Chapter 676

Tessa stared at the phone in her palm, and Aurora’s breathtakingly beautiful face surfaced in her mind.

Her eyes brimmed with jealousy.

They were both Grace’s daughters–how could the difference in their genes be so stark?

The gap between them was simply too great.

Growing up, Tessa had heard it more than once.

Everyone always questioned how the two of them could possibly be real sisters.

Not only did they look completely different, even their personalities and height were worlds apart.

Aurora resembled Grace, and somehow, she looked even more stunning.

This fact, no matter how much Tessa refused to admit it, couldn’t be denied.

So, every time she saw that face of Aurora’s flaunting itself around, she wanted nothing more than to rip it apart.

Maybe then people’s eyes would finally turn to her.

Maybe then she wouldn’t be just the one sitting on the sidelines.

Maybe she could finally be a part of it all.

The thought alone made something unhinged flash through Tessa’s gaze.

She even once dreamt of slashing Aurora’s face open–and woke up laughing out loud.

Just imagining the possibility was enough to make her throw her head back and laugh before stepping outside.

If someone asked her why she hated Aurora so much, she wouldn’t even be able to say.

Maybe the biggest reason was simply jealousy.

She was jealous of her perfect health, how effortlessly she seemed to get everything.

She was jealous of her beautiful face, which drew everyone’s attention.

But no matter how hard Tessa worked, people always turned their eyes back to Aurora.

She took a deep breath, the twisted look on her face slowly easing.

It was fine. If fate wouldn’t hand her what she wanted, she’d fight for it herself.

Tessa made the call directly.

The man on the other end said it was a minor issue and would be settled soon.

“Then, let’s meet up when you have time.”

At that, Tessa’s expression froze, but she eventually agreed.

This man held power and influence. Going against him would do her no good.

Besides, this knife had proven quite handy.

“Remember to wear your school uniform, carry a backpack, and tie your hair up in a high ponytail. Same place, you know it.”

The man’s low voice echoed in her ear.

Tessa clenched the hem of her skirt, her face unreadable.

In the end, she still gave a soft “Mm.”

It was fine. It would be over soon.

As long as she could get back at Aurora, she was willing to do anything.

Meanwhile, on Aurora’s side, she was still waiting at the police station with that man.

She was convinced Tessa would show up.

Even if it wasn’t Tessa, the person behind all this might appear.

Otherwise, how could they just leave a few thugs behind like this?

Those guys were clearly cowards who feared death.

Leaving them here seemed way too risky.

Aurora started to wonder if the person behind the scenes wasn’t worried about being exposed.

She couldn’t make sense of what was going on now or what those people were trying to do.

At this point, were they really not afraid of being found out?

Aurora forced herself to stay patient and waited a while longer with the stranger.

In the end, she realized the man was honestly just watching the police station quietly, doing nothing else.

Seeing that, Aurora was at a loss for words.

It seemed the person behind this wasn’t as reckless as she’d expected, just overly cautious.

The thought left her somewhat disappointed.

She’d thought she could use this opportunity to flush them out, but it turned out to be all in vain.
