Chapter 478 You Can't Leave Until I Say So Chapter 478 You Can't Leave Until I Say So "Victor." Lewis said.

"Get out." Victor snapped under his breath.

Lewis looked like he wanted to say more, but facing Victor's dangerous expression, he didn't dare utter another word.

He slowly stood up, then turned to Abraham and added, "Mr. Abraham, Victor hasn't touched a single woman all these years, so could you" "Out" Victor's voice grew sharper-the more Lewis spoke, the more outrageous he sounded.

Victor wanted nothing more than to sew his mouth shut with a needle.

Silenced by the outburst, Lewis finally shut his mouth for good and slunk out of the room, utterly deflated. Victor's eyes landed on the string of prayer beads that had somehow appeared in Abraham's hand. He frowned. "Since when did Mr. Abraham start liking that kind of thing?* He'd never believed in gods or spirits and certainly had no respect for them.

At Victor's question, Abraham looked at the beads in his hand and a faint, indulgent smile lifted the corners of his mouth.

"Star bought them at the airport. What do you think?" Victor fell silent Figures.

Of course. Who else but Stella could get Abraham to wear something that symbolized compassion? "She's always had good taste, Victor said.

If Stella had picked it, whether it suited him or not didn't matter-he had to say it looked good.

He glanced at the beads again. "Is that the first gift she's ever given you?" Abraham replied, "Not exactly. But it's the first tshe's ever picked something out so carefully." She'd given him gifts before too.

But back then, he'd never been there in person; he had no idea how she chose those things.

This time, he'd been right there-he'd seen firsthand how seriously she'd taken it.

Victor didn't respond. God. I feel like a kicked puppy.

Abraham cdownstairs and immediately heard Stella and Tessa deep in gossip. From where he stood, he could see Tessa gesturing animatedly, her whole face lit up with excitement.

A sudden wave of dissatisfaction swept over him.

She had cried so hard on the phone earlier, sounding completely broken-Stella had been worried sick.

And now, she didn't look the least bit rattled.

Tessa was saying. "Honestly, if things go south, the Keene family might end up just like the Reeds. Mark my words, Madeline is not one to mess with." *If Ethan can't take control of the Keene Group, then Madeline will destroy it herself before she lets Mr. Judson's illegitimate son have it." Over the years, Madeline and Judson had had a solid relationship.

Stella nodded. “Yeah, it might turn out even worse than what happened to the Reed family." With the Reeds, Susan never had much standing with Patrick to begin with to step into So when it ctto fight for anything, she didn't even get the chance to step into the ring.

But Madeline was different. Whether it was the company or the family, she had held real control for years.

If this blew up, it'd be way more tic than the Reed family's downfall-by miles.

Just as Tessa was about to keep going, Abraham's voice cut in. "Star, tto go." Hoth Stella and Tessa turned toward him at the stime.

Stella asked. "Victor agreed to lettake Tessa?" Tessa, hearing that, said, "Hold on, I need to ask Victor about my mom first." Lewis had mentioned it earlier, but before she'd had the chance to go upstairs, Abraham had shown up. "Just givea minute." With that, she dashed up the stairs.

Honestly, Stella had wanted to say that if there really was any news about Diana, Abraham would've known too. Turning her eyes away from the staircase, Stella walked over to Abraham. "What did Victor say?" Her brother had call the way here himself. There was no way Victor would still try to hold onto Tessa Just as Stella was thinking that she'd be able to take Tessa hsmoothly this time- Abraham looked at her and said in a low voice, "He really likes Tessa." Stella blinked. "Huh?"

What did that mean? Was it the kind of like I am thinking of? Wait a m minute Likes Tessa? Victor! That guy actually likes someone like Tessa? Abraham took her hand and said, "Just what you think it means." Stella protested. That's impossible.” So many tall, long-legged, fair-skinned beauties had crossed his path-bodies that were downright insane.

Flawless. Stunning.

Victor had seen every kind of woman imaginable over the years.

And now he was saying he liked Tessa? Stella didn't buy it.

She shot Abraham-a sharp glare. "Are you lying to me?"

They were just saying earlier that they suspected Tessa was connected to the Ashen Pact-and Asheppnow he was telling her that Victor liked her. There was no way this was real

Either Abraham was lying to her, or Victor was lying to Abrahamworse, they were both in on it, lying to her together. But one thing she was absolutely sure of- There was no way she was going to believe it
