Chapter 286 Did I Mention La?
Chapter 286 Did I Mention La?
Smack!
Tess pped Nadine hard, knocking her to the floor, limp and helpless.
Her cars rang from the blow, and shes of light flickered before her eyes.
Smack!
Tess moved fast,nding another p before Nadine could react.
Smack!
Nadine let out a sharp, anguished scream, clutching her face with trembling hands.
Her cheek was burning–just a light touch made it throb even more.
“Do you get it now?”

That icy voice above her felt like a st of winter wind, snapping Nadine back to reality.
Her face twisted with pain and hatred as she finally came to her senses. “Tess, are you out of your mind? It was Joanna who hurt La, not me! Don’t you dare try to pin this on me!”
Tess’s raised hand paused midair at those words.
Just as Nadine thought she was safe and began to rx, Tess tilted her head and asked, “Did I mention La?”
Nadine froze, a chill sweeping over her.
The next second, Tess’s hand mped around her neck.
A year behind bars had left Tess stronger than ever. Even though she was fresh out of the hospital, she was still much tougher than someone as spoiled as Nadine.
Tess pressed down hard on Nadine’s neck, forcing her head lower with every push.
A cold fury filled her eyes.
Whenever Tess saw Nadine, she remembered the incident–those memories still made her shudder, leaving her waking up in a cold sweat at night.

When she arrived, she saw La shaking all over. The floor was covered in vomit, and Nadine and Joanna had justughed as they watched her suffer, taking sick pleasure in it.
Tess’s thoughts wandered, but she didn’t loosen her grip.
Nadine felt as if her neck might snap. She opened her mouth to say something, but Tess yanked her by the hair, dragging her forward.
“If Finn finds out what you’re doing to me, he’ll never let you off!”
She watched in horror as Tess approached, eyes wide with panic.
Tess ignored her threats and pped her twice more.
“I already warned you, stay away from me and my
child.”
Her eyes were cold as ice.
“I … I didn’t … It wasn’t me! Didn’t Finn already look into everything for you?”
Nadine cowered, her voice shaking.
“Oh, really? What did you give Joanna to keep her quiet?”
Tess gave a cold, creepy smile.
Nadine’s heart started to race. <i>Why </i><i>does </i><i>Tess </i><i>feel </i>so <i>intimidating </i><i>all </i><i>of </i><i>a </i>sudden<i>? </i>
Before she could process it, Tess dragged her over to the couch, her cold eyes sweeping over Nadine, making her feel even smaller. “Tess, I swear it wasn’t me … really … ”
She was shaking all over, her words tumbling out in fear.
Suddenly, Tess pulled out a small, gleaming knife.
She pressed the de against Nadine’s delicate, pale neck, making her break out in a cold
sweat.
“Tess, please, calm down! If you hurt me, Finn will never forgive you! You’ll end up in prison for the rest of your life!”
Tess only sneered. “Didn’t you guys already put me in prison once? That’s nothing new to me.”
Nadine heard the danger in her voice. Taking advantage of Tess’s distraction, she broke free from her grip and bolted toward the door in terror. “Help! Someone’s attacking me with a

A chill swept up behind her, and Tess grabbed her by the hair, dragging her back down to the floor.
Just as Nadine was about to lose hope, a sudden knock sounded at the door. “Hey? Nadine! Are you home?<b>” </b>
Tess froze for a second, recognizing Heidi’s voice.
Heidi stood outside, looking confused.
She had just finished grocery shopping. As she was walking down the hallway, she thought she heard Nadine calling for help.
Heidi knocked again. “Nadine?”
“Mmmph-”
Tess mped her hand over Nadine’s mouth, watching the door coldly.
So Heidi’s <i>still </i><i>around</i>. <i>That’s </i><i>quite </i><i>surprising</i>. <i>That </i><i>means </i><i>Kylie </i><i>probably </i>lives <i>nearby</i>, <i>too</i>.
It was <i>because </i><i>of </i><i>her </i><i>that </i><i>I </i><i>got </i><i>cornered </i><i>in </i><i>that </i><i>food </i><i>truck </i><i>park </i><i>alley</i>…
Tess’s grip tightened with the rush of emotion.
I’m Kylie’s <i>real </i><i>daughter</i>, <i>but </i><i>she </i><i>always </i><i>favored </i><i>Nadine</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>gave </i><i>up </i><i>hoping </i><i>for </i><i>fairness </i><i>long </i><i>ago</i>, <i>but </i><i>I </i>never <i>thought </i><i>she’d </i><i>actually </i><i>hurt </i><i>me</i><i>! </i>
Nadine’s face went from red to purple as Tess kept her mouth covered.
Somehow, she managed to break free. She immediately lunged at the door, making a huge
noise.
“Aunt Heidi! Help me! Tess is here. She’s trying to hurt me!”
Her piercing screams echoed down the hall, causing Heidi–who had been about to leave–to turn back instantly.
Heidi dropped her groceries and pressed her eye to the peephole. Sure enough, she saw Tess pulling Nadine by the hair, while Nadine struggled in vain, lookingpletely disheveled and
terrified.
