Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1877

It was precisely because she had overthought everything that Tessa dared to accuse her like this.

Grace had finally come to terms with it—she should never have been so soft-hearted back then.

If kindness only led to a return like this, what was the point?

The thought struck her as bitterly ironic.

If everyone turned out like Tessa, why would she ever choose to take in another child again?

People like Tessa, Grace realized now, were impossible to reason with.

“So you really think I forced you?”

Grace asked the same question once more.

She was certain of one thing—she had never done anything to wrong Tessa.

That was why she dared to ask so directly.

Grace was convinced Tessa would never be able to give a real answer.

“No matter what, I did what I did.”

At this point, Tessa had clearly given up pretending.

She knew very well that Grace would not truly do anything to her.

And she had already made it clear—she still held leverage.

So, there was no point in saying more.

“So you’ve decided to throw everything away?”

Grace asked quietly.

Tessa did not deny it.

The certainty in her eyes told Grace everything she needed to know.

“Fine. I understand now.”

Grace let out a weary sigh.

“I never imagined that after all these years, I would end up raising a viper.”

Looking at Tessa like this, Arnold could hardly believe it.

It was the first time he had ever seen someone so shameless.

Grace had raised her, and not only did she feel no gratitude, she turned around and stabbed her in the back.

She even went out of her way to say cruel things, deliberately provoking her.

Tessa found Arnold’s reaction almost amusing.

“Did you forget what I told you before?”

Hearing that, Grace snapped back to attention.

She looked straight at Tessa.

“Tessa, what do you mean by that?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Tessa threw her head back and laughed. “The truth is, this damn housekeeper noticed my true nature several times already.”
