Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 2871 - Bab 2880

With that thought in mind, Dolly stepped closer to Tessa, the smile on her face growing more pronounced.Yet the smile never reached her eyes. Instead, it left everyone around her unable to guess what she was really thinking.Seeing that expression, Tessa silently reminded herself to stay calm.Truthfully, she had never been able to figure Dolly out.At first, she'd assumed Dolly was nothing more than an ordinary rural housewife.But now, it seemed things weren't nearly that simple.No matter what Dolly did, she never followed the script.She always acted differently from what Tessa expected.More than once, Tessa thought she had the situation under control. She'd believed there was a better solution waiting ahead or that Dolly would walk straight into one of the traps she'd carefully laid.Yet every time, the situation would suddenly take a sharp and unexpected turn.The more she thought about it, the more surprised she became.Had rural housewives really become this capable?Why had

As she said this, Tessa deliberately let a wounded look appear on her face."I know I've made mistakes in the past, but surely I deserve a chance to make things right."Are you saying that once someone makes a mistake, they don't even get a chance to change? Isn't that a little too harsh? Do you really have to write me off completely?"As Tessa spoke, the surrounding inmates couldn't help but cast curious glances in their direction.To her credit, the tactic was a clever one.Everything she did was calculated.She knew perfectly well that she'd come here to win Dolly over.That meant she had to humble herself completely and stop worrying about her pride.Only by lowering herself enough could she convince Dolly that her apology was sincere.Tessa understood that sometimes survival meant swallowing her pride.Besides, she had always been good at reading people and manipulating emotions. Compared to everything else she'd dealt with in life, this was hardly difficult.Right now, all she wa

The other women under Dolly noticed it too.Some of them were close to the lackey and couldn't help feeling that she'd been treated unfairly.But who could really predict how these things would turn out?Life was unpredictable. No matter how hard a person worked, things didn't always go their way.The truth was, the lackey was jealous of Tessa.She just didn't know who she could admit it to.She spent years earning her place beside Dolly.And Tessa?How long had she even been here?Yet somehow, she'd managed to win Dolly's attention in no time.A few tears and a few carefully chosen words, and she'd already found her way into Dolly's good graces.But hadn't Dolly always hated women who cried and acted helpless?Hadn't she always said that Tessa reminded her of the woman who'd had an affair with her husband?So why did it suddenly seem like the two of them were getting along?The more she thought about it, the more reluctant she became.Unfortunately, no one could give her an answer.Al

Even now, Dolly felt no real goodwill toward Tessa.She couldn't shake the feeling that every word coming out of Tessa's mouth carried some hidden agenda.Otherwise, who would believe something like this so easily?"Of course I'm being sincere."Tessa felt as though she'd repeated those words countless times already.Why wouldn't Dolly believe her?Was trust between two people really that difficult to build?The thought left Tessa feeling frustrated.So much time had passed, yet her relationship with Dolly hadn't improved in the slightest.Dolly still treated her with the same caution and suspicion as before.Looking at it that way, the distance between them seemed impossibly wide."Boss, unless I'm mistaken, I've said this more times than I can count. Why is it that you still don't trust me?"Even as she spoke, Tessa felt helpless.In the past, she never would've lowered herself like this again and again.She had once been a wealthy heiress.How had she ended up in a position where sh

It had to be said, Tessa's words struck a chord with Dolly.The idea was undeniably appealing.She hadn't expected Tessa to share so many of her views.Still, Dolly wasn't that easy to win over.Narrowing her eyes slightly, she tested her."But weren't you always talking about getting out of prison?"Her gaze sharpened."How am I supposed to believe what you're saying now?"Without missing a beat, Tessa answered, "Because it's the truth."She spoke with complete conviction."We're both women. We're both people who ended up in this prison because life didn't go the way we wanted. If you won't trust someone like me, then who are you going to trust? The guards?"A faint smile tugged at her lips."Come on, Boss. Don't be foolish."Dolly fell silent.Her fingers slowly curled into fists at her sides.Much as she hated to admit it, Tessa's words had hit close to home.The truth was, there had never been much real hatred between them.The only reason Dolly had targeted Tessa in the first plac
