2/2 Chapter 436 Prison Food Chapter 436 Prison Food It was obvious Lewis was being warned-if he didn't eat the meal, things were going to get a lot worse for him.

Simple as that: Eat it, or else.

Lewis heard the message loud and clear.

Tessa ducked her head even lower, trying to disappear into her seat. She forced herself to keep eating.

+5 Free Coins She hadn't been hungry anymore, but after Victor's warning to Lewis, she knew-if she didn't finish her food, she'd be next.

And to make things worse, Victor's men were calling her "sis-in-law" now. That just made her want to cry. Lewis made his way to the kitchen.

One look at the pot of sticky, globby mess, and he was at a complete loss. Just looking at it made his stomach turn.

What kind of twisted talent does it take to ruin food like this? And the worst part-Tessa was actually eating it? Tessa glanced at Victor. "I don't think there's enough... maybe don't make him eat it." She was just trying to save the situation.

Victor obviously wasn't going to eat it. But if Lewis did, he'd definitely blow the whole thing. Someone without extremely strong guts was bound to throw up on the spot.

In the kitchen, Lewis nearly lost it when he heard that.

Seriously? She just said there's not enough of this garbage? What, did she grow up in a famine? Did the boss rescue her from a refugee camp or something? Victor glanced at her, then slid his own bowl toward her. "You want this?" Lewis broke into a cold sweat. He silently served himself a bowl-but didn't dare bring it out to the table. He stayed in the kitchen.

He braced himself, then took a bite.

It was salty to the point of being painful-and there was another strange flavor he couldn't even begin to describe. His face twisted in horror.

"Blegh-!" From the kitchen cloud retching sounds.

Tessa froze, her already pale face going completely stiff.

Was it really... that bad? In the kitchen, Lewis was trying everything he could not to throw up, but he couldn't hold it back. He collapsed over the trash can and emptied his stomach.

"Blegh- what the hell is this crap? -blegh-!" The two of them exchanged a glance, then quietly turned away. Normally they'd go help Lewis.

But not today.

They were starting to realize-they had terrible timing.

Back when their boss didn't have a woman, they could storm in and out whenever they wanted.

What a headache...

Tessa felt her whole heart jump into her throat.

She glanced nervously at Victor. Then at her own bowl. Then at the one he had pushed toward her-completely untouched.

From the kitchen, Lewis was still gagging. Still, Over just one bite.

She swallowed hard, gently set down her fork, and looked up at Victor with teary eyes.

"I'm full... can I go upstairs?" Victor looked at her, eyes narrowing slightly.

Tessa sniffled. Her eyes were red, clearly scared again.

Victor narrowed his gaze. So timid. What am I supposed to do with someone this soft? He hadn't even done anything-and she already looked like she was about to faint? Was this really one of Stella's friends? This soft? She sniffled again and asked a second time, barely above a whisper. "C-Can I?" Thankfully, Victor didn't press the issue. He gave a short nod. "Go."

The moment he said it, Tessa practically bolted to her feet and M rushed upstairs like she'd been pardoned by the president himself. As soon as she reached her room and shut the door, she instinctively locked it.

Then she immediately called Stella.

Back at Seaflats Cove, Stella saw the call from Tessa and felt a pang of sympathy.

It had only been a couple of days, but by now, she knew-if-Tessa wasm calling, meant she'd just gotten scared to death by Victor.

She picked up the call. "Calm down, I'll be back tonight. There shouldn't be any more delays." Abraham had already told people to start packing.

"Stella..." Tessa choked up. "Sob..."

Stella gently coaxed her. "I know, I know. You're scared. When I getm back, I'l I'll bring you to me, and from now on, wherever I go, you'll go too, okay?" She paused, thinking it over again.

Yeah, it was a mistake to leave Tessa with Victor in the first place.

Back when she had seen Abraham kill someone...
