Chapter 34 The Call
Tinsley had just come out of the bathroom when her phone began to ring. She quickly picked it up thinking it was something important, but the name of the caller made her stunned.
"Why are you standing there like a statue?" Rory asked with concern because ever since Rory had picked up her call, she just looked down without moving a finger. Tinsley ignored her and continued to look at the phone until the ringing tone stopped ringing. She was about to place her phone down when her phone began to ring again.
She cleared her throat and lazily picked it up after the 5th ring.
Mrs. William fired coldly. "Tinsley. You're really good now, huh? You won't even pick up my call until how many rings... I say..."
"Who are you?" Tinsley spat out in a cold voice.
Mrs. William was stunned at first, but she became more enraged after getting herself. "It's just seven years, don't tell me you've forgotten your family?" Mrs. William asked in an annoyed tone that made Tinsley chuckle.
"A family that doesn't know the whereabouts of one of their own for seven years, is that a family?" Tinsley asked, which made Mrs. William furious.
"Do you think you're something because you're White Tigress? I'll see what you'll do when it's revealed to the world about how you treat your family." Mrs. William threatened, which made a glint flash in Tinsley's eyes.
"What do you need?" Tinsley asked after a few minutes of calming herself.
Mrs. William grinned in happiness upon seeing Tinsley submit to her.
"I want you to return home and I want you to give the female lead role of Taming Her to your sister. Ever since your disappearance, you don't know how much Lillee had been distressed. It's not a big deal, you just have to make her your female lead..."
"It's not a big deal? I left home because of whom?" Tinsley accused, which made Mrs. William's eyes flash with a loathful expression.
"There's no need to think about the past. Just think about it this way: if you didn't leave that time, you'll never be White Tigress and ah. You know President Jarek, right? Bring him along whenever you're coming. We have to see if he's the right man for you." Mrs. William said with evilness flashing in her eyes.
Tinsley's lips twitched. Is this family stupid, or they're just plain shameless that they expected her to listen to their order after what they had done to her in the past?
Nevertheless, Tinsley quickly sent a message, "Tell Lillee to join us at the official photo shoot of Taming her next tomorrow. I've sent the address to you." She says which made Mrs. William's body shake with excitement.
"That's good. You're really a good child. I'll ask the maids to prepare your favorite child for tomorrow's lunch." Mrs. William says with excitement, which made Tinsley scoff inwardly. "What is my favorite meal?" She asked calmly.
Mrs. William parted her lips, but she soon closed them when she remembered that she didn't even know what Tinsley's favorite meal was. "Um. Sweet..."
"You're wrong. I don't like sweet meals." Tinsley said, which made Mrs. William's expression changed, but she tried to hide it with a smile.
"Oh. I guess taste buds change when you are young..."
"I never liked it either," Tinsley says curtly, which made her fist clench.
"Haha. Then you can just send it to me as a message. We'll prepare everything for tomorrow and Lillee's..." Mrs. William asked in an impatient tone which made Tinsley bow her head.
"Tell her she should arrive at 8:00 am. I'll speak to the security beforehand, so there will be no problem." Tinsley explained, which made Mrs. William laugh.
"Okay."
"And I have sent my preference to you," Tinsley explained, which made Mrs. William laugh.
"Okay. Goodnight. Take care of yourself." Mrs. William says and cuts off the call.
"What's going on?" Rory asked with curiosity, which made Tinsley glance at her.
Her lips were curved up in a devious smirk. "I don't know either. Let's see how it goes." Tinsley said with a dark smile.
Rory felt a shiver run through her due to the dark smile on Tinsley's face. Whenever Tinsley was like this, Rory felt that the end of Lillee was approaching fast.
Tinsley had just dressed and was about to go play with the triplet when Rory frowned. "Lillee posted congratulations to herself. What happened?" Rory arched her brows at Tinsley but Tinsley only shrugged. "Everyone is beginning to discuss that you're giving Lillee the female lead of Taming Her, which was the reason why she posted this." Rory clarified.
"Yes, I'm giving it to her," Tinsley said in a serious voice which made Rory shocked.
"You. What were you thinking?" She demanded in a fierce tone, but Tinsley shrugged nonchalantly.
Rory was about to say something when her phone suddenly pinged. Her expression changed when she went through Lilee's post. "Lillee posted her and Conrad's wedding date and congratulated herself again," Rory said with a serious expression.
