Chapter 568
Tessa’s chest heaved with anger.
Her question seemed to make Lucas laugh in disbelief.
He gently released his grip on Aurora’s hand and slowly stepped closer to Tessa. “Your sister? You?” Not only did Aurora not respect this so–called sister, but even if she did, how could Tessa stand there, slandering and harming Aurora in front of him?
He could never let that slide.
Anyone who hurt Aurora, he wouldn’t let them get away with it.
And as things stood, Tessa was the one with the most suspicion surrounding her.
Everyone in the room, including the senior executive who had come from the Walton Corporation, had already figured out that Tessa was up to something.
Had she been so ruthless in her pursuit of the deputy general manager position that she would treat her own sister this way?
If that were the case, he would make sure to report this to the chairman immediately.
He couldn’t let someone with such malicious intentions stay in the company.
This wasn’t just about the company’s growth; it could affect the stock if this got out.
It wasn’t surprising, though.
These old foxes were all thinking about their profit, not their conscience.
If their personal interests weren’t involved, maybe they would say something in defense of Tessa.
But once their interests were at stake, neither Aurora nor Tessa mattered.
In the face of profit, those two weren’t even worth considering.
Tessa understood this very well.
She was starting to regret bringing this senior executive along.
Now that he had seen so many cracks, how was she going to explain today’s events to her colleagues when they returned to the company?
The thought of everything made Tessa’s scalp tingle with unease.
She deeply regretted leaving the house today.
Lucas raised the corners of his lips, his expression cold. Is this appropriate? Of course it is. Anyone who stands in the way of Aurora getting better deserves to die!”

Years ago, Lucas had mastered both kickboxing and taekwondo, never slacking on either.
That was why he had earned the title “Grim Reaper.”
But clearly, Tessa had no idea about this.
And no one in the room would warn her.
In fact, they were all secretly hoping she would walk straight into the line of fire.
Tessa trembled, her heart skipping a beat.
Looking at Lucas‘ fierce expression, she couldn’t help but wonder how Aurora had ever put up with him.
What was so good about this man?
How could anyone stand being with him? Didn’t she fear him?
Seeing that Lucas showed no mercy, Tessa decided to give up. “Fine, do whatever you want. If something happens, you’ll be the one responsible.“
