Chapter 149

Teresa frowned. “Tori—”

“Teresa, it’s fine. I will accept responsibility for my so-called mistakes. I want to be alone, so you should return first.” Victoria cut her off with her hoarse voice.

Teresa pondered for a while before saying, “Okay.”

“I’ll give you half an hour, and if you don’t come back by then, I’ll come to you,” she then warned.

“Keep track of the time,” Teresa said while passing her phone to Victoria.

She nodded. “Teresa, I’m already twenty years old. Don’t treat me like a three- or four-year-old child who would be kidnapped at any time.”

“You worry me more than a child does,” replied Teresa.

Victoria pursed his lips and silently fiddled with the phone.

“I’ll head first, then.” Teresa waved at her and left.
