Chapter 384 Not That Kind of Man
Before Sebastian could finish his sentence, Derrick interrupted him.
Sebastian fell silent.
Derrick raised his ss of red wine and took a sip without saying anything more.
Sebastian hesitated, then continued, “You and Abraham really don’t need to keep fighting like this. The misunderstanding between the two of you should be cleared up. Or do you want to live in Pagina forever?”
Derrick’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
A cold smile tugged at his lips. “You’re right. Misunderstandings should be cleared up. It’s time for me to return to Falvaria.”
When he said the word “Falvaria, Sebastian couldn’t help but feel that there was something wrong with his tone.
<i>If </i><i>he </i>wanted <i>to </i>go back<i>, </i>fine, but <i>somehow </i>it felt like <i>his </i>reason wasn’t <i>that </i>simple.
It wasn’t just about this illegitimate son….
Thinking of Derrick’s father, Sebastian felt a new wave of injustice for him.
Derrick rhythmically tapped his long fingers on the table and mumbled the word “misunderstanding.
Mockery and amusement danced in his eyes..
That night Ste even had ate snack.
After she and Abraham returned home, both Eddie and Abel followed them into the study. Meanwhile, Tessa called.
And she was crying so hard she couldn’t even catch her breath.
Honestly, Ste had never heard her cry like that before. Sheforted her over the phone like she <b>was </bforting a child.
Tell me, what happened? Who upset you? I’ll take care of them.”
For Tessa to cry <i>like </i>that, who was it that had pushed <i>her </i>to the <i>edge</i>?
<i>If </i>it was <i>really </i>that serious….
Chapter 384 Not That Kind of Man
I still had my own team there, people Abraham had arranged for me. But since Derrick had forced me to leave Falvaria. I hadn’t used them, not even once.
I had avoided both Abraham and Derrick
But now that Tessa was crying like that. I really wanted to find out what had happened to Ms. Diana.
Unfortunately, Tessa was sobbing too much to even exin clearly.
“Hey, hey, stop crying. Let me send someone to look into it for you, okay?”
She was staying with Victor, and things had obviously not been resolved. Now Tessa was in tears. What on earth happened?
Wait a minute. Could it be Victor
No… Victor was cold and distant, but not the type to bully people indiscriminately
The next moment. Tessa proved that Ste’s thought was wrong.
Tessa sobbed, “It was Victor. He was <b>the </b>one who undressed me.”
Ste was stunned. “???”
She almost choked on her own saliva..
Wait… what?!
“Wasn’t it the maid?”
Wait. Victor always liked to be alone. <i>His </i>vi didn’t even have a maid.
The <i>only </i>person I have heard of working there is the cook, and he is a guy.
So when Tessa said she didn’t know who undressed her, <i>I </i>really should have guessed; it had to be Victor There was no one else.
But now, hearing it <i>for </i>sure….
On the phone, Tessa became increasingly annoyed by Ste’s silence. “Are you going to help met
or <b>not</b>?”
Um…
How shall I answer that?
Help her… deal with Victor?
I really don’t have the courage.

Even with Abraham backing me up, there were still some people <i>I </i>wouldn’t dare cross.
Especially people around Abraham; I knew exactly <i>who </i>was <i>off</i><i>–</i>limits.
Tessa cried even harder. “So you won’t help me?”
“No, no, it’s not that; I’m just scared.”
Really scared.
“Ste… ugh…
“At least… he didn’t do anything to you, right?”
Ste asked carefully.
No way. Victor couldn’t have hurt Tess.
After all, I had known <i>for </i><i>a </i>long time that Marie’s secret from Victor wasn’t… working.
<i>If </i>Marie dared to gossip about it with me, then it must <i>be </i><i>mostly </i>true.
Tessa sniffed. “Didn’t you say he couldn’t? How could he have done anything?”
She was lying on her bed when she said that.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she nced nervously at the door.
<i>I </i>had <i>promised </i>myself <i>that </i><i>if </i><i>Victor </i><i>ever </i>let me off <i>the </i>hook, I’d never gossip <i>about </i><i>anyone </i><i>again</i>.
But…
Toote. I’d already said it. And <i>only </i>to Ste. That didn’t count, did it?
Besides, the door was locked.
Ste replied, “Exactly.
<i>He </i>might have looked, but he didn’t touch <i>anything</i><i>. </i>
“So if he didn’t do anything, then why are you crying?”
Tessa had been sobbing <b>so </b>hard it was like she hadn’t been able to walk for three days.

Tessa sniffled again. “He looked at me, okay? That’s why I’m crying. He’s not normal, but I’m <b>a </b><b>normal</b>, unmarried woman.”
