Chapter 206 I Doubt I Matter

“Mommy… Mommy…

Every day, Layla’s words were getting easier to understand.

A tiny, warm hand touched Tess’s check, light as a puff of air, brushing away her tears.

Her lashes fluttered, and she hugged Layla tighter.

From the side, Layla’s face looked so much like Finn’s–too much like his–and it made her chest ache even worse.

She slammed her fist into the mattress, imagining tearing Finn apart.

But thinking about the fight earlier, she knew he hadn’t been bluffing about Cavrielle. If he wanted to buy it just to spite her, he could.

Her hands curled into fists, but for Connor’s sake–so he wouldn’t get dragged into this–she decided to get in touch with Marc for Connor’s number. She’d cancel their meeting tomorrow.

Marc sent the contact almost right away, then asked if she’d taken care of things yet.

That was when Tess realized that she hadn’t even checked what happened after she posted her statement earlier. She sent him her X handle, then logged in herself.

Marc opened her page too.

Half an hour ago, she posted something, and it already had millions of views, with over a million likes and comments.

“Hi everyone, this is Tess. I want to clear up the rumors. Mr. Connor and I are strictly business partners. A year ago, I bought Cavrielle shares. So, yes, I’m a shareholder. Those photos going around online were taken while we were talking about business. Also, I am Cavrielle’s chief designer, Selina, and we were discussing the newest design ideas.”

Her words hit the internet like a rock dropped in still water, sending out waves of chaos.

Most of the replies were mocking.

“She’s seriously lost it–calling herself Selina now?”

“Her? No way. Selina’s been one of the top designers for years. People fake it all the time, but she’s the boldest faker yet.”

“Shameless. I’ve already DMed the real Selina to expose her.”

And just like that, the whole thing blew up even more. By speaking up, she’d basically poured gas on the fire.

She hadn’t expected it to go this far.

“You’re really gonna put yourself as Selina?” Marc’s voice sounded half–surprised, half–worried.

“Yeah. If I don’t, people will just go on to make things up. And now Cavrielle and Mr. Hale are getting pulled in. I can’t just sit here.”

Her answer seemed to wake Marc up. “Alright, I’ll get in touch with your personal studio and the X team handling your account.”

Back when Tess first invested, she’d told everyone she didn’t care about design or running shares–she just wanted to focus on being a lawyer. Cavrielle hired pros to take care of it all.

But the title of chief designer wasn’t fake–she used the best materials, and her designs had made a serious profit over the years.

Later, Cavrielle had a trust company handle her dividends, and the money had quietly piled up into something huge.

“Since I couldn’t reach you before, I had to wait for you to contact me. That’s why I never told you about the money you’ve had all this time.”

Even at her lowest–broke, sweeping streets with Layla, worried about rent–Tess never imagined her random investment had already made her quietly wealthy.

Marc’s words left her stunned.

“I’m sending you the trust fund manager’s contact, plus your X account manager.”

Her phone lit up with several new messages.

She already had Gillian’s massive inheritance now, so cash wasn’t a problem–but still, the irony was heavy.
