Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 You Don’t Get to Tell Me What to Do

“Yeah.”

Finn answered absentmindedly, sounding irritated.

Nadine glanced over at him nervously, then lowered her gaze, looking both wronged and dejected.

Kylie stepped forward to shield her. She couldn’t help but say to Finn, “Mr. Lock, I have no idea what Tess told you after she got out of prison, but she grew up with me and her grandmother. She’s been a liar since she was a child. Why else would I have left my own daughter for my mother to raise? And now, even as an adult, she still lies to get her way. She even slandered the woman who saved my life!”

Her anger flared as she spoke, and she pulled up the death certificate on her phone to show Finn.

After Henry got back to Ember Group, he had his assistant send Kylie the certificate.

Finn had heard a few things about the Embers. He vaguely remembered the car accident from more than 10 years ago.

Shannon fell off a cliff while trying to protect Kylie. People said there hadn’t even been a complete body to recover. Her remains were left at a funeral home for two days before they were quickly cremated.

Even if Tess had a grudge against the Embers, she shouldn’t have dragged Shannon into it.

Finn’s expression grew colder, his face unreadable in the dim light.

“I’ll take care of it.”

He replied quietly and had Zane drive the two women home.

Night settled in, but Tess still hadn’t returned.

Glancing up at the thick night sky, Finn crouched by the light, his shadow cast long and lonely.

Just then, a pair of elegant Cavrielle leather flats came into his view.

He looked up abruptly.

Tess was standing in front of him.

Her face was blank, and her eyes were devoid of emotion.

Looking at her, Finn felt as if something had slammed into his chest. He opened his mouth, but the words caught in his throat.

“Did you bring them here this afternoon?”

It was Tess who spoke first.

She’d left to take care of other things before coming back to Evermount Height, mostly to avoid that mob.

She just hadn’t expected Finn to still be here.

Finn heard the blame in her tone and stood up to explain, “It was Henry.”

Tess’s brow tightened, but she didn’t say anything.

There was no reason for Finn to lie about this, but how did Henry know where she lived?

She pushed aside the fleeting suspicion.

Tess sneered to herself. Everything I’m doing is justified.
