Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1163 Wanda’s Scheming Again

The thought of this left Leah wallowing in sorrow as she slumped down on the table. To her surprise, she saw a sophisticated woman slowly approaching her.

It was none other than Wanda Muller who had been keeping a low profile for some time. She came prepared. Although she stayed out of sight, she kept herself informed of all of Tessa’s recent goings-on.

After seeing the headlines plastered across the Internet over the last two days, Wanda knew that Leah would surely be despising Tessa. Thus, she came to look for her. “You’ve finished your drink. Here’s another one on me.”

She held a glass out to Leah. Leah was startled. She moved her gaze away from the glass in front of her and stared at Wanda.

“You’re Wanda Muller, the Mullers’ daughter.” Leah recognized Wanda right away and knew that the woman in front of her was the main lead in the scandal a while back.

Wanda nodded. “That’s right. I’m Wanda Muller.”

“What do you want with me?”

Leah narrowed her eyes. In reality, she could hazard a guess as to why Wanda showed up here.

Wanda didn’t beat around the bush. She sat down and said, “I know you must hate Tessa a lot right now. Well, what a coincidence. I can’t stand the sight of her either.”

Once Leah heard this, she knew she guessed correctly.

This woman wants to team up with me.

She didn’t let this show in her expression as she piped up coolly, “And?”

“And are you going to just take this lying down? If you don’t want to, we can get our revenge together.”

Wanda gazed at Leah with a pair of compelling eyes.

Under the light, her beautiful face looked sinister as resentment colored her features. “I know you’ve been working hard all this while to gain popularity. You’ve sacrificed a lot in the process, but you’ve lost everything now, thanks to Tessa. You don’t even have the chance to recover from this. Are you willing to resign yourself to this?”

Wanda’s words ignited hatred in Leah’s heart, but in the end, Leah regained her cool.

“So what if I don’t want to resign myself to this? I don’t come from an influential background. I have nothing. How can I go up against Sawyer Group?”

Leah smirked self-deprecatingly.

Wanda’s eyes gleamed as she remarked, “What if I told you that I’m willing to back you up?”

“You?” Leah was taken aback. She studied Wanda before chuckling. “Miss Muller, have you forgotten about what happened a while back? Muller Group can’t stand against Sawyer Group. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll end up losing the company in the process?”

“If Muller Group goes down, then it goes down. I don’t care at all.”

Wanda meant what she said.

After all, the Mullers’ main seat of power was abroad.

These words were enough to sway Leah.

Although Wanda had lost in her previous fight with Tessa, she didn’t lose because of her family background. She only lost because her schemes had been exposed and someone found evidence to use against her.

Wanda’s family was not any less influential than the Sawyers. It was exactly what Leah needed the most right now.

Wanda noticed Leah’s piqued interest.

“You need my family background while I need you. This is a win-win situation. We have a common enemy, so we can discuss how to destroy her reputation and turn her into the target of society’s scorn,” Wanda persuaded.

Leah was even more convinced now, but she couldn’t agree to it quite just yet.

Noticing this, Wanda tempted her even further. “Don’t you want to rise up again and get back at all those who’ve mocked you and humiliated you today?”

“Do I still have the chance to rise up again?”

Leah eyed Wanda questioningly.

Wanda nodded proudly. “Of course. I told you. I’ll back you up, so as long as you work with me, you’ll have the chance to rise up again.”

Leah no longer hesitated. She immediately agreed to join forces with Wanda.

She wanted to turn things around and get back at those who humiliated her today!

Wanda stayed up drinking with Leah until late at night before leaving.

The two discussed a lot of things.

Most of the time, Leah did the talking while Wanda listened in silence.

The next day, they met up at a beauty salon and spa that belonged to the Muller Group.
