Chapter 300 Tess Had Changed
“Try calling her. Maybe she blocked my number,” Kylie suggested.
Henry’s expression worsened.
He pulled out his phone and called.
This time, it actually connected.

His brows furrowed. “Tess, you need to get to Lock Group Private Hospital right now! Do you know what happened to Nadine? As her older sister, I’ve taught you that Nadine has no father until we took her in. You need to make her feel the warmth of family.”
After he spoke, there was silence on the other end of the line.
Tess, are you deaf? I’m talking to you!”
Henry’s face grew darker by the second. He turned and snapped at Kylie, “This is the daughter you brought up.”
Kylie’s face turned stiff, and a wave of embarrassment washed over her.
Her daughter had beaten up their beloved adopted daughter. They were supposed to be a family. What would people think if this got out?
“Have you ever heard of a father who neglects his own daughter to take care of an adopted one? Henry, just ask Kylie. I’ve cut ties with the Embers, so don’t think you can bossing me
around”
Tess’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
Her tone was light, but it was filled with mockery.
Henry was furious, his eyes practically blazing.
“Tess, what do you mean? Are you saying you want to cut ties with me, too?
On the other end, Tess laughed.
It was a sorrowfud laugh. Henry, sometimes I wonder if I’m even your real daughter. Maybe you’re Nadine’s mal father
Fine, let’s cut ties I don’t have a mon or a dad you’re as good as dead to me

Tess clenched the phone tighter, years of bottled–up anger rising inside her like a volcano about to blow.
If it weren’t for her grandmother, she would’ve severed every connection to the Embers long
ago.
“No surprise there–you’re your grandmother’s handiwork. That uneducated old woman raised you into this trash. You can’t even compare to Nadine!”
“Henry, shut up!”
Her voice snapped sharply, brows furrowed deeply at his insult toward her grandmother.
“What gives you the right to bring up Grandma? Sometimes I feel like you’re a stranger. Bet you were hoping to cut me off completely while I was in prison. The Embers make me sick!”
“And what about your grandmother’s belongings? You don’t want those either?”
Henry thought he had found Tess’s weak spot. He calmed his anger, adopting a superior tone. “Go to Lock Group Private Hospital now to donate blood for Nadine. Do that, and I’ll think about letting you have her things, or else I’ll just burn them.”
His voice was sharp, leaving no room for argument.
As if Tess owed Nadine something from the start.
Tess loathed his arrogant attitude, but the mention of her grandmother’s belongings caused a sharp pain in her heart.
The nonstop ringing had already woken Layla. But she seemed to sense Tess’s serious mood and stayed quiet, watching her with wide, round eyes.
Tess’s fingers tightened, the taste of blood rising to her tongue.
Her long silence made Henry smirk, like he’d already claimed victory.
He proudly lifted his chin, thinking he had Tess completely under his control. “The deluxe suite on the third Bour. Don’t keep us waiting
