Chapter 116
However…
When Tina shot that disappointed look in his direction, for some reason, his breath got hitched in his throat.
Once Samuel regained his senses, he realized he had pulled out his phone and dialed Cindy’s number. In the past, she would always pick up his calls straight away. Yet today, no one picked up today. A frown graced his features as a seed of suspicion started taking root within his heart.
Meanwhile, Cindy cowered in a corner while staring at the name that popped up on her phone screen in fright. She grabbed Victor’s arm tightly while asking fearfully, “What should I do? Samuel’s calling me right now! He can’t have discovered the truth, right?” The sight of a weak-looking and helpless cindy made Victor’s heart ache for her. “Don’t worry, Miss Young. Tina won’t be able to affect your relationship with Mr. Langford,” he tried to soothe her. All Cindy could mutter was, “You don’t know anything. You have no idea at all…” She spent ten years fooling everyone into thinking that she was the woman Samuel loved the most. However, she was the only one who knew that everything she had gained today was all thanks to a necklace. If Samuel were to find out that she was an impostor, then she would definitely die the most painful death… The reason why Samuel cared about her even more right now was because she was the impostor who took on Tina’s identity as the one who was intimate with him that night. What happened after that? After that night, Cindy used every method she could think of to try and bear a child in order to strengthen her position within the Langford family, but Samuel wasn’t tempted at all. The man she tried so hard to seduce ended up losing control right in front of Tina. How could she not be scared and worried?
Soon, Cindy’s phone stopped ringing. Victor’s phone was the one that rang instead. He didn’t have the guts to ignore that phone call, so he picked it up immediately. “Mr. Langford,” he began nervously. “Where’s Cindy right now?” Samuel’s tone was apathetic. Cindy started quaking even more after hearing
that question. Victor quickly replied, “Miss Young hasn’t been feeling well, so she’s currently resting. Is there anything you need from her, Mr. Langford? I’ll get her on the phone immediately.” Samuel was silent for a moment, making both Victor and Cindy anxious. It took a while before Samuel finally replied, “There’s no need for that. Her health has always been poor, after all. I’ll have Sandy send over some supplements for her later. I’ll come see her
tonight.”
After Samuel was done speaking, he hung up right away, certain that he was overthinking things. A dark expression was plastered on his face. That Tina woman was able to make him lose all sense of judgment. This was not a good sign. Meanwhile, Cindy was surprised and delighted to hear Samuel’s reply. Soon, Sandy arrived at her room. After poking around, Cindy found out that Tina and Samuel had gone through a huge fight because of her relationship with Mr. Jackson.
Thanks to that, Cindy was able to survive the ordeal. She couldn’t help but say smugly, “I knew it! That filthy b*tch tends to seduce men everywhere she goes! I’m the only Samuel trusts, so how can he ever believe in her nonsense? I won’t ever let her go! I’ll make sure she suffers a fate worse than death!”
However, Victor sounded quite hesitant. “Miss Young, everyone knows how much Mr. Langford loves you. Why would you care about a wh*re like her?” Deep down, Cindy cursed Victor for being an idiotic buffoon. On the outside, she grabbed his hand and pretended to look pitiful.
“Victor, what you don’t know is that I can’t live without Samuel. I’ll die without him. The whole ordeal about me dealing with Tina will be our secret, okay? You’ll help me, won’t you?”
Victor could never turn Cindy’s request down. The sight of her pitiful appearance made him agree immediately. “Alright. I’ll definitely help you out, Miss Young. If anything were to happen, you can always
blame me for it. Think of it as my way to repay you for saving my life before.”
Unbeknownst to him, all Cindy felt for him was disdain. Even if he never said anything about it, she wouldn’t hesitate to make him the scapegoat if Samuel were to discover the truth. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
At that time, she could only pretend to be touched by Victor’s confession. She held his hand and said, “Victor, I just thought of another great idea. You’re the only one who can pull this off, so please do this for me…”
