The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 If She’s Stuck Then So Am I

Stella was stunned. Can’t say for sure! Can’t say for sure!

They might as well scare her to death right in front of them; once she was dead, suddenly everything would be “for sure.

“Then let me make it clear–I’m taking her with me today.”

Lewis shook his head. “You really can’t”

Back and forth they went.

One insisted on taking her; the other refused to let her go.

Tessa sat in the living room, overhearing the exchange between Stella and Lewis. Her nose twitched; tears slipped down her cheeks uncontrollably again.

She had believed–truly believed–that once Stella came back, she’d finally be free from this den of lunatics;

But now. not even Stella could get her out.

That thought sent her spiraling: despair washed over her as she burst out crying. “Wah…”

The sudden wailing brought an immediate hush to the argument between Stella and Lewis; both turned to look at Tessa.

Seeing her cry l like that made Stella even more anxious. She turned on her heel and rushed down the stairs toward Tessa. “Tessa, don’t worry; I will take you with me today.”

Lewis objected, “You really can’t.”

Tessa sobbed louder.

“Shut up,” Stella snapped.

Back and forth again.

The truth was, Stella couldn’t take Tessa; Victor had made that crystal clear, and Lewis‘ obnoxious mouth wasn’t helping.

Frustrated, Stella plopped down onto the living room sofa.

Tessa sat beside her, clinging to her arm; she looked completely traumatized,

Right now, what scared her the most–was Stella leaving

Lewis crossed his arms and said sternly, “Ms. Tessa, clinging to our little princess won’t help; the investigation’s going forward no matter what.”

Stella, seeing how they were treating Tessa, instantly flared up.

“Eddie already went to Mambia Desert, you know that?”

Lewis was caught off guard. What’s that supposed to mean?

“Ms. Dawson, what are you implying?”

Stella narrowed her eyes. “I’m implying that if you say one more word, I’ll tell Victor to send you there too.”

Lewis froze.

Holy hell, that godforsaken place? No way he was going there.

Tessa, who had been terrified just moments ago, started to feel a little better now, clearly, Stella held real weight in Falvaria.

With just one sentence, she’d shut Lewis right up.

Chapter 473 If She’s Stuck Then So Am I

Smiffling pitifully, she whispered, “Stella, you can’t leave me here.”

If Stella left now, “Tessa was certain she wouldn’t survive. This place was terrifying.

One word, and they slapped her with a criminal charge.

And here on their turf–no matter what she said, even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn’t explain herself.

Stella nodded. “Mm, don’t worry. I’m not leaving you,”

Lewis tried again, “Ms. Dawson, the boss told me to escort you home personally. Why don’t you get in the car!”

“I’m not going. Stella shot back.

“Then what are you doing here? No matter how long you sit around, you’re still not taking Ms. Tessa with you.”

Hearing that, Tessa clung even tighter to Stella’s arm.

If I’m stuck here, she thought, then Stella’s not going anywhere either.

Lewis saw Tessa’s reaction and got anxious. “Ms. Tessa, please let go of Ms. Dawson.”

“I won’t! Stella, don’t leave me!”

“Okay, I won’t go, I won’t,” Stella reassured her.

-Lewis insisted. “The boss said you must be escorted back.”

And once she was gone, she wouldn’t be allowed back in–not even half a step.

They hadn’t anticipated Stella would show up like this today. If they’d known, they would’ve stopped her at the gate.

Now, things were a mess–Tessa was terrified; Stella refused to leave; Victor wanted her gone; Lewis was stuck trying to enforce it.

In short, it was an ugly scene.

“I’m not leaving.”

Feeling Tessa’s fear only made Stella more resolute. Her voice grew firmer–unshakable.

Lewis rubbed his temples. “Fine; then wait until the boss comes to get you himself”

She didn’t want to go, and they didn’t dare use force.

She was Abraham’s dearest; anyone who laid a hand on her might as well kiss their life goodbye.

Lewis went upstairs to report to Victor.

That left Stella and Tessa alone. Tessa’s tears flowed again, moved to the core. “Stella, you really can’t leave me.”

Stella nodded. “Mm, I won’t leave you.”

“I love you so much. You’re all I’ve got left,” Tessa said, nuzzling into her arm.

Tears and snot smeared all over Stella’s sleeve.

Stella didn’t mind; she handed her a tissue. “Alright, stop crying now.”

Tessa took it and wiped her face. “I really didn’t mean it. The meds just looked way too similar.”
