Chapter 129 Don’t Try to Play Me
“Mr. Lock, are you trying to force me to do something against my will again?”
Charles shot back, unwilling to back down.
But Finn wasn’t the least bit annoyed. His eyes narrowed slightly as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
He looked at Charles again, an inexplicable heaviness rising in his chest. Still, he uttered a sentence.
“She’s at Evermount Villa.”
Charles had worked at Lock Group for many years. He understood Finn’s stubborn nature all too well, and he also knew… that Finn’s feelings for Tess weren’t ordinary.
Charles’s eyes narrowed, the calm facade he had been maintaining finally beginning to crack.
Finn had actually stooped so low as to use Tess as a threat!
A year ago, he had been the one to send her to prison. Now that she was back living at her old residence, was she being subjected to deliberate mistreatment?
Charles clenched his jaw. His eyes were filled with utter contempt for Finn’s shameless tactics.
But facing that look of disapproval, Finn remained unfazed. He gave a cold, mocking smile. “Speak. Tell me everything you know.”
Charles’s arm trembled slightly. Bitterness lodged in his chest, but he still muttered in a low voice, “Nadine. Call her over.”
“Nadine?”
Finn repeated with a frown, his brows heavily knotted.
He suddenly yanked Charles by the collar. “What does this have to do with Nadine? Don’t try to play me.”
Meeting Charles’s defiant gaze, Finn’s fingertips turned cold.
If Nadine really was involved…
Finn’s throat bobbed, a wave of unease creeping into his chest.
Judging from Charles’s attitude, it seemed the leak of Lock Group’s trade secrets a year ago might not have been Tess’s doing, after all. Somehow, it was connected to Nadine…
In that case, everything he did over the past year–his attention to Nadine and all the accusations he hurled at Tess…
Finn’s lips pressed into a hard line. He stepped back in shock.
To Charles, Finn’s reaction looked more like disbelief that Nadine could be implicated.
He stared coldly at the once lofty man whose face had gone pale, his heart quietly crying out in defense of Tess.
Someone as good as her … How did she end up with the wrong person like Finn? If it had been him instead…
Charles’s heart surged with emotion, but a sudden thought doused it like cold water, and that feeling instantly faded. He slowly lowered his head and forced himself to calm down.
In the end, Finn still told Zane to call her in.
Nadine arrived at the file room looking confused.
After what happened on the street earlier, Finn didn’t ask her to accompany him in reviewing the case files.
In the past, whenever he came to the file room, he always brought her along.
Back in her office, she had fumed and smashed things in frustration.
How could Finn change so suddenly?

She lifted her head in a daze. The three men before her were all staring at her intently, as if they were interrogating a prisoner.
