Ste nodded. “Mm, I believe you.”

Tessa whispered, “You’re probably the only one who does. You have no ideast night, the people around him looked like they wanted to cat me alive.”
Especially what Lewis had said; the moment those words hit her, Tessa’s mind just went bang–it felt like <b>nothing </b>she said could ever clear her name <b>again</b>.
Ste gentlyforted her, “Alright, alright. It’s okay now.”
Bottom line was if Victor didn’t give her the green light to take Tessa, then Ste wasn’t leaving either.
Upstairs, when Victor heard that Ste had nted herself here because of Tessa, his expression darkened further.
His eyes narrowed slightly, “Call the boss. Let hime take her <b>himself</b><b>.” </b>
Lewis twitched at <b>the </b>suggestion of having Abrahame in person. “If the bosses, he’s probably taking your girl with him too, huh?”
Victor <b>was </b>stunned Lewis‘ words made his expression freeze for a moment.
He shot Lewis <b>a </b>cold look–but oddly, it wasn’t quite as icy as before.
Lewis blinked, confused by that look. “What? Did I say something wrong?”
If Abraham came to pick up the little princess in person, there was no way Tessa wouldn’t be taken too.
Everyone knew how ridiculously pampered she was; if she wanted <b>stars </b>from the sky, Abraham would probably haul down at meteor for her.
Now that she was just asking to take someone away, he couldn’t j
just say <b>no</b>.
Victor echoed, “My woman?”
Lewis stammered, “Uh? Isn’t she?”
They were living under the same <b>roof</b>–no maids, no cooks. Just the two of them, alone in every sense.
If she wasn’t his woman… then what was she?
Lewis wondered if he’d misread something, but Victor didn’t say anything to refute it.
Lewis scratched his head. “So… should I call the boss now?”
He had no idea what was going through Victor’s mind, but getting the boss over here seemed like the smart move.
Otherwise, if the little princess insisted on staying here… that wouldn’t look good at <b>all</b><b>. </b>
Victor replied, “Go ahead.”
“So… should the bosse <b>pick </b>up one person or two?”
Lewis was <b>starting </b>to get confused.
Clearly, he hadn’t fully understood what Victor meant just now.
<b>That </b>question earned him a look–Victor stared at him like h
You think it takes the boss himself toe get one person?” Lewis <b>blinked</b>, “Right.. only one, then<b>.” </b>

<b>person</b>.
<b>So </b>the boss still wasn’t allowing Ms. Tessa to be taken. If he were, they wouldn’t need Abraham to show up
Downstairs, Ste picked up a call from Abraham. His voice on the line was calm and warm. “Did you get <b>Tessa</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Clearly, Abraham still didn’t know what was happening on Victor’s end.
Ste replied, “I saw her, but I <b>couldn’t </b>take her.”
“What happened?”
The moment Abraham heard that, he knew something <b>had </b>gone wrong.
His voice carried a note of displeasure.
Ste exined, “They’re insisting that Tessa <b>has </b>ties to the Ashen Pact. They won’t let me take
“Well let me tell you–if they won’t let me take her, then I’m not going <b>either</b>. I’m staying here. I’ll out–stubborn all of them.”
She huffed indignantly.
<b>And </b>just like that, the air on the other end of the line turned ice–cold.
Tessa heard Ste <b>say </b>that and was overwhelmed <b>with </b>emotion; this was her Ste. No <b>wonder </b>she’d always protected her so fiercely back in Rivermount..
Ste repeated. “If I can’t take Tessa, then I’m not leaving”
Her tone was unshakably firm.
In her heart, she was thinking about all those times in Rivermount when Tessa had stood by her–fighting the Reed <b>family</b>. confronting Ethan.
Even when the Reed family had tried to shut down her studio, and Tessa–who hadn’t known Abraham’s background- thought Ste <b>had </b>no one to rely on:
She’d even begged Diana, her mother, to step in and help.
Hearing Ste so worked up, Abraham gently reassured her, “Tming now. Wait for me.”
The call ended
Ste turned tofort the still–clinging Tessa. “Alright… it’s <b>going </b>to be okay
“Ste, thank you.” Tessa choked up.
So much had happened in her worldtely, and the only thing keeping her grounded was Ste’s support.
Even when she was still back in Rivermount, the hope Ste gave her had helped her survive.
Ste replied, “Don’t be silly.”
“I actually need your help with something too<b>. </b>
“Finding <b>your </b>mom?” Ste asked.
She didn’t even need Tessa to exin; she already knew what this was about.
Tessa nodded. “Mm. I need to find my mom’s whereabouts as soon as possible. And Nie Jiang <b>too</b>…”
That day, she’d been taken away by those people.
