Chapter 472 She’s Not an Undercover
Ste pondered. Undercover? Could they exaggerate Tessa’s capabilities any more?

Back in Rivermount, she’d <b>had </b>a <b>little </b>courage, but ever since arriving in Falvaria, she’d been scared out of her mind.
The kind of person who cried several times a day.
Who in their right mind would recruit someone like that as an undercover agent?
She couldn’t even handle the mission, let alone the emotional meltdowns that came with it.
Lewis was s
stunned by Ste’s sudden outburst. “Wait, I… I’m just telling the truth.”
Ste shot back. “She’s not cut out to be an undercover agent.”
Lewis replied. “But you can’t ignore the fact that she almost got <b>the </b>boss killed yesterday. That’s still the truth.”
Bottom line–Tessa hadnded herself in deep trouble with Victor.
Ste huffed. “Bottom line is, I’m taking her with me <b>today</b><b>.</b>”
After hearing everything Tessa <b>had </b>said earlier, she’d already known it wouldn’t be easy to take her away today.
But she hadn’t expected Victor to refuse so tly.
Even though he hadn’t said a single word yet, the fact that he allowed his subordinates <b>to </b>speak to her like this, it was clear. Taking Tessa <b>today </b>wouldn’t be easy.
So Ste hardened her stance as well.
<b>Thinking </b>of how desperately Tessa <b>had </b>cried just now, there was no way she could leave her behind.
And now, they even suspected her. I walk out now, who knows–Tessa might be dead the moment I turn my back!
Which only made Ste dig in her heels even more. “I have to take her with me.”
Seeing Victor still silent, Ste’s tone grew more forceful.
Lewis tried to reason with her. “Ms. Dawson, we know she’s your close friend from Rivermount, but what if she got close to you for a reason?”
He didn’t sugarcoat his words anymore.
Ste snapped, “She didn’t.”
Lewis <b>said</b>, “You can’t say <b>that </b>for sure.”
“You-
Ste was about to blow,
Just then, Victor shot her a nce and finally spoke, “You’re not taking her.”
His words were cold and resolute, each one sharp and firm.
Ste’s lips twitched. “Victor, this isn’t-”
“She may be connected to Ashen Pact.”
Ste froze. Ashen Pact?
Hearing that name made her chest tighten….

<b>She </b>wasn’t unfamiliar with it; two years <b>ago</b>. Derrick had seemed to have some ties to Ashen Pact.
And it was precisely because of that connection that she’d been terrified it would cause Abraham problems he couldn’t get
out of
That’s why she’dpromised and listened to Derrick back then.
Now, hearing Victor mention Ashen Pact again, Ste’s face paled.
But when it came to Tessa…
She still shook her <b>head</b><b>. </b>“No. There’s no way she’s involved with Ashen Pact.”
Victorraised his eyes, cold as ever. “Whether she is or not, we’ll wait for the investigation to decide.”
Ste couldn’t <b>say </b>a word.
<b>very </b>
Victor picked up the ss of water on the nightstand and took a sip. Even sitting on the bed, every <b>move </b>he made carried a jdangerous authority that left no room for debate.
Ste parted her lips, as if to argue again.
Lewis had seen enough to understand what was happening.
He quickly stepped up, “Ms. Dawson,e on,e on; let’s talk outside. The boss needs rest”
“<b>Tessa </b>has nothing to do with Ashen Pact.”
“Sure, I know you
u trust her, but trust and truth aren’t the same thing.
While he spoke, Lewis gently but firmly nudged Ste out of the room, leading her toward the <b>stairs</b>.
Ste didn’t back down. “I’m taking her no matter what.
Crying three times a day back in Rivermount–it <b>was </b>obvious the girl had beenpletely terrified. If she stayed here with Victor, who knew what kind of disaster mighte next?
was out of it.
As far as Ste was concerned, Tessa w
When someone’s mind was that foggy, they might do something totally out of their <b>control</b>.
At this point, whatever Tessa did, it could go horribly wrong.

wasn’t getting anywhere with Lewis.
Only Victor’s word–mattered now.
But the moment she turned around, Lewis grabbed her arm again. “Talking to the boss won’t change anything. This is his decision. You can only take her after the investigation’s done, okay<b>?</b>”
Victor’s decision.
So no matter what Ste said <b>today</b>, she wasn’t leaving with Tessa.
Frustration boiled over. “Then how long are you nning to investigate?” “We don’t know yet.”
