Chapter 712

After entering the room, Tessa shut the door firmly behind her “You wanted to see me Marissa lifted her hand in imitation, brushing away a few stmy strands of hair from her forehead. “The wedding’s done and dusted, and you know the Clements family won’t take kindly to divorce gossip, so you need to wipe that video clean off the face of the earth Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Tessa Aubree’s been a Clements since she was knee high to a grasshopper, and not a soul in the family wants to catch even a whiff of that video. Keeping it around is like sitting on a ticking time bomb. If it ever sees the light of day not only will Aubree get dragged through the mud, but you’ll face a backlash ten times worse.

You’ve got what you wanted, and now there’s no need to keep a landmine under your bed. Just settle down and live a good life with Andrew. He won’t shortchange you.”

Her tone was dismissive, clearly unimpressed with Tessa Tessa’s face was all smiles. Her cheeks flushed with joy despite her frailty. Even her carefully applied makeup couldn’t hide her glee.

She pulled out her phone and, right in front of Marissa, deleted the video without a trace. The video was only on a hidden file on my phone. Now that I’ve deleted it, it’s gone for good. You can rest easy.

No one’s going to see that video again.”

Just as she finished speaking, Andrew’s voice came from outside the door. What video?”

Andrew walked in, his expression darkening Tessa’s heart skipped a beat, but then she heard Marissa’s calm reply. Just a video from your wedding.

I was toying with the idea of sending copies to other members of the Clements family, but that’s settled now. Off you go. Tonight’s your wedding night”

With that. Marissa didn’t wait to gauge their reaction; she headed straight for the door. But before she left, she dropped a bombshell. “By the way, I’ve transferred my five percent shareholding to Aubree. It’s worth a few billion. She can do whatever she wants with it, and the Clements family will soon find her a match that’s fit for her status.”

Hearing this, Andrew felt a chill run down his spine, his irritation growing. But he was married now.

What could he say? Would Aubree agree if he wanted to keep things going with her?

Besides, she had been sullied, who knows by how many men. Just the thought made Andrew’s skin crawl with disgust At that moment, Tessa wrapped her arms around his waist, her voice dripping with seduction, “Manssa’s right, it’s our wedding night. I heard the bed linen in the honeymoon suite was hand–

embroidered, stitch by stitch, by the finxest artisans. Shall we go check it out?”

Night had fallen, and since it was their wedding night, they were expected to have sex.

Tessa’s cheeks were tinged with shyness. “Andrew, I’m ready for you to make love to me.”

Andrew felt a surge of desire, remembering how he had taken matters into his own hands at the hotel and how that fire had been smoldering within him ever since. He looked down at Tessa, her eyes full of ripples, bashful yet pleading.

More importantly, Tessa was untouched, not tainted like Aubree, perfect to quench his burning lust.

He nodded, and they were about to leave the church when his phone buzzed. It was Aubree, asking about her phone, which he had taken. Andrew paused, not expecting Aubree to call. Everything felt off–

kilter. Where had she been today, and why hadn’t she attended the wedding? He even wanted to angrily confront her, to ask which lover she had taken to the hotel. If she could possibly sink any lower, could she not live without a man?

However, the last shred of his sanity told him that if he asked now, Aubree would likely hang up.

“It’s with me.”

“I need it now. Can you bring it over?”

Andrew couldn’t help but smile at Aubree’s request, though he didn’t realize it himself. “Sure, rll be right there.”

After hanging up, he turned to Tessa Right on cue, the videographer came over, wanting to discuss the wedding video plans. He suggested it would be best if both the bride and groom were present. After all, a wedding video was a once–in–a–

lifetime affair that needed a heart–to–heart with the newlyweds.

“Wait here and talk to them about it. I’ve got to deliver something. I’ll be back to pick you up in half an hour”

Tessa felt an uneasy premonition. “Andrew, who are you delivering something to? It couldn’t possibly be that tramp, Aubree, could it? This was their wedding video discussion, and they needed to decide which moments to cherish and which guests to feature. But now Andrew was walking out.

“Kenzo. He left something very important at my place. I’ll be back in thirty minutes.”
