Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Tina Lynd glowered as she shook off Ellen Golding’s hand. “Move!”

“Argh!”

Pearl Lynd screamed as Ellen’s nails dug sharply into her arm, and her cry startled everyone nearby!

“What happened?! What’s wrong, Pearl?”

Jonah Lynd reacted first and quickly moved to block out any inquisitive glances.

“We just remembered that there are certain family matters we must tend to—excuse us!”

Once they heard Jonah insist that it was a family matter, everyone nearby quickly gave up no matter how curious they were.

At the same time, Jonah grabbed Tina by the arm and dragged her firmly to the living room where there were no outsiders.

Then, unable to repress his rage, he slapped Tina viciously across the face!

“You little wretch! Are you fighting back now?! Look what you’ve done—you’ve hurt Pearl!” He bellowed in rage. “Our family had raised you for ten years, so it’s your blessing to be sold off to Mr. Wallace, but you’re rebelling instead? The insolence!”

The slap sent Tina tumbling to the floor and bleeding out the corner of her lips.

Nearby, Pearl was beside herself with thrill—she would have done it herself if her arm wasn’t hurt.

“Yes, Daddy! A wretch like that needs a proper beating! Disfigure that face so she won’t seduce men everywhere!”

Spurred on, Jonah was going to do just that when Ellen stopped him. “Wait! Don’t do it!”

“What are you doing, Mommy?! Are you siding with that wretch?!” Pearl cried in disbelief.

Ellen spat in disdain. “Why would I side with her? I just remembered that she’s still Mr. Wallace’s merchandise—what if he demands a refund if she’s hurt here, in our own home?!”

promptly stopped. “Yes, you’re right… We still have use for her face. You, over there—throw her down in the basement and wait until our guests leave,
