Chapter 480
“Sure, Tess replied immediately.
When it came to getting what she wanted, she never missed, no matter who the opponent was.
“Let’s make a deal.” Kylie was straightforward.
“You and me?”
“Yeah.” Kylie nodded.
Tess hesitated for a moment. She knew Kylie wasn’t simple. But she wasn’t afraid of Kylie.
They had crossed paths several times, and Kylie always came out second best.
“Alright, Tess agreed readily.
Tess was curious about what game Kylie wanted to play.
“Could you two step out for a moment?” Kylie turned to Ethan and Adam.
Both men frowned, but eventually left.
The room was left with just Kylie and Tess.
“Speak. Tess looked calmly at Kylie.
“I believe after all this time, you should have some understanding of me
“In what way?” Tess raised an eyebrow.
“In any way.” Kylie was confident.
Tess pressed her lips together.
She would always conduct thorough investigations on her enemies, of course.
“So you should be very clear about what kind of person I am. I can turn a lousy hand into a winning one all by myself”
“Are you threatening me?” Tess raised an eyebrow.
“Not exactly a threat, just letting you know that I’m not as easy to deal with as you might think.”
“And then?”
“Give me two days, and let me date Lucas.”
“Don’t even think about it!” Tess cut Kylie off before she could finish, outright refusing.
If after these two days, I still haven’t won Lucas over, once you two are married, I won’t bother you again.” Kylie’s words. were deliberate and measured.
Tess hesitated.
“To put it bluntly, if you don’t give me a chance to completely give up hope now, your marriage might not be smooth sailing
in the future.
Tess scrutinized Kylie, reluctantly acknowledging the sense of threat she felt.

Chapter 480.
Tess had lived this fong without ever negotiating such an unfair deal with anyone.
From childhood to adulthood, Tess had never been at a disadvantage.
But evidently, Kylie’s proposed transaction now was to her advantage.
Why should Tess give a chance to her fiancé and another woman
Lucas was hers, whether before or after marriage. She had no reason to lend Lucas to
Yet at this moment, Tess hesitated.
The threat posed by Kylie was too great.
Kylie
If Kylie kept pestering Lucas, Tess couldn’t guarantee that Lucas wouldn’t waver completely.
However, now Tess only needed to give them a few days to permanently eliminate any future trouble.
“You can consider it and get back to me today.”
100%1
“Okay.” Tess didn’t even think about it. “In the days before the wedding, I can let you spend time with Lucas, but if Lucas doesn’t choose you, after we’re married, I hope you’ll disappear from our lives forever.”
“But during those two days, don’t use death as a threat to Lucas Kylie had to make it clear.
Tess’s cruelest tactic was to morally blackmail with a life.
“Don’t worry,” Tess promised, then added. “But after two days, you won’t be able to control what I do.
“It’s a deal.”
“Kylie, you’re destined to be a loser.”
“The game isn’t over yet. Don’t be too presumptuous. It might backfire on you.”
Tess didn’t care about Kylie’s provocation at all..
She was just confident.
With the deal sealed, Kylie didn’t linger any longer.
She walked out of the ward..
Ethan and Adam were standing in the corridor, quite a distance apart,
It was clear they didn’t like each other.
More accurately, Adam disliked Ethan even more.
“Are you done talking?” Adam asked proactively.
“Yeah.”
“What did you talk about?” Adam was curious.
“I’ll tell you later. Let’s go back for now.”
Adam resisted the urge to ask further and walked over to push Kylie, leaving Ethan behind.
Ethan watched their backs.

Every time, he silently watched Kylie’s figure and then clenched his fists.
“Lucas,” “Tess called out to him,
Ethan glanced back, then turned and walked into the ward.
“Don’t you want to know what Kylie wanted from me?” Tess looked at him.
Since Kylie appeared, Lucas had become increasingly silent toward her..
It seemed like he didn’t care about Tess anymore.
“If you want to tell me, you will. If you don’t tell me, it’s useless for me to ask, Ethan said calmly.
Most women would have been driven crazy by such inherent alienation.
But Tess could remain composed.
100%
She said. “Kylie asked me to lend you to her for two days. If she can’t make you choose her during these two days, she’ll withdraw from our world from then on.”
Ethan’s fingers trembled slightly.
In a low voice, he asked. “Did you agree?”
You’re so smart. You should have guessed that I would agree.” Tess didn’t hide it. I’m willing to trade two days for peace between us in the future.
Ethan remained silent.
“Lucas, you wouldn’t betray me, would you?” Tess looked at him affectionately. “Because I trust you. That’s why I agreed. You won’t disappoint me, will you?”
“You shouldn’t have agreed to her Ethan didn’t give a direct answer.
“No, I have confidence in myself.”
“Then you shouldn’t have come to ask me for an answer. Ethan’s one was cold.
Tess bit her lip lightly.
She told herself she just needed to endure for two days
In the car, Adam couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say to Tess that was so secretive? Whatever you said, Tess wouldn’t just follow your lead”
“She agreed,” Kylie said indifferently.
“What did she agree to Adam was surprised.
“To lend me Ethan for two days.”
Adam was astonished
“You’re right. If I go to ruin their relationship after they get married, that would make me a mistress. The thing I hate most in my life is being sourone’s mistress, even. Kylie paused to steady her emotions before continuing. So I fought for myself for two days”
“How could less posubly agree to that Adam was genuinely surprised

Chapter 480
It was clear that Tess was at a huge disadvantage in this situation
“I said if Ethan in two days, I’ll disappear in front of them after they get married,” Kylie said.
I don’t g
“Can you do it?” Adam asked.
100%
“There’s nothing I can’t do.” Kylie leaned back in her seat, indifferently. I’ve already accepted Ethan’s death. Can’t I accept him cheating on me? If worst comes to worst, I’ll just pretend he died four years ago.”
Adam wanted to say something, but after a pause, he felt like there was nothing he could advise.
He just said. “Well, at least after trying your best, you won’t have any regrets. And if in the end you can’t be with Ethan, at least you’ll be able to choose Gideon without any worries.”
Kylie chuckled.
Adam really cared about Gideon.
