Chapter 605 Exposed Lies
Roxanne reached out, still trying to grab Finn.
<i>If </i><i>this </i><i>fails </i><i>too</i>…
Roxanne bit her lip, a hint of reckless resolve in her eyes.

Finn felt like his whole body was burning to the point of melting, yet he knew clearly—this woman was not Tess<b>. </b>
<i>Tess </i><i>has </i><i>never </i><i>smelled </i><i>this </i><i>sickly </i><i>sweet</i>.
<i>She </i><i>used </i><i>to </i><i>smell </i><i>faintly </i><i>fragrant</i>. <i>After </i><i>prison</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>became </i><i>cold</i><i>, </i>with <i>a </i><i>touch </i><i>of </i><i>bitterness</i>.
<i>This </i><i>woman </i><i>is </i><i>not </i><i>Tess</i>!
But for some reason, everything before his eyes seemed to spin, as if his own mind were pushing him closer to that mass of fog.
Thud!
Finn mmed a fist into the wall.
The pain shot up his arm straight into his head.
“Roxanne?”
He forced his barely standing body against the wall and looked at the woman in front of him, grinding his teeth in hatred.
Roxanne stared nkly, her eyes dropping to Finn’s hand.
It was the same arm with the IV. Fresh wounds had opened, and blood was already running down to his forearm.
<i>Does </i><i>he </i><i>really </i><i>not </i><i>want </i>to <i>have </i><i>one </i><i>night </i><i>with </i><i>me </i><i>the </i><i>badly</i>? <i>Bad </i><i>enough </i><i>to </i>hurt <i>himself</i><i>?! </i>
In that moment, Roxanne felt humiliation like she had never known before.
“Get out.”
Finn panted, like a wounded wolf still ready to strike.
Roxanne bit her lip hard as two hot streams of tears fell down her cheeks.

“Why? What’s so good about Tess? I even pretended to be her, and you still wouldn’t even touch me once!”
Roxanne was on the brink of copse. Herst mental barrier shattered as she screamed hysterically.
At the same time, Tess stopped outside the door
Julia nced at her. “Why don’t you go back and rest first?”
Tess pressed her lips together. “Let’s go in. Make sure nothing happens.”
Click.
Julia unlocked the door from the outside.
The hatred on Roxanne’s face froze, and she slowly turned her head.
Julia stood at the doorway, her expression dark.
“Put your clothes on.”
She frowned, her face cold.
Only then did Roxanne realize she meant her. She grabbed the nket and wrapped it around herself, still staring in panic at the two intruders.
Julia swept her eyes over the mess in the room and felt as if she had aged ten years on the
spot.
“Call another family doctor to dress unds.”
Her voice was firm.
Tess’s face was nk. She had noticed the moment she stepped inside–Finn’s burning gaze had locked onto her and never moved.
Finn was led to the next room by the staff to wai for an exam. When one maid tried to help him, he pped her hand away.
“Tess, it’s not what you think. I didn’t…”
He staggered toward Tess, fear in his eyes–somthing she had never seen in him before,
Tess looked at the man who was a head taller than her, now standing there so humbled, and it twisted something inside her.

Still, she turned her face away. “It has nothing to do with me anymore. Mr. Lock, you should go rest and wait for the examination.”
Finn shook his head and tried to reach for her again.
“Mr. Lock, you’re the victim here, but please show some restraint.”
Connor appeared out of nowhere and raised a hand to block Finn’s fingers.
Finn’s arm trembled.
Connor hadn’t even touched him, yet Finn looked as if he had taken a heavy blow. He stumbled back several steps and stopped only when his back hit the wall.
He gasped <i>for </i>air, his face drained of color.
Julia looked at Finn, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only rubbed her temples. “Take him out.”
Ring!
Suddenly, Connor’s phone rang. He covered it and turned the volume down, then nced around.
His eyes went back to Finn. He still didn’t feel at ease, so instead of stepping aside, he answered right there.
Connor nced at the screen.
<i>Marc</i>? <i>Why </i><i>would </i><i>he </i><i>be </i><i>calling </i><i>at </i><i>this </i><i>hour? </i>
He felt uneasy all of a sudden.
Sure enough, the moment he picked up, Marc’s frightened crying came through the phone. “Connor! Nichs and Rachel are gone!”
“What?”
For once, even Connor was shaken.
Tess, who had been silent beside him, heard it too. The indifference on her face was reced by rm. “What happened? How could two people just disappear?”
“I–I…” Marc stammered, then clenched his teeth. It’s my fault. I lied to you. I went out to have fun. I wasn’t even gone for long. When I came back, they had already disappeared!
“I had someone check the security cameras. It shows a man dressed like a delivery guy

showing up at the gate and then taking them away.”

Marc exined as fast as he could, panicking like an ant on a hot pan, desperate to make up for his mistake.
