Chapter 70 “I’ll do it,” Cindy offered after sneaking a peek at Samuel’s expression. “Samuel, I promised that I’ll take good care of Grandma Langford. You should hurry up and get some rest. What if you collapsed before she woke up, Samuel? What should we do by then?” Cindy’s soft voice, coupled with the throbbing headache that had been drumming against Samuel’s skull, made him agree to the suggestion.
“I’ll rest in the lounge next door,” he relented. You have to inform me if anything happens.”
“I will,” Cindy promised. She then walked Samuel into the lounge. Sandy said gratefully, “Thank goodness you’re here, Miss Young. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do with Mr. Langford!” To him, Cindy was the perfect candidate to become the future Mrs. Langford. It was a good thing that Samuel had rid that Tina wench. “It was nothing,” Cindy replied softly. “By the way, regarding the matter concerning Miss Lynd… Is it really not a misunderstanding?” “Miss Young, you’re too kind-hearted for your own good. Once Mr. Langford has decided on something, he’ll never go back on his word. It’s fine if you talked about it in front of me, but please refrain from mentioning it in front of Mr. Langford in the future.”
“Alright, I understand.” With that, the invisible weight in Cindy’s heart finally dissipated. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
That woman would never pose a threat to her ever again. Pleased, she turned around and left the lounge to keep watch over Madam Langford in her own ward.
A short while later, Cindy’s phone started ringing. “Hello, Mrs. Langford.” Indeed, the one who called her was Samuel’s mother, Mrs. Langford. “What happened? Why was Grandma sent to the emergency room?” she asked.
Cindy quickly explained everything to Mrs. Langford. Mrs. Langford had always despised Tina. Now that she had known everything, she spat disdainfully, “I knew it! That woman’s a despicable b*tch. I already knew that she’ll bring trouble to the family. It’s a good thing Samuel dealt with her accordingly.” “Mrs.
Langford, you can’t say that! What if this really is a misunderstanding?” Cindy continued to uphold her kind-hearted facade. i
On the other end of the line, Mrs. Langford harrumphed coldly before replying,” Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? She deserves to die! Whatever, let’s not talk about that b*tch. How’s Samuel doing right now?”
“He’s resting in the lounge next door at the moment. He’s extremely exhausted because of everything that happened. His condition worries me a lot…”
Mrs. Langford started urging once again. “Samuel will stay by Grandma’s side over the next few days. You need to use this opportunity to work hard, alright?”
Cindy replied bashfully, “Mrs. Langford, I don’t think this is a good time for me to do that. After all, I don’t want to distract Samuel….”
“You need to strike while the iron’s still hot!” Mrs. Langford retorted in displeasure. “If you continue waiting for the perfect chance to come, someone else might swoop in and become the next Mrs. Langford! I honestly have no idea what spell that b*tch cast to make Grandma like her so much. What if she insists on having that b*tch marry into the family once she wakes up? Use your time wisely, Cindy. Think it over!” With that, Mrs. Langford ended the call abruptly. Cindy’s expression was thunderous upon hearing Mrs. Langford’s words. What the latter said was right.
Madam Langford had never taken a liking to her before, not even once. Cindy was fine with that, but the thing was, the old woman insisted on Tina becoming her granddaughter-in-law. The reason Tina was chased out of the family this time was because of Madam Langford’s accident.
What if the old woman wanted Tina to return once she regained her consciousness ? Samuel was a filial grandson, so he would never turn her down. Rather than Tina, Madam Langford was the biggest obstacle in Cindy’s path to becoming the future Mrs. Langford. She shot a cold look in the old woman’s direction, who remained unconscious on her hospital bed. Tubes were injected into various parts of her body, making her look extremely weak. If Madam Langford were to die at a time like this, Samuel would definitely blame Tina for her death. By then, Cindy would be able to get away scot-free. No one would suspect her as the true killer. Thus, a bold thought started manifesting in Cindy’s mind. There wasn’t a trace of worry in her heart when she cooked up her vile plan. Instead, excitement coursed through her veins.

Cindy’s expression gradually became more twisted as hand toward Madam Langford’s oxygen tube…
