Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 What Do You Think? 

No way. I must be seeing things. How could a nobody like Tess actually be here? 

Thankfully, reason held Nadine back. She clenched her fists tightly, sitting stiffly near the back center. 

Then a familiar figure took a seat. 

Nadine’s eyes locked onto him immediately. 

Is that… Finn? 

Her lips parted slightly as she watched Finn settle calmly into the left side of the center seat, with Max on the right. 

Relieved it wasn’t Finn with Tess, she looked again at the two shadowed figures in the corner. 

Their faces were mostly hidden, with just faint outlines showing. Though the woman looked a lot like Tess, Nadine quickly looked 

away. 

Tess is basically unknown in all of Aetheris-only Finn and Max really know who she is. So it’s impossible for her to be sitting with another respected figure. 

Still, she’s the only woman in the front row! 

Nadine’s pride at Tess’s absence quickly turned into a flicker of jealousy sparked by that woman in the corner. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin!” 

The gavel struck, and the grand hall brightened, light reaching even the corner where Tess sat. 

Tess froze, still bent over, softly soothing Layla. 

The side of her face came into view, making Nadine’s pupils shrink. 

It really is Tess! 

Her breath caught, eyes fixed on that familiar profile. 

Why is she here? What right does she have to be here?! 

Nadine’s mind spun with fury, her face darkening. 

Her gaze snapped to the man beside Tess. 

Who is he? Why is Tess with him? 

Questions crashed through Nadine’s thoughts, her chest tightening with a jealousy so strong she almost felt faint. 

But since she sat high above, her agitation stayed unnoticed below. 

Finn calmly listened to the introductions overhead. He unlocked his phone and saw a message from Abel. 

It’s someone he’s been searching for for a long time? 

Finn’s expression shifted subtly, his brow furrowing. 

A rare hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.
