Chapter 36
Cindy‘s complexion turned pale upon the realization. She wobbled back and forth, struggling to stand still.
The manager was shocked. She supported Cindy from falling and yelled, “Call the ambulance. We have to send Miss Young to the hospital! Call the police, too. Send this thief to the police station now!”
Once again, Tina tried to explain herself.
“I already told you! I didn‘t steal the bracelet!”
“Stop trying to defend yourself! You can talk to the police instead!”
Today was truly an unlucky day for Tina. It was just one thing after another for her! After a long day suffering from unfair treatment, she ended up in the police station. She felt miserable.
:
There were a lot of people in the police station. After she was detained, the . officers made her wait on the long bench to await interrogation.
Tina was fraught with worry, deeply anxious. Just then, her phone rang. A kind and gentle voice spoke through the receiver.
“Tina, guess who am I?”
After a whole day of pent–up frustrations, tears streamed down Tina‘s cheeks when she heard Madam Langford‘s voice.
“Madam Langford...“.
When Madam Langford heard Tina‘s sobbing voice, she changed her tone instantly
“What happened? Why are you crying?”
Knowing that Grandma Langford had a weak heart, Tina didn‘t want to make the sweet old lady worry. So, Tina wiped her

tears and fixed her tone.
“I‘m not crying, I‘m just a bit overwhelmed.”
Madam Langford didn‘t believe a word she said, “Did Samuel make things difficult for you again? I knew that brat wouldn‘t do as told! Just wait, I‘ll smack him with a broom when he comes back home!”
Tina burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all. “Mrs. Langford, he‘s your precious grandson! I know you wouldn‘t do that.”
“I love my grandson, but I won‘t let it slide if he dares to bully you!”
Madam Langford was well aware that Tina was a pitiful orphan. She would do everything to make Tina feel loved and appreciated.
Although Tina hated Samuel to the core, she was still extremely grateful to Grandma Langford.
.
“Madam Langford, you don‘t have to worry about me.” Tina was still trying to explain herself.
“Tina Lynd! It‘s your turn to make your statement. You‘d better be honest!” A loud voice blasted through the receiver.
Grandma Langford was curious. “What statement? Tina, where are you? And why is it so noisy around you?”
Tina hurriedly explained, “I‘m busy working at the company now. I‘ll call you back later, okay?”
Tina hung up the phone instantly and followed the police officer into the interrogation room.
Grandma Langford, who was in the hospital ward, couldn‘t help but worry.
She then called the company using a different number. However, the reply she got was very different from what she
expected.
“Tina Lynd? That person doesn‘t exist in our company. Oh, wait. You‘re talking about the newcomer, right? She was sent to the police station after being accused of theft.”
“What did you just say?” Grandma Langford couldn‘t believe her ears. “Did Samuel do this to Tina?”
“Who are you? How dare you address our president by his first name!”
Grandma Langford could care less about the employee‘s rudeness. She hung up and immediately dialed Samuel directly, but the call went straight to voicemail.
Then, she dialed Sandy‘s number. Sandy replied respectfully, “Madam Langford, the president is currently in a meeting...”
“To hell with his meeting!” She gave an ultimatum. “Tell Samuel that if he still refuses my call, I‘ll kill myself right in

front of him!”
Sandy didn‘t expect Mrs. Langford to be in such a thunderous mood. Without a second‘s delay, he relayed the message to Samuel.
“Mr. Langford, your grandmother demands that you answer her call immediately.”
Almost immediately, Samuel answered her call.
“Get Tina out of the police station right now! If you don‘t do that, I won‘t see you as my grandson anymore!”
