Chapter 383 The Truth She Could Not Ignore


    Still no response from Victor.


    Tessa grew more anxious by the second. She looked up nervously to meet Victor’s gaze.


    But the moment she did, she quickly lowered her head again.


    His eyes are terrifying


    <i>Especially </i>with that tattoo on <i>his </i>neck, he looks dangerous from every <i>angle</i>.


    She swallowed hard. “I–I just want to know who took my clothes off.”


    Victor said calmly, “Does it matter?”


    Tessa was stunned.


    What kind of answer is that?


    “It doesn’t matter?”


    She looked up again, this time with tears in her eyes.


    <i>I’m </i><i>really </i><i>upset</i>. I had <i>never </i><i>been </i><i>so </i>humiliated <i>in </i>my life. This was nothing like <i>the </i>world I once <i>knew</i>.


    All that danger… it used to <i>feel </i>so <i>far </i><i>away</i>.


    To <i>be </i>treated <i>like </i>this by a man, I had never even imagined it<i>. </i><i>But </i>now…


    Victor replied tly, “I took them off. So what?”


    Tessa stunned again


    The air went still again.


    Even the tears in her eyes froze.


    Victor stared at her. “Is there <b>a </b>problem?”


    Tessa asked softly, “<b>Isn’t </b><b>that</b>… a problem?”


    Victor said coldly, “What are you going to do about it?”


    <i>There </i>was a threatening edge to his voice<i>, </i><i>and </i><i>the </i>pressure <i>around </i>him was so <i>intense </i><i>that </i>I couldn’t <i>say </i>another word.


    Just like at the airport, he had taken liberties with me then, too.

    The way she stirred her bowl, it looked more like she was digging up Victor’s ancestral grave than eating dinner


    Victor chuckled softly. With your body, even if you offered yourself to me. I wouldn’t want it


    Tessa almost jumped


    Wouldnt


    Her mind shed <b>back </b>to all the gossip Ste <b>had </b>once told her.


    When she looked up again, shock hadpletely reced fear in <b>her </b>eyes.


    Victor put down his wine ss and gave her a sharp look. “What’s with that face?”


    “Nothing!” Tessa shook her head immediately.


    So what Star had said is truct


    That meant I had nothing to worry about. If he couldn’t do anything then he couldn’t have done anything to <ol><li>me. </li></ol>


    However<i>, </i>just because he couldn’t, it didn’t mean he could randomly undress people.


    Even if he couldn’t do anything others wouldn’t care why, they would just say that I was seen naked by a


    And they wouldn’t say he couldn’t. They just judge me.


    She turned away, clutching her bowl. “Anyway, you can’t take my clothes off again.”


    Victor raised an eyebrow. “Again?


    Tessa was stunned.


    Ligh


    What did he mean by that?

    Thatugh made Tessa’s scalp tingle: it felt like he was hiding something dark beneath the

    Back on Killis Ind, Derrick had tortured Bernie to the point where he could neither live nor die and had finally returned him to his brother, Bert.


    Over the years, after the fall of the Tom family, Sebastian had thought Derrick couldn’t possibly get any crueler.


    But Bernie…


    Had proven him wrong.


    Because Bernie had dared to have disgusting thoughts about Ste, Derrick had almost ended


    him.


    And all because Bert had begged for mercy.


    On the private airne on the way back to Pagina, Sebastian stilly on a bed. His leg had been saved, but the pain was unbearable.


    Derrick was on the phone, his voice icy. “Yes. Proceed as nned.”


    Sebastian jumped at the word “nned.”


    A n?


    Against Ste?


    There was only <i>one </i>person Derrick would go that far for, and <b>it </b>had to be her.


    When Derrick hung up. Sebastian asked. “You still have ns for that little firecracker?”


    Derrick gave him a cold sideways nce.


    Sebastian swallowed hard. “Abraham is already with her. All those years of feelings finally paid


    off.


    “Do you remember why she started liking him in the first ce?” Derrick asked.


    Sebastian <b>was </b>stunned.


    His heart tensed.


    Of course<i>, </i>I knew why <i>Ste </i>had begun to see Abraham that way.


    But did it matter now?
