Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 104 Hope’s Contract Dispute

Maia did not expect Tess to approach Hope personally. She knew that things were getting complicated. “I got it. I’m coming over right now.”

She instructed her secretary to adjourn her upcoming meeting and left the office in a hurry.

“What are you planning, acting all weak and innocent?” Tess asked Hope as she sat down. You made Maia leave her assistant here just to look after you? I’ve underestimated you.

“Tell me, is this part of your plan to make her assistant work as a mole for you

instead?”

Tess was crude with Hope. She did not want to waste time beating around the bush.

“Let me warn you. Your mother killed my sister and took her place as the mistress of the Burgess household. We’re done playing nice. How could you have the audacity to ask Maia to help you with your contract issues?

“Maia is kind enough to see you as her sister, but how could you claim to be hers when your mother has done such despicable things to us? How dare you ask such a huge favor of her?”

Hope was confused as she listened quietly to Tess’s accusations. She finally interrupted her and asked, “What do you mean by contract issues? I don’t understand.”

“Are you choosing to play dumb? You’re good at acting; I’ll give you that!”

Tess reached for her cell phone in her bag, opened the link to the news, and threw her phone

in front of Hope.

Hope picked up the phone and started reading the headlines.
