Chapter 401 Unavoidable Chaos
At the very least, none <b>of </b>those people were as ruthless <b>as </b>this man, who killed without a second thought.

Perhaps it was because of <b>Victor’s </b>past actions, but at this moment, even though he said nothing, <b>Tessa </b>could still <b>feel </b>the sheer danger emanating from him.
She had already been terrified, and now she <b>was </b>even more afraid…
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Victor’s voice was cold. “Stop crying.”
Women are such a hassle.
Tessa sniffled. “Let go of me.”
I don’t want to be this <i>close </i><b><i>to </i></b>him, <i>I </i>want to <i>go </i><i>home</i>. <b><i>I </i></b><b><i>just </i></b><i>want </i><i>to </i><b><i>go </i></b><b><i>home </i></b><i>now</i>.
Victor narrowed his eyes.
The dangerous aura around him was growing stronger.
Tessa quickly added, “Alright, alright, don’t let go! If you want to hug me, then fine, go ahead, hug me all you want.”
Whimpering softly, she instinctively clutched at her cor, terrified that the man would suddenly lose his temper, tear her clothes apart, and toss her out.
I’m finally beginning to <i>understand</i>.
This dangerous <b>man </b>is <i>not </i>under Abraham’s <i>control. </i>
When Abraham isn’t watching<i>, </i><i>Victor </i><i>does </i><i>whatever </i><i>he </i><b><i>pleases</i></b>.
<i>He </i>is the kind of <b><i>man </i></b>who <i>made </i><i>his </i>own <i>rules</i>.
Even <i>if </i>Abraham had <i>personally </i><i>instructed </i><i>him </i>to <i>take </i><i>care </i>of <i>me</i><i>, </i><b><i>could </i></b><i>this </i><i>even </i><i>be </i><i>called </i><i>“</i>taking <i>care</i>“<i>? </i>
Tessa felt like she was about to die from fear.
Victor looked down at her curled–up posture and let out a low chuckle. “How did Ste end up with a friend like you?”
That little princess was no <i>pushover</i><b><i>. </i></b>
<b><i>For </i></b>years, she had <i>been </i>spoiled by Abraham, and <i>her </i><i>courage </i><i>was </i><i>unmatched</i>. <i>Anyone </i>who <i>crossed </i><i>her </i><b><i>would </i></b><i>end </i>up <i>paying </i><i>the </i><i>price</i>.
<b><i>And </i></b>yet someone like <i>her </i><i>had </i><i>befriended </i><b><i>someone </i></b>like <i>this</i>.
Tessa was stunned.
<b>What </b><b>did </b>he <i>mean </i>by <b><i>that</i></b><b><i>? </i></b>
Victor finally let go of her trembling frame and stood up. “Go take a shower and change your clothes.<b>” </b>
The moment she heard those words<b>, </b><b>a </b>chill ran down <b>Tessa’s </b>spine. “Why do I need to change?<b>” </b>
My clothes <b>are </b>a <i>little </i>messy<b>, </b><b><i>sure</i></b>.
<b><i>But </i></b>the fact <b>that </b>this <b><i>man </i></b><b>was </b><b><i>asking </i></b><b><i>me </i></b>to <i>shower </i><b><i>and </i></b><b><i>change</i></b><b>–</b>it <b><i>doesn’t </i></b><b><i>sound </i></b><i>right</i>.
Especially <b><i>after </i></b>everything <b><i>that </i></b><b><i>had </i></b><b><i>happened</i></b><i>. </i>
<i>Now</i>, <b>I’m </b>even more <b>wary </b><b><i>of </i></b><b><i>him</i></b><b>. </b>
<b>Victor </b>shot <b>her </b>an icy <b>re</b><b>. </b>“<b>We’re </b><b>heading </b>to another location soon. Hurry up.”
Tessa <b>was </b>stunned, “<b>We’re </b>leaving again?<b>” </b>

