Even though Tess had always known Finn favored Nadine, she never expected him to just let this incident slide–even when La’s life was at stake.
He let Nadine blind him, but Tess saw everything clearly.
There weren’t any cameras inside Evermount Vi, and when Tess rushed back, she personally witnessed La struggling painfully in Nadine’s arms.
She refused to believe it was just a misunderstanding. She also noticed Joanna’s eager–to- please attitude toward Nadine.
With everything going on, Tess couldn’t possibly let Nadine get away with this.
Tess clenched her fists, her chest filled with disappointment in Finn as La’s father.
“I want to be discharged!”
Tess pressed the nurse call button, and in no time, the familiar nurse came over, standing cautiously at her bedside.
As soon as the nurse heard the word “discharged,” she looked troubled. “Mrs. Lock, if you want to be discharged, you’ll need to do a full–body checkup. If your health isn’t up to par, it’ll cause trouble for the hospital, and Mr. Lock won’t let us off easy…”
She exined cautiously, her voice trembling.
Tess listened quietly, but the moment she heard “Mr. Lock,” all her patience vanished. “Do I need his permission just to be discharged? If hees after you, tell him to find me at Evermount Vi.”
She clearly meant what she said, even peeling off a sticky note to leave her contact info for the
nurse.
Tess looked her in the eye and repeated, “I want to be discharged. Now.”
The nurse seemed lost, but remembering the hospital’s warning, she reluctantly agreed.
Soon, Tess carried La out of the hospital. Her tall, slim figure drew a lot of attention, and the baby in her arms made people sigh in pity as they turned away.
Tess ignored everyone, got straight into a cab, and had the driver stop at an intersection. Bessie was already waiting there.

“Bessie, I need you to look after La for me. I really can’t trust anyone else right now.”
Bessie quickly agreed and left with La.
Tess rolled up the cab window, her eyes turning cold.
If Finn <i>won’t </i><i>go </i><i>after </i><i>Nadine</i><i>, </i><i>then </i><i>I’ll </i><i>take </i><i>revenge </i><i>myself</i><i>! </i>
She told the cab driver coldly, “Take me to the apartment at the address I sent you.”
The driver paused. “Miss, people who live at that apartment are big shots and elites of Aetheris. Why would you want to go there?”
As he spoke, he checked Tess’s face in the rearview mirror. No matter how many times he looked, he couldn’t get over how striking she was.
Tess nodded in silence, her hand tightening under her sleeve.
“We’re here.”
As soon as the car stopped, Tess thanked the driver and got out quickly.
She stood in front of the expensive–looking building, the driver’s words echoing in her mind.
Big shots <i>and </i><i>elites </i>of <i>Aetheris</i><i>… </i><i>Did </i><i>he </i><i>mean </i><i>people </i>like <i>Nadine</i><i>? </i>
She was <i>someone </i>who <i>barely </i><i>coasted </i><i>through college</i><i>, </i><i>yet </i>now <i>people </i><i>call </i><i>her </i><i>an </i><i>elite</i>? <i>They </i><i>really </i><i>have </i><i>no </i>idea who she <i>is</i><i>. </i>
All <i>of </i><i>this</i><i>… </i><i>they </i><i>should </i><i>have </i><i>been </i><i>mine</i>.
Tess bit her lip and walked right in.
“Miss, may I ask-”
The security guard reached out to stop her, but Tess just gave him a cold nce and stated her name, introducing herself.
“Move aside.”
Her tone got even colder. The guard hesitated. Realizing that this woman shared the samest name as Nadine, he wondered if they were sisters.
Knock knock.

“Who is it?”
Nadine opened the door while still glued to her phone, never looking up.
When there was no reply for a while, she looked up in annoyance.
When she saw who was at the door, she froze.
Tess stood silently in the doorway, staring her down with that chilling smirk.

Nadine’s heart skipped a beat, and she forced a guilty smile. “Tess? What are you doing here <i>… </i>
“Ahhh!”
Before she could finish, Tess mmed the door wide open and grabbed Nadine by the hair.
The searing pain tore straight through her scalp and shot into her bones.
Nadine’s eyes widened. “What are you doing? There are surveince cameras here! Are you out of your mind?!”
“Thanks for the reminder.” Tess sneered.
Nadine screamed, but Tess ignored her, dragging her into the apartment by the hair without any expression.
Nadine turned pale with fear. A chilling sense of dread crept through her whole body, wiping away all her usual niceties and the gentle image she kept up in public.
She looked at Tess in terror before shrieking for help. “Help! Somebody help! Help me!”
“Help?”
Tess let out a coldugh, yanking even harder so Nadine’s face twisted in pain. “Tess, what are you trying to do?”
Tess scoffed. “What am I trying to do?”
Bang!
The sound of the door mming shut cut Nadine off.
Nadine crouched down in pain as Tess red at her from above, her gaze icy,
“You think just because Finn can’t figure out what you did, you’ll get away with it?”

She let out a bitterugh, as if mocking Nadine’s naivety.
Her pale face took on a sinister grin, and Nadine could feel fear crawling up her back.
“What? I don’t understand
“You don’t understand?”
