Chapter 634

“Did you have someone go after her?” Marissa’s voice was icy, her body quivering with barely contained rage. She thought she was dealing with a naive and innocent young lady, but Tessa turned out to be a vile wolf in sheep’s clothing!

If she had known Tessa’s true colors earlier, she would have told Andrew to stay the hell away from that tramp!

Tessa was in pain all over, feeling like she had been dragged through the mud this evening, She clenched her teeth, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, and let out a bitter chuckle.

“Marissa, you do realize the consequences of that video, right? I’m getting married to Andrew one way or another, and I hope you can make arrangements. He wants to marry me, too.”

She was like a piece of disgusting gum, desperately sticking to Andrew. Marissa saw through her intentions, stepped forward, and slapped her again. “That slap was for Aubree. Despite that degrading video, she’s still a lady who’s been nurtured by the Clements family for years. Once Andrew dumps you, you’ll be nothing but a no–name, washed–up has–been. As long as the Clements family stands, we’ll protect Aubree. The Rowland family is done for, and you’re even. worse off than Aubree is! Fine, you want to marry Andrew, I’ll let you. But if that video gets out, you better be ready to face the Clements family’s wrath.”

Another tooth flew from Tessa’s mouth, and her heart was in so much pain that she became numb, unable to shed a single tear. Blood kept trickling from her mouth as she coughed repeatedly.

Marissa sneered, “That video better not reach Andrew’s eyes. Even if he’s over Aubree, they’ve got over two decades of history. Do you really think he’ll let you off the hook for causing all this?”

Tessa shrank back, silent, her heart overflowing with resentment, cursing Brielle, cursing Aubree. They were the reason she had fallen so low.

Marissa took a deep breath. “Keep that video hidden, Tessa. I’m telling you seriously, my husband has always been fond of Aubree. The day that video surfaces, he won’t hesitate to turn you into a pariah.

Don’t believe me? Just wait and see. You think marrying into the Clements family will give you peace?

Don’t count on a single day of tranquility!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier Marissa got, grabbing Tessa’s hair and slapping her hard across the face. “Brielle was right to slap you tonight. With skin as thick as yours and a heart as poisonous, you probably can’t even feel the pain. Just stay put right here.”

Tessa trembled from head to toe, not daring to utter a word of protest. She was in so much pain she couldn’t even breathe, feeling like she was suffocating.

After Marissa left, Tessa shakily got off the bed, kneeling on the floor, spitting out more blood mixed with two of her teeth. Her nails were all broken, her palms bloody.

Even if Marissa hated her, what did it matter? As long as Andrew loved her, that was all she needed.

She thought she couldn’t cry anymore, but the tears suddenly began to fall in big drops. She trembled, trying to pick up her teeth but couldn’t.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

After spitting out some more blood, she staggered to her feet, wanting to find a maid to clean up the room.

The maid looked at her with a sneer of disgust. “Clean up yourself. Madam has instructed us not to take orders from you anymore. Do you really think you’re still the spoiled Ms. Tessa, huh? Pfft!”

Tessa stiffened, in so much pain it felt like she might die. She had to get Andrew back immediately. Andrew would pity her. As long as he loved her, she could have the good life she craved.
