Stella sighed. “Yeah, she’s really anxious.”

“Victor’s handling it. What’s there to be anxious about?”
Abraham’s voice carried a trace of displeasure. He didn’t like how often Tessa was calling Stella lately.
Back before their trip to Rivermount, Tessa had been full of admiration–for him.
Stella didn’t catch the subtle tone shift. “Did you know Victor asked Tessa for compensation?”
What kind of nerve was that?
Tessa had nothing right now. If Victor insisted on taking something from her, Stella would be the one footing the bill.
But the fact that Tessa was being extorted–by one of Abraham’s own people, no less–made Stella fume.
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “He asked for money?”
He hadn’t expected that from Victor.
After all, man to man–he could see right through Victor. That guy had obvious feelings for Tessa.
And if that was the case, there was no way he’d be demanding cash.
Stella shook her head. “No, not money. Something else.”
If it were money, this whole thing would be over already. She’d just pay it off for Tessa–simple.
Abraham frowned. “Something else?”
So it wasn’t money. What was Victor even doing?
This whole thing was starting to drive her crazy.
The more she spoke, the more annoyed she got.
Tessa might not know how serious it was, but she was starting to boil over.
Abraham watched Stella rant with a small smirk tugging at his lips.
That made her even more irritated. “You’re laughing? Victor’s totally messing around! You gave him this job, and now he’s asking Tessa to pay for it?”
Abraham raised a brow and pulled her into his arms. “Alright, don’t be mad.”
“Just ask him what he wants already! Whatever it is, I’ll make sure Tessa gets it.”

Tessa had nothing left. If Victor wanted payment, she’d handle it.
Abraham gently tapped her puffed–up cheek with his fingers. “You probably can’t give him what he wants. And even if you could, it wouldn’t work.”
She couldn’t?
That meant whatever Victor wanted… it wasn’t something ordinary.
Something even she–Stella–couldn’t give, no matter how hard she tried?
“What is it then? What does Victor want?”
She was pouting now, clearly fed up with Victor’s games.
It wasn’t just that he was asking for something–it was that she couldn’t even guess what it was.
Abraham answered calmly, “To be exact, he only wants what Tessa can give.”
“What?” Stella blinked.
“So starting now, don’t get involved. For now, staying by Victor’s side is the safest place for her.”
But what was this compensation?
Now Stella was more puzzled than ever.
Not money.
Something only Tessa could give.
What on earth did that mean?
Maybe pregnancy was slowing her brain down. She’d used to be sharp–now, even after Abraham spelled it out, she couldn’t figure it out.
“I know she’s safest with Victor, especially while things with her mom and Ashen Pact aren’t settled yet,” Stella muttered. “But what the hell does he want as compensation?”
Tessa’s situation was far from normal. And even if things were resolved with her mother, her future still wouldn’t be easy.
Diana had been out of Ashen Pact for years, and they still dragged her back–clearly, something serious had happened.
Still watching Stella get stuck on the compensation question, Abraham gave a helpless smile and pinched her nose. “Let her figure it out.”
There it was again–figure it out herself.
That was exactly why Stella was asking him! Because Tessa couldn’t figure it out!

She stared at him, full of grievance, cheeks puffed in frustration.

Abraham said softly, “It’s not money. It’s something only Tessa can give. So what do you think Victor wants?”
“Tessa?” Stella’s voice squeaked.
Abraham nodded.
Her mouth twitched. “He… he’s after her?!”
Seriously?
That’s what Victor wanted as payment? The whole person?!
“No way.”
She rejected it instantly.
“Victor lives with a knife at his throat. If Tessa ends up with him, she’ll…”

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....
