Chapter 346 Lock Down the Airport.
Then she took off running, full speed ahead without looking back. And now… She pulled out her phone, planning to call Wesley.
But before she could, she saw Wesley running toward her from not far away, followed by two- men in black caps. Wait, not just two. Behind those two, a few more people were closing in. All of them were after her?
Tessa was shocked. Who exactly had they offended?
Wesley saw Tessa standing frozen and shouted at her, “Run!”
Startled by his yell. Tessa jumped, her legs reacting faster than her brain, and she turned around land bolted. She might have short legs, but she always ranked in the top five in long–distance runs
at school. With that many people chasing her, the sense of danger was overwhelming.
She dashed out of the airport and spotted a black van just about to drive off, the door slowly closing-
Victor, who was on a call inside the van, suddenly felt a gust of wind followed by a force hitting behind his knees. At the same moment, the car door shut. He frowned, looked down, and saw a small figure curled up under his legs like a baby.
She was pressed up against his thigh, breathing heavily.
Victor narrowed his eyes. “Excuse me?”
Tessa was shocked. She had her head down and eyes shut, completely unaware of what–or who
was pressing down on her. That voice… it was both familiar and unsettling. She shivered.
Slowly, she lifted her head and peeked through the gap between the man’s long legs.
Their eyes met. Victor’s sharp gaze carried a hint of amusement. “Ms. Miller, what is this?”
It was only then that Tessa realized how ridiculous her hiding spot was. In her panic, she had jumped into the van…. And ended up under Victor’s legs? Seriously, what kind of bad luck was this? She wasn’t even planning to bring up the kiss anymore!
Tessa forced a dry smile. “Mr. Victor. Hello.” She smiled on the outside, but inside she was dying.
Victor ended his call and bent down, offering her his hand. Tessa looked at his outstretched palm. She gave another forced laugh and placed her icy little hand into his warm, broad one.
Victor spread his legs slightly and pulled her up. As she straightened up, the awkwardness of their position became painfully clear. She had literally been kneeling between his legs?
“Ha, well… I, uh, I’m being chased by some bad guys?” That explanation would have to do.
Whether Victor believed her or not… Well, it was true.

Chapter 346 Lock Down the Airport
He raised an eyebrow. “Again?”
+8 Pearls
Tessa swallowed hard. Come to think of it, could those people at Rivermount Airport have been after her too? God, no….
If that was true, then nowhere was safe. What kind of mess had her mom gotten into this time?
She was the CEO of Night Corp. Was it really okay for her daughter to be hunted down like this? Tessa forced a bitter smile. ‘See? I knew you wouldn’t believe me, but-”
She didn’t even need to finish. Voices came from just outside the van. One of the men shouted angrily and kicked a luggage cart. “Damn, those two ran fast.”
Tessa had been about to get up, but hearing them that close, she instinctively dropped back down. Unfortunately, Victor’s legs were right there, pinning her shoulders. Her head ended up resting on his abdomen.
Victor and Tessa were both stunned. Even she was mortified. She gripped his waist tightly, not daring to move,
“Just… let me hide a little longer. Just a bit.” This had to be a nightmare. She was born in peacetime–how was she now living out some action movie chase scene?
Outside, one of the men was on the phone. “Sorry, boss. The two chicks got away.”
“What? Lock down the airport?”
“Got it.”
Tessa was speechless. Lock… down the airport? That guy must be pretty powerful here in Falvaria. Did Mom send me here without realizing the risk? Or worse–did she have no idea who she’d crossed?
This was a total disaster. Tessa was sweating with anxiety. Half of her face was still resting on. Victor’s stomach as she turned to look up at him.
“Why aren’t we driving yet?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan)
Ch 489 Doesn’t this prove that Dan doesn’t actually have amnesia? Why would he go to the island with a strange woman and why would he steal from Derrick? He doesn’t know them....
Ch 488 I feel like this is going to be what Stella stole in his study in Pagenda or wherever his estate was....
Ch 485 I thought it was going to be the Reed family mine that she robbed, thus taking the Keenes product and leaving them in that situation....
Ch 483 o then, how did the Reeds fine her? How did they not know where she was from?...
Ch 477 Definitely hidden pedo in here, referring to tiny women as little girls in every way possible....
Ch 468 How could Stella inherit her adopted father’s weak stomach constitution?...
Ch 468 Abraham and Marie’s mother has been called Evelyn, Diane and Loretta.. which is it? Evelyn has been the most used....
Ch 465 She still doesn’t know the mistress is Lillian’s aunt?...
Ch 464 Why didn’t she kick her out herself be for she went to attack the mistress…...
Ch 463 This is stupid now. I understand being scared in his presence enough to not think straight, but she’s a lone more often than not and has plenty of time to think things through, especially if she has time to get gossip from Rivermount and report to Stella....
