Chapter 233 Are You Working As a Boy Toy Now?
Tess was speechless.
She shot Sydney a look that screamed<i>, </i><i>Are </i><i>you </i><i>stupid </i><i>or </i><i>something</i><i>? </i>
She was a designer, not some celebrity idol.
Sydney’s face went pale, then twisted. “What’s with that look?”
“What’s going on here?”
A dazed male voice cut in.

Marc appeared, carrying a big load of toy blind boxes on his left shoulder and a pile of snacks in his right hand. He even had a lollipop in his mouth, making his wordse out slurred and hard to understand.
The unexpected appearance made Sydney’s twisted expression freeze for a moment before she forced it back to normal. “You … why are you here?”
She reached up and fixed her hair.
Marc lookedpletely baffled. “This is the arrival area …
Connor stepped in and took some of the blind boxes from Marc.
Marc instinctively tried to hand a few to Tess, but Connor’s sharp re stopped him cold. Left with no choice<i>, </i>Marc continued holding everything himself.
Nadine and Sydney watched the whole thing unfold and exchanged a look.
<i>So </i><i>Marc </i><i>actually </i><i>knew </i><i>Tess</i>?
Sydney felt like the whole world had gone crazy.
But seeing how natural they all were with each other, she felt even more stifled.
She’d spent the whole flight trying to chat him up in first ss, and he hadn’t cared at all. Now he was all warm and friendly with Tess?
Anyone would feel awful being treated so differently.
Nadine’s fists clenched.

How did Tess <i>even </i>know him? And <i>when </i><i>did </i><i>she </i><i>even </i><i>get </i><i>acquainted </i>with <i>so </i><i>many </i>top <i>names </i>in the industry?
Something’s <i>off</i><i>! </i>
<i>Tess </i><i>is </i><i>just </i>a <i>stiff</i>, <i>rule</i><i>–</i><i>obsessed </i><i>bookworm </i><i>who </i><i>only </i><i>knows </i><i>how </i>to <i>memorize </i><iws </i><i>and </i><i>study </i><i>case </i><i>files</i>. <i>She </i>even spent <i>a </i><i>whole </i><i>year </i>in <i>prison</i>. <i>No </i><i>way </i><i>she </i><i>could’ve </i>built <i>such </i><i>a </i><i>wide </i><iwork </i><i>alone</i>. <i>Someone </i>had to <i>be </i><i>backing </i><i>her</i><i>! </i>
Nadine’s eyes settled on Connor almost without her realizing it.
He was well past his youth, yet he carried none of the sluggishness that often came with age. Instead, he wasposed and striking presence that put people at ease.
Connor was the CEO of Cavrielle for Crorus. Marc was one of the brand’s star designers. Of course they’d know each other.
Nadine clung to that thought, trying to reassure herself.
Even though Tess had long made it clear that she was Selina, Nadine continued to shut out that truth. In fact, Selina was Cavrielle’s new design icon, so it was perfectly natural for her to know Marc. But Nadine kept fooling herself, insisting that this was impossible.
Seeing that the two had finally quieted down, Tess and her group wanted to leave. However, Nadine blocked their way, seemingly unwilling to give up.
Nadine bit her lip, looking on the verge of tears, her tear–filled eyes brimming with reluctance.
Tess was startled by her act and felt a sinking feeling settle in her chest.
“Tess, you and Finn aren’t divorced yet, so how can you shamelessly date a strange man alone like this?<b>” </b>
Nadine’s face was full of indignation, as if she were deeply disappointed in Tess.
Her sharp voice instantly drew the attention of the rtives waiting around the arrival area.
Tess arched a brow. She had guessed right–Nadine was about to stir up trouble again.
“Could it be that the elder sister is secretly cheating and got caught by her upright younger sister?”
“Oh my! That’s wild! Wait… why do those people look kind of familiar?”

The murmurs around them showed no sign of stopping, and some busybodies even pulled out their phones, intending to film.
Nadine was clearly satisfied with the stir she had caused, and she even took the chance to throw a provocative nce when no one was watching.
Tess had long grown used to her foolish antics. “They are my work partners, so why did they suddenly turn into some scandalous dates when you talk about them? You’re <i>so </i>worried about your Finn–if he and I end up divorcing early because of the rumors you spread, wouldn’t that make it easier for you to marry him? Isn’t that what you want?”
Her wordsid Nadine’s intentions bare for everyone to see.
In an instant, the faces of the onlookers changed.
This wasn’t just a scandalous drama–it was turning into a family soap opera!
Marc stood on the side, chewing his candy and clicking his tongue in amazement.
Was this really the Tess he knew?
The Tess he remembered had the cool, gentle charm of misty rain. But now she seemed like a sudden gust of wind, sometimes soft, sometimes sharp, striking without leaving a trace.
Marc watched the scene with fascination, his eyes gleaming with interest.
“Besides, he and I have a marriage of convenience. How many times do I need to remind you? If we were an ordinary couple, he wouldn’t be tangled up with you every day. So our lives have nothing <i>to </i>do with each other, and you don’t need to stand up for him. Even if I decided to hire ten boy toys today, the one who should be upset is him. If he can’t stand it and decides to have his assistant hand me the divorce papers, I’ll be ready to sign them any time.”
Tess crossed her arms and looked straight at Nadine, a cold arrogance in her eyes that seemed to look down on everything.
Her aura easily overpowered Nadine’s.
“Connor, are you working as a boy toy now?”
Marc lowered his voice and teased Connor.
Connor just kept smiling like usual, but Marc felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
Then came that cool, low voice. “I heard there’s a good new mine discovered in Aldevra. Don’t you like jewelry design? Maybe I should send you there to learn something?”

Marc looked like he was about to cry. Connor had totally one–upped him.
He didn’t want to go digging for gems in some remote ce like Aldevra!
“You sharp–tongued bitch!”

Sydney saw Nadine’s face stiffen with anger and quickly pulled her behind her, ready to snap back. But before she could say anything, Nadine tugged on her sleeve.
