Chapter 263

Tessa couldn't help but think in despair, "Am I going to die here today?"

Suddenly, someone tugged the hood off Tessa's head.

Unfortunately, she had spent far too long in the dark. The abrupt exposure to sunlight nearly sent Tessa to the ground due to dizziness. Her body swayed, and she struggled to steady herself to avoid falling.

"Ms. Yates, we meet again." James looked at her with a hint of a smile on his face.

Tessa looked up to meet his gaze after regaining her composure and stiffened.

She had seen him in the past.

Jasmine had been in a bad mood that day. So, they had a meal at a restaurant and paid the bill once they were finished. That was when Tessa bumped into a pair of strangers.
