Chapter 645
She cleared her throat and finally began repeating the words she had carefully prepared.
“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you; it’s just that I didn’t know how to start.”
Grace immediately sat up straighter, her back rigid, and her tone now tight with barely restrained frustration.
What was wrong with Tessa?
All this time and still not a single coherent sentence?
Grace had completely run out of patience. “If you’re not going to speak, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait, Mom!”
Tessa quickly jumped in, watching her timing.

“Mom, I was so worried about Aurora, and I didn’t know what else to do. That’s why I slipped out and came overseas without telling anyone.”
Grace latched onto the inconsistency in her words. “And how exactly did you know what country she’s in?”
Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.
Of course, Grace would catch that.
She was sharp as ever, quick to pick up the flaw, and even quicker to throw it back.
But Tessa didn’t panic.
She shifted gears smoothly.
“Mom, with how fast information and travel work these days, if I really want to find someone, I can. You know that.
“Besides, I genuinely was worried something might’ve happened to her. Isn’t finding her as soon as possible the best thing?”
Hearing that, Grace didn’t press further.
She knew all too well that her daughter was clever and sly like a fox
Given enough time in conversation, most would find themselves led precisely where she intended, often without even realizing
That was what made her dangerous.
Still, Grace didn’t have the energy to untangle all that right now.
“Fine. So, what you’re saying is–you know Aurora’s current condition, right?”
That was all she cared about now.
If Megan knew about this, she wouldn’t hesitate to confront Grace
