She had just run into Finn, and Finn had threatened her, telling her he would make her give in–then right after that, Charles got slammed with this huge debt.

How could these two things not be connected?

Tess had seen that contract with her own eyes. Her gut told her Finn had been planning this for a long time.

When had it started?

Had he already set things up the moment Charles took her in?

Back then, when she was at her lowest, it was Charles who had given her and Layla a roof over their heads. Finn had not shown up then, but now he would not even let Charles off the hook.

Her hands trembled with anger. She bit down so hard she tasted blood.

Finn had to have known for ages that she was living at Charles’s place.

Now he was holding Charles’s entire future hostage just to force her to bow her head.

All for Nadine. He really went all in.

Tess’s fists clenched tighter, but then a chill crawled up her spine.

How did Finn find her, anyway?

She took a deep breath and made herself think clearly. After sorting through the tangled mess in her mind, she realized that Max was the only one who knew. Could he have feelings for Nadine, so he tipped Finn off on purpose to lure Nadine back?

However, he was just using Charles to force her to apologize to Nadine.

To put it bluntly, it was just his way of breaking her in or punishing her.

So maybe… just maybe… he did not know about Layla yet.

Her heart finally settled for a second, and then immediately dropped like a stone into her

gut.

Why couldn’t Finn just let her be?

Tess closed her eyes, so tired she felt hollow.

Why wouldn’t he just leave her alone? Why?

She was not the Ember family’s precious daughter anymore. She could not be that brilliant, unstoppable lawyer either. Now she was mopping floors, taking any tough job she could just to get by. She had already let go of so much, so why was she still stuck in his trap?

When she opened her eyes again, a thin crescent moon had already climbed up outside. Its cold light was spilling through the trees, and their shadows were stacked like a pack of silent wolves.

Tess’s heartbeat sped up.
