Chapter 126 A Smug Smile
It was Sunday afternoon, and after sleeping in all morning, Tessa didn’t get up until noon.
She finally got ready to go out for lunch with Ysabel only after receiving a call from her.
“Tessie, you’re holding up okay, right? Don’t pay any mind to those online comments.”
Even though Tessa hadn’t said anything, Ysabel was still really worried about her.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about it! Let Victoria gloat for a few more days,” Tessa said, giving her a chance to really showcase her acting skills.
“I’m going to use the restroom.”
After nearly finishing her meal, Tessa got up to go to the restroom. She didn’t expect that as soon as she came out, she’d see Victoria standing there with a smug grin.
Tessa ignored her and walked over to wash her hands at the sink.
“Ms. Sinclair, if you apologize now, I might consider giving Beauty Luxe a break.”
Tessa didn’t want to deal with her. She was just greedy, always trying to squeeze more out even at this point.
When Tessa walked out, Victoria quickly followed, her voice quivering, “Ms. Sinclair, I’m really scared. Please, give me a break! I know I shouldn’t have told the truth, but I can’t sleep at night anymore. Please, let me go! I’m just a lowly omega who made it on her own without any backing or a powerful pack. I’m no match for Sinclair Corp!”
From the moment she started talking, Tessa knew what she was up to. She must have a recorder or something on her, typical low blow.
“Ms. Sinclair, ah! Why did you hit me?”
As she spoke, Victoria actually slapped herself.
Tessa just stood there silently, watching her continue her act.
Under that intense gaze, Victoria bravely finished her pathetic performance.
“Are we done here, Ms. Victoria? With your acting skills, I doubt you’ll shine in showbiz.”
“You-”
What now?
Victoria pulled out a recorder, pressing the pause button.
“You don’t need to worry about what happens to me, Ms. Sinclair! But, given your current online reputation, what do you think will happen if the Wolf Clan netizens hear this?”
“Ms. Victoria, I just want to ask one thing Door D

“Ms. Sinclair, you must really regret taking on Beauty Luxe’s makeup line. You’re just a high school student; shouldn’t you be in school instead of getting involved in all this?”
Despite being an omega, Victoria didn’t see Tessa as a threat. After all, in her eyes, Tessa was nothing but a reject from her family and the Frostmoon Pack, not even awakened as a wolf, and ranked even lower than
her.
“Seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll tell you the truth; there’s nothing wrong with Beauty Luxe’s makeup. I tampered with it myself. But who’s going to believe you? Even if you tell everyone about today, no one will believe you. Because right now, everyone believes me; I’m the victim here. If you compensate me now, I might consider letting you off.”
Last time she had received 965,000 dollars in compensation, and she had already spent it all. She aimed to marry into the wealthy Wolf Clan and needed fame and money to land more significant roles and bribe directors.