Victor simply responded with a slight nod <b>before </b>turning and walking <b>away</b>.
The moment he <b>reached </b>the door, panic surged through <b>Tessa’s </b>chest<b>. </b>
“Can I not go<b>?</b>”
Oh <i>God</i><i>, </i>I <i>really </i><b><i>don’t </i></b><i>want </i><i>to </i><b><i>go </i></b><i>anywhere</i><i>, </i><i>especially </i>not with him.
<b><i>I </i></b>kept encountering <b><i>dangerous </i></b>situations, and it <b>was </b><i>terrifying</i><i>. </i>
Victor turned his <b>head </b>slightly and looked at her without saying a word. Then, he stepped out.
<b>Tessa </b><b>was </b>helpless.
<i>Help</i>! I <i>really </i><b><i>don’t </i></b><b>want </b><i>to </i><i>go </i><i>anywhere </i>with <i>this </i><i>man</i>.
Victor <b>was </b>gone.

Left alone, Tessa picked up her phone with trembling hands and checked the screen. The call had already disconnected.
She quickly redialed Ste.
Ste answered almost immediately. “Tessa.”
“Ste, if you don’te back to Falvaria soon, I don’t think I’ll live long enough to <b>see </b>you again.”
<i>The </ist incident <b><i>had </i></b><i>nearly </i>cost <i>me </i><i>my </i><i>life</i><i>. </i>
And now <i>this</i>…
Hearing Victor <b>say </b>“hurry,” Tessa couldn’t shake the feeling that things were going to escte.
<i>It </i><i>might </i><i>even </i><i>be </i><i>worse </i><i>than </i><i>before</i>.
<i>Even </i><i>if </i><i>I </i>have 10 <i>hearts</i>, <b><i>I </i></b><i>won’t </i><i>survive </i><i>this </i><i>level </i><b><i>of </i></b><i>stress</i>.
Ste paused for a moment beforeughing softly. “Don’t be ridiculous. Victor will protect you.”
Tessa <b>was </b>speechless.
Is <b><i>she </i></b>serious<b><i>? </i></b>
Stelia added, “I already sent my people to find Ms. Diana and your assistant, Wesley.”
“When exactly are youing back?” Tessa asked urgently.
Finding <i>my </i>mom <i>and </i><i>Wesley </i>is <b><i>one </i></b><i>thing</i>.
<b><i>But </i></b><i>the </i>most <i>important </i><i>thing </i><i>for </i><i>me </i>is to <i>get </i><i>away </i><i>from </i>Victor. <i>He </i>is <i>terrifying</i><i>. </i>
<b>Ste </b>said, “If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow.”
Tessa asked, “Unexpected?”
Ste replied, “Can’t <b>say </b>for sure.<b>” </b>
Last time we were <i>supposed </i>to <i>return </i>to <i>Falvaria </i><b><i>from </i></b><i>Kealis </i><i>Ind</i><i>, </i><b><i>but </i></b>for <b><i>some </i></b><b><i>reason</i></b>, Abraham <i>had </i><i>gone </i><i>to </i><i>Rivermount </i><b><i>instead</i></b>.
<b>Tessa </b>sighed. “How <b>can </b>there be unexpected dys <b>just </b>to go home?”
<b>Her </b><b>voice </b><b>was </b>noticeably <b>weary</b>.
She had no <b>idea </b>what <b>was </b>happening outside<b>–</b>all she knew was that the situation <b>was </b>dangerous.
The only way <b>to </b>avoid staying <b>near </b><b>Victor </b><b>was </b>to wait for Ste to return.

Ste sighed. “Listen, I know you’re on the verge of breaking down, but Tessa, you need to ept a harsh reality.”
“What reality?”
Right now, I <i>don’t </i><i>want </i><i>to </i>ept <i>anything</i>–<i>nothing </i>at <i>all</i>.

Ste’s tone was quiet but firm. “Your mother, Ms. Diana, might have crossed the wrong people. The peace in your world might havepletely copsed.”
