If necessary, they might have to tap into Abraham's connections.
Hearing that, Tessa felt even more touched.
But before she could say anything, Lewis cdown the stairs and looked straight at her. "Ms. Tessa, the boss wants to see you you upstairs." The moment she saw Lewis, Tessa instinctively shrank behind Stella And after hearing his words, she clung even tighter to Stella's arm, refusing to let go.

You're the ones who insisted I take care of him Now something goes wrong and suddenly I'm the one who tried to kill him? Who even thinks like that?" The longer she talked, the more wronged she sounded.
She had told them she couldn't do any of it. She'd ruined that bowl of noodles beyond recognition.

Lewis looked annoyed at the word intimidate. "Alright, I was in a bad mood last night. I spoke harshly; don't take it out on me." Stella went quiet.
Tessa was stunned "What do you mean?" Lewis replied, "I mean, I've always treated you pretty well. Don't let one bad night scare you off." What? Treated her well? Was he hearing himself? Victor's treatment of her could hardly be called "good" Stella and Tessa were dumbfounded.

"I'll go right now!" News about my mother? That tough stance vanished in an instant? Stella was stunned.
Tessa couldn't afford to care anymore. No one knew just how much she'd been suffering these past few days; every second, her mind had been consumed by thoughts of her mother and Wesley, Still... Victor? Helping her find someone? That can be real, she thought. But whatever-I'll ask first and figure it out later.

Abraham glanced over at Stella.
Stella rose from the sofa and muttered, "If Tessa doesn't leave, ve then I'm not leaving either." Sline, sstance.
