Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Grace had always been strict with Aurora. But when it came to Tessa, her feelings leaned more toward compassion than discipline.

Tessa was frail since birth, yet always so thoughtful.

Whatever she did, she always seemed to consider Grace’s perspective first.

Between the two daughters, Grace had often found herself favoring Tessa more, though she would never admit it aloud.

She simply wasn’t good at expressing it.

Running the company already left her overwhelmed.

Most days, she barely had time to breathe, let alone tend to the emotional undercurrents between her children.

That was why, at times, she overlooked things she shouldn’t have.

“Tessa, whatever happens, if you ever feel wronged, you come to me. I’ll always be on your side,” Grace said gently.

Tessa nodded, her voice soft and sweet. “I know, Mom. Thank you.”

“Alright, go on now. You’ve got things to do.”

Only then did Tessa pull away from her mother’s arms.

She left the room and returned to her own, closing the door behind her.

The moment she was alone, she swiped a glass off the table, sending it crashing to the floor.

Her chest rose and fell sharply.

The room was well soundproofed–she wasn’t worried about Grace hearing anything from downstairs.

But the rage still burned inside her.

Why was she still not allowed into Walton Corp?

Watching Aurora thrive at the company while she stood on the sidelines made her stomach churn.

“Fine, Aurora. Don’t get too comfortable.”

She drew a deep breath and grabbed her phone, sending off a message.

Only after receiving a reply did her expression ease slightly.

She stared down at the shattered glass, her brows knitting in irritation.

A moment later, she called for one of the maids.

The maid hurried in, tense and cautious, eyes flicking nervously toward Tessa as she cleaned.

Grace might not have noticed.

But she had.

After working here for so long, the maid had grown used to the young lady’s temper–it was as unpredictable as the weather.

On bad days, it wasn’t unusual for Tessa to break things.

It happened often enough.

She’d even heard that a few younger staff members were brought to tears by Tessa more than once.

That was exactly why Tessa preferred hiring older maids.

The younger ones didn’t have the nerves or the tolerance for her temper.

As the maid quietly finished sweeping up the shards of glass, Tessa said coolly, as if nothing had happened, “I dropped it by

accident. Got it?”

“Of course, Miss Tessa. Just glad you didn’t cut your hand.”

Only then did Tessa give a satisfied nod and wave her off.

She’d kept this particular maid around because she had a keen sense of when to speak and when to stay silent.

She never asked questions and never stepped out of line.

And most importantly, she wouldn’t run to Grace and ruin the carefully crafted image Tessa had built.

Once the door shut behind the maid, Tessa picked up her phone again and typed out a message.

“I don’t care what you have to do–just make sure she’s humiliated. As long as it’s enough to ruin her moment, that’s all I want.”

The other person hesitated but, knowing who she was, eventually agreed.

Only then did Tessa smile and tuck her phone away, finally satisfied.

She threw herself onto the bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling as a familiar face suddenly flashed through her mind–Joseph.

That man might just be a useful pawn.

Since he had no idea who the real younger heiress of the Walton family was, then she would become the younger heiress.

She could work with him, play her part, and use him to go after the real younger heiress of the Walton family.
