. She was so tired, she had no energy to support her body.
Luckily, she survived.
After a momentary rest, she tried to stand back up. As she did so, a sharp pain stung her.
“Ouch…”
It was only then did she realize that she had accidentally cut herself when she grabbed the knife from Pearl.
Tina could barely drag her exhausted body back to her unit. She quickly took care of her wounds, and fell asleep immediately after.
The next day, Tina was washing dishes as usual. She had rubber gloves on as she scrubbed the plates away.
Cling, clang! A mountain of plates was piled in front of Tina. “Here you go!” Tina glanced through the kitchen. Strangely enough, it looked like she was the only one with such a heavy workload.
But since she was a newcomer and she really needed the money, she had no choice but to accept it. She responded softly, “Alright.” “Make sure they’re all clean. I’ll cut your salary if I find any dirt on them!”
Tina worked the entire day, to the point she was forced to miss her meals. When she finally had the time to rest, her wounds from last night got infected all over again. Just then, she received a call from the person in charge of the orphanage. That rang a bell. Tina suddenly remembered that she was supposed to help with the moving at the orphanage today.
But…
Tina picked up the phone as she stared at her wounded hand in dismay. She mumbled apologetically, “I’m sorry, Madam Woods. I think, today…”
