Chapter 223 Felix Arrives

It was the first time he had ever heard Tess this furious.

The thought made him hurry.

As he reached the street, a taxi rolled to a stop at the gate.

She glanced at the unfamiliar guard, gave a smooth explanation about knowing the owner, and walked in without resistance.

When Felix reached the doorway, he spotted a hand raised high–ready to strike Tess‘ pale cheek.

His eyes widened. He surged forward to block it.

But Tess moved faster. She caught Kylie’s wrist with a sharp, unshakable grip.

A year behind bars had strengthened her hands more than anyone expected.

Kylie’s hand stopped midair. It trembled, yet she refused to lower it. She glared at Tess. “How dare you resist me!”

Felix stumbled up, breathless and sweating, stepping between them. “Ma’am, I only let you in because you said you were Mrs. Lock’s mother. And you’re trying to hit her?”

Kylie burned with embarrassment. First Tess had stopped her. Now a security guard was talking back.

“And who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a guard dog! Do not take that attitude with me!”

Felix’s face tightened, but he stayed silent. He planted himself in front of Tess, ready in case Kylie tried again.

“Next time, make sure they’re stopped dead in their tracks before they can come in.”

Tess shot Felix a sharp look.

His jaw clenched. “If I’d known what they’d do, I wouldn’t have just stopped them. I’d have called the cops and had them both thrown out.”

Heidi’s temper flared. “You damn guard. You think you can throw us out? Do you even know who you’re messing with?”

“If you hurt Mrs. Lock, you’ll pay for it. And forget about running away.”

Felix shoved his sleeve up, showing the hard muscle on his arm.

Kylie and Heidi froze. “What’s that supposed to mean? You gonna hit us?”

Their sudden hesitation made Felix smirk.

“What the hell is going on?”

The sultry voice sliced through the air.

Kylie and Heidi turned toward it like they had found backup. “Nadine!”

“What are you doing here? You should be in the hospital!”

“Nadine! Your sister’s letting the guard attack us. This is unbelievable!”

Kylie fussed over her, and Heidi clung to her side. She wanted to use Nadine’s influence to make Tess bow.

Nadine smiled faintly, her skin pale. “I was worried, so I checked myself out early.”

She looked at Tess with open disapproval. “How could you do this? It’s Mom and Aunt Heidi, and you’re letting Felix go after them. What if Finn hears about this?”

Felix blinked, glancing between Tess and the three women.

Is she sure she’s Mrs. Lock’s mother?

Feels more like she’s their mortal enemy from the way they treat her.

Tess‘ expression stayed cold. She didn’t even look at them.

“Felix, throw them out. All three of them.”

She waved her hand and walked toward the stairs with Layla in her arms.

Felix didn’t get the story, but his–boss had given her orders. He opened the door and blocked the women. “Please leave.”

“Felix, think about what you’re doing. My mom and aunt already spoke with Finn. They’re

Her sharp tone made him hesitate and glance at Tess.
