The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Victor’s Bad Cop Isn’t Fooling Her

Tessa was worried–she was just one girl, and in those people’s hands, no one knew what could happen to her.

Stella nodded. “I’ve already sent people to look for her; there’s just no news yet.”

Back in Rivermount. Stella had already begun investigating the whereabouts of Tessa’s mother

But days had passed now, and still, no updates had come through.

She had no idea what kind of trouble she had gotten into this time–whoever it was, they clearly weren’t ordinary people.

If necessary, they might have to tap into Abraham’s connections.

Hearing that, Tessa felt even more touched.

But before she could say anything, Lewis came down the stairs and looked straight at her. “Ms. Tessa, the boss wants to see you you upstairs.”

The moment she saw Lewis, Tessa instinctively shrank behind Stella

And after hearing his words, she clung even tighter to Stella’s arm, refusing to let go.

“I’m not going.”

Stella could clearly hear the edge of distress in her voice; it was obvious–Tessa had been thoroughly shaken by Victor.

Lewis called again, “Ms. Tessa.”

“I’m really not going. I can’t cook, and I don’t know anything about medicine! You’re the ones who insisted I take care of him Now something goes wrong and suddenly I’m the one who tried to kill him? Who even thinks like that?”

The longer she talked, the more wronged she sounded.

She had told them she couldn’t do any of it. She’d ruined that bowl of noodles beyond recognition.

Forcing someone to do something they’re not capable of who does thatt

Stella looked at Lewis. What does Victor want with Tessa? Say it clearly, and don’t try to intimidate her.”

Tessa was terrified; but Stella–Stella wasn’t afraid of any of them.

Lewis looked annoyed at the word intimidate. “Alright, I was in a bad mood last night. I spoke harshly; don’t take it out on me.”

Stella went quiet.

Tessa was stunned “What do you mean?”

Lewis replied, “I mean, I’ve always treated you pretty well. Don’t let one bad night scare you off.”

What? Treated her well? Was he hearing himself?

Victor’s treatment of her could hardly be called “good”

Stella and Tessa were dumbfounded.

He definitely hasn’t been kind. And Victor, he scared me too. He said plenty of awful things last night. She thought bitterly.

All she wanted now was to leave with Stella.

“I’m not going upstairs, no matter what”

That kind of subbornness…

Hack then, she never would’ve dared. But now that Stella was here, she finally found some backbone.

Lewis looked at her pathetic attempt at defiance–it was soft and flimsy: like paper, easy to tear through.

“Alright then.” Lewis said, “but you said it. Don’t blame us later when the boss loses interest in telling you anything about your

Tessa’s eyes widened..

My mom? Wait…

“I’ll go right now!”

News about my mother? That tough stance vanished in an instant? Stella was stunned.

Tessa couldn’t afford to care anymore. No one knew just how much she’d been suffering these past few days; every second, her mind had been consumed by thoughts of her mother and Wesley,

Still… Victor? Helping her find someone?

That can be real, she thought. But whatever–I’ll ask first and figure it out later.

Just as she reached the stairs, Abraham walked through the front door.

He arrived so quickly that Stella froze for a second; even Lewis‘ expression faltered.

Then he quickly snapped back to attention. “Boss.”

Abraham asked. “Where’s Victor?”

“In his room. Still a little weak; he’s lying down”

That word made Tessa’s guilt surge. She instinctively turned her face away.

Abraham glanced over at Stella.

Stella rose from the sofa and muttered, “If Tessa doesn’t leave, then I’m not leaving either.”

Same line, same stance.

They were leaving together–or not at all.

Tessa looked up at her, teary–eyed. “Stella…”

her.

Stella raised a hand to stop h

Men think differently from women. Now that Victor suspected Tessa, if he mentioned anything to Abraham, there was a chance Abraham would start doubting her too.

And if she lost Abraham…

Then getting Tessa out of Victor’s grasp would be nothing short of impossible.

Seeing Abraham stay silent, Stella walked over to him, tugged softly at his sleeve. “Brother.”

She looked up at him with big, pleading eyes–resolute, but gentle.

Lewis pressed a hand to his forehead. Great. The boss is about to lose his girl.

Abraham reached out and ruffled Stella’s hair. “I’m going to see Victor first,”

Stella nodded sweetly. “Mm.” Then, not forgetting to emphasize, “I am taking Tessa with me.”
