    Chapter 402 Uncertain Fate


    Chapter 402 Uncertain Fate


    Ste thought in her mind.


    Although <i>the </i>words were harsh, <b>Tessa </b><b>wouldn’t </b><i>be </i><i>able </i>to <b><i>ept </i></b><b><i>them </i></b><b><i>in </i></b><b><i>just </i></b><b><i>a </i></b><b>few </b><b><i>days</i></b><i>. </i>


    <i>But </i><b><i>I </i></b>still had to <i>say </i><i>them</i><b><i>. </i></b>


    <i>Especially </i><b><i>since </i></b><i>my </i><i>people </i>were <i>already </i><i>dispatched</i>, <i>and </i><b><i>there </i></b><i>was </i><i>still </i>no <i>news</i>.


    Over <b><i>the </i></b><b><i>years</i></b>, <b><i>I </i></b><b><i>had </i></b><b><i>seen </i></b>too <i>much </i>in <i>the </i><i>Dawson </i><i>family</i><i>, </i><i>a </i><i>life </i><b><i>full </i></b><b><i>of </i></b>ups <i>and </i><i>downs</i>.


    <i>The </i><b><i>peace </i></b>in Tessa’s world had <i>likely </i><b><ie </i></b><b><i>to </i></b><i>an </i><i>end</i><i>. </i>

    <b>Ste </b>said, “Even though you’re terrified of Victor, even afraid of the dangers surrounding him, you need to ept the fact that no matter where you go, danger will follow.”


    <b>Tessa </b><b>was </b>stunned.


    Hearing this, her chest tightened.


    <i>Ste </i>is right. No <i>matter </i><i>where </i><i>I </i>go now<i>, </i>it is <b><i>dangerous</i></b><b><i>. </i></b><i>Mom </i><i>had </i><i>rushed </i>to <i>pack </i><i>me </i><i>off </i><b><i>overseas</i></b>.


    I <b><i>haven’t </i></b>even had <i>time </i>to <i>arrange </i><i>my </i><i>things</i>, <i>and </i><i>yet</i><i>, </i><i>arriving </i><i>in </i><i>Falviaria </i>isn’t <i>any </i><b><i>safer</i></b>.


    From Rivermount to Falvaria, Tessa finally realized that the people her mother had offended held significant power.


    Thinking about this, her emotions spiraled further. “Ste… Argh… Come back soon, please…”


    Right now, Tessa didn’t want to ept anything. She just wanted Ste to hurry back.


    Ste sighed, “I know. Just don’t cry, alright?”


    Over the phone, Ste kept soothing her, reassuring her that she had already sent people to find Diana.


    Gradually, Tessa’s emotions settled, and she began to ept the changes in her world.


    After the call ended, Tessa bit her lip, clutching her phone tightly.


    Lewis came up to summon her. “Tessa, your boyfriend wants you downstairs. We’re leaving.”


    The words “your boyfriend” sent a shiver through her.


    <b><i>Wait</i></b>, how <b><i>had </i></b><b>I </b>suddenly <i>be </i><i>Victor’s </i><i>girlfriend</i><i>? </i>


    <b>Tessa’s </b>eyes were still brimming with tears.


    Seeing her in this state, Lewis couldn’t help but remind her, “You better stop crying. Victor doesn’t like women who much. <b>Be </b>careful, or he might just leave you behind.”


    Tessa <b>was </b>shocked and speechless.


    <b>Her </b><b>tears </b><b>fell </b>even harder<b>. </b>


    Lewis sighed and turned away. “Hurry up, Victor isn’t patient. He won’t wait for too long.”


    With that, Lewis went downstairs.


    Tessa <b>had </b>barely managed to stop crying, yet now the <b>tears </b>came rushing back.


    Victor <b><i>had </i></b>sent <b><i>someone </i></b>to <b><i>call </i></b><i>for </i><b><i>me </i></b><b><i>again</i></b>. <b><i>That </i></b><b><i>meant </i></b><b>I </b><b><i>had </i></b>no <b><i>choice </i></b><b><i>but </i></b><b>to </b><b><i>go</i></b><b><i>. </i></b>


    <i>Oh </i><i>God</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><b><i>really </i></b><b><i>don’t </i></b><b><i>want </i></b>to go.


