Grace no longer had any desire to be kind to Tessa.
She knew perfectly well that Tessa was only clinging to her now because the situation had turned against her and she had nowhere left to go.
She was simply trying to latch onto Grace in a last attempt to avoid being sent to prison.
Anyone with half a brain could see that.
Let alone Grace, who had run Walton Corporation for so many years—she understood these things all too clearly.
Folding her arms, Grace fixed Tessa with a sharp, cutting gaze.
“Are you saying this because you’re afraid I’ll send you to prison, or because you truly realize you were wrong? You know the answer best yourself.”
At those words, Tessa froze where she stood.
She hadn’t expected Grace to be this direct.
She had always believed there would still be room to turn things around, that Grace wouldn’t truly do anything to her.
Because of that belief, she had begged with such certainty.
She was convinced Grace would soften in the end and stand on her side.
It was precisely because she thought she understood Grace’s nature that she dared to plead like this.
But now, it felt as though Grace had suddenly woken up.
And worse, she was no longer on her side.
The thought alone made Tessa’s heart ache.
Did this mean she and Sean were truly finished this time?
Was there really no room left for regret?
Before this, Tessa had always believed Grace cared about her.
So even when Sean had made it clear there would be no way back, she refused to believe it.
