Chapter 479 Tell Her to Leave or No News for You
Before Abraham could say anything, Ste cut in.
“I’m not that stupid, okay? I’m telling you right now, I am taking Tessa with me today.”
She’d had enough. Do I look that easy to fool? Or had Abraham been tricked by Victor too!

The second one didn’t seem likely. After all, even Victor wouldn’t dare lie to Abraham. <b>So</b><b>… </b>it had to mean <b>they </b>were both lying to her.
“Star, Abraham said.
“I don’t care. I’m taking Tessa. You heard <b>her </b>earlier–she’s terrified of Victor.”
Just thinking about how pitifully Tessa had cried on the phone earlier made Ste even more determined not to leave her
behind.
She was still fighting to <b>take </b>her away.
<b>Abraham </b>rubbed his temples; this was giving him a headache…
Meanwhile, upstairs, Tessa stared nkly at Victor after hearing what he’d said. “I told you already, I <b>have </b>nothing to do with <b>that </b>stupid Ashen Pact. You can’t use that as an excuse to keep me here.”
Yeah. She <b>was </b>being <b>held</b>..
Panic set in.
Just <b>now</b>, Ste had tried to take her away, and he’d actually said no. even Ste couldn’t get me out of here, who else could possibly save me from this ment
Victor narrowed his eyes. “Until this matter is fully investigated, you’re not going anywhere.”
“I told you, I’m not involved.”
Victor gave her a long, deep,plicated look. “We don’t have the kind of rtionship where trustes easy.”
Tessa went quiet. What kind of logic is that? So just because he said it, that made it true?
“<b>And </b>your mother…” he started.
At the mention of her mother, Tessa’s ears perked up immediately<b>. </b>
She stared at him, desperate for more, but he suddenly stopped mid–sentence, watching her without saying another <b>word</b>.
Tessa’s nerves shot up. “What <b>about </b>my mom?”
“Go downstairs and get rid of Ste first,” Victor said.
Tessa froze. Wait, what… What did getting rid of Ste have to do with news about my mom?
She didn’t care about any of that–she pressed on. “Do you really know where she is?”
The moment he mentioned her mom, Tessa’s eyes lit up. There had to be news. Earlier, he’d even asked Lewis to call her <b>upstairs</b>.
It had to be about her mother.
But Victor just kept staring at her in silence.
Tessa
a got more anxious. “Where is she?”
<b>No </b>one had any idea how miserable she’d been these <b>past </b>few days. She was scared–scared of everything going on <b>around </b>
Victor…

News for You
<b>And </b>terrified for her mother’s safety.
Everything had happened so suddenly. To this day, she still had no clue what exactly had gone wrong.
<b>But </b>she’d made Wesley rush her over to Falvatia for a reason—and now her mother couldn’t be reached.
She didn’t need to think twice; something bad must’ve luppened. And <b>nose</b>, fully, there <b>as </b>some neam……..
Tessa shittled. “Mr. Victor.”
Victor looked away. “Go downstairs and send Ste away first,”
His voice <b>was </b>low, his meaning umumistakable–Tevsa wasn’t leaving this ce today.
Tessa panicked.
She started pacing, turning in anxious little circles. But seeing how firm Victor was, she finally headed toward the door.
“I’ll go <b>now</b><b>.</b>”
Whatever happened-
<b>Her </b>mother came first.
She needed that information more than anything. As for the danger surrounding Victor… she figured she could grit her teeth and bear il–for now,
Downstairs, Ste sat on the couch, face turned to the side, arms crossed over her chest. Everything about her screamed pissed off
Abraham tried to coax her. “There’s no way you’re taking <b>Tessa </b>today. Come back with me first.”
“No.”
Ste let out a loud buff.
Abraham sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Before he could say another word, Tessa’s voice rang out from the staircase, “Ste, you should go back first,”
Hearing her, Ste snapped her head up. “Huh?”
“Come on, just go back. I’m <b>fine</b><b>.</b>”
Ste was stunned. Wait, what? Who had been calling me five times a day in tears? Now she was saying she was fine?
“Did Victor threaten <b>you</b>?”
Tessa stammered, “What? No–ugh, I just <b>can’t </b><b>exin </b>it right now. Just go, okay?”
<b>She </b>really couldn’t exin anything clearly at the moment.
“If something happens, I’ll call you. Now, go back!”
Ste just stared at her. <b>She’s </b>really letting me leave? No way–Tessa… Who was the one sobbing on the phone, begging me toe get her? Now she’s just sending me away?
Tessa turned to leave, but Ste called out, “Wait.”
Tessa turned back around.
