Chapter 310 Tess‘ Plan

She stepped forward, feeling guilty, and met Tess’s smiling gaze.

“It’s nothing. I just tidied up as I was working.”

Wanda froze for a moment.

Tess was smiling, but it wasn’t the kind of warm, comfortable smile that made you feel at ease. It was like a leaf floating lightly on the water, just on the surface.

“Mrs. Lock, are you blaming me for the last design leak? Or … do you think I was the one who did it …” She suddenly asked.

Tess was taken aback, cutting her off seriously. “Wanda, why would you think that?”

She stepped forward and took Wanda’s hand. “When I got out of jail, if you hadn’t helped me, I couldn’t have escaped from Evermount Villa. I should be thanking you.”

Hearing this, Wanda lowered her head, pretending to wipe away tears. “I don’t understand how that whole mess happened … “Tess held her hand firmly, nodding repeatedly. “Wanda, I get why you’re worried, but how could I not trust you? As for Bessie … ”

Tess’s eyes flickered, and she hesitated to continue.

She changed the subject. “Don’t worry about her. Are you adjusting well here?”

Wanda looked at Tess and then squinted her eyes. “Of course, it’s a lot better than working at the supermarket. I should be thanking you, Mrs. Lock.”

Tess just smiled faintly. “That’s good. I’m going home now.”

“All right!” Wanda called after her. “It’s just me and Bessie in the studio. I was worried … I don’t want any misunderstandings between us.”

Tess didn’t wait any longer and took a taxi home.

As soon as she was out of Wanda’s sight, her smile disappeared.

By the time she got to Evermount Height, the lights were on. The moment she pushed open the door, she was met with Bessie’s anxious face.

“Tess!” Bessie cried out in surprise.

She grabbed Tess‘ hand, checking on her repeatedly. “Where have you been, Tess?”

Tess couldn’t help but recall the rough way she had been dragged to the hospital not long ago. A cold look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

She gave Bessie an apologetic smile. “Sorry to worry you. I’m fine. Where’s Layla?”

Tess glanced inside but didn’t see the familiar, cute little face.

Bessie rubbed her head. “Layla was a bit fussy today. She kept crying at first, so I got worried that something was wrong with you, since you have such a strong connection. But she drank her milk and went to sleep without any fuss.

“Look at her. She’s so peaceful.”

Bessie led Tess into the bedroom. Layla’s eyes were closed, her long, thick lashes casting soft shadows.

Seeing how calm and peaceful she was, Tess finally relaxed.

She quietly turned off the light. “Let’s talk outside.”

When Bessie realized Tess hadn’t had dinner yet, she immediately put on an apron and started cooking.

When Bessie brought the hot dishes to the table, Tess poured her a drink and said seriously, “I might need you to come with me to Ember Residence tomorrow.”

“Ember Residence? Sure.”

Bessie kept putting food on Tess‘ plate without looking up, agreeing immediately. But then she seemed to remember something and looked up. “The Embers? Isn’t that the family you decided to cut ties with?”

She had already heard about Tess’s situation at home.

Anyway, she didn’t have a very good impression of the people at Ember Residence.

How could they treat their child like that? Favoring an adopted child and ignoring their own, even taking her side on big issues. As a simple person from the country, she just couldn’t understand these rich people.

Tess briefly told her about being kidnapped and forced to donate blood to Nadine.

Bang!

As soon as she heard the story. Bessie slammed her utensils down on the table.

“Are they crazy?”

Bessie jumped up angrily, rolling up her sleeves like she was ready to fight. “They forced you to give her blood? Kidnapped you when you didn’t agree?

“Nadine isn’t even their real daughter, right? Your mom favors her, and your dad protects her, so who’s their own child?”

Bessie pounded her chest, trying to calm herself.

Tess couldn’t help but laugh. How was Bessie even more worked up than she was?

She stood, poured Bessie a glass of water, and told her to calm down, and then she explained her plan.

Bessie finally calmed down. She sat back down, propped her chin on her hand, and asked Tess, “So you want me to go to Ember Residence with you to get Gillian’s things?”

“That’s right”

Tess nodded firmly.

“Grandma is very important to me. I won’t take her things back in exchange for giving blood, but I also won’t let her belongings stay in that horrible place.

“So…”

The two of them looked at each other.

Tew showed a vicious smile. “If she won’t give them to me, then I’ll just take them.

“You don’t need to worry. Grandma left a will. Everything of hers belongs to me. It’s completely legal

Besie nodded quickly, then bravely thumped her chest. “Alright, Tess. I’d still be working hard sweeping the streets for a few hundred dollars. I have to help you with this, no matter what.”
