Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1942

So, she asked the question without thinking.

She hadn’t expected the mother who once cherished her most to say something like that.

Tessa’s voice trembled with sobs. “Mom, I really regret it. I’m truly sorry. Whatever you need to know, I’ll tell you everything. I really am sorry.”

At that moment, Tessa was a mess of tears and sniffles, looking utterly pitiful.

And she understood very clearly whose support mattered most right now.

Since Sean no longer had any value, how could she possibly continue standing on his side?

Besides, Sean had never treated her that well to begin with.

All he ever wanted was to use her to get his hands on shares of Walton Corporation.

Tessa had seen all of this clearly.

She knew exactly what kind of person Sean was.

But that last trace of blood ties had kept her clinging to false hope.

She thought that since he was her biological father, he must love her, so why not try working with him?

That was why she chose to trust him, betting on that tiny, almost nonexistent bit of parental affection, especially after learning that Grace had no blood relation to her, that she wasn’t truly her child, that belief only grew stronger.

She was convinced that in this world, blood ties mattered above all else.

Without them, relationships meant nothing.

And since she was the child of Grace’s romantic rival, Tessa knew perfectly well where she stood in Grace’s heart.

That was why she decided to join forces with Sean and seize the Walton Corporation shares.

What she couldn’t understand was how a plan they had crafted so carefully still ended in failure.

Where exactly had things gone wrong?

Because she had truly treated Tessa as her own child.

She had even been better to her than to her biological daughter.

Yet in the end, she had raised a traitor with her own hands.

That thought alone filled Grace with bitterness.

She simply couldn’t understand why, after all the care she had given, this was how Tessa repaid her.

If this was the outcome, then what in this world could truly be trusted?

So, at this moment, hearing Tessa’s words, Grace found them nothing but laughable.

Now that everything had already happened, regret suddenly surfaced—so what were the police for, then?

Was all of this nothing more than an empty show?
