His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

After hanging up the phone, Tessa reflected on the events of the evening.

Why would Wendy sneak into her room while she was showering? It couldn't have been for the innocent reason that Wendy had claimed. The woman must have had some other motive.

Tessa began to pace around the room, scrutinizing her belongings. Everything seemed in place, except for the broken porcelain doll.

Then, her gaze landed on the glass of milk on the nightstand.

She had a habit of drinking a warm glass of milk before bed.

The maid had prepared the milk before Tessa showered, ready for her to enjoy later. The porcelain doll had been placed there too, before it was broken.

Since Wendy was the one who had shattered the doll, it seemed she'd been near the nightstand when she entered the room.

That meant it was very likely Wendy had tampered with the milk.

Stephen arrived in Haverford three hours later.

By the time Tessa received his call, he was already on his way to the Evergreen Villa.

At that moment, she was hauling bags of unwanted items to the villa's garbage bins.

"Stephen, I won't be staying here tonight," she mentioned, walking toward the villa while still on the phone.

There were still more things to throw out, and with the maid off duty, she had decided to handle it herself. Stephen simply replied, "Okay."

"Have you booked a hotel?" Tessa asked.

He then named a hotel.

"Alright, I'll book a room there too. We can meet later. You don't need to come here. Just head straight to the hotel."

She planned to finish packing and leave the villa that night.
