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

Chapter 28

Chapter 28~ Shocking news

Serena’s eyes lit up when she heard Aaron’s deep voice. He sounded angry and she was sure it was because he had witnessed how Tessa had viciously slapped her.

Her heart soared as she internally thought, ‘he still loves me! Why else would he be so angry? I’m sure he’s just tolerating this bitch because of those annoying little bastards!”

She decided to go all out and cried harder. Her performance was on point since she was determined to get rid of Tessa for good.

A few of the customers in the coffee shop began to pay attention to what was happening at that table. When Serena noticed this, a hidden smirk crossed her lips. So far, everything had been going according to plan.

She forced more tears out and glanced up at Aaron with puppy eyes, saying, “It’s not her fault, Aaron. I just wanted to know her better because she’s the mother of your kids but she suddenly began to scream at me. When I asked what was wrong, she slapped me.”

Serena purposely mentioned the kids so that it looked like she would be Aaron’s wife and people would think she had wholeheartedly accepted his children.

Aaron’s frown deepened as he assessed the situation. He had been nearby because he wanted to surprise Tessa with lunch when he suddenly received a text from a strange number.

His blood boiled when he realised it was from Serena and he felt worried for Tessa. This was why he told Enock to rush to the address that Serena had included in the text.

On his way, his stomach kept twisting and turning. His heart had jumped to his throat as fear crept into him. He happened to enter the shop the moment Tessa slapped Serena

Although he was proud that Tessa could hold her own, he was worried about her.

He walked towards the table and bent over when he reached Tessa’s side. Cupping her cheeks, he moved her head to face him, tilting it this way and that as if he was checking for injuries.

“Are you ok?” He asked her anxiously.

Tessa nodded and smiled at him, responding, “I’m fine. I just got angry.”

She then clenched her hand and winced because it hurt a little.

“What’s wrong?” Aaron inquired, his eyes falling on her clenched hand. “Are you in pain?”

“Yes, I think I used a lot of force,” she mumbled, pouting her lips.

Aaron grabbed her hand and said, “Let me see.”

He then began to massage her hand gently before bringing it to his lips and blowing on it. I’m sorry. It must hurt very much. I’ll massage it with some pain balm later.”

At his words and actions, Tessa felt her heart do a flip. She couldn’t believe what was happening. When she heard his voice, she thought he would rush towards Serena because he had been in love with her for a long time.

Looking at him now, it was as if Serena wasn’t at the same table. Tessa noticed how his attention

was solely on her. He kept his eyes on her as he massaged her palm and blew hot air on it

This made her heart feel warm

Meanwhile, Serena’s eyes widened at the turn of events. She didn’t expect Aaron not to care about her at all. He loved her! Seeing him treat Tessa with so much love and care made a flare of jealousy rush

through her.

“Aaron. I was the one who was unfairly slapped, why are you siding with this wench?” She questioned

Flames of fury flashed through Aaron’s eyes as he cast Serena a fierce look.

“Call her that one more time and you will be sorry,” he warned in a dangerously low voice.

Serena flinched at his tone. She bit her lower lip hard while clutching her Chanel bag. This was not what she had pictured at all!

She was the one with a swollen face. Why didn’t Aaron care about her? To make matters worse, he shouted at her to protect that woman.

Tessa should have been the one to suffer Aaron’s wrath, not her!

“Are you just going to take her side? I’m the victim here! She told me to stay away from you or she will kill me. Everyone here can testify that she slapped me! She’s dangerous!” Serena screamed desperately

However, she was ignored by Tessa and Aaron Aaron helped Tessa to her feet and he was about to leave with her when Serena’s voice stopped him.

“I’m suing her for assault! Aaron, do you think the law is in your hands?” Serena hissed and then began to scream hysterically. “Everyone, come and see the way the rich bully the weak! This woman had viciously slapped me just because she’s a billionaire’s sugar baby! Help me get justice!”

The people in the coffee shop began to gather around them. Serena had a big red bruise on the left. side of her face. Since she had gone under the knife to keep her jaws angular, her skin was sensitive and had become swollen from the trauma caused by the slap.

Seeing Serena’s swollen face, the spectators began to sympathise with her.

Someone recognised her and remarked. “Isn’t she Serena Winston, the woman Mr Wentworth was supposed to marry five years ago?”

Once that question was asked, a lot of people put two and two together.

“Isn’t that woman the mother of Mr Wentworth’s kids?” Someone asked, referring to Tessa.

-They all concluded Tessa was in the wrong because she looked alright and had attacked Aaron’s

fiancée for no reason

“How come the kids look around four or five years old? Was Mr Wentworth cheating on his fiancée back then?”

“How shameless of this Tessa woman. She was just a side piece who stole someone else’s man by trapping him with kids and she’s still acting like the world is beneath her feet.”

Serena smirked secretly and threw Tessa a challenging look.

