Chapter 351 Engaged In Combat
Seeing Eddie, Ste twitched her lips, subconsciously ignoring him.
But Eddie sat opposite her and said, “You know what? That best friend of yours is really something. With all that wild energy, when she bumps into Victor, he might be the one who ends up worse off
Ste refuted, “Shut up. She’s just unsteady on her feet; she doesn’t do it on purpose,” thinking, What the hell is this? <i>I </i><i>don’t </i>want to talk to him. <i>He’s </i>getting on my nerves.
Eddie scoffed, “Many women have stumbled onto him all these years, but I’ve never seen one dare to strip him<b>…</b><b>” </b>
Ste stopped him, saying, “You’d better stop talking.”
Seeing that Eddie started to talk crap, Ste felt embarrassed and didn’t want to listen to him.
Ste was speechless. She then said, “No one can cure your habit of talking nonsense, huh<b>?</b>”
Eddie was startled when he subconsciously nced at Abraham, who looked off. Then he smartly shut up and stopped talking.
Ste called out, “Abraham.”
Abraham said, “Hmm, I will call Victor.”
Eddie was speechless, thinking, Alright, after all<i>, </i><i>she’s </i>still a <i>little </i>princess. Who else can <i>trouble </i>him <i>so </i>much?
Abraham picked up his phone and called Victor.
The phone rang once, twice, but remained unanswered as it was automatically hung up eventually after the final ring.
As Ste heard the final beep on the <b>phone</b>, her heart tensed.
<b>Abraham </b>said, “Both sides should already be engaging <b>in </bbat.”
Ste was shocked, thinking, Tessa, I’ve tried, <i>but </i>time just doesn’t <i>allow </i>it.
If Tessa had called her earlier, she might have been able to rescue her from that <b>situation</b>.
On the other side, Tessa trembled <b>as </b>she curled up under Victor’s legs.
<b>From </b>the moment she got in the car, she never managed to get out from under Victor’s legs.
She covered her head with both arms, her eyes were closed tightly.

Tessa was silently praying to her ancestors, “Dear ancestors, please help me get through this ordeal.”
She had been going through an ordeal for the past few days–she had been moving through such dangerous scenes<b>. </b>
The car kept moving, and it was going so fast that Tessa’s curled–up body was unsteady.
The space under Victor’s legs was small, and her waist kept rubbing against his calf.
Tessa screamed in fear the moment the explosion went off.
She could feel her eardrum shattered, as if those things could tear her apart anytime.
She was overwhelmed by terror, fear, and helplessness.
This scene persisted for more than an hour before the car finally stopped.
A man’s voice rang out from outside the car window as he said to Victor in a foreignnguage, “They were all eliminated. I will bring Ss to handle the cleaning.”
Victor replied with simple words, “Hmm.<b>” </b>
But even with this simple response, it still sounded dangerous to Tessa.
She <b>was </b>terrified.
Back then at Rivermount, she prided herself on having encountered countless hardships and challenges.
Now, she had never encountered such a tough situation–it was so overwhelming that it felt like it could engulf her anytime.
The scene came to a stop.
Tessa was still trembling.
As if he had forgotten her presence, Victor picked up his phone, called Abraham, and crossed his legs casually.
A muffled groan came from beneath his legs, and Victor froze for a moment.
He nced downwards and realized a small, trembling figure beneath his legs. He first froze, then it <b>hit </b>him – Tessa was here.
Abraham, who <b>was </b><b>on </b>the other end of the line, asked, “Is it over?”
Victor replied, “Yes, it’s over. The Dawne family is especially cautious this time, so it takes <b>a </b>bit longer.”

Victor replied in a respectful tone. “Understood.”
As he was about to hang up the call. Abraham asked again. “Is Tessa over there?”
Victor replied. “Yeah, she was below me.”
On the other side of the line, both Ste and Eddie were speechless.
When Abraham asked about Tessa, he put the phone on speaker.
Upon hearing him, Ste and Eddie exchanged nces several times; both of them were bbergasted.

Ste twitched her lips as she looked at Eddie, then <b>at </b>Abraham–countless question marks swirled around her head.
She thought. What does Victor mean<b><i>? </i></b><i>Is </i>that what <i>I </i>understood<i>? </i>Hold on, this is way too fast, isn’t it? Is Tessa willing? <i>It’s </i>impossible that she <i>would </i>be willing. On top of that, they are doing it under such a situation; what exactly does this mean?
