Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1875

Tessa said she had done all of this because of Grace and she had been forced into it.

Otherwise, she would never have gone this far.

For some reason, those words suddenly resurfaced in Grace’s mind.

The moment she recalled them, something felt off.

Grace’s gaze hardened as she looked at Tessa. “Wait. If you don’t want to get up, then stay right where you are.”

Her movement froze midair.

She had not expected Grace to say that.

She thought that being told to sit on the sofa meant she had already been forgiven.

Was it because of Arnold’s words that Grace changed her mind?

Tessa lifted her head and shot Arnold a hostile look.

But Arnold stood straight-backed, completely unafraid.

It was obvious that Tessa had already lost.

Even if she wanted to turn things around in the future, it would be impossible.

That was a matter for later.

Arnold believed he had always been a good judge of character.

Someone like Tessa would never make a comeback.

Nothing happened without reason.

If she could no longer stir up anything, why should he fear her?

With that thought, Arnold met her gaze calmly.

Tessa sneered inwardly.

So, this was how it was—when the wall fell, everyone rushed to push it.

Now that she had lost her standing in this household, even a mere housekeeper like Arnold dared to step all over her.

“Fine. Whatever you say, Mom.”

The words seemed to be forced out through clenched teeth.

Arnold knew that the moment he spoke up, Tessa would hold a grudge against him.

But since things had already come to this point, there was no reason to be afraid anymore.
