His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 495

Confronting Tessa, the very person who had saved his father's life, the man not only failed to express his gratitude but instead cast her a peculiar glance. Worst yet, his tone carried an unsettling edge.

With his chin slightly raised, his expression was one of arrogance and indifference, even tinged with disdain.

"So, you're the one who brought my father to the hospital?" he asked.

"Yes," Tessa replied.

Furrowing her brow, she sensed that this man's demeanor hinted at ulterior motives.

As she had anticipated, his next words were, "Did you push him?"

Tessa's expression shifted subtly. A flicker of recognition crossed her eyes. It was just as she had suspected.

Sarcasm danced in her gaze as she curled her lips into a cold smile and shook her head.

"No, your father fell on his own. No one pushed him."

"Still denying it? My father's in great shape. Even in his 70s, he can still do chores around the house. If you hadn't pushed him, how could he have suddenly fallen while walking down the street?"
