The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You The man stepped toward Tessa with long strides, his tall, imposing frbringing a natural sense of pressure with it.

Feeling overwhelmed, Tessa instinctively backed away-but she was already on the sofa and had nowhere else to go.

"D-Don't cany closer," she stammered pitifully.

She clutched her pillow tightly.

Seriously? Just because she didn't open the door for him, was he really going to eat her alive? She was terrified...

Victor glanced at the cabshe'd shoved in front of the door, a faint, deep smile playing at his lips. “Pretty strong." That cabwas no lightweight.

Tessa's heart raced in panic. She sniffled and 1/8 11:49 Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You gave him a pitiful look.

77 Finished But after one glance at his expression, she lowered her head, feeling even more wronged.

Seeing her like this brought him a strange sense of satisfaction. He stepped forward and grabbed her off the sofa with one hand.

Like lifting a little bunny-she felt weightless in his grip.

Tessa was scared out of her mind. "Letgo!" Victor shoved her toward the door. "Go. I want to see how you moved it." Blocking the door with furniture again? So he climbed in through the window just to watch her move the cabinet? Was he seriously that bored? Tessa didn't want to, but she didn't dare talk back either. She shot him a pitiful look, then walked over and pushed the cabback to where it belonged.

2/8 11:49 Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You It was heavy...

لا 77 Finished It had taken effort to drag it over earlier, and now, with Victor standing there watching her with those sharp eyes, it felt even harder.

She struggled for a while before finally getting the cabback into place.

Then she looked back at Victor, pitifully.

He crossed his arms and chuckled lightly. “You're not even that strong. Was all that trouble really just to keepout?" Tessa: "..." Yes. Yes it was.

Especially after what Stella told her Abraham had said.

Before she could respond, Victor pulled out his phone and made a call-to Silas.

The line picked up quickly. "Silas. Sof the furniture needs to be replaced." "Huh? Is it broken?" Silas sounded confused.

3/8 11:49 Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You &u!3 (7; Finished But that didn't make sense. All the furniture in the house was top-of-the-line. If he'd said he was tired of looking at it, sure. But broken? Then Victor said something that made Silas go stiff.

Just two words: "Too light." What? Was he serious? Did he mean he wanted it replaced so she couldn't move it anymore? That felt a little unfriendly.

Replacing everything with furniture she couldn't budge-wasn't that just to stop her from barricading herself? That was kind of unreasonable.

She was a girl living alone with a man. Was it a crto have a little sense of personal safety? Tessa grumbled silently to herself, but she didn't dare show a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

4/8 11:49 Bu 77 Finished Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You Silas, on the other hand...

He thought he must've misheard.

"What did you say?" Too light? What the hell did that mean? Victor: "Are you deaf?" Irritation already crept into his voice.

Silas: "Ah-no, no. I'll change it right away." Didn't matter if he heard right or not. Didn't matter how absurd the reason was. If the boss said it, it was happening.

"I'll get on it now. Don't worry." Silas hung up quickly-he wanted to keep his ears intact.

Once the call ended, it was just Tessa and Victor again. She stood beside the cabinet, looking awkwardly at him.

Victor sat down on the sofa. "Chere." Tessa still held her pillow tightly. When she heard that, she hugged it even harder.

5/8 11:50 Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You Bu 77 She took a step back on instinct. "No." Both her mouth and her body were Finished completely honest.

Clearly, Victor had left quite the psychological scar on her these past few days.

Seeing the fear on her face, Victor's smile disappeared, replaced by a chilling coldness.

"Hm?" That one syllable alone made Tessa feel the danger in his voice more vividly.

For a moment, she actually considered bolting for the door.

But she didn't dare...

Under Victor's watchful eye, where could she possibly run?

The pressure coming off him was icy and intense. Tessa's heart was m pounding. We can just talk like this.

You can hear me." She took another step back after the last few words.

Victor raised an eyebrow. Her courage really was tiny. He hadn' even said anything yet and she was En already this scared? Then he thought of what Silas had found during his investigation.

According to those files, she hadn't been this timid back in Port City.

Must've been all the chaos she'd been through lately-it had shaken her to the core.

Seeing Victor stay silent, Tessa finally spoke, stammering a bit “Actually... have something I want to ask you.” She was scared, but sthings needed to be clarified.

Her voice was small, but she still dared to ask.

Victor's stern expression softened into a smirk. "Ask." Tessa: "Why did you tell Abraham... that you liked me?" 7/8 11:50 Bu 77 The Returned Heiress Who Never Bit Th 99 Finished She had to get an answer. If she didn't, she'd be on edge for days and wouldn't be able to sleep a wink.
