PopularNovelChapter 566 The Direct Way or No Way Now Victor wanted her to be the compensation? What the hell did that even mean? People were impossible to figure out. Just way, way too deep...
Stella: “Just ask him directly." Reading that short line made Tessa feel like her entire brain short-circuited.
Seriously? That's her advice? Suddenly, Stella didn't seem all that reliable anymore.
Finished Wait-was she ever reliable to begin with? Back in Rivermount, whenever someone tried to play games with her, she just hit back.
She was the classic example of someone who couldn't be bothered with schemes or mental gymnastics- she'd rather just punch her way through.
And this was the person Tessa expected to offer her a clever solution? Another message popped up from Stella: "You got a better idea?" Tessa: "Nope!" She was desperate to see her mom, but she also had to figure out what Victor wanted from her. It was exhausting.
Stella: "Then ask him." Ask him directly? Honestly, consulting Stella had been useless. Her solution was always the same-cut to the chase, no filters.
No wonder Lilian lost to her. If Stella had even a slightly more strategic brain, she might've gotten played.
But the moment she felt wronged or falsely accused, she didn't argue-she swung.
And now here Tessa was, expecting someone like that to help her think up a good plan? Forget it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut on the other hand... she had no better plan herself.
Tessa felt her head pounding.
Knock knock knock.
1/4 00:20 Tue, Aug 5 ☐ X Chapter 566 The Direct Way or No Way The sound dragged her back to reality. Lewis's voice cfrom the other side of the door.
"Ms. Tessa, Boss is heading out. You'll have dinner on your own tonight." Could he stop calling her "Ms. Tessa" already? "Got it." Like they'd been eating meals together lately anyway.
She had been avoiding Victor as much as humanly possible, especially around mealtimes.
"I need your help with something, by the way." "What help?" The moment she heard that, every hair on Tessa's body stood up.
Was it something related to Victor? If it was, there was no way she was getting involved.
Lewis said, "It's about Boss's wound- "Stop. I can't help." She cut him off immediately.
Help with Victor's injury? No chance.
Finished "Can't someone else do it? I really can't. And I'm still under suspicion as a spy, remember? Don't askto do anything-I'm not touching it." Lewis fell silent as she rattled off excuse after excuse.
He finally said, "Are you really okay with that?" "It doesn't matter. I'm not doing it." Last tshe tried to help with Victor's injury, it nearly ended in disaster.
Everyone treated her like she was cursed. No way was she going through that again.
"Alright then. Just don't forget to eat." Seeing she was that adamant, Lewis didn't push it. He turned and headed toward Victor's room.
As the footsteps faded, Tessa let out a huge sigh.
Oh my God.
She really felt like she was going to die of stress.
Exp 2/4 00:20 Tue, Aug 5 D X Finished Chapter 566 The Direct Way or No Way Stella told her to stay away from Victor-and she'd been trying. Because the minute she got close to him, it turned into either stripping him or sother disaster.
Just the last injury incident alone nearly killed him.
No matter what happened now, she was going to listen to Stella. No more trouble.
At the banquet- By the tStella arrived, Marie was already there, wearing a black dress.
She didn't have much choice. Her complexion only worked with black now-any other color just made her look darker.
Seeing Stella, Marie approached quickly.
"Little Stella." "How'd you get here first? I thought we were going together." Marie sighed. "Don't even ask. It was that bastard Derrick." Just saying his nmade her blood boil.
She couldn't calm down at all when it cto him.
"Weren't you going to beat him up?" "I did. But it didn't work." Right now, Marie was beyond frustrated with Derrick.
Of course she tried to hit him. She just couldn't drive him away.
As she told Stella all about it, she pulled her toward the food tables.
But after just a few steps, Stella's arm was gently pulled back.
She turned around. "Wh-what is it?" Marie looked at Abraham in confusion.
Abraham raised an eyebrow. "You're going to eat?" Stella nodded. "Yeah. Gonna eat while she vents."
Marie had a lot to say about Derrick, and Stella wanted snacks, while she listened. Abraham pulled her back.
