Such a shocking scandal left everyone stunned, their minds reeling as they found themselves oddly impressed by Abel’s boldness.
Tess narrowed her eyes slightly as she listened to Nadine’s outburst, her expression unreadable.
“I never knew that besides stirring up drama, you also had a knack for making up rumors.”
She sneered coldly, clearly unfazed by Nadine’s earlier usation.
Her indifference made those around her begin to second–guess what they’d just heard.
Finn was the richest man in Aetheris. On top of that, he was young, aplished, and ridiculously good–looking. Honestly, they couldn’t fathom how someone could marry a man like him and still want to cheat on him.
With that in mind, their eyes shifted andnded on Abel.
But this man who imed to be Finn’s nephew… With those alluring eyes and striking features, he carried an effortless kind of elegance. He was a total catch, too.
Their gazes moved between the two of them, and in the end, they could only draw one conclusion–Tess really was one lucky woman!
As Tess noticed the onlookers‘ expressions gradually shifting into admiration, a smile tugged faintly at the corner of her lips.
“This is Abel, Finn’s nephew. He had just arrived in Aetheris back then. As his uncle’s wife, isn’t it natural for me to take a little extra care of him?”
Tess spoke slowly, her tone calm.
<i>“</i>Exactly. Mr. Lock is so busy. Having Tess fulfill her role as his wife and look after his nephew… makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?”
“You’re lying! Finn holds immense power and has countless staff members in his vi. As his wife, why would you need to care for Abel personally? You’re obviously making things up! The two of you were already involved–long before you ever knew he was Finn’s nephew!”

Nadine wasn’t about to let Tess twist the whole situation with a few words. Her eyes widened in fury as she snapped back, her eyes bloodshot.
A strange glint flickered through Tess’s eyes, but she pushed it back down.
She was indeed making a weak argument. But whether she had met Abel before or after knowing he was Finn’s nephew, Nadine had no way to prove it.
In the end, all she could do wassh out in frustration, her words slipping into thoughtless rambling.
Just as Tess had predicted, Nadine still wanted to say something, but Finn was already rubbing his temples, signaling for Zane to take her away.
When her wrist was restrained, Nadine was still in a daze.
She didn’t understand why Finn seemed so different from before. He had watched the whole thing with cold detachment.
Where was the Finn who used to panic the moment she got hurt? Where did that man go?
As Nadine was dragged away, she no longer kept her eyes locked on Tess. Instead, she stared at Finn with a look of raw unwillingness.
But Finn didn’t spare her so much as a nce.
He simply turned his back on her, cutting her off from his sightpletely.
He came to a stop in front of Tess.
His long, darkshes fluttered, then lowered <i>to </i>shield the deep emotion in his something to say to you. Abel, you should join us, too.”
“I have eyes.
Tess looked up at him, her expression unreadable.
When Nadine hurled usations at her, he hadn’t said anything–not even a single word.
But the moment she fired back with a few retorts, he hurriedly told Zane to take Nadine away. <i>Finn</i><i>, </i><i>just </i><i>how </i><i>much </i><i>do you </i><i>love </i><i>Nadine</i><i>? </i><i>How </i><i>far </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>willing </i><i>to </i><i>go </i><i>to </i><i>protect </i><i>her</i><i>? </i>
After getting out of prison, there were a few times when Finn’s odd behavior made her start to see him differently. But every time, that impression was always quickly shattered.
Just like now.

“Is there really anything left to talk about between us?”
Tess shot back coldly, not even willing to spare him a nce.

Finn stared nkly at Tess’s distant expression. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his chest. It was dry, choking, and suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
Their gazes shed in midair–his full of bleak sorrow, hers frosted with indifference.
In the end, it was Abel who stood up and ced himself between them.
His tall figure stood between the two as he said, “Uncle Finn, that won’t be necessary. If there’s anything she needs to know, I’ll tell her.
“We’ve got things to take care of. We’ll take our leave now.”
Tess blinked quickly but said nothing. Instead, she followed Abel into his car without hesitation.
Her figure disappeared swiftly, without the slightest trace of hesitation.
Finn’s hand involuntarily clutched his chest, but he was unable to stop the stabbing pain in his heart.
He didn’t know why, but the once–obedient Tess who used to follow him so devotedly … now seemed so far out of reach.
Standing off to the side was Zane, who couldn’t bear to watch any longer. After sending Nadine away, he hurried forward to disperse the crowd.
The drama between the four had ended with Finn left standing alone. No one dared gossip about Aetheris’s richest man, so the crowd quickly dispersed.
“Mr. Lock, are we still heading to the file room?”
Zane reminded Finn softly.
Finn’sshes quivered in a daze. When he lifted his eyes again, they had regained their rity.
“Let’s go.”
He took long strides and got into the car.
Zane followed closely behind, sighing quietly. As a bystander, he had seen everything clearly.

Finn had always ignored her. Every now and then, he’d be drawn to her for a moment, but he usually snapped out of it quickly.
