Chapter 750: Tina Stood Her Up Again

As Tina was pulling up Paula's number on her phone, she suddenly paused. A teahouse? Why did that sound so familiar? Suddenly, she pinched the bridge of her nose, "I can't believe I forgot about that!"

At a certain teahouse, Ella Bailey sat in the reserved private room, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the bustling crowd below.

Her phoenix eyes were full of frustration. Tina! Really impressive! Twice now! That damned woman, standing her up twice! No calls answered, no messages returned, as if she had vanished from the earth. How could Logan have chosen such a granddaughter-in-law?

She's a disgrace to the Farrell family. And Jared! Truly, no two different people come from the same bed; he's cut from the same cloth as Tina! Ella Bailey angrily bit into the freshly served pastries as if she were biting into Tina and Jared, the jerks.

"Let's go, we're going to find General Praevion! Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't handle you two!"

Meanwhile, at Hartwood, in the Langdon family's castle-like estate, Grandpa Langdon sat by Carl's bed. He looked at his son, who was unconscious, and picked up a teacup from the desk only to hurl it at Colin Nash's forehead, "Useless! You can't even handle this small matter, and you've caused your young master to get hurt. What use do I have for you?!"

"Forgive me, head of the family!"

Despite being in modern times, the Langdon family still clung to old customs. Colin Nash fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead touching the ground, "This time, we indeed were careless. We didn't expect it. Just a young girl, and yet so formidable. I suspect she might also belong to a hidden family."

"Absurd!"

Grandpa Langdon threw another teacup, "Do you think I'm a fool?! How powerful can a girl in her early twenties be? Go and inquire, see if there's any family with such a genius. Wouldn't those old fools have flaunted her talents far and wide by now?!"

As the foremost among the five great families, the Langdon family had no such genius. What could those old fools have that they possess such talent?! Even if they did, he would have long since dealt with them! "Enough! All of you go and take your punishment. I'll give you one more chance, by any means necessary. That bioweapon must be retrieved!"

Grandpa Langdon banged the table hard, "Since fate has brought this information to us, that thing must belong to the Langdon family."

Back at the teahouse in Ashbury, a day later, Ella Bailey still fumed over being stood up. Even facing Ruud, her words carried resentment, "General Praevion, could you please, for the sake of my mother who once helped you, relay a message to the Farrell family? Tina and Jared have gone too far! It's clear they're just playing games with me!"
