PopularNovelChapter 549 Scumbag, Interrupted Stella: "Do you believe that?" There was no way anyone could believe that.
And not just Stella-Tessa herself didn't even buy her own excuse.
"But it's true," Tessa muttered, a hint of grievance in her voice.
70% DX Finished Heaven help her, but whenever she was in front of Victor, her limbs and mouth really did seem to develop a mind of their own.
By the tshe realized what she'd said or done, it was already too late-she was left staring into space, speechless at herself.
Stella: "Then be honest. Do you actually like Victor?" "I really don't dare to." Tessa repeated, dazed by the question.
5 God knows, that whole 'marry you' line hadn't cfrom ssecret affection for Victor.
Even now, she had no idea what possessed her to say something so utterly ridiculous.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as those words left her lips, the door to the room gave a soft click as it opened.
The man standing there had no readable expression.
But the moment Tessa looked at him-especially when her gaze met those eyes cold as the bottom of a frozen lake her heart clenched instantly.
Meanwhile, at the Dawson estate- Stella was still on the phone with Tessa when the call suddenly dropped.
She called out "hello" a few times into the silence, but got no response.
At that moment, Marie walked in from outside.
Seeing Stella, she gave a loud hmph. "On the phone with your bestie from Rivermount again?" Her tone dripped with vinegar. You could practically smell the jealousy in the air.
Stella replied with a faint "mm." Marie huffed, "You tell her to quit calling you so much. Abraham won't be happy about it.” T 1 W X Chapter 549 Scumbag, Interrupted I mean, what kind of woman keeps clinging like that? Multiple calls in a single day? Wait a minute... "She's not into Abraham, is she?" Finished Just moments ago, Stella had been thinking that Abraham wasn't the one annoyed-but Marie clearly was. Hearing that comment, Stella twitched. "What are you talking about?" There's no way Tessa was that kind of person.
Marie snorted. "Don't say I didn't warn you. Isn't there a saying in Rivermount? 'Guard against fire, thieves, and your bestie."" Stella: "Tessa not like that. Don't talk nonsense." She knew Tessa's personality inside and out.
She'd just been spooked being around Victor lately and started losing her grip. If she were back in Rivermount, she'd never act like this.
Marie: "What the hell?" Stella: "..." This woman really knew how to focus on the wrong details at the worst times.
Marie looked like she was about to say more when her phone rang.
She glanced at the number-another unknown caller.
After a moment's thought, she answered: "Go ahead, tellhow you plan to humiliatethis tso I can prep my counterattack, you scumbag." She didn't even give the other person a chance to speak.
One look at the unfamiliar number and she already knew who it was.
She'd blocked the last one.
Dan, that bastard, was relentless.
When Stella heard her casually drop a "scumbag," her lips twitched. She hadn't thought of Dan-she figured it was probably that fiancée of his, that Ella girl.
After all, women fighting each other usually cwith spretty vicious words.
But then- "You woman-can you even control your mouth? If not, I'll rip it off for you!" Dan's voice burst through the phone, each word seething with rage.
2 213 23:49 Mon, Aug 4 70% X Finished Chapter 549 Scumbag, Interrupted What man wouldn't explode after getting cursed out like that? Stella froze. Wait... she's cursing at Dan? She was stunned.
You could... talk to men like that? If she'd known, she would've gone off on Ethan years ago! She'd always thought insults like that were reserved for other women. Turns out they worked great on men, too.
And judging from Marie's tone, it was pretty effective.
Marie let out a sneer. "Rip my mouth off? You think you can focus on recovering first, why don't you."
"Getting your ass beat to a pulp and you still think you're in any shape to cafter me? Go look in the mirror and see what kind of mess you are." Every word out of Marie's mouth slammed straight into Dan like a punch.
It was hard to believe this man had once held the most sacred place in her heart.
Because who would ever talk like that to someone they loved? But Marie was saying it.
And as Stella watched from the couch, she started to wonder if Dan had ever actually been in Marie's heart at all.
Just like she herself had no hesitation going afterEthan-because when there's no love, En there's no hesitation. But Marie... when Dan "died," hadn't she completely broken down? Dan: "You-you woman..." Marie: "What about me? Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to to do with you, scumbag
