Tessa knew what she was doing was risky, but what would the socialites think if they were to have a low-key wedding? The Rowland family had just fallen from grace, and she urgently needed a lavish wedding to reclaim her place among the elite. She had been avoiding contact with anyone these past few days, fearing mockery from former friends and dreading the possibility of having to take charge on behalf of the fallen Rowland family.

She loathed Brielle and Aubree the most. Her very existence was to see those two women trampled into the depths of hell! Yesterday, she even resent that video to Aubree, determined to ensure that Aubree would never forget the humiliation. She planned to make it Aubree’s lifelong shadow to shher from ever appearing at Andrew's side again.
Now, her plan was nearly complete. After tomorrow’s wedding, she would be Andrew’s lawful wife.
Thinking of this, Tessa’s eyes took on a pitiful look as she clutched Andrew’s hand and placed it on her chest.
“Andrew, do you dislike my figure? We're getting married tomorrow, and | really want to be with you” But Andrew withdrew his hand coldly. “Let's have breakfast first.” Tessa suddenly panicked, fearing her last lifeline was slipping away. She mustered a bitter smile and stood up.
“Alright, I'll go dish up the oatmeal.* Andrew remained in the living room. The noise from the television soured his mood.
In the kitchen, Tessa reached for a bottle of pills hidden in the overhead cabinet. She glanced at Andrew's figure in the living room and mixed the substance into the oatmeal.

“Andrew, dinner’s ready.” Andrew, who usually let his guard down around Tessa, didn’t suspect a thing about the doctored dish.

During breakfast, Tessa seized the chance to voice her concerns.
“Everyone knows about our church wedding now. Maybe we should visit the church today just to check. It's usually booked in advance, but with the Clements family’s pull, I'm sure they can make room for us.” The frustration in Andrew’s expression deepened, but out of consideration for Tessa’s frailty and how it might look to others, he suppressed his irritation.
“Tessa. You know | indulge you in everything. | said I'd marry you, and | will-you don’t need these schemes.
You're the one I've always loved.” Tessa felt a surge of emotion, but unbeknownst to Andrew, her phone was recording their conversation on the side. After stopping the recording, she sent the auto Aubree. Any chance to needle Aubree was an opportunity Tessa would never pass up.
