“My mom! It’s confirmed now—she used to be the head of Ashen Pact. Isn’t that super dangerous?”

Tessa was desperate to find out more about Ashen Pact, but aside from what Victor had told her, she had nothing.

Stella replied, “Dangerous or not, I don’t know. But I can tell you this–there’s nothing you can do right

now.”

When Abraham first learned the truth, he had already told Stella, there was nothing he could do.

And if even he couldn’t do anything, there was no way Tessa could.

“I just want to see her once,” Tessa said.

See her?

“Can Abraham help me out? Stella, I’m counting on you here.”

“I’ll ask him,” Stella agreed.

After all, this was Ashen Pact they were talking about. Over the years, Abraham had moved freely through the arms underworld of Falvaria…

But when it came to Ashen Pact, he always kept his distance.

In his words, Ashen Pact’s internal structure was far too complicated, and he had no interest in wasting energy on it.

Especially when his own web of connections was already more than enough.

After a few more words with Tessa, Stella ended the call and immediately dialed Abraham.

Back when they were in Rivermount, Tessa would do anything for her at a moment’s notice.

Now, it was her turn.

ན

The call connected, and the man’s pampering voice came through, “You miss me already? Couldn’t fall asleep?”

Stella blushed. “No! What are you talking about?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s about Tessa. She wants to see her mother. Can you help?”

Stella wasn’t sure if Abraham had a way to pull it off, so she figured she’d ask first.

As expected, there was a brief pause on the line.

Then he said, “I’ll take care of it.”

“You really can do it? Then hurry–Tessa’s probably not eating or sleeping over this.”

Ever since her mother got into trouble, Tessa had talked about nothing else every time she called.

Abraham chuckled softly. “Got it. Now go to sleep.”

He coaxed her for another few seconds, then hung up.

Turning to Abel, who was driving, he said, “Call Victor. Tell him Tessa wants to see her mother.”

…Seriously?

Couldn’t Miss Tessa just ask Mr. Victor herself?

Back to Tessa.

She was starving. But she’d been doing everything possible to avoid Victor–especially around mealtimes.

If she went downstairs too early, she wasn’t hungry and couldn’t eat. But if she waited too long, the hunger was unbearable.

She tried to time it for when Victor wasn’t home, but his car just wouldn’t leave.

Was he not busy anymore?

She wanted to just go downstairs–but didn’t want to run into him.

Just as she was debating with herself, a knock came at the door.

“Ms. Tessa, Mr. Victor asked you to come to the study,” Lewis’s booming voice rang out.

Ms. Tessa?

What kind of title was that?

EI

Was he trying to mimic how Stella called her Tessa? That was Stella’s personal nickname for her!

And now they were all calling her Ms. Tessa?

Tessa pouted, instantly annoyed.

Lewis, totally oblivious to how offended she was, just kept calling out.

“Ms. Tessa? Ms. Tessa?”

That last one really did it.

It struck a nerve and made her snap.

She flung the door open and slapped Lewis across the face.

Holding his face in one hand, she growled, “What the hell is wrong with your mouth? Keep it up and I will rip it off.”

What even…?

She yanked her hand back and gave him a death glare. Lewis was so stunned by her ferocity that his brain short–circuited.

Mostly because lately, Tessa had been so soft and meek around Victor.

Every time she screwed up, all she did was cry.

And now she was blowing up?

Victor must’ve really pushed her past the edge.

Lewis coughed awkwardly. He wasn’t mad about the slap–in fact, he looked at her with a hint of sympathy.

After clearing his throat, he said, “Victor wants you in the study.”

“What for?” Tessa snapped.

She was trying her best to stay away from Victor. Just thinking about what Stella said on the phone…

Or the way Victor’s staff addressed her…

Maybe they really did think all that undressing nonsense from before was her way of seducing him.

Worse yet, after everything that happened, even if she tried to explain or deny it, no one would believe her.

“Let me make this clear–I don’t know how to treat wounds, and I’m not serving tea either.”

Hmph.

E

Doing either would just lead to more trouble. So now, she’d rather be totally lazy.

Lewis blinked. “Huh? No, no, you don’t need to do any of that. Just be good at acting cute.”
