The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 35 Schemes.

A soft breeze kissed Tessa’s skin as she walked through the garden. The scent of the fresh flowers

was refreshing. She almost forgot why she went there and sat down to relax.

The dinner party was an outdoor event in the beautiful garden of the imperial hotel.

There was an open white tent with fairy lights on the ceiling. Several round tables and chairs

were scattered around the place in a formal manner. The linen on the tables and chairs was pure white and silver centrepieces were placed on the table with assorted flowers.

There was no moon tonight, but the stars brightened up the sky as they twinkled every now and

then.

After talking to several businessmen and making appointments to meet them for project proposals, Tessa began to look for Jerry. He had disappeared after introducing her to some potential clients and she hadn’t seen him since.

She was about to enter the hotel and look for him when she spotted someone at a hidden spot in the garden.

For some reason, her stomach twisted when she saw who it was.

It was Serena Winston!

Tessa could only see her side profile but she could tell that she was talking to someone.

However, the person was standing behind a pillar and Tessa couldn’t see who it was.

She took out her phone and got a picture before sending it to Michelle. She then typed a message and sent it too.

[Look who I’ve found at the dinner party. Is she still being invited to these events despite her father going bankrupt? OMG, what if she’s stalking me and still wants to fight with me because of Aaron?]

Tessa’s phone immediately began to ring and she picked up without checking who it was, saying, ” No need to be alarmed. She probably doesn’t know I’m here. It’s just a coincidence.”

“What coincidence? Who’s there? Are you in danger?”

Tessa furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Aaron’s worried voice instead of Michelle’s.

She looked at her phone and saw that it was Aaron who had called

“Sorry, I thought I was talking to Michelle,” she explained. “Why are you calling? Is something wrong with the kids?”

“No, they are fine. I was checking up on you to see how you’re doing and if you’re having fun. I miss you. What were you talking about earlier? What is not a coincidence?”

Tessa sighed and found an empty seat. When she settled at a good spot, she replied, “I saw Serena a few minutes ago. But she didn’t see me I was just wondering if she’s still being invited to such events regardless of what happened to her family.

“Where’s Josh and Andrew?” Aaron asked, referring to the two top bodyguards who always stayed
