But a noise in the living room downstairs stopped her.
Slouched beside the banister on the second floor, Tess looked down and saw Lucinda.
Perched on a sofa in the Living room, Lucinda’s expression was cold and arrogant, but her face remained exquisitely beautiful.
As Tess glared at Lucinda, Lucinda raised her chin, and their eyes met. Lucinda said, “Miss Green, do you like my gift to the Green family? There is another small gift for you. Would you like to take a look?”
“It’s you! How did you get in here?” Tess shouted.
Lucinda nonchalantly played with her nails before responding, “I told the bodyguard to inform the butler of my arrival. Then, I walked in through the front door.”
The butler let her in?
Tess was astonished. The butler had served the Green family for years.
How could he have been bribed so easily?
Tess glared at Lucinda with pure malice.
Lucinda, sensing her thoughts, spoke again.
“Your family is finished.
Loyalty means nothing now that the Green family is broken. Today marks the destruction of the Greens. Everyone knows it.”
Tess seethed with rage and yelled, “You’re such a bitch! You’ve gone too far this time! Do you really think our family can be destroyed with your petty tricks? Keep dreaming!”
“Petty tricks?”
Lucinda scoffed, “Hardly. I simply exposed the Green family’s dirty deeds to the world. If you have nothing to hide, why are you so afraid?”
“You!”

Tess was infuriated, but Lucinda was right. The Green family really deserved what had happened to them.
The screams from the room behind her grew louder.
“Ah! Dustin! How dare you lay a hand on me! How dare you abuse me!
You’ll be hearing from my lawyer! You and your slutty mistress will burn in hell!”
Alvina paused then continued yelling, “Dustin wants to kill me! Help!
Tess, come and help me!”
Alvina shouted in outrage after she was hit by Dustin.