‘See? You can’t win against me. So what if you have his kids? He’s going to marry me in the end,”

She said in her mind.

Aaron stepped forward to deal with the situation. The temperature in the shop dropped to a negative as he glared at Serena

However, Tessa grabbed his hand, stopping him. When he stared at her, she shook her head at

him, saying, “Let me deal with this on my own

Tessa wasn’t the same meek woman she was before. She was a boss now and she didn’t take shit

from anyone.

Crossing her arms against her chest, she looked at Serena and questioned, “Are you sure you want to sue me for assault?”

Serena sneered and said, “Stop trying to act tough. I’m sure videos have been taken here. Even if Aaron has the whole money in the world, there’s nothing it can do about public opinion.”

Tessa nodded, responding, “That’s true. That’s why I would like to thank you for this setup. At least the whole city will know your true colors.”

“I don’t know what you’re trying to say! All I know is, you should be locked up for assault!” Serena shrieked

Those who were supporting Serena shouted, “Yes, seek justice, Miss Winston. I hope Mr Wentworth can realise that he had dropped a diamond for a piece of wood.”

“I think she’s using the kids to control him. There’s no way a billionaire would fall for the likes of her Miss Winston is from a wealthy background.”

Tessa clenched her fists when she heard what they were saying. She didn’t have to explain herself but she wanted to put Serena in her place and remove the mask from her face.

She glanced around and saw the manager who was cautiously standing at the side, afraid to get involved in the rich people’s fight.

“Can I get the CCTV footage for this spot?” She asked.

The manager glanced at Aaron to seek permission. Both women were close to him and he

wouldn’t dare act rashly against any of them.

Aaron nodded at him. “Give her everything she needs.”

What Serena didn’t know was that this coffee shop belonged to Aaron’s late mother.

Serena’s heart jumped to her throat. Panic crept into her but when she looked around, she didn’t see any cameras close to where they were seated so she relaxed.

Ten minutes later, the manager brought out the footage and a laptop. He played it in front of everyone

There was no audio but one could see how Serena kept provoking Tessa with a smug look on her face and then it showed how Tessa slapped her in response.

Serena’s eyes flashed with fury. “That clip just proves that I was right! You slapped me and injured my face.”

Tessa smiled and took out her phone. “Yes, I know I’ll compensate you for that, don’t worry.”

She then played a recording on her phone.

When Serena showed up from nowhere, Tessa became suspicious and switched on the recording. app on her phone.

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves when the recording was done.

“I can’t believe Serena is such a scheming person. She literary changed personalities the moment Mr Wentworth stepped into the shop.”

“I now understand why Mr Wentworth didn’t marry her. She’s vicious.”

“A person who’s able to lie with a straight face and play the victim is dangerous.”

They kept talking and didn’t forget to praise Tessa.

“Tessa is a very humble woman. If anything she’s the one who should be behaving arrogantly. She gave the most powerful man children after all.”

“Did you see how calm and collected she was during the entire episode? She’s so smart and she defeated her enemy with facts by providing evidence.”

Serena’s jaw clenched. She was about to say something when Aaron’s chilling order shut her up.

“Go ahead and sue for assault. We shall be suing you for defamation of character. Tony will contact you soon about how much you will be paying Tessa to compensate her,” He said.

Tessa glanced at Serena and remarked. “You should have just left me alone. If the Wentworth group goes against you, I’m afraid the Winston group wouldn’t be able to survive. I’m letting this. go because Harry is my friend and he helped me a lot. I won’t be so merciful next time.”

After the commotion, Aaron offered to take Tessa to the office. On the way, he glanced at her and smiled bitterly. He remarked, “The things I am sorry for keep piling up. I must sound like a broken record to you each time I say sorry”

A small smile crossed Tessa’s lips. She briefly stared at Aaron and looked away.

“At least you learnt how to apologise. You never used to apologise. Back then, I just wanted you to be considerate of my feelings. Just like you are doing now. You changed but I changed too. I don’t know if I can love again.”

Aaron grabbed her hand and looked deeply into her eyes. “Tessa, I’ll make you happy. I’ll never hurt you again, I promise. Please give us a chance.”

Tessa took in a sharp breath, her heart pounding erratically against her ribcage. She recalled how Aaron had been good to her so far. Her heart felt warm. She was about to reply when Aaron’s phone rang.

He smiled at her and took it out of his pocket. His brows furrowed when he saw that it was his aunt, the kindergarten’s principal.

“Hello, Aunt Tina”

“Aaron, your assistant has picked up the kids. He said you’re busy today.”

Aaron sat up straight, his heart jumping out of his chest as a sense of unease settled in his NôvelDrama.Org content.

“What do you mean? Enock is driving my car right now. How can he pick up the kids when he’s been with me all day?”

Aaron and Tessa shared a worried look, their stomachs knotting as fear reflected in their eyes when it dawned on them.

The kids had been kidnapped!
