Grace also began to feel that Aurora was being a little disrespectful.
She turned tofort Tessa. “It’s nothing, don’t overthink it. Your sister has her own ns.”
Aurora nearly rolled her eyes at herment.
She didn’t feel like exining anything anymore.
After all, her goals were entirely different from Tessa’s.
“Madam Grace, I’ll go see off the management team from Vanguard,” Aurora said calmly, her expression indifferent.
When she looked at Tessa, it was with the same disinterest one might show a clown putting on a cheap performance.
The moment she mentioned “Vanguard,” Grace’s tone shifted again.
“Alright, go ahead. You don’t need to worry about anything at Walton Corporation. Just focus on your responsibilities.”
Hearing that, Tessa instantly realized the message behind her mother’s words–it was directed at her like a subtle jab.
Her fists slowly clenched.
Clearly, staying passive wouldn’t get her anywhere.
If she didn’t fight for something, there would be no space for her in this house at all.
As for Aurora, she had expected Grace’s words.
She simply nodded and walked off without another word.
She had no interest in being dragged into their petty exchanges–it was pointless and a waste of her <b>time</b>.
Once Aurora left, Grace finally turned to <b>Tessa </b>and said, “I know you hold resentment toward your sister…”
“Mother, I don’t… I…” Tessa’s eyes widened as she rushed to defend herself.
But Grace waved a hand<b>, </b>her voice calm. “You <b>don’t </b>have to pretend. <b>You </b>know exactly what I mean. And I can see <b>your </b>thoughts
clearly.”
Tessa immediately fell silent.
In that moment, something inside her shifted.
So, what if Grace <b>had </b>seen through her?
She hadn’t gained anything in thepany anyway. Maybe it was time toy all the cards on the table–make it clear who was
<b>really </b>at fault here<b>. </b>

Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, “So what now, Mom? We’re both your daughters. Do you really think you’ve been fai
Grace’s eyes widened slightly, her gaze fixed on Tessa in shock. “Do you even realize what you’re saying?”
“Of course I do, Mom. I’ve never been more clear–headed.”
There was a recklessness in Tessa’s tone, like she had nothing left to lose.
Grace sighed. “If you’re still standing here arguing with me, then you clearly don’t understand everything I’ve done for your sake.”
Tessa nearlyughed aloud at that. “Everything you’ve done? You mean giving the entirepany to Aurora, right?”
She patted her chest and said, “Mom, I <b>know </b>you’ve been exhausted. That’s why I wanted to help and take on some of the pressure. I just wanted to make you happier.”
<b>Grace </b>gave a faint smile but didn’t respond to that.
Tessa’s attempt at loyalty suddenly felt awkward, left hanging in the air with no acknowledgment.
“Well, if there’s nothing else<b>, </b>I’ll take my leave now,” she said.
only gave
Grace only gave a soft “mm,” offering no further words.
Not wanting to embarrass herself further, Tessa quietly walked out.
The moment she stepped outside, her expression changedpletely.
“Aurora, just wait. I’ll take back everything you’ve taken from me and give back all the humiliation I endured today.”
While chaos <b>stirred </b>on Tessa’s end, Aurora paid her no <b>mind</b>.
She truly had gone to see off the executives from Vanguard.
