Chapter 635 Keep Your Hand Right There
The moment Victor came walking over, Lewis froze; his first instinct was to call out, “Big Brother.”
But with a simple hand gesture, Victor shut him up.
He waved Lewis off, signaling for him to leave.
Lewis nodded and left.
Tessa still felt like the position Lewis had taught her wasn’t quite right–she couldn’t even see the target point clearly.
Just as she was about to adjust-
Suddenly, a strong hand wrapped around her waist. A man’s hand gripped her wrist, guiding her movements…
Tessa’s breath hitched; she instinctively tried to move away.
But then, she heard his low voice, laced with heat and restraint, “Don’t move.”
It was Victor.
His warm breath brushed against the side of her neck, sending a flush of warmth across her skin; it made her pulse flutter.
“Lift it a little higher,” he murmured.
“Like this?” Tessa asked.
Victor replied, “Fire.”
At his command, Tessa pulled the trigger–and this time, hit the bullseye dead center.
Before Victor arrived, she had already trained with Lewis for an hour. She’d gone from being too scared to even fire a gun, to have her arms ache from the recoil.
Surprisingly, the same Tessa who had grown especially prone to tears around Victor lately had managed to tough it out today.
Her arms, especially the web of her thumb, were already numb from the repeated shocks.
But still, she persisted.
From discovering the truth about her past, to having her identity revealed night, every moment had come so suddenly.
Tessa understood now, time wasn’t on her side. to almost being kidnapped last
As she stared at the bullet hole in the center of the target, Victor’s hand tightened slightly around her waist.
A deep glint flickered in his eyes. “What made you want to learn to shoot all of a sudden? Because of last night?”
Tessa nodded, then added, “What’s happening with my mom, it’s only just beginning.”
Starting her own path was only the first step.
What happened years ago had never truly ended. And because this was only the beginning, the hardships and brutality still to come were impossible to predict.
Tessa had never been the sentimental type.
She adapted quickly; this shift in mindset wasn’t sudden at all.
Victor said, “You don’t actually need to do this
As his woman, he would protect her.
“The Ashen Pact is in a pretty chaotic state right now. If you want to help your mom, it’s not going to be easy.”
“What kind of chaos?” she asked.
The moment she heard the word chaos, Tessa’s heart began to pound. She had the gut–wrenching feeling everything was teetering on the edge of disaster.
She didn’t even want to imagine what kind of storms her mom might be caught in.
Victor said, “From what I can tell, it’s not just your mom versus the current leader.”
Tessa was stunned.
Victor’s hand still rested on her waist. “Your father, Dale, and his current wife… apparently they have more than one son.”
“What?” Tessa said, wide–eyed.
More than one son? Just how fertile is that woman? She’d already had a set of twins, now there
Victor added, “There’s another son; he’s fighting for power with the current leader were ma
Tessa was stunned again. How many sons are we talking here?
“Then what about Dale? Whose side is he on?”
Tessa pondered. Good grief, this whole thing’s a complete mess.
“My mom… was she found by the current leader?”
Victor said, “Yes.”
Which meant things were even more tangled than they appeared.

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....
