Chapter 459 Their Anger

“No, Tess is fine it’s those people who treated her unfairly.”

Abel quickly filled them in on what he knew about Tess‘ past.

The car went silent. Only his steady voice filled the space as he told the story.

The more he explained, Violet who usually never flinched, showed a flicker of change in her expression.

When he mentioned Tess being kicked out of the Ember Residence, Benjamin slammed his cane hard against the car floor.

The noise rattled the whole vehicle.

“Unbelievable! Since Kylie married Henry, she’s completely lost it! And now she’s even doing this to her daughter!” Benjamin clutched his chest, fuming. “And Nadine? If what you’re saying is right, her showing up wasn’t a coincidence. These leeches! How could they treat Tess like that?”

Olivia spoke up immediately, “Violet, forget looking for the Embers. Let’s go to

She glanced at Abel.

“Mars Legal,” he told them quickly.

“That’s it!” Olivia waved. “We’re heading to my granddaughter’s company!”

Compared to Kylie, who was hopeless, Olivia was way more interested in meeting her outstanding granddaughter that Abel had talked about.

Violet didn’t argue and just nodded.

“And then?” Benjamin leaned forward, waiting for Abel to continue.

Abel hesitated. The next part involved Shannon.

Benjamin had pointed out that Nadine’s appearance wasn’t random, and he was right. But the public didn’t know the full story yet, and Tess hadn’t come forward to explain anything. Abel was unsure if he should tell them everything.

While he was thinking, the car suddenly stopped.

“We’re here.”

At the driver’s reminder, they all exchanged glances. Benjamin interrupted Abel, “Let’s get on the plane first!”

They rushed into the airport.

Abel didn’t hang back and helped with their luggage, acting way more attentive than anyone expected.

The three followed him. They first glanced at his tall, straight posture, and then exchanged silent looks, each lost in thought.

Soon, the plane to Aetheris was airborne.

Aetheris, Mars Legal.

Tess had no clue that people were coming to Aetheris for her. She stood with her arms crossed, watching Nadine put on a crying

act.

Nadine bit her lip, embarrassed. But remembering Henry’s instructions, she forced herself to face Tess.

Tess, you’re misunderstanding me.”

ted an eyebrow, looking completely uninterested.

Seeing how cold Tess was made Nadine frustrated. Thinking of her plan, she swallowed her anger to keep her act going.

Tears started running down Nadine’s cheeks. “What happened yesterday… It’s not what you think!

“You were having dinner with Max at the restaurant. I was there too, but you didn’t see me. I saw you drink the water he gave you, then went out. I got worried and followed you.

“But I knew if Max wanted to hurt you, there was nothing I could do. So I tried to make a scene to get help!”

Nadine glanced at Tess, worried she might have messed up the lines Henry told her to say.

On the surface, she was crying, looking pitiful.

Tess just stared and pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Nadine thought her plan was working.

Tess had always believed what people told her. Nadine didn’t know why Tess had changed so much after getting out of prison, but she didn’t think anyone could change that fast.

Taking a deep breath, Nadine reached for Tess‘ hand, but Tess pulled away.

Tess‘ eyes turned icy.

Nadine recoiled, pretending to be hurt. “I know you don’t want to forgive us. But we explained everything so many times. Dad and Mom are kind. They just worried about me being alone, so they paid more attention to me. It’s not that they don’t care about you. I didn’t expect you would not only misinterpret them, but also be so biased and reject me.”

Same old speech. Tess was fed up.

She rubbed her forehead, hiding her disgust for a moment.

Then, lowering her hand, her face went back to cold and blank.
