Chapter 1227


    Naturally, Nichs figured out what Tessa was up to. Meanwhile, Wanda’s face grew even darker as


    she red at Tessa, who was rebuking her. “What do you mean by that?”


    She clenched her fists as she fired back at Tessa. “You keep saying that Nichs doesn’t care about


    the rtionship between the two families, but he wouldn’t havee here today! if he didn’t!” Tessa


    dered icily.


    She paused for a moment and her tone grew sharper when she continued, “You, on the other hand,


    keep banking on the rtionship between the two families as you carry on doing even more and more


    reprehensible things. Don’t you feel embarrassed of yourself? What makes you think you have the right


    to stand here and criticize someone else?”


    Wanda was livid and she trembled with rage. “As if you know anything!” She red at Tessa as if she


    was a predator who was about to pounce on its prey.


    Tessa wasn’t afraid. She looked Wanda straight in the eye as she said, “I may not know much, but I


    know what it means to have a sense of


    propriety. You know very well that Nichs and I married, and yet you still keep trying to break us up.


    That’s called being shameless. Aren’t the Mullers supposed to be a prestigious family? I’m sure the


    children are raised with a strict upbringing. Mr. Muller seems like a sensible and reasonable elder, so I


    have no idea how the family produced someone like you who’s immature andcks a sense of


    propriety!”


    In all honesty, Tessa felt bad for Horace. On the way over, she heard the news that Horace was


    hospitalized out of his vexation at Wanda.


    “Miss Muller, I know having a prestigious family background and family elders who dote on you gives


    you confidence and a sense of security, but it doesn’t mean you have the right to do whatever you


    want. Mr. Muller is protective of you because you’re his granddaughter and he loves you.


    He doesn’t want you to suffer in any way, but what about you? Haven’t you besmirched your


    grandfather’s reputation enough and wasted his love for you?”


    Tessa’s unrelenting castigation made Wanda feel as if all the most shameful sides of her were on


    disy.


    Everything Tessa said was true. Wanda banked on the fact that she came from a prestigious family and


    had a family elder who loved her dearly to fearlessly run amok time and time again.

    However, though she was willing to admit this to herself, she could not ept being told off by


    someone else. Especially not by Tessa “Even if what I do is wrong, what gives you the right to lecture


    me?”


    Feeling both ashamed and angered, Wanda fired back at Tessa through gritted teeth. This woman


    wouldn’t even have the right to stand in front of me if it wasn’t because Nichs liked her!


    Tessa seemed to know what the look in Wanda’s eyes meant as her gaze turned to one of pity instead.


    If not for anything else, then for Horace’s fiercely protective love toward Wanda.


    It was clear that Wanda didn’t realize all of Horace’s good intentions. Tessa scoffed. “I might not have


    the right to lecture you, but I should have the right to talk about the way you keep plotting against me


    over and over again, right?”


    This time, Wanda could not rebuke her. After all, her past deeds had been exposed, so she couldn’t


    deny it even if she wanted to Wanda turned scarlet, though there was no telling whether it was due to


    her anger or shame.


    Tessa pretended to be unaware of this as she calmly continued, “You know, if we take into ount the


    abhorrent things you did in the past, no one would say I did the wrong thing if I pped you right here,


    right now. However, I don’t want to stoop to your level. It’ll only dirty my hand!”


    She did not hold back at all. Wanda was so infuriated that she nearly broke her jaw from clenching her


    teeth. The veins along her neck were bulging as well. She never thought that Tessa would have the gall


    to humiliate her this way.


    “Don’t think you can run your mouth and humiliate me just because Nichs has your back, Tessa! At


    the end of the day, I’m still the Mullers’ daughter, and you’re just some woman who lucked out because


    Nichs took a liking to you! That’s the only reason why you can unt yourself in front of me now.


    You’re nothing if you don’t have Nichs!”


    However, Tessa wasn’t angered by these words. She nodded in agreement and openly admitted it.


    “You’re right. I wouldn’t have the right to unt myself in front of you if I didn’t have. Nichs, but there


    are no ifs and buts in this world. Nichs chose me, and he never wronged you or the Mullers in any


    way.


    All along, it was merely wishful thinking on your part, Miss Muller. You have no one but yourself to


    me for everything that has happened to you!”
