She shook her head fast, clearly rattled. “What are you talking about? What do you want?”
Imogen saw the reaction and immediately felt more certain than ever. She lifted her chin, puffed out her chest, and barked out a demand. “Let go of me first. Then maybe try begging. If I’m in a good mood, I might keep this between us. After all, you were married <i>to </i>the richest guy in Aetheris. People still recognize your face. If this gets out, it won’t look good.”
Imogen squared her shoulders like she’d already won.
Tess just stared at her. Imogen thought she’d backed her into a corner and grinned harder.
Tess suddenly burst outughing, gripping her stomach. The calm, collected mask she always wore was gone.
Imogen blinked, thrown off by the sudden change. A flush of anger crept up her neck.
“What the hell are youughing at? You really think I won’t tell anyone?!”
She was practically growling now.
Tess let go of her hand.
The grip around Imogen’s neck vanished. She had no clue what Tess was up to.
“Who exactly are you nning to tell? And what will you tell them?”
Tess folded her arms and leaned back, watching her like she had all day.
Imogen felt a jolt. This wasn’t going like she thought. But she’d been bullied enough in prison. Tess was the only one she’d ever had the upper hand with, and she wasn’t about to let that slip.
“Your ex–husband. Your family. I’ll tell them you’re a shameless homewrecker. You’ve embarrassed every woman out there. No wonder your ex dumped you. A woman like you? You’re a red g with legs.”
Tessughed even louder and pulled out her phone. Her fingers swiped the screen fast.
Imogen frowned. “What are you doing?”
Tess arched a brow and tapped into the call log. “You wanted to tell my ex? I’ll call him for you.”

Chapter 748 Tess‘ Move
Imogen looked down and froze when she saw the contact name in bold. Finn.
Tess raised an eyebrow again, still watching her.
Imogen looked like she’d seen a ghost.
Had she lost her mind?
What part of this situation was supposed to be good?
She was still processing when Felicity caught on.

If Tess was being this casual, then there was no way what Imogen said could be true.
She was straight–up lying.
“Fine! Do it!”
Imogen snapped and snatched the phone from Tess, hitting the call button.
The phone rang once. Then it picked up.
“Tess? What made you call me out of the blue?”

A low, warm voice came through. Calm, but there was a spark of excitement he couldn’t hide.
Imogen froze.
Wait a second. Weren’t they divorced? Why did Finn sound like that?
“Uh… Mr. Lock?”
She tried to brush off the weird vibe and pushed forward.
The man’s voice dropped like a cold front hitting the room. His tone turned sharp and ice- cold.
“Who are you? Why do you have Tess‘ phone?”
His voice was tense. The kind of tone that came with a warning.
Imogen instantly knew who it was. So this really was the infamous billionaire Finn from
Aetheris.
Wasn’t he the one who put Tess in prison?

Word was they split right after she got out. But now? It didn’t sound like they were over at all.
Something felt seriously off, but she gritted her teeth and plowed ahead. “I–I used to be Tess’s cellmate. Mr. Lock, I’ve got something huge to tell you.”
He didn’t say a word at first. The silence on the line somehow made the air around her go freezing cold.
“Talk.”
One syble. Ice–cold.
Yep. ssic CEO.
Imogen wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her heart was pounding.
“Since you divorced Tess, she’s alreadytched onto another sugar daddy! She clearly never cared about you!”
She piled it on, voice full of fake outrage.
Tess didn’t even try to stop her. She nced over at Felicity and cracked a grin, like she was watching liveedy.
Imogen didn’t notice a thing. She kept going, digging the hole deeper.
“Tess, are you right there?”
Imogen had just finished her rant and was waiting for Finn to blow up. But all she got was a calm question from the other end.
Tess looked surprised for a second. Then she answered tly. “Yeah.”
“Mr. Lock, she’s trying to get you to hear some gossip about me. I gave her the phone so you could hear it yourself. Got it? Want her to repeat it?”
Tess said it like she was offering dessert after dinner.
“No need.
“Hey, you. Give the phone back to her.”
Finn’s voice was still cool, but when he said “her,” it was almost … gentle.
