Chapter 63

Pearl was soon brought backstage. The waiter then told her, “In just a few moments, you‘ll be able tomeet Mr. Langford.”

Pearl was nervous and excited at the same time, feeling that she had made the right decision byattending the banquet. She knew Samuel would definitely be attracted to her.

‘Oh, Tina! I‘m finally more superior than you!‘ she thought smugly.

At that time, the banquet was bustling with conversations and laughter.

Samuel‘s every move attracted everyone‘s attention. It was as if he was a natural king; his aura was sodomineering that people couldn‘t help but want to submit to him.

Cindy happened to be staring at him with a lovesick expression. She vowed to capture his heart onceand for all.

She was the only woman worthy enough to stand next to Samuel. Only she would become the king‘sbeloved queen.

More noises erupted from the outside at that moment.

“Madam Langford is here!”

Cindy wasn‘t the only one surprised by the announcement. The majority of Freesia‘s elites appearedquite astonished as well.

Wasn’t the elderly woman supposed to be hospitalized due to her poor health? Why would she be here?

However, the fact that Madam Langford had made her appearance still stood. Cindy quickly approachedthe elderly woman to help her into the lobby. “Grandma Langford, why did you come here?” she asked.“Why are you here?” Madam Langford asked in response, a deep frown already set on her features themoment she saw Cindy. Then, she cast a look in Samuel‘s direction. “Where‘s Tina?”

“I thought you wanted to give her a surprise,” Samuel replied lightly. “I asked her to wait for mebackstage.” “Very well!” Madam Langford had a wide smile on her face.

When Cindy overheard their conversation circling around Tina, she couldn‘t help but ask,“ Samuel, whatare you and Grandma talking about? What surprise do you have in store for Miss Lynd? Why didn‘t Iknow anything about this?” But Madam Langford just harrumphed and snapped, “You‘ll replace out later.”Suddenly, Cindy had an ominous feeling pooling at the pit of her stomach. She watched in trepidation asMadam Langford walked up the stage. “The reason I came here is because I have an importantannouncement to make,” the elderly

woman began seriously. “Everyone here knows that all three generations of the Langlord family haveonly produced an heir each. All these years, Samuel never brought home a partner, which worries megreatly. Thus, I felt I should take the initiative to break some good news to all of you on this fortuitousday. The Langford family is finally welcoming the future Mrs. Langford. Tonight will be her first timemaking a public appearance.” Just as Madam Langford finished speaking that sentence, Cindy‘s facepaled immediately.

‘No! This is impossible! Why did Grandma decide to do this?!‘ she thought in alarm.

A quick glance in Samuel‘s direction told Cindy that he wasn‘t opposed to the idea of marriage at all.That meant he had already known about the decision right from the start. So, this was the surprise meantfor Tina?

Cindy wasn‘t the only shocked one. Numerous pairs of eyes turned to look at her, various degrees ofsurprise flashing in their orbs. They initially thought that she would be the future Mrs. Langford. Based onthe words “first public appearance“, this meant that the real fiancée was someone else.

Cindy was the only woman who stayed by Samuel‘s side over the past decade. Naturally, everyone hadassumed that she would become the future Mrs. Langford. None of them could have expected theshocking announcement that blew them out of the water. At that moment, Cindy felt her hatred forMadam Langford grow. Why was that d*mned old witch siding with Tina all the time, to the point that shewould humiliate Cindy in front of everyone?

“Now, I‘ll introduce my future granddaughter–in–law to everyone. Samuel, hurry and invite her up thestage,” Madam Langford continued with a smile. Samuel approached the backstage, ready to fetch Tina.Everyone gazed at the backstage curiously. They wanted to see for themselves just how specialSamuel‘s fiancée was. After all, she was the one who obtained Madam Langford‘s blessings to marryinto the family. At the same time, murderous intent flashed in Cindy‘s eyes. At that moment, she wantednothing more than to kill Tina with her own hands. Only by tearing Tina‘s skin from her bones wouldCindy be able to soothe the tumbling rage in her heart.

On the other hand, Pearl had been waiting impatiently backstage. The moment she saw the door beingopened, she sprang to her feet.

The first thing she saw was Samuel approaching her slowly, which excited her even more. “Mr. Langford,you‘re here!” she called out in glee. ‘Oh my god! He‘s really Samuel Langford in the flesh! He actuallyshowed up in front of me!’
