PopularNovelChapter 521 You Tore His Shirt! If Derrick thought marrying Marie would cover something up, then he seriously miscalculated.
With someone like Marie, he'd be lucky not to get completely wrecked.
A cover marriage? No. More like marrying a ticking tbomb.
+8 Pearls At the Dawson family estate.
Stella had just hung up with Abraham when a call from Tessa cin.
On the line, Tessa told Stella she'd done exactly what she was told-she hadn't done anything.
Stella responded, "Good. That's exactly what you need to do." As far as Stella was concerned, all the trouble Tessa had stirred up around Victor before was because she was too proactive.
Back in Rivermount, Tessa would've thought of these tricks on her own without Stella saying a word.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut around Victor... she was probably just too terrified to function properly.
However, one thing they'd overlooked-she and Victor were living under the sroof...
Just moments ago, Tessa had insisted she hadn't done a thing.
And then- "I tore Victor's shirt." The voice on the other end sounded like someone whose will to live had just died.
Wait, what? Tessa's sudden confession had Stella pausing in stunned silence for several seconds, her brain stalling.
Words kept looping in her head, belt buckle... towel... pants... shirt...
"You've basically stripped Victor down to nothing at this point." Forget Tessa being mortified-Stella was embarrassed just listening.
Tessa whimpered, "Don't say it out loud. I completely blacked out. It was like back in Shallow Bay all over again. Anyone watching would think I'm just dying to get into his pants. I can't explain this even if I had ten mouths- ugh..." The more she spoke, the more hysterical she sounded, and in the end, she just broke down crying.
Stella said, "You're calling that 'nothing happened?? Girl, you did everything.” And she wasn't wrong.
Even Stella had to ask, "Be honest with me. Do you like Victor? Are you doing this on purpose?" That pushed Tessa over the edge.
"I swear to God, I'm not doing it on purpose!" As if.
Still, Stella tried again. "Didn't I say not to do anything? Just stay still, do nothing, be a couch potato!" At this point, Stella was starting to question if Tessa had always been this accident-prone. Back in Rivermount, she'd never been this chaotic. But now? This level of chaos was next level.
Tessa whined, "I really didn't do anything!" 1/2 3.46 PM Chapter 521 You Tore His Shirt! "You didn't do anything, and you tore Victor's shirt?" "No, I didn't strip him. I tore it." "Sthing!" Stella snapped.
As far as she was concerned, there was no meaningful difference between the two.
Tessa muttered, "There's a difference..." Impossible to reason with.
Stella sighed. "Then don't go near him. If you don't like him, avoid him. But if you do like him- "I don't like him! I'm terrified of him!" +8 Pearls Those three men were scary as hell. Who the hell would like that? It was enough to make her want to dig a hole and hide.
Stella pressed, "Then don't see him, I'm begging you. If you really piss him off, I can't promise I'll be able to protect you." victor had status-not to mention, he was close to Abraham. If she made him truly angry.. the consequences could be bad. Really bad.
Sure, Abraham had said Victor probably liked Tessa. But to Stella? That didn't seem convincing at all.
Tessa sniffled, "It's not like I wanted to see him." If she didn't want to see him, then how did she end up ripping his clothes? Stella massaged her forehead. Headache central.
"Alright, enough about that.
Whenever they talked about Tessa and Victor, Stella felt like she was walking on a tightrope over a pit of fire.
She was just about to offer to send someone to pick Tessa upЄeven if she had to storm to storm the place herself.
But then Tessa said, "Let's talk about my mom instead." "You confirmed it foralready, right?" That was what she was really anxious about-news of her mother.
Stella answered, "Still confirming. I'll make a call and check." "Okay. Go ahead." Tessa hung up.
Marie glanced over. "Your bestie?" Stella nodded. "Yeah." Every tshe called, she sounded like she was scared out of her mind.
But when Stella tried to go get her? She refused to leave.
Marie smirked. "No wonder you've been missing the past couple years. no the past е You had a new sister out there." She said it in the most passive-aggressive tone imaginable.
