Chapter 244

Penulis: Love Berries
Truth be told, Tessa wasn’t the least bit surprised by the response.

She’d known all along that Grace wouldn’t hand over any real power that easily.

She hadn’t said those words today expecting results; she just wanted to test the waters, to see where her mother truly stood.

And now she had her answer.

Grace may have hesitated, but she hadn’t outright refused.

That meant, there was still hope.

With that realization, Tessa suddenly felt as if her whole future had opened up.

Meanwhile, back at home, Aurora had just walked through the door, only to realize she wasn’t the first to arrive.

She was actually the last.

Lucas and Wendy were already home.

Aurora merely raised a brow and said nothing, heading straight for the guest room.

Seeing this, Lucas clenched his fists, unsure of what to say.

Wendy, however, let out a dramatic gasp. “Oh my, Aurora, why are you staying in the guest room?”

Aurora let out a cold laugh. “That’s my business. What does it have to do with you?”

“Oh, I know, I

    He could already tell Tessa wasn’t happy about it.But no matter how upset she was, there was no way he was putting his life on the line for this.Life was precious—one slip and it was over.He wasn’t stupid. Why risk his future over something like this?In the end, though clearly displeased, Tessa came up with a new plan.She’d lure Lucas away, giving Julian a window to act.Once it was done, he’d leave immediately.A change of clothes had already been stashed in the basement.Everything was set up perfectly with no mistakes allowed.Even Julian had to admit, this version felt a lot more manageable.It gave him some cover.At first, when he saw her message, he thought maybe he could back out altogether.But after reading the contents, he was more confused than ever.Indecision defined him.He had no idea what direction his life was supposed to take.He took everything one step at a time, adjusting with each turn as it came.Even the idea of marrying Tessa, something his parents had ar

    Now, getting Lucas out of the way was no longer a problem.As long as Julian could get in and administer the injection, everything would fall into place.Just thinking about it made Tessa’s tone brighten with excitement.She immediately laid out her plan to Grace.“First, call Lucas and see if he answers. If he doesn’t, call me right after.”“You’re going to find him?”Tessa nodded. “Exactly. When you get through to me, I’ll hand the phone over to him.”Grace thought about it for a moment. The plan did make sense.Besides, she had quite a few things she wanted to ask Lucas herself.He had taken her daughter away—what exactly was he trying to do?And if he dared deceive her child, then no matter the cost, she wouldn’t let him off easily.Once everything was aligned between them, Tessa was ready to hang up.“Alright then, Mom, remember to call him. I’ll head over to the hospital and wait. If anything seems off, call me, and I’ll pass the phone to Lucas.”She smiled. “You probably have a

    Tessa’s voice paused briefly before she chuckled softly. “Isn’t that what you always taught us, Mom?”Grace fell silent.Maybe it was time she reconsidered how she viewed this daughter of hers.“What do you want me to do?”She wasn’t naïve. If Tessa had gone this far, she clearly wanted something.Otherwise, she wouldn’t be taking the time to circle around the topic with such care.Only now did Grace realize—perhaps her eldest daughter wasn’t as simple as she’d always assumed.The question wasn’t just to clarify Tessa’s intent; it was to see what other surprises she might be hiding.And in a way, it was also a test—a chance to see how capable she truly was.Besides, this was the first time in a long while Tessa had shown such initiative, and Grace found herself unexpectedly intrigued.Hearing her mother’s question, Tessa knew things were about to go her way.If she could get this far, the rest would unfold with much less resistance.She understood Grace well.The moment her interest

    After all this time, she could pretty much read her mother’s thoughts like an open book.“Mom, I know what you’re worried about,” Tessa coaxed gently. “It’s just like what happened with Joseph, isn’t it? Have you forgotten how he tricked Aurora back then?“In the end, he even made her account for every cent she spent. Every little expense had to be justified.”Tessa clicked her tongue, shaking her head with a mix of disbelief and disdain. “Honestly, even talking about it now feels humiliating. It was just so disgraceful.”“Enough.”Grace snapped, unable to hold back her anger.Tessa immediately fell silent.She knew her mother wasn’t angry with her, but with Joseph.Everything about that man had already been laid bare.He was nothing more than a spineless opportunist, and not even a competent one.Rumor had it he’d been holed up at Hunt Enterprises, trying to manage something new, and hadn’t been seen at any social events in quite a while.The elite circles of Ravenshore were abuzz w

    Tessa began recounting everything that had happened at the hospital to Grace—down to the director’s deferential attitude toward Lucas and the arrogance he carried himself with.All of it, in her mind, was mounting evidence that he had been deceiving Aurora from the very start.She couldn’t say for sure whether Aurora knew any of it.But what struck her was that Lucas had never once mentioned anything about coming from a wealthy family.In fact, she’d never even heard of what his family did.That alone made Tessa suspicious.The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.Could it be that she’d stumbled upon Lucas’ secret?She remembered how smug and overconfident he always seemed.But now, with something to use against him, she finally had leverage.Something he wouldn’t want exposed.“This hospital is one of the best in Millford, Mom. You really ought to think about what that means,” she said, her voice calm but pointed.“Lucas is hiding something. Why else would the direc

    She cleared her throat and finally began repeating the words she had carefully prepared.“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you; it’s just that I didn’t know how to start.”Grace immediately sat up straighter, her back rigid, and her tone now tight with barely restrained frustration.What was wrong with Tessa?All this time and still not a single coherent sentence?Grace had completely run out of patience. “If you’re not going to speak, I’m hanging up.”“Wait, Mom!”Tessa quickly jumped in, watching her timing. “Mom, I was so worried about Aurora, and I didn’t know what else to do. That’s why I slipped out and came overseas without telling anyone.”Grace latched onto the inconsistency in her words. “And how exactly did you know what country she’s in?”Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.Of course, Grace would catch that.She was sharp as ever, quick to pick up the flaw, and even quicker to throw it back.But Tessa didn’t panic. She shifted gears smoothly.“Mom, with h