    In the end, she quickly <b>washed </b>up and changed into the clothes Victor had <b>prepared </b>for <b>her</b>.

    Before stepping out, she sent a message to Ste.


    The subject read: “Testament.”


    The content, well, it <b>was </b>a long one.


    s


    Meanwhile, on Ste’s side, she was having a meal with Rianne.


    Seeing the message titled “Testament,” she nearly choked on her drink. “Pift-!”


    <i>Is </i><i>Tessa </i><i>serious</i>?


    Rianne looked at her. “What’s wrong?”


    Ste wiped the corner of her mouth. “Tess haspletely lost it.”


    She had even prepared <i>her </i><ist </i><i>words</i>.


    <i>Just </i><i>how </i><i>terrifying </i>had <i>Mr. </i><i>Victor </i><i>been </i><i>for </i><i>her </i><i>to </i><i>go </i><i>as </i><i>far </i><i>as </i>writing <i>a </i><i>testament</i>?


    <i>I </i><i>had </i><i>told </i><i>her </i><i>that </i><i>Victor </i><i>was </i><i>reliable</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>she </i><i>simply </i><i>refused </i><i>to </i><i>believe </i><i>it</i>. <i>Her </i><i>fear was </i><i>overwhelming</i>.


    I <i>had </i><i>never </i><i>seen </i><i>Tessa </i><i>so </i><i>scared </i><i>before</i><i>. </i><i>In </i><i>the </i><i>past</i>, <i>she </i><i>had </i><i>been </i>so <i>fearless</i>.


    What <i>had </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Victor </i><i>done</i>? <i>He </i>must <i>have </i><i>terrified </i><i>her </i><i>beyond </i><i>reason</i>.


    Rianne asked, “Is Victor really trustworthy?”


    Hearing Tessa sob like that over the phone, Rianne couldn’t shake the feeling that the man was anything but reliable.


    Ste nodded. “Mr. Victor is very reliable. Tessa just hasn’t gotten used to him.”


    Rianne frowned. “Who could ever get used to that?<b>” </b>


    At least I know <i>I </i><i>can’t</i>.


    <i>Living </i><i>constantly </i><i>on </i><i>the </i><i>edge</i>, <i>where </i><i>one </i><i>wrong </i><i>move </i><i>could </i>cost <i>my </i><i>life</i>.


    Ste chuckled. “Alright then, what about you? You’re always around Tempest<b>.” </b>


    <i>Tempest </i>isn’t a simple <i>man </i><i>either</i><i>–</i><i>on </i><i>the </i><i>surface</i><i>, </i><i>he </i>is <i>a </i><i>medical </i><i>tycoon</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>behind </i><i>the </i><i>scenes</i>…


    I had <i>heard </i><i>Abraham </i>mention him <i>once</i><b><i>. </i></b>


    Not much was <i>said</i>, <i>but </i>it <b>was </b><i>enough </i>to confirm <i>that </i><i>Tempest </i><i>wasn’t merely </i><i>an </i><i>upright </i><i>man</i>.


    Rianne frowned in confusion. “Him? He’s nothing like Mr. Abraham.”


    Hearing this, Ste knew Rianne probably had no idea.


    Just <b>as </b><b>they </b><b>were </b>about to continue the conversation<b>, </b><b>Ste’s </b>phone rang.


    <b>She </b>nced at the number.


    It is <b><i>an </i></b><i>unknown </i><i>caller</i><i>–</i><i>odd</i><i>, </i><i>given </i><i>that </i><i>very </i>few <i>people </i><i>had </i><i>ess </i>to <i>my </i><i>number</i>.


    She picked up. “<b>Hello</b>?<b>” </b>


    “It’s me<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>A </b>familiar <b>voice </b>came through.


    <b>Ste’s </b><b>eyes </b>widened. “<b>!!!</b>”


    <b>1:21 </b><b>PM </b>


    Chapter 402 Uncertain Fate


    It was Derrick.


    He had even managed <i>to </i><b>get </b><b>my </b>private <i>number</i>.

    Her expression turned cold immediately. <b>“</b><b>What </b><b>do </b>you want?”


    <b>“</b>When are youing back to Falvaria?”
