Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Are You Working As a Boy Toy Now?

Tess was speechless.

She shot Sydney a look that screamed, Are you stupid or something?

She was a designer, not some celebrity idol.

Sydney’s face went pale, then twisted. “What’s with that look?”

“What’s going on here?”

A dazed male voice cut in.

Marc appeared, carrying a big load of toy blind boxes on his left shoulder and a pile of snacks in his right hand. He even had a lollipop in his mouth, making his words come out slurred and hard to understand.

The unexpected appearance made Sydney’s twisted expression freeze for a moment before she forced it back to normal. “You … why are you here?”

She reached up and fixed her hair.

Marc looked completely baffled. “This is the arrival area …

Connor stepped in and took some of the blind boxes from Marc.

Marc instinctively tried to hand a few to Tess, but Connor’s sharp glare stopped him cold. Left with no choice, Marc continued holding everything himself.

Nadine and Sydney watched the whole thing unfold and exchanged a look.

So Marc actually knew Tess?

Sydney felt like the whole world had gone crazy.

But seeing how natural they all were with each other, she felt even more stifled.

She’d spent the whole flight trying to chat him up in first class, and he hadn’t cared at all. Now he was all warm and friendly with Tess?

Anyone would feel awful being treated so differently.

Nadine’s fists clenched.

How did Tess even know him? And when did she even get acquainted with so many top names in the industry?

Something’s off!

Tess is just a stiff, rule–obsessed bookworm who only knows how to memorize laws and study case files. She even spent a whole year in prison. No way she could’ve built such a wide network alone. Someone had to be backing her!

Nadine’s eyes settled on Connor almost without her realizing it.

He was well past his youth, yet he carried none of the sluggishness that often came with age. Instead, he was composed and striking presence that put people at ease.

Connor was the CEO of Cavrielle for Crorus. Marc was one of the brand’s star designers. Of course they’d know each other.

Nadine clung to that thought, trying to reassure herself.

Even though Tess had long made it clear that she was Selina, Nadine continued to shut out that truth. In fact, Selina was Cavrielle’s new design icon, so it was perfectly natural for her to know Marc. But Nadine kept fooling herself, insisting that this was impossible.

Seeing that the two had finally quieted down, Tess and her group wanted to leave. However, Nadine blocked their way, seemingly unwilling to give up.

Nadine bit her lip, looking on the verge of tears, her tear–filled eyes brimming with reluctance.

Tess was startled by her act and felt a sinking feeling settle in her chest.

“Tess, you and Finn aren’t divorced yet, so how can you shamelessly date a strange man alone like this?”

Nadine’s face was full of indignation, as if she were deeply disappointed in Tess.

Her sharp voice instantly drew the attention of the relatives waiting around the arrival area.

Tess arched a brow. She had guessed right–Nadine was about to stir up trouble again.

“Could it be that the elder sister is secretly cheating and got caught by her upright younger sister?”

“Oh my! That’s wild! Wait… why do those people look kind of familiar?”

The murmurs around them showed no sign of stopping, and some busybodies even pulled out their phones, intending to film.

Nadine was clearly satisfied with the stir she had caused, and she even took the chance to throw a provocative glance when no one was watching.

Tess had long grown used to her foolish antics. “They are my work partners, so why did they suddenly turn into some scandalous dates when you talk about them? You’re so worried about your Finn–if he and I end up divorcing early because of the rumors you spread, wouldn’t that make it easier for you to marry him? Isn’t that what you want?”

Her words laid Nadine’s intentions bare for everyone to see.

In an instant, the faces of the onlookers changed.

This wasn’t just a scandalous drama–it was turning into a family soap opera!

Marc stood on the side, chewing his candy and clicking his tongue in amazement.

Was this really the Tess he knew?

The Tess he remembered had the cool, gentle charm of misty rain. But now she seemed like a sudden gust of wind, sometimes soft, sometimes sharp, striking without leaving a trace.
