The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 1024

Victor’s eyes darkened further. “He let you drink Coke, too?”

“No, he didn’t,” Tessa replied.

Victor: “…”

“He wouldn’t give me any. He said it’s bad for pregnant women.”

Tessa sounded incredibly aggrieved as she said this.

Victor and Lewis fell into a silent, bewildered state of speechlessness.

Bad for pregnant women… Manny said that to her?

That…

It was one thing to be a pathetic kidnapper, but why did it sound like he was actually looking out for her?

Lewis’s lip twitched. He wanted to say something, but seeing how black Victor’s face looked in the rearview mirror, he didn’t dare utter a word.

At that moment, Victor’s expression was truly grim.

It wasn’t until they arrived back at the manor that Tessa finally began to fully regain her senses.

As she stepped out of the car, she asked Victor, “Manny was bleeding so much… is he dead?”

Blood had sprayed right onto her face; he had to be in critical condition, right?

Victor shot her a side–glance. “Are you worried about him?”

“What? No way! He kicked my barbecue table over. Why would I care about him?”

“Hmph! Who does he think he is? Me, caring about him? That’s hilarious…”

But those last two things Manny had whispered in her ear–what did they mean? He said he was coming back for her…

Ugh!

Tessa shuddered, her skin crawling with goosebumps.

Victor wrapped an arm around her and pulled her toward the house. “Come on, let’s

go inside.”

“I’m hungry!” Tessa protested. “I haven’t eaten or drunk anything.”

Even though she’d had some barbecue, it was only a few bites. She was nowhere near full, and the thought of it made her feel quite mistreated.

Victor: “He kicked

your table?”

Tessa nodded like a little chick pecking at grain. “Yeah, he kicked the table.”

Lewis followed behind them, scratching his head in confusion.

Does she… does she even realize she was kidnapped? Look at how upset she is! She’s acting like her kidnapper didn’t serve her well enough. Is this really okay?

Diana received word that Tessa had been rescued by Victor and the others, and she rushed over immediately.

“My daughter, you scared me to death!”

Diana pulled Tessa into a hug, patted her back, and then held her at arm’s length to inspect her from head to toe. Once she confirmed Tessa was truly uninjured, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“I was terrified. That bastard Manny actually dared to snatch someone from under my nose.”

Diana had truly gone on a rampage. If it weren’t for the fact that Tessa was in Manny’s hands, she would have torn Black Mountain apart. Naturally, Artemis and Lana, who had fallen into her

grasp, hadn’t fared well either. She had been in a murderous mood all day.

“How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?” Diana asked.

Tessa shook her head. “No, I’m just hungry. I didn’t get enough to eat.”

Diana: “…”

Huh?

“You didn’t get enough to eat?”

What did that mean?

Seriously? Had her daughter been scared witless–returning from a kidnapping only to complain about being hungry? Did she think she had gone out for dinner?

“We were right in the middle of a great barbecue when Manny suddenly kicked the table over,” Tessa explained. “He did it right when Artemis called to say you had the kids.”

Diana’s lip twitched.

“Barbecue?”

Manny… gave her barbecue?

Wait, this…

Why did this situation sound a little bit strange?

Hold on,

now…

that bastard actually fed her daughter barbecue? Her daughter couldn’t eat that right

“He actually gave you barbecue? That infuriates me! That total moron–couldn’t he have made you some oats or something?”

Victor, Lewis: “…”

Norris, who had just walked in: “…”
