Tess frowned. Prune looked crushed. Reporters rushed inside, cameras already raised.
“Ms. Ember, we just got breaking news saying you faked the car crash! They im you were never hurt and tried to use the story to get money out of Ms. Reagen. Is that true?”
“Ms. Ember, are you using shady methods to boost yourpany reputation?”
“Ms. Ember, can you show us your injuries?”
sh after sh exploded in her face. The reporters looked like starving wolves spotting fresh prey. In seconds, they packed around Tess so tightly that even Raven and Lyra could barely see her.
Microphones were shoved so close they were almost hitting Tess’s mouth.
Tess’s face darkened, colder than ever, though it was rare for her.
Jolie’s excited voice cut through the noise. “Yeah, Tess, you lied and imed I hit you with my car. If you were really hurt, how are you out of the hospital after just a few days? Come on, let the reporters check your injuries!”
The room erupted with her words.
They pushed even harder, some even reaching to pull up Tess’s sleeves.
Raven finally fought her way to Tess’s side and smacked away a hand.
“Touch her again and I’m calling 911!”
Her voice cracked like a whip. She swept a fierce re across the room.
Her warning was sharp enough to make several reporters actually step back.
Their words caught in their throats. They looked at each other, wide–eyed and unsure, and not

a single one of them dared to step forward.

Jolie, seeing her moment slip, raised her voice again to stir things up again.
“If you’re really injured, show us! Why hide it? Feeling guilty?”
“Yeah! We won’t touch you. You show us yourself!”
“Right, why cover up unless you’re lying? Maybe everyone’s right about you.”

The reporters didn’t dare shout now, but they whispered nonstop, buzzing around Tess like flies. Tess’s jaw tightened in annoyance. She looked one second away from exploding.
Lyra finally snapped. As she spoke, she lifted her badge.
“Whoever makes the im brings the proof. If you think she faked it, you show the evidence. You don’t get to corner someone and force them to prove anything.”
The Aetheris District Court emblem gleamed. That shut them up fast. The crowd froze, eyes darting. None were sure what to say in the situation.
Sienna frowned, ncing between Lyra and Raven.
She hadn’t expected Tess’s people to be this capable.
“Also, if she wants to rebuild herpany, she doesn’t need your help.”
A cold, deep voice rolled in from the doorway. It carried a sharp chill, almost like a st of winter air, and the weight of it made people instinctively step back.
Sienna was already annoyed. Now her face darkened even more as she turned.
<i>Who </i><i>is </i><i>this</i>? <i>Who </i><i>has </i><i>the </i><i>nerve </i><i>to </i><i>interrupt </i><i>her </i><i>and </i><i>ruin </i><i>her </i><i>n </i><i>right </i><i>in </i><i>front </i><i>of </i><i>everyone</i><i>? </i>
<i>Someone </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>Shaws</i><i>? </i>
Sienna’s eyes flickered, surprise tugging at her thoughts.
Aetheris truly was full of hidden talents.
Today, she hadn’t just run into Olivia and Benjamin, two legends who rarely showed public, but she had also seen someone she hadn’t expected at all. Finn Shaw. No, now he was Finn Lock.

Tess was surrounded so tightly that cameras and microphones were practically pressed against. her face. A whole wall of people boxed her in.
Finn didn’t say a word. His jaw tightened as he walked forward, each step steady and cold. And without anyone telling them to, people moved. They just parted for him, opening a path for him.
Finn lifted his arm and brushed aside the microphones that were almost poking Tess in the
eye.
He stood tall, broad–shouldered, and calm, like a mountain nted between Tess and the crowd. He didn’t need to say anything. His presence alone was a shield.
When he turned his head, his icy gaze swept across the room.
The chatter died instantly. Every voice was shoved back down people’s throats. Silence dropped like a weight.
Reporters stared at each other, eyes wide in fear. They all recognized him. How could they not?
It was Finn.
But some of them exchanged confused looks.
<i>Wait</i><i>. </i><i>Weren’t </i><i>Tess </i><i>and </i><i>Finn </i><i>already </i><i>divorced</i><i>? </i><i>Why </i><i>is </i><i>he </i><i>here</i>?
Tess seemed just as stunned. Her pupils widened for a moment before she lowered her gaze again, masking everything behind calm brows.
“Why are you here?”
Her voice was soft. t. Like she wasn’t letting any emotion show.
Finn’s dark eyes dimmed for a second. He hesitated, almost as if arguing with himself, then let out a smallugh. “You don’t want to see me?”
He didn’t wait for her answer. He turned back to the reporters, and his expression darkenedpletely.
Finn snickered, “If I didn’te, these people would’ve walked all over you.”
