She was only looking at a few light lines on the screen, but through the chat window, Tess could almost picture Olivia boiling with anger, promising she would stand firm.
Thinking about those people always dragged her mood down, but this time the sadness disappeared in an instant.
Tess replied, “Grandma, how could I let them go so easily? I know you did a lot to learn what happened between Grandma Gillian and me. But there’s something you don’t know.
“When Grandma Gillian passed away, it happened right after I was sent to prison. Nadine went to see her on purpose, told lies, and twisted the truth just to upset her. That’s what made her blood pressure rise and fainted. And from what I heard, Henry was there too. But he didn’t call an ambnce right away to help her. Instead, he…”
Tess typed every word slowly. Near the end, tears dropped onto her screen.
Her throat felt tight. The anger she had held inside for so long finally had a way out, and it hurt so much that tears ran down her face.
All her life, she was the child nobody wanted–her father didn’t care, her mother didn’t love her either. But even so, she always felt lucky.
Because she had Gillian.
No matter who hated her or pushed her away, Gillian’s small acts always told her that she loved her.
But someone that kind… They actually killed her!
Tess clutched her chest hard. Tears streamed down with all the grief she had held inside.
She would never let those people get away.
So what if it was hard? So what if it caused trouble? She would lift them up high, then crush them down hard. Whatever pain she had suffered, she would repay it back, even more.
On the chat screen, Olivia’s side kept showing “typing” over and over. She clearly wrote something, then deleted it, again and again. After that came a long silence.
Finally, a message appeared.
“All right. I will support you, and so will the Larsons.”

Warmth spread through her. Tess touched her nose, trying to push down the sting of emotion.
How nice.
She had a grandmother again.

“But Tess, bing the Larsons‘ heiress isn’t a small deal. Even if you can’t move to Kingnd right now, you’ll have to goter. Everything in Krigan and Aetheris–just think of it as the past.”
Olivia said that on purpose. Tess could hear the worry in her tone–she was afraid Tess wanted to stay not only to deal with Henry and the others. Tess quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Grandma. After Grandma Gillian passed away, there was nothing here worth keeping me. Once I finish things, I’ll go to Kingnd.”
Olivia read Tess’s reply and nodded, satisfied on the other side of the phone.
“Good. But you should still find a bit of time to visit Kingnd soon. The Larsons are huge, and so are our businesses. A lot of old foxes have been waiting to meet you.”
Olivia’s eyes crinkled with a smile, but when she thought of those old foxes, her face darkened again.
Tess replied, “If it’s important, I cane in the next few days.”
“All right. Three days from now. Handle what you need to take care of first,” Olivia wrote.
The two agreed right away.
When Tess set down her phone, she noticed La had fallen asleep while holding onto her
arm.
Her soft little face looked like a sweet, fluffy marshmallow, and her small pink lips were like flower petals.
Tess felt a pang of guilt.
She was always busy with other things and didn’t spend enough time with La. Thankfully, La neverined and never drifted away because of it.
Tess looked at La with soft, gentle eyes.
When she went to Kingnd this time, she wasn’t going to leave La behind.

“La, I will take you to bed now.”

Tess whispered the words, then leaned down and kissed La on the cheek. After that, she lifted her carefully and walked quietly toward the bedroom.
Night rolled in across the sky.
At the same time, an unexpected guest slipped into Max’s private home.
“What are you doing here?” Max asked, watching Nadine with amusement.
Her whole face was flushed red.
Nadine looked like she was wrapped in a dark storm. Her hair hung over her cheeks and forehead, making shadows that hid most of her face.
“Is Nichs’s wife here with you?”
She skipped all polite talk. Her voice was icy and strange.
Max’s interest faded right away. He frowned. “What are you trying to do?”
“Give her to me. Henry hid her in your ce, but you already ‘sold‘ Nichs to Tess as a favor, didn’t you? You’re not trying to make peace with her out of kindness. The truth is, you’re excited because of the Larsons standing behind her.”
Nadine finally lifted her head. Her face came into view, but there was something dark and twisted in her expression.
Max studied her.
He had already heard the news about Tess and the Reagens, and all the news kept mentioning Nadine, too.
He said, “How could kindness be fake? I’ve loved her since we were young.”
