Tessa finally realized that Connor hade to confront her.

However, she was confident that, at the time of carrying out these actions, she had not left any evidence that could be used against her.
She sneered, “Connor, I have finally understood the reason why you have been reluctant to marry me.”
Connor did not see any sign of guilt on Tessa’s face; instead, her face was filled with sadness and disappointment.
He frowned slightly when Tessa said. “Mourning for your grandfather is just your excuse. In fact, you simply can’t stand seeing Xylia with another man, especially when he’s a mere chauffeur! You can’t let go of your male pride and feel that Xylia’s actions are meant to humiliate you.
Tessa spoke each word with deliberate emphasis, meaning to get to Connor.
Connor furrowed his brows, his face as <b>gloomy </b>as it could possibly be.
Tessa continued, “You want to prove yourself in front of Xylia, which is why you seek justice for her. However, you should not assign unfounded usations to me.”
Tessa looked at him, feeling wronged; <b>as </b>soon as she finished saying these words, tears began to fall.
Connor could not bear to see her in such a state.
Honestly, he did not actually obtain any evidence.
However, whether it was Xavier’s words or Sonny’s remarks, both implicitly suggested that Tessa was not entirely innocent.
Still, Connor currentlycked further evidence to interrogate her.
He suppressed the urge tofort her, remaining silent and saying nothing.
Tessa felt a surge of grief and indignation as he continued to disregard her grievances.
“Connor! I hate you!” she shouted, turned around, and ran away.
Connor did not go after her.
His agitation had nearly reached its utmost limit.
Tessa attended a small–scalemercial performance event today, where a well–known brand invited <b>several </b>
celebrities to make an appearance.
Because she once served as Chief Dancer, she was quite famous.

Getting this kind of attention finally helped Tessa bounce back a bit after Connor had messed up my mood earlier this morning.
The representative said. “Tessa, you’ll be the headline act soon. We’ve already built up the pre–event hype, and your fans have filled <b>the </b><b>mall</b>.”
Tessa nodded proudly. “Alright.”
In fact, she considered this small–scalemercial performance venue beneath her.
However, today, a well–known productionpany, whose owner was a friend of the brand owner, was also present.
Tessa’s goal was to win over the productionpany and have them choose her as the lead actress for the new drama<b>. </b>
While waiting in the lounge area, Tessa saw from a distance that the producer, Alex Harrison, was greeting the brand owner.
Alex appeared to be in his thirties, an age considered young within the entertainment industry. Nevertheless. he had a keen eye; whether selecting scripts or casting actors, his judgment was always spot–on.
Since the beginning of his career, nearly every television drama and film for which he had overseen overall nning <b>had </b>be <b>a </b>major hit.
Therefore, although he was young, he was still someone whom everyone in the circle tried to curry favor with.
This time, therge–scale historical costume drama centered on political intrigue, overseen by Alex, was currently seeking actors.
Tessa submitted her resume well in advance, but did not receive an audition notice.
She had no choice but to put herself forward.
She believed that this time, she would definitely secure the lead role in this television drama.
Lifting the hem of her dress, Tessa walked <b>toward </b>Alex with a smile on her face.
On the way, she was bumped into by a woman who was clumsy with her hands.
Tessa staggered briefly, managed to steady herself with difficulty, and immediately became angry. “Are you blind? You should know I can totally have you kicked out!”
Assuming the person was <b>a </b>staff member, Tessa began to reprimand her before even seeing her face clearly.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xylia realized that the person she had bumped into was Tessa.

Originally, she meant to apologize, but she held back the urge to say those words,
Tessa then noticed <b>that </b>the person who had been bumped into was Xylia.
Her previously angry mood was further intensified.

Just this morning, Connor had a disagreement with her over Xylia. And now, as <b>luck </b>would have it, Xylia showed up before her. Tessa couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity to strike against Xylia.
Tessa red at Xylia in a domineering manner. “Xylia? Are you a staff member here? What gives you the right. to be here?”
Nylia
nced at her indifferently and did not respond immediately.
After finishing his work, Hudson noticed that Xylia was still in low spirits, so he took her out to help her rx.
While visiting the shopping mall, she saw that it was packed with people and realized that an event was being held.
Hudson stated that he had previously shared a meal with Greg Dawson, the owner of <b>this </b>brand.
Xylia was initially uninterested.
However, she inadvertently saw the female celebrity, whom she had previously encountered in the restroom of the seaside restaurant and thought was Leon’s crush, walking toward the lounge.
<b>Xylia’s </b>curiosity was rekindled once <b>again</b>.
She asked Hudson if she could go to the lounge to see the celebrities.
After Hudson talked to Greg, he led Xylia <b>backstage</b>.
Xylia searched backstage for a while. After seeing the female celebrity, she <b>prepared </b>to go over and greet her.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Tessa.
Xylia rolled her eyes. “Whether I <b>am </b>qualified to be here is not for you toment on.
Tessa sneered, “I am the distinguished guest they invited. Do you think I am qualified toment on you? Even if I were to ask them to remove you right now, I would also have the right to do so.”
Xylia did not wish to waste <b>words </b>with her and bypassed her to seek out the female celebrity.
After the minor incident just now, she hadn’t seen the celebrity since.
Tessa turned sideways to block Xylia’s way out. “Trying to leave? You bumped into me–shouldn’t you apologize?”
“What the hell are you talking about? Xylia rarely uses profanity.
However, when confronted with Tessa, she felt her anger gather within her and linger, refusing to dissipate for

a long time.
Themotion among them quickly attracted arge crowd of onlookers.
The staff members did not know <b>Xylia</b>.
However, they were aware that Tessa was the distinguished guest the brand had invited.
Therefore, when Xylia and Tessa argued, they immediately sided with Tessa.
One of them said to Xylia, “Miss, you are not one of our backstage staff. Please leave now.”

Another one said. “You bumped into her and didn’t apologize–what are you being so arrogant about?”
A girl warned. “If you do not leave immediately, do not me me for calling security to have you removed.”
Hudson went to chat with the brand owner.
At that moment, Xylia seemed utterly alone.
Yet she showed no trace of timidity, regarding them with indifference. “I am not the one who should apologize<b>.</b>”
She looked at Tessa and said, ‘Ms. Schultz, if we are to speak of apologies, you owe me far too many!”
Tessa narrowed her eyes and gave her a dangerous look.
She hadn’t expected Xylia to be so stubborn, but that was a good thing for her. “It is indeed rare to encounter someone socking in civility. It appears that the only option is to have security escort you out.”
Some staff members had already called for security. The security guards approached Xylia with a serious demeanor. “Will you leave on your own, or shall we force you out?”
Xylia did not speak.
Amid the stalemate, a voice broke the silence. “What are you doing here?”
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw Greg walk over together with Hudson.
