“You didn’t see it yourself, did you? Otherwise, I’d love to remind you how she looked then. So proud all her life–yet at the end, she was just an old mutt choking for breath, mouth wide open. It was hilarious …
“Nadine!”
Tess’s eyes went red. She raised her hand, ready to slap Nadine across the face.
How dare she say that? How could she?
On the other side of the room, Kylie was busy telling Bellamy’s assistant to walk him out. She could not catch every word, but when she saw Tess’s hand shoot up, her temples tightened in alarm. She was too far away to stop it. “What are you doing? Nadine, move!”
A sharp gust from Tess’s swing blew Nadine’s hair across her cheeks, draining the color from her face.
She only meant to push Tess’s buttons. She never thought Tess would really hit her!
Nadine squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the slap that never landed.
Instead, she felt a chill by her side.
She peeked and saw Tess’s hand frozen in midair, locked in a grip.
Wrapped around that wrist–an unmistakable, exclusive Rolex.
Tess looked up and her breath caught.
“Finn?” she whispered.
“Out of prison for a year and you still haven’t learned your lesson.”
His voice was low and cold, full of authority that made the air feel heavy.
Finn stood tall and broad, his shadow falling over Tess like a storm cloud.
His
eyes, sharp as blades, swept over her like they could cut right through. Her blood went cold.
His breath was so close above her head, carrying that same icy edge she would never forget.

Chapter 40 It Was Not About Her Slap
It dragged her right back to that day, the garden covered in falling crabapple petals, when she was dragged away in handcuffs. He did not even look at her when he said, “Maximum
sentence.”
Under her sleeves, Tess’s hands curled into fists so tight her nails dug into her palms.
This was the first time she had looked Finn in the eyes since getting out.
“What’s wrong? Prison knock the fight out of you?”
Her silence somehow made Finn even more annoyed, his tone dropping to an icy low.
However, before he could finish …
Smack!
Tess’s head jerked to the side, her pupils shrinking in disbelief.
Finn had caught her hand to stop her from slapping Nadine–only to let Nadine slap her instead.
The red mark Kylie had left on her cheek was still there, and now another one bloomed right next to it.
She pretended to be all panicked while explaining, her eyes wide and pitiful, but she did not spare Tess a single glance. Instead, she just looked up at Finn with those big, tearful eyes, acting all helpless and wronged.
