“Do I need him fussing over me like this? What, does Falvaria not have hospitals? And now I’m supposed to take care of him too? Who even says stuff like that?”
Tessa completely lost it.
She stormed back and forth across the living room, ranting non–stop.
Uh…
Well.
Stella had no idea what had actually happened over there.
But judging from Tessa’s reaction right now, things might be a little out of control with her being around Victor.
Clearing her throat, Stella offered, “If Victor’s hurt, there’s a chance he might run a fever tonight. You should give him some meds first. If that doesn’t work-”
“What’s even worse,” Tessa cut in before Stella could finish, “is this–he broke now or something?”
Stella replied, “No, he’s not.”
“Then why can’t he hire a housekeeper? If he’s got money, he could afford ten of them, not just one!”
Stella sighed. “He can afford it.”
“Then why won’t he?”
Tessa was genuinely baffled. He’d even fired the cook–what now, planning to turn her into his free maid?
Whatever. Those were minor things.
But what happened tonight?
Had gone way too far.
So what–just because he looked after her the other night, now she’s supposed to return the favor?
Stella explained, “Because the young and pretty ones try to seduce him.”
Apparently, that’s how the last batch of maids got let go.
Tessa snapped, “Then hire old ones. Ugly ones.”
“Those might be assassins!”
Which… also happened before.
Tessa fell silent.
What the-
Stella added, “Victor’s had a few incidents like that in the past. He got tired of it, so now he does everything himself.”
That’s why all his villas only had hourly workers coming in occasionally.
He didn’t want to deal with people who had hidden agendas.
Tessa asked, “So tonight, it’s gotta be me taking care of him, is that it?”
Stella nodded. “Yeah. Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll probably need to.”
Something unexpected. God, she was really starting to hate that phrase.

Chapter 412 Five Steps to Death
“Then can’t you send someone over?”
She was on the verge of a breakdown.
Stella was the Luke family’s little princess–sending someone should be a snap for her.
But Stella hesitated. “That… might not work.”
What now?
The way she said it, like even sending a maid was some kind of moral dilemma. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Stella explained, “Even if I send someone, Victor has to agree to it.”
“What about your brother? Can he send someone?”
“Same deal. Victor has to give the green light.”
So even Mr. Abraham didn’t have unlimited power in Falvaria? He actually needed someone’s permission?
Tessa’s face just fell.
Stella added, “The thing is… Victor’s a master of security systems.”

“From the moment you walk into his villa, there are traps everywhere. If you’re not someone he trusts, or if he hasn’t given you access, you could be taken down within five steps.”
Translation: anyone stepping into Victor’s territory without permission was playing with fire.
Literal, possibly fatal, fire.
He was basically a walking hazard zone.
Tessa sucked in a sharp breath. “Taken down in five steps?”
Stella nodded. “You walk in standing up, and end up a pile of ashes in the ground. For innocent people, that’s pretty brutal.”
Ashes. In the ground…
Yeah, that was more than a little dangerous.
And never mind whether Victor would approve someone coming over–if people knew they were heading into his turf, they probably wouldn’t even want to go.
Who’d dare? One wrong move and they’re toast.
Absolutely brutal.
After hearing all this, Tessa instinctively glanced around the villa.
“So the whole place is booby–trapped too?”
Stella replied, “Unless something unexpected happened, yeah.”
Great.
Meaning she was living in a house where her life was constantly on the line.
Stella warned, “So don’t go touching stuff in there. You might set off something.”
And it wouldn’t just be a joke. It could be fatal.
Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.
Good thing she wasn’t the type to poke around in other people’s houses. Otherwise, she might’ve already triggered something deadly.

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....
